The interim government facilitates an agreement with the administration of Kosovo, a nation Bangladesh does not formally recognize, on Rohingya repatriation. The public is shown one script; the world of diplomacy and high-stakes strategy is shown another. The domestic teleprompter switches off, and a different script is pulled from the podium.

Our task in this interim period is to watch both feeds -- the domestic broadcast and the international wire services.
