Old, often grainy images of Bangladesh’s War of Liberation show carrion feeding on the bloated bodies of murdered Bangali civilians along the rivers and marshes of the country. And among these pictures is the odd spectacle of grinning Bangali villagers holding up the severed head of a Pakistani soldier killed by the Mukti Bahini.

A COLD WELCOME FOR YAHYA
President Yahya Khan arrived in Dhaka today. No local political leader went to the airport to meet him. All the entries of the airport were heavily guarded. Siddiq Salik, then public relations officer in the Pakistan army in Dhaka, recounts, It was a strange, eerie atmosphere charged with a deadly stillness. There were no bouquets of flowers, no civil officials, no rows of city elite, no hustling of journalists, and no clicking of cameras. Even the official photographer was not admitted. [Siddiq Salik, Witness to Surrender, UPL 1997, pg.59]
Yahya drove quickly to the president s house in a heavily armed convoy. He could not help seeing that virtually every house sported a black flag mandated by the Awami League. The Farmgate check point was removed by Awami League to avoid embarrassment to the president whom Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman earlier declared publicly as a guest of Bangladesh .

PREVENT THE THREAT OF GENOCIDE
In a press statement issued on March 10, 1971, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman urged the UN Secretary General to take action to avert the threat of genocide in East Pakistan. Referring to UN Secretary General U Thant s approval of withdrawal of UN employees from East Pakistan, Bangabandhu said the Secretary General could not ignore his responsibility of protecting the human rights of the 70 million Bangalees. In that case it would be a clear violation of the UN human rights mandate, he added.
BANGABANDHU S MESSAGE TO BLOOD
Archer K. Blood, the American consul general in Dhaka, writes in his memoir that on March 10, 1971, Bangabandhu sent a message to him via Alamgir Rahman, who informed that Mujib was greatly relieved at the news of Yahya s coming to Dhaka for a discussion. Bangabandhu wanted very much to work out with Yahya some political settlement that would avoid bloodshed, satisfy Bangalee aspirations and preserve some vestige of a link wit
