1. Which country has recalled its ambassadors from multiple countries?
Bangladesh has called back ambassadors to the US, Russia, Japan, Maldives, Germany, Saudi Arabia, and UAE, and ordered them to return to Dhaka. This action follows an announcement by the country's Foreign Ministry on August 14. The ambassadors are to leave their current posts immediately. This comes amidst the ongoing investigation by Bangladesh's International Crimes Tribunal on charges of genocide and crimes against humanity against former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and the 1971 war with Pakistan.
