St Martin Island is a small island (area only 3 km2) in the northeastern part of the Bay of Bengal, about 9 km south of the tip of the ***'s Bazar-Teknaf peninsula, and forming the southernmost part of Bangladesh. There is a small adjoining island that is separated at high tide, called Chera Dwip. It is about 8 kilometres (5 miles) west of the northwest coast of Myanmar, at the mouth of the Naf River.

Millennia ago, the island used to be an extension of the Teknaf peninsula, but portion of this peninsula later got submerged and thus the southernmost part of the aforementioned peninsula became an island, and was disconnected from the Bangladesh mainland. The island was first settled in the 18th century by Arabian merchants, who named it "Jazira". During British occupation the island was named after the then Deputy Commissioner of Chittagong Mr. Martin as St. Martin Island. Local names of the island are "Narikel Jinjira" which means "Coconut Island", and "Daruchini Dwip" which means "Cinnamon Island"

US want this Island and convert it into "Diego Garcia" so that it can control South Asia which is growing rapidly. This is highly strategic location for a Naval and Air force base. Shaikh Hasina rejected a US base, resisting USA's attempt to compromise Bangladesh's sovereignty. This is the root cause of problem

The south Asia is now standing up against US bully which is not liked by US democrats and CIA
