❝ Peace and Betterment for Bangladesh ❞

“Zahid F. Sarder Saddi is a man who is motivated by the need for change. He says it best himself, stating: “The fight for peace and betterment is ingrained in my blood.”

Originally from Dhaka, Bangladesh, Saddi is a prominent Bangladeshi political activist and humanitarian. He served as a Foreign Advisor to the three-time Prime Minister of Bangladesh, the Honorable Begum Khaleda Zia. He was also appointed as a Special Envoy to the Bangladesh Nationalist Party–BNP, and was nominated as a member of the Bangladesh Parliament Pirojpur-1 constituency despite not campaigning for the position.

Saddi’s political career has been augmented by his access to a top-quality Western education; he holds multiple degrees from Penn State University. Currently, he is politically exiled from Bangladesh as a result of the current oppressive regime and his beliefs, is still an active participant in Bangladeshi politics from a distance. He has spoken in panels held by the U.S. Congress, the United Nations, the Woodrow Wilson Center, Human Rights Watch, Democracy International, and the Prestigious Heritage Foundation, to name a few.

When he’s not in Washington, D.C. or New York engaging in political activism, he lives in Florida with his wife Lyudmila, a Doctor of Internal Medicine, and their sons William & Edward.
