Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina Resigns Monday Amid Youth-Led Uprising and Military Pressure
Aug 12, 2024, 03:45 PM
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina of Bangladesh has resigned and fled the country following a mass uprising led by young protesters. The protests, initially sparked by discontent over a quota system for government jobs, escalated into a broader movement against Hasina's nearly 16-year rule, which was characterized by accusations of authoritarianism and corruption. The military's pressure and escalating clashes between police and anti-government protesters further intensified the situation, leading to her resignation on Monday. The youth-led movement, which played a crucial role in Hasina's downfall, is now focused on restoring democracy and establishing a merit-based society. Former student protesters have taken on roles as cabinet ministers and traffic cops, aiming to bring order and chart a new future for Bangladesh, a nation of 170 million people.
