Muhammad Yunus to Lead Bangladesh's Interim Government After Protests Oust PM Sheikh Hasina
Aug 8, 2024, 08:50 AM
Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus has been appointed as the head of Bangladesh's interim government following the resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who fled to India amid weeks of student-led protests and civil unrest. The interim government, which is expected to include 18 members, will be sworn in on Thursday. Yunus, known for his pioneering work with microcredit and as a Nobel Peace Prize-winning economist, has called for calm and urged Bangladeshis to prepare for rebuilding the country. The military and armed forces are supporting the interim administration, and Yunus has vowed to restore law and order, protect minorities, and ensure a free and fair election in the coming months. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has extended his congratulations and expressed hope for an early return to normalcy.
