Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina Resigns and Flees Amid Protests, Interim Govt to Take Over
Aug 5, 2024, 09:43 AM
Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has resigned and fled the country amid escalating protests and violence. Reports indicate that she left her official residence in Dhaka, Ganabhaban, which was stormed by protesters, and flew to a safer location, possibly India, accompanied by her sister Sheikh Rehana on a military helicopter. The unrest, which has claimed over 200 lives in the past month, culminated in protesters storming the Prime Minister's palace. The Bangladesh Army Chief, Waker Uz Zaman, has announced the formation of an interim government to manage the country's affairs. Hasina's resignation ends her 15-year tenure in power.
