— Bangladesh’s Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has resigned from her position and fled the country as protesters stormed her residence in Dhaka, bringing an end to weeks of unrest. The decision came after days of escalating protests against her government, with protesters demanding her resignation over allegations of corruption and mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The protesters, led by opposition parties and student groups, had been demonstrating for weeks, calling for political reforms and better governance. Clashes between protesters and security forces had turned violent in recent days, leading to a state of emergency being declared in the country.
Hasina’s resignation and departure from the country came as a shock to many, as she had been in power for over a decade and was the first female Prime Minister of Bangladesh. Her departure has left a power vacuum in the country, with questions arising about who will lead the nation in her absence.
The situation in Bangladesh remains tense, with fears of further violence and political instability. International leaders have called for calm and urged all parties to engage in dialogue to resolve the crisis peacefully.
As the political crisis in Bangladesh continues to unfold, the world watches anxiously to see what will happen next. The resignation of Prime Minister Hasina and the growing unrest in the country serve as a reminder of the volatility of politics in the region and the fragility of democratic institutions.
