Sheikh Hasina Resigns Amid Bangladesh Protests
News summary

In Bangladesh, a student-led revolution has toppled Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, leading to her resignation and flight to India, and the establishment of an interim government headed by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus. The protests were triggered by dissatisfaction with a quota system favoring veterans' descendants for government jobs, amid high youth unemployment. The situation has strained Bangladesh-India relations, with calls for New Delhi to engage with all political stakeholders in Bangladesh rather than favoring specific leaders. The political upheaval has also led to increased violence and radicalization among the youth, causing widespread concern for the future stability of the region. Despite a reported growth rate of 5.6%, Bangladesh faces looming crises, including falling export demand and corruption.
