Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has resigned and fled the country amid escalating protests and violence. The protests, initially sparked by a controversial job quota system, have evolved into a widespread movement demanding her resignation. The government's brutal crackdown on demonstrators resulted in hundreds of deaths and thousands of arrests, leading to a nationwide curfew and the closure of educational institutions. Violence escalated over the weekend with targeted attacks on Hindu communities and significant destruction of property, including the prime minister's residence. The unrest has been described as one of the deadliest periods in Bangladesh's recent history, with reports of up to 300 deaths and continuing clashes. Hasina has reportedly sought refuge in India, and the military is working to restore order in the country.
