Bangladesh Protests Erupt After Hasina's Ouster, Tensions Rise

Bangladesh's interim government, led by Professor Muhammad Yunus, is grappling with rising tensions and unrest linked to the ousting of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Recent protests have escalated into violence, including the arson of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's historic residence, which protesters linked to Hasina's remarks made from exile in India. The interim government has condemned these acts of vandalism and is prepared to take severe measures against those involved. Amid this unrest, Hasina's Awami League party plans protests in February, further inflaming opposition against the interim administration. Criticism of Yunus's government centers on its handling of economic issues and human rights violations, as thousands of Hasina's supporters have been arrested since her removal. The political landscape remains volatile, with uncertainty about the future and calls for Hasina's extradition from India not yet addressed.
