Bangladesh's Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Resigns
Country's Army Chief to Oversee Formation of Interim Government
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina of Bangladesh has resigned and the army will oversee the formation of an interim government, the country's army chief said on Monday.
The announcement comes after weeks of student-led protests spiraled into deadly violence, with at least five people killed in clashes with police.
Hasina's Resignation Marks the End of an Era
Hasina, 71, has been in power since 2009. She is the daughter of Bangladesh's first president, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, who was assassinated in 1975.
Hasina's resignation marks a significant turning point for Bangladesh, which has been struggling with political instability and economic challenges in recent years.
The interim government will be tasked with preparing for new elections, which are expected to be held within the next three months.
Bangladesh's Future Uncertain
It is unclear what the future holds for Bangladesh. The country is facing a number of challenges, including poverty, unemployment, and corruption.
The army's takeover has raised concerns about the country's democratic institutions. However, the army chief has pledged to restore democracy as soon as possible.
The people of Bangladesh are hoping for a peaceful and democratic transition of power. They are also hoping that the new government will be able to address the country's many challenges.
