Deadly Protests Lead to Resignation
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Wazed has resigned and fled the country following weeks of deadly protests.
The protests, which began as student-led demonstrations against corruption and the government's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, escalated into violence in recent days. Clashes between protesters and police have resulted in multiple deaths and injuries.
Prime Minister Hasina, who has been in power since 2009, is the longest-serving prime minister in Bangladesh's history. Her resignation marks a significant political development in the country.
The protesters were reportedly closing in on a convoy of vehicles carrying Prime Minister Hasina when she made her decision to leave the country. The details of her resignation and departure are still unfolding, but it is clear that the protests have had a profound impact on Bangladesh's political landscape.
