Meanwhile in Bangladesh

TLDR
 
After weeks of mass protests against her authoritarian rule, Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina resigned and fled to India. The military refused to support her, leading to her downfall. An interim government is now tasked with restoring order and preparing for new elections amidst ongoing violence and economic instability.
 
Bangladesh has entered a period of intense political upheaval following the resignation and flight of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on August 5. After weeks of mass protests against her increasingly autocratic rule, Hasina's hold on power crumbled when she lost the crucial support of the military. The protests, initially sparked by discontent over government job quotas, grew into a nationwide movement against her 15-year reign, which had become synonymous with authoritarianism and economic mismanagement.
 
The situation escalated dramatically when Hasina ordered a brutal crackdown on protesters, resulting in the deaths of over 200 people, mostly at the hands of police and paramilitary forces. Despite her attempts to stifle dissent by imposing curfews, shutting down the internet, and arresting protest leaders, public anger only intensified. The tipping point came when the army, led by newly appointed chief Waker-Uz-Zaman, refused to intervene on Hasina's behalf, signaling the end of her government.
 
In the wake of Hasina's departure, an interim government has been formed, tasked with restoring order and preparing for new elections within 90 days. The interim administration faces the dual challenge of preventing further violence, particularly against members of Hasina's Awami League, and addressing the deep-seated political and economic issues that fueled the protests.
 
The interim government, which includes representatives from opposition parties and civil society, aims to steer Bangladesh back toward democracy after years of increasingly authoritarian rule.
