In a stunning turn of events, Bangladesh\u2019s Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has resigned and fled the country, the BBC reports.<\/p>\n
Hasina, who has led Bangladesh since 2009, is currently onboard a helicopter heading to the Indian city of Agartala, according to BBC Bengali.<\/p>\n
The resignation comes amid escalating unrest in the capital, Dhaka, where thousands of protesters have taken to the streets, demanding her resignation.<\/p>\n
The protests, which began last month as a student-led movement to abolish quotas in civil service jobs, have transformed into a broader anti-government uprising.<\/p>\n
Clashes between police and protesters have left at least 90 people dead in the past day alone, with reports indicating that some demonstrators have stormed Hasina\u2019s official residence.<\/p>\n
Over the past month, approximately 300 people have been killed as authorities cracked down on the growing anti-government protests.<\/p>\n
The unrest reflects widespread dissatisfaction with Hasina\u2019s administration and calls for significant political change.<\/p>\n
In response to the crisis, Army Chief General Waker-Uz-Zaman has addressed the nation in a televised speech.<\/p>\n
He announced that an interim government would be formed and stated his intention to meet with President Mohammed Shahabuddin to find a solution by the end of the day.<\/p>\n
General Waker-Uz-Zaman also mentioned that he had already spoken with opposition political parties, though it remains unclear who will head the interim government.<\/p>\n
The army chief vowed to deliver \u201cjustice\u201d for all Bangladeshi people, a pledge that resonates with the protesters\u2019 demands following the deaths of hundreds over the past few weeks.<\/p>\n
As the situation continues to unfold, the nation waits anxiously to see how the interim government will address the widespread calls for reform and accountability.<\/p>\n
