Bangladesh Army to Form Interim Government After PM Resigns​



Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina resigned Monday after weeks of deadly protests, while the nation’s army chief announced he would help form an interim government.

Army Chief Waker-Uz-Zaman made the announcement in a televised address, saying he’d invited political leaders to a meeting and will also meet with President Mohammed Shahabuddin on the matter. The army expects to reach a solution tonight, he said.

Local media reported that Hasina, 76, fled the country with her sister as anti-government protesters converged on the capital. She had faced pressure to resign for weeks following demonstrations that turned deadly.

Protesters stormed her official residence on Monday afternoon, Channel 24 reported. TV images showed hundreds of people ransacking the building and taking away chicken, fish and vegetables.

Hasina’s resignation follows a weekend of student-led clashes with pro-government supporters that left about 100 dead. About 200 were killed in unrest in July already.

What started out in late June as peaceful protests seeking to abolish a government jobs quota turned into deadly unrest in recent weeks with demonstrators seeking to oust Hasina.

The political turmoil is a setback for the economy, which is reliant on financial aid from the International Monetary Fund and other donors, and earns most of its foreign exchange from exports of garments. Major clothing brands like Hennes & Mauritz AB, Adidas AG, Wal-Mart Inc. and Gap Inc. have operations in the country.


Bangladesh has taken a $10 billion hit to the economy from the curfews and the internet blackouts. The unrest has made it difficult for garment manufacturers to operate, impacting the country’s foreign exchange earnings. Reserves dropped to $21.8 billion in June.

While Hasina had overseen rapid growth in the economy and helped lift millions out of poverty, those achievements were often overshadowed by what critics contend is her authoritarianism, and accusations she’s used state institutions to stamp out dissent and stifle the media.

Unemployment in the country has become more acute since the pandemic, especially among young people, with the private sector struggling to expand.

She actually fled like a coward lmaoooo

Ill never forget how Hasina was praised by Western governments and feminists despite her being a corrupt despot.

I hope Bangladesh becomes sensible I hope secularists and islamists dont go at each other. I hope they weed out every extremist or radical regardless of their political views or ideology.

Just please avoid any kind of civil war bullshit. Its not worth it.

Bangladeshi youth (gen Z) has proven that it had the courage and strength to stand against pure evil. Police and BAL thugs were shooting to kill indiscriminately against our students and peoples. Killing hundreds, (thosuand?) but they stood their ground. They knew the cost of freedom and they paid in full blood.

The most defining thing about this revolutionary protest is that it was led by students and won by students. Hassina regime always looked so strong and unbeatable. They jailed and killed all their opposition to extinction. So much so that main opposition couldn't even effectively organize any meaningful portest for years. People would disappear in the middle of the night or arrested for posting on internet. There was no political freedom or freedom of speech. And Hassina's thugs will almost always get away with anything. It was full tyranny. Nobody even knew the organizers of this protest before. They are young students (25-27 age) with no previous traditional political background. Yet they achieved what many seasoned leaders in the politics couldn't. They toppled the evil regime.

Unlike other countries, Student's protest has a different meaning in Bangladesh.
For you guys who don't know, in 1971 liberation war Pakistan army's very first operation was at Dhaka university, killing hundreds of students and teachers. They knew who were the biggest challenge to them. You can beat down any other opposition or political party in Bangladesh. But you can't win against our students. Dictator Ershad couldn't, neither did evil Hassina.

And one thing is important to note, our army is civilized enough not to do mass shooting at our own people. Ershad told them to shoot the students in 1990, they refused. Hassina definitely wanted them also this time, but they didn't. I guess you can't say that about many other Muslims countries. We saw how it is in Egypt Pakistan or gulf countries. God forbid if our army was anything like that, today you would have heard news of large scale massacre by now.

It would be ungrateful of me not to talk about our girls. They were fierce and equally brave, they stood shoulder to shoulder with their fellow classmates. BD has never witness such higher degree of women participation in nation protest.

For the first time in my life I am hopeful for my country's future. It is an incredible feeling. Not enough words to express it. All my life I only knew tyranny and mass corruption. But this time I am hopeful. This time we will build a democratic and free country. Like it was supposed to be.

At lower level many of them likely didn't get the chance to leave. However Hassina and her cabinet, many of the illegal MPs has fled.

Alright, now we are in little bit trouble. Fucking commissioner left his car inside our apartment's building garage before he fled. (He was well known thug) and now hundreds of people has gathered with large sticks and hammers to break his car.

Unfortunately there is no police tonight, I am not sure if BGB could send in forces. My mother is getting scared.

Stay safe! But more importantly (ok I'm joking), why didn't the army crush the protests? Don't they have any control over SOEs in disguise or something?

Because over 1 million people were marching inside capital tpday. Only way to stop them was to use heavy firepower. Which army refused to do, obviously.



Nope. And in the end people from all background joined the students in waves. Bangladesh is a huge country.
He is asking because in most muslim countries(Pakistan and most if not all Arab countries) this is the way to go.
The exception is my country and now yours too.
