Overview

• Muhammad Yunus, Bangladesh's interim government chief, has expressed intentions to resign due to political gridlock and an inability to secure unified support from parties.
• Army Chief General Waker-Uz-Zaman has demanded national elections by December, rejecting Yunus's delays and opposing the proposed Rohingya humanitarian corridor.
• The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) has staged protests, demanding a clear election timeline and threatening to withdraw support if their demands are not met.
• Tensions have escalated between Yunus and the military, fueled by the release of convicted mutineers and Islamist radicals, which the army views as undermining national security.
• Reports suggest Yunus is considering a July constitutional proclamation, raising concerns about potential overreach and further deepening the governance crisis.
