Bangladeshi Student Protesters Consider Forming New Political Party

After ousting Prime Minister Hasina, young leaders aim to break the political duopoly and implement structural reforms.

  • Student demonstrators reject calls for quick elections from main political parties.
  • Protests were sparked by a law reserving government jobs for certain segments of the population.
  • The interim government, led by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus, includes two student leaders.
  • At least 300 people were killed in the protests, the largest violence since the 1971 independence war.
  • Student leaders emphasize the need for broad political reforms to prevent a return to authoritarian rule.
