Muhammad Yunus Leads Bangladesh’s Interim Government Amid Political Upheaval

The Nobel laureate takes charge after Sheikh Hasina's resignation, aiming to restore stability and address economic disparities.

  • Yunus, an economist known for pioneering microfinance, was sworn in following weeks of violent protests against Hasina's rule.
  • The protests, initially driven by student discontent over job quotas, escalated into a broader movement against corruption and inequality.
  • Yunus faces the challenge of re-establishing law and order, ensuring fair elections, and addressing economic grievances.
  • The international community, including India and the US, has expressed support for Yunus's interim leadership.
  • Hasina's departure has left a vacuum, with her son pledging the Awami League's continued involvement in politics.
