Sheikh Hasina’s reported departure comes as fresh wave of violent protests erupts across country
The prime minister of Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina, has resigned and left the country, the head of the army has confirmed, amid some of the worst violence since the birth of the south Asian nation more than 50 years ago.
In a briefing to reporters, Army Chief General Waker-Uz-Zaman has announced that he is assuming control at what he called “a critical time for our country” and will establish an interim government.
