The recent political turmoil in Bangladesh has led to significant developments, with economist and civil society leader Muhammad Yunus being appointed as the head of the country’s interim government. Yunus is set to take on the role of chief advisor to a non-partisan government, following the resignation and departure of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
Hasina’s resignation comes after weeks of violent protests against her government, forcing her to flee the country. In response to the unrest in Bangladesh, India has evacuated all non-essential staff and their families from its diplomatic missions in the neighboring country. Despite the evacuation, Indian diplomats remain in Bangladesh to continue their duties.
The appointment of Yunus as the head of the interim government reflects a significant shift in Bangladesh’s political landscape. As a respected figure in both economic and civil society circles, Yunus’ leadership is likely to bring about changes and stability during this tumultuous period.
The situation in Bangladesh is closely monitored by international observers, as the country navigates through this political transition. With Yunus at the helm, there is hope for a peaceful and inclusive transition of power in Bangladesh.
