Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has resigned and left the country, according to local media reports. It followed renewed protests on August 4, 2024 that left nearly 100 people dead and hundreds more injured. Demonstrators demanded Hasina's resignation after controversial quotas for civil service jobs were reinstated in June. Hasina had offered to talk to the student leaders. The country’s army chief said that it would form an interim government, but it’s not clear who will head it.
