Sheikh Hasina resignation

Negotiations are currently taking place between protest leaders and the military in Bangladesh following the dramatic resignation and flight of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. The Prime Minister fled to India after massive protests turned violent, resulting in the deaths of more than 100 people.

The unrest reached a peak on Monday when huge crowds stormed Hasina's official residence in Dhaka. The capital saw widespread looting and disorder as demonstrators expressed their fury against what they call a "mafia state" created under Hasina's 15-year rule.
