Bangladesh in dramatic power transition, Yunus to lead interim govt

This is so shocking. The dramatic political seizures of the South Asian country Bangladesh might witness a new interim government official sworn in on Thursday evening, headed by the Nobel laureate Dr. Muhammad Yunus. This development came at the time of the resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who was under mass protest against her government, only to flee the country.

Army Chief General Waker-Uz-Zaman shed light on the fact that the prime minister-designate, along with the interim government consisting of 14 members, has the 84-year-old Yunus in its head, and it is thought that the new government will be sworn in at 8:00 pm.

Yunus, who is credited for revolutionizing microbanking and combating poverty, is due in Dhaka by Thursday afternoon from Paris with metallic contingents of French Special Forces.

In the statement, Yunus urged people to ignore running to the streets and rioting and asked to make the best out of this ‘new victory’. Concerning the newly obtained ‘victory,’ Previously expelled Prime Minister Khaleda Zia also requested people to set up ‘love and peace’ for the nation’s reconstruction against ‘anger’ or ‘revenge’.

This smallest unrest began with anti-quad protests and later became a movement against Hasina’s Awami League government. Hasina lives in India now, and her attempts to get asylum elsewhere have been stymied.

In this crucial transition, the interim government under Yunus’s leadership is in a difficult position to rebuild the structure. At the same time, the elected government is making the political, social, and economic environment more conducive to smoothly implementing democracy.
