Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Resigns

Army to Oversee Formation of Interim Government

Thousands of Protesters Defy Curfew

Dhaka, Bangladesh - Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina resigned on Monday, ending 15 years in power as thousands of protesters defied a curfew and clashed with police in the capital, Dhaka.

The army has been deployed to restore order and will oversee the formation of an interim government. It was not immediately clear who would lead the interim government or how long it would remain in place.

The protests began last month over rising food prices and corruption. They have since spread to other cities and towns, and have become increasingly violent. On Monday, at least 10 people were killed in clashes with police.

Hasina's resignation is a major development in Bangladeshi politics. She has been in power since 2009, and is the country's longest-serving prime minister. Her resignation is likely to lead to a period of uncertainty and instability in Bangladesh.

The army has said that it will remain neutral in the political process, and will work to ensure a peaceful transition of power. However, it is unclear how long the army will remain in charge, and whether it will be able to restore order and stability to Bangladesh.

The protests in Bangladesh are a reminder of the challenges facing many developing countries. Rising food prices, corruption, and a lack of opportunity have led to widespread discontent in many parts of the world. The events in Bangladesh are a warning that these challenges can lead to instability and violence.
