Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has stepped down after weeks of violent anti-government protests, ending more than 2 decades in power. Reports say Hasina has left the country and landed overnight in India. In celebration of the 76yo’s resignation, crowds ignored a national curfew to take to the streets and reports say vandals and looters invaded the Prime Ministerial palace in Dhaka. The protests began on 1 July as a student movement against civil service job quotas, and they turned deadly when 6 students were killed in clashes with police. Army chief Waker-Uz-Zaman said the military would speak with Bangladeshi President Mohammed Shahabuddin about putting in place an interim government, and he’s called for calm. “The country has suffered a lot, the economy has been hit, many people have been killed. It is time to stop the violence”, he said.
