La premier de Bangladesh renuncia tras protestas letales

By Jordi Bou

August 5, 2024 - La primera ministra Sheikh Hasina ha renunciado y huido del país luego de algunos de los peores episodios de violencia vistos desde el nacimiento de la nación del sur de Asia hace más de cinco décadas.

In a briefing to reporters, Army Chief General Waker-Uz-Zaman has announced that he is assuming control at what he called “a critical time for our country” and will establish an interim government.

Bangladesh has been engulfed by protests and violence after student protests last month against reservation quotas in government jobs escalated into a campaign for the ouster of Hasina, who won a fourth straight term in January in an election boycotted by the opposition.

At least 91 people were killed on Aug 4 in clashes between police and protesters, taking the death toll in recent weeks to more than 300.
