Sheikh Hasina, Bangladesh’s longest serving prime minister, has been ousted. Meanwhile the economy hangs by a thread, even as various political factions wait in the wings to fill the power vacuum.
In July and August, massive student protests over job quotas have toppled the increasing authoritarian Awami League government. As Bangladesh reels from the upheaval, an interim administration, led by Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus, has been installed. But the caretaker government will have its hands full solving the problems left by Hasina’s ouster, as it promises free and fair elections. Driven to the brink of chaos, can Bangladesh bounce back?
