Bangladesh’s Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has resigned and fled the country following weeks of deadly demonstrations.
The removal of Hasina on Monday followed weeks of deadly protests and appears to have averted the threat of further bloodshed. The focus now moves to who will control the South Asian country.
In an address to the nation, army chief General Waker-Uz-Zaman announced that an interim government will now run Bangladesh and called for calm.
Hasina, who ruled the country for close to two decades, boarded a military helicopter on Monday, an aide told Al Jazeera, as huge crowds ignored a national curfew to storm her palace in Dhaka.
Her resignation came after 300 people died in weeks of protest that the authorities sought to crush. A night of deadly violence on Sunday killed close to 100 and a curfew was called.
Al Jazeera’s Charles Stratford reports.

Bangladesh
সব সময় বাংলাদেশ কে বিশ্বের কাছে তুলে ধরার জন্য আল জাজিরা’র প্রতি আমরা আন্তরিক কৃতজ্ঞতা প্রকাশ করছি
Anything that comes after this that is not an Islamic “revolution” will be considered a win by me lol.
Now let’s hope Bangladesh not fall into military rule
Hasina was never a good person. Every time he came to power, he used to torture the religious people of this country. He always active in implementing India’s agenda which was never taken well by the common people. After all, the dictatorship was formed by electing three frauds without votes. As a result of which the people ensured his downfall today.
Nane nane kenya 🇰🇪 we’ll emulate our Bangladesh brothers and sisters.✊✊✊
Don’t trust the Army! We have seen this movie before during the Arab spring.
But army are the ones killing it’s people

BANGLADESH IS FREE !! BUT COME TO DEVELOPMENTS!! LEAVE ALL ANTI NATIONAL ACTIVISM !! ISLAM STARTED EDUCATION! THIS WORLD IS FOR TESTING!! DO NOT HATE, DO NOT FIGHT!! HOW JAPAN IS DEVELOPED COUNTRY !! HOPE FOR BEST !! GOOD LUCK FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS..
the people didn’t object her rule even when everybody knew how much of a corrupt government she managed but all those corruption has made her a arrogant tyrant. people didn’t object when prices of day to day commodity were high due to a 3rd party meddling, people didn’t object when her corrupted officials and politicians were involved in massive money laundering, people didn’t object when she wrongfully jailed opposition political leader or anybody who would talk against her but people couldn’t take it anymore when police open fired on students who were peacefully protesting about quota system in job and education sector. many students and many bystanders gave their lives. it in this moment people said NO MORE. the dictator has to go down. in her final moment as a PM she promised to abolish quota and universal pension skim but it was already too late because too many innocent blood was on her hand. she paid the ultimate prize for killing innocent students who were only protesting for anti quota system. we didn’t forget about murder of Abrar Fahad who was a victim of student politics.
Do they want to go back to being East Pakistan
I don’t know why u guys still saying 300 were killed, in reality least 2000 students and civilians were killed
You Bangladeshi proved that you are a part from Pakistan 😂.
Another thing, what was the cause to vandalise Hindu Temples? There are fews who has dirty blood and radicalism in their veins and they cannot bare peace.

They have killed over 900 in the last 5 days. They intentionally killed students including under 17 female students. Police abducted my sister from home at midnight, she was 17 years old, a high school graduating student. We discovered her dead body in a mass grave after PM left the country. They conducted political mass killings. Indian RAW is involved. last night RAW killed over 300! India RAW was hired by Hasina to perform sharp shooting targeted persons according to their list. RAW always shoots on the eyes or forehead. We found many dead bodies in mass graves most students were headshots.
Hey man, I am a US Army veteran and Bangladeshi in origin. I fricking lost 5 relatives. One of my cousins is still fighting to survive. Two more cousins, student leaders under 17 had been abducted by bd police 5 days ago. Police are saying they don’t have any information. we found one student dead body who was abducted on the same night by the same police unit. We are not sure about our missing ! My heart saying they are still alive! Pls, keep us in your prayers.
Congratulations Bangladesh ❤
As a Venezuelan this feels soooo familiar. Congratulations to the people of Bangladesh for standing by your rights and defending your country.
Venezuela next 🇻🇪🇻🇪🇻🇪🇻🇪🇻🇪🇻🇪
The best option is to call an immediate election and hand over authority whoever the people chooses

Congratulations student of bangladesh , one poster i saw was “ Mother land or Death “ ❤️ Bravery at its pick
“Don’t underestimate students’ power. Don’t do unjust to your nation or anyone. Don’t be a dic*tator over your country. Don’t tor*ture.” Learn it from Sheikh Haisna whose government thought their power would never be lost.
I’m happy for Bangladesh finally it’s free from dictatorship
They follows Sri lanka 🇱🇰 rules
congratulations to Bangladeshi brother now they make new Bangladesh in accordance with their choice
Bangladesh Zindabad , , , 🥰🥰💚💚👍👍

Now they are under army rule just like pakistan, they will never have a truly democratic government now, they will cry just like pakistan with no growth and only corruption, anarchy breeds anarchy, their celebration will turn sour soon.
The Second story of Burna 2 Army chief will rule
Independence day 2.0 for Bangladesh❤
Alhamdulillah.
English in the media has become so feeble that people can say with a straight face that “demonstrations killed xx people”
Next pakistan .?
Congratulations young leaders of Bangladesh from the bottom of my heart.
ALLAH IS THE GREATEST ☝🏼
The army had nothing to do with the killings, rather they stopped the police from shooting the students and general public from start to end. Moreover, they are the ones who, at the last stages of the pushdown, helped the students grasp their victory.
Alhamdulillah
Now military will take power same as Pakistan
That’s my Aunt Irene! I’m glad she’s optimistic about the future of Bangladesh
Bangladesh army uniform, looks like Kids Uniform.
Hindus are being targeted and murdered
Remember this comment…. Bangladesh shall surely regret….it won’t be well with them….
The patern of changing regime of a country that Washington dislikes is the same. Start with demonstration, followed by changing a regime and parliament before ending It with a new direct investment law that allows the US to rob for free.
People shoudent trust them a army’s people should control country.
Go Bangladesh go, go Bangladesh go go no more hassania wajed, no more dictators, but don’t trust the military regime, may ALLAH help you, much LOVE brothers and sisters , greetings from Morocco 🇲🇦 👍🇧🇩🇵🇸
Go to the main cause. The anger of all BD people is that We could not cast our vote for the last 15 years (3 times). India has destroyed our democracy. Indian journalist & govt. gave blank cheque to Awami leage but not with the people of Bangladesh.
We are free, it’s a students power.
Sooner or later Bangladesh will become radical jamati/ Saudi wahabi country like Pakistan .
these dumb bangladeshis think they are independent but soon will be under army control and then with no stable govt. all will die of hunger and poverty
People are power❤❤❤❤
Why Army, Why not Supreme Court
LOVE FROM PAKISTAN, I REUEST BANGLADESH STUDENTS TO ALSO LIBERSTE PAKIATAN FROM EXTEMELY FACIST DEEP STATE (MADE BY US, UK, NATI WITH US DOLLARS) CRIMINALLY AND CORRUPT ARMY, ZARDARI, NAWAZ, RELIGIOUS EXTREMISTS TERRORISTS CONTROLLED BY ARMY TTP, TLP, FAZLU, AFGHAN TALIBAN, LASHKAR E TAIBA, LSHKAR E JHANGVI

wahabi salafi is a political movement and it is an army militia wearing civilian clothes
Now we just to take back Pakistan and reinstate Imran Khan back in power after he was overthrown by the CIA.
Cancer Cancer
The world can be inspired by this revolution ❤
There was a Palestinian flag in the thumbnail picture, someone edited that out, and now the edited version without the Palestinian picture is everywhere
According to the data, the total number of minority religion people killed in Islamic Bangladesh since 1971 is a staggering 200,804 to 3,008,000! And yet, you’ve got people in Western countries goin’ on and on about ‘Palestine, Palestine’! It’s a cryin’ shame, folks! I mean, what about the poor folks in Bangladesh, huh? Don’t they deserve some attention? It’s like, we’re talkin’ about a huge human rights issue here, and nobody’s payin’ attention!
Like how USA doing with rusia throgh Ukraine and other west contries, USA is making india hostile. In the west they fund pak. Now in the east they fund Bangladesh and Myanmar militants. They topple leaders who doesn’t listen to them (like Hasina , Imran, Rajepaksa etc). USA want military base in Bangladesh and create new christians contries using kuki tribals from manipur, Bangladesh and Mayanmar. USA wants to make india weak economy (they dont want one more contries like economically prospering China keep. They already have Rusia as military competitors. Make my word there will be huge internal protest in india in future. I think USA is our main enemy as they are doing proxy against india to slow down our economy and then china who wants to capture our land. To remain as supper power, USA distroyed Middle east, some portion of europe next they will distroy sourthen asian region.
Bangladesh now turns in Pakistan!
