Bangladesh PM Hasina Resigns After Deadly Protests, Reports Say.

Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has reportedly resigned and left the country with her sister as anti-government protests escalated in the capital. The 76-year-old leader faced pressure to step down following weeks of demonstrations that turned violent. Protesters stormed her official residence, and clashes between pro-government supporters and opposition groups resulted in over 100 deaths. The unrest has had a significant impact on the economy, with curfews and internet blackouts causing a $10 billion hit and affecting the garment sector. While Hasina has been credited with economic growth and poverty reduction, critics accuse her of authoritarianism and suppressing dissent. [Extracted from the article]
