Breaking News: Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Resigns Amid Protests

Protesters Force Out Long-Serving Leader

After weeks of anti-government demonstrations, Bangladesh's Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has resigned and fled the country.

The veteran leader, who had served as prime minister for over a decade, faced mounting pressure from protesters demanding her resignation. A convoy of vehicles carrying Hasina was surrounded by demonstrators as she attempted to leave her official residence in Dhaka.

Hasina's resignation marks a significant moment in Bangladesh's history. She was the first woman to serve as prime minister and the longest-serving leader in the country's history. However, her tenure was marred by accusations of corruption and authoritarianism.

The protests against Hasina began several weeks ago over her government's handling of the economy and allegations of electoral fraud. The demonstrations intensified in recent days, with protesters demanding her immediate resignation.

An interim government is expected to be formed to oversee the country's transition. The political future of Bangladesh is now uncertain, as the resignation of Hasina leaves a power vacuum.
