After Sheikh Hasina resigned and fled Bangladesh, General Waker-Uz-Zaman, the Chief of Army Staff, announced he would form an interim government. The 76-year-old Hasina left her residence as protesters stormed it. General Zaman, a career infantry officer with nearly 40 years of service, addressed the nation on state TV, urging an end to the violence. He has served in various key military roles and holds advanced degrees in Defence Studies. His leadership aims to stabilize the country after violent protests over a controversial quota system left nearly 300 people dead.
