Protesters stormed the Bangladesh consulate in New York, removing the portrait of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the nation's founder. This act coincides with violent uprisings in Bangladesh, where job quota protests escalated, leading to at least 100 deaths. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, Rahman's daughter, resigned and fled to India. The unrest has seen widespread vandalism, including the defacement of Rahman's statue. Bangladesh awaits a new government, with student leaders calling for Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus to head an interim administration.
