Bangladesh is set to have an interim government led by Nobel Peace Prize winner Muhammad Yunus, following the resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina amid intense student protests. Yunus, who has been receiving medical treatment in Paris, is expected to be sworn in today. Known for his work with microloans, Yunus will lead the interim government formed after Hasina fled to India. The protests, driven by dissatisfaction with job quotas and economic hardships, led to over 250 deaths. Yunus, whose earlier conviction was recently overturned, aims to stabilize the situation.
