Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus has arrived in Bangladesh to assume the role of interim leader following Sheikh Hasina's resignation and flight to India amid escalating protests. Yunus, 84, was chosen by student leaders and endorsed by the military after weeks of unrest that left over 400 dead. Addressing the nation upon arrival, Yunus called for "discipline" and "hard work" as Bangladesh begins its recovery from years of autocratic rule. The microfinance pioneer, who faced persecution under Hasina’s government, emphasized the importance of youth involvement in rebuilding the nation, promising a renewed focus on democracy and law and order.
