Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus, the newly appointed interim leader of Bangladesh, paid tribute to the country’s fallen independence heroes on Friday. Yunus, who returned to Bangladesh after violent protests ousted former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, is tasked with restoring order and guiding the nation back to democracy. In a ceremony with student and civil society leaders, Yunus laid a wreath at a memorial for those who died in the 1971 liberation war. He emphasized the need for unity and peace after weeks of unrest that claimed 455 lives. Elections are expected in the coming months.
