Bangladesh PM flees in helicopter after mass protests

The prime minister of Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina, has resigned and left the country amid some of the worst violence since the birth of the south Asian country more than 50 years ago.

The country's army chief, Waker-Uz-Zaman, announced he was assuming control at 'a critical time for our country' and would establish an interim government. Hasina, who has ruled Bangladesh since 2009, fled by helicopter shortly after protesters had stormed her residence in the capital, Dhaka.

The protests began over a quota system that was said to disproportionately allocate government jobs to the descendants of freedom fighters from the 1971 independence war. The government’s harsh crackdown on the protests has led to hundreds of deaths, which continued despite the supreme court overturning the quota law. Agence France-Presse reported that there had been 94 deaths on Sunday.

Why does every article and video call her PM but you guys try so hard to make sure you call other leaders "dictator"? She been in power since 2009 seem like a dictator to me.

Students started something they donot have control over anymore. The 2nd independence will be short lived. In south asia, the society as a whole is corrupted. Changing politicians is not gonna help

If the PM resigns, doesn't the deputy PM take over until the president can appoint a new PM? If a general is taking over, it's usually bad news.
