Sheikh Hasina resigns amid deadly protests in Bangladesh

Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has resigned and fled the country amid ongoing protests that have resulted in at least 300 deaths since July. Military chief Waker-Uz-Zaman confirmed her departure to a "place of safety." Protests, initially sparked by a student movement against job quotas, escalated into broader discontent over the economy and governance. An interim government is set to take over following her resignation.
