Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina resigned and left the country on Monday amid deadly protests that have claimed over 106 lives, according to local media reports. Thousands of protesters stormed her official residence, Ganabhaban, in Dhaka. Reports indicate that Hasina and her sister, Sheikh Rehana, were flown to a “safe shelter” in India via a military helicopter. Her exact whereabouts remain unconfirmed. Bangladesh’s army chief General Waker-Uz-Zaman is expected to address the nation and has been holding discussions with leaders from various political parties and other stakeholders.
