PM Sheikh Hasina resigns and leaves Bangladesh, ending 15 years in power

Quick Summary:

DHAKA, Bangladesh—Bangladesh’s Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina resigned on Monday, ending 15 years in power as thousands of protesters defied a military curfew and stormed her official residence.

On Sunday, nearly 100 people were killed as the protesters clashed with security officials and the ruling party activists across the country.

The government’s attempts to quell the demonstrations with force, curfews and internet shutdowns backfired, prompting further outrage as nearly 300 people were killed and leading to demands for an end to her 15 years in power.
