Bangladesh has been engulfed in a wave of deadly protests, leading to the resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and the announcement of an interim government led by the army.
The protests, sparked by a government crackdown that killed at least 300 people, saw thousands demanding Hasina's resignation in Dhaka, wielding sticks and facing police brutality. The unrest, marked by clashes between protesters, police, and ruling party activists, has resulted in nearly 100 deaths and hundreds of injuries over a single weekend. In defiance of a government-imposed curfew, protesters are planning a mass march to the capital, despite the temporary shutdown of broadband and mobile data services.
The situation has escalated to the point where India has issued a travel advisory, highlighting the growing unrest in the region.
