Notably, on August 5, the former Prime Minister of Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina, was ousted from her country and power, ending her rule since January 2009. This event was seen as a massive escalation, with what initially started as student protests and resulted in a major crisis in Bangladesh.
An interim government was formed, led by economist Muhammad Yunus. However, the crisis also resulted in significant human suffering.
