Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus is set to lead Bangladesh's interim government following the resignation and flight of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina amidst violent student-led protests over government job quotas. Yunus, known for his work in microcredit and poverty alleviation, was chosen by student leaders and has called for peace and non-violence as he prepares to be sworn in. The protests, which led to at least 455 deaths and thousands of injuries, reflect widespread dissatisfaction with Hasina's 15-year rule despite her infrastructural and economic contributions. The interim government, which will include an advisory council, aims to restore law and order, revive the economy, and prepare for free and fair elections. Concerns remain about the influence of various factions, including the military and Islamist groups, on the new administration.
