In Bangladesh, interim leader Muhammad Yunus has appealed for unity amid ongoing turmoil and religious tensions as Bangladesh transitions to a new government after the student-led ouster of longtime Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Yunus, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, met with and embraced the weeping mother of Abu Sayed, the first student to have been killed in the unrest last month.
On Saturday, Bangladesh’s chief justice and central bank governor resigned as protesters encircled the Supreme Court. Students are now focused on unseating officials they say abetted Sheikh Hasina’s repressive rule.
