The victory of Bangladesh’s student movement should not surprise anyone
It seemed the students toppled Hasina’s government in five short weeks, but this revolution was 15 years in the making.Jennifer Chowdhury (Al Jazeera)
Acc/to local media reports, #Hasina escaped her residence mins before it was stormed by protesters. She left for India & was accompanied by her younger sister Sheikh Rehana on the helicopter….
TV footage showed thousands of angry protesters storming the PM’s home, some climbing atop a statue of the country’s founding president, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman—who is also Hasina’s father.
Others recorded videos of themselves inside what appeared to be Hasina’s living room.
“Please trust the armed forces. I am taking full responsibility to protect all lives & property,” Waker-Uz-Zaman said in the address, in which he called for an end to the violence & promised a full investigation.
“I assure you that you will not be disappointed,” #Zaman said, adding, “Every single death will be investigated, every atrocity will be discussed.”
#Hasina’s resignation was officially announced in a televised address by the army chief, Gen. Waker-Uz-Zaman. An interim government will be formed in the coming days, he said. Thousands of protesters had flooded Hasina’s official residence earlier in the day, calling for her ouster. Weeks of bloody clashes between protesters & Hasina’s security forces intensified this past weekend, w/dozens killed on Sunday.
#Bangladesh PM #SheikhHasina resigned & fled the country Monday as protesters stormed her residence & set fire to government offices, marking an end to a 15-yr rule that had faced violent opposition in recent months.
Hasina’s resignation, announced by Gen. Waker-Uz-Zaman, comes after hundreds have been killed in clashes between protesters & security forces in recent weeks.

Local media also broadcast footage of protesters breaking into Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan’s residence & setting fire to the ruling #AwamiLeague [#AL] party’s office in the capital.
Students have been calling for #Hasina’s resignation & for an end to a govt policy that reserves ½ of govt jobs for certain groups, including family members of those who fought in the country’s 1971 war for independence against Pakistan.
