Muhammad Yunus Heads To Dhaka To Take Charge of Bangladesh's New Government

Nobel Peace Prize winner Muhammad Yunus, 84, is returning to Bangladesh to lead a caretaker government after a student-led uprising ended Sheikh Hasina's 15-year rule. He could be sworn in as the new leader by Thursday evening, initiating what the army chief calls a "beautiful democratic process." Meanwhile, Tarique Rahman, the exiled acting chairman of the main opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), is calling for immediate elections. The student protests, which began on July 1, forced Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to flee to New Delhi. These events have severely impacted Bangladesh's economy, with losses estimated in the billions. Businesses now face uncertainty as Yunus steps in to guide the interim government in Dhaka.
