In a dramatic escalation of unrest in Bangladesh, thousands of protesters defied a curfew and stormed Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s official residence in Dhaka following reports of her resignation and departure from the country.
The surge of violence and public anger marks one of the most severe crises in Bangladesh’s recent history.
Storming the Palace, Jubilant crowds, who had been gathering in defiance of the curfew, broke through the gates of Sheikh Hasina’s residence early Monday morning.
The scenes of protesters waving flags and celebrating in the streets starkly contrasted with the government’s attempts to control the situation.
Despite barricades and barbed wire set up by soldiers and police, vast numbers of demonstrators flooded the streets, tearing down barriers and overwhelming security measures.The protesters' ire was further demonstrated by the vandalism of a statue of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the father of Sheikh Hasina and former President of Bangladesh.
This act of desecration added to the day's chaos, reflecting the deep-seated anger towards the government.
Bangladesh’s interim leader Muhammad Yunus has announced that national elections will be held in April 2026, following sustained domestic unrest and international pressure. The move comes after the dramatic ousting of long-time Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina last year, sparking political uncertainty and protests. As Bangladesh navigates its volatile transition, Yunus said the Election Commission will soon unveil a detailed roadmap. The announcement marks a crucial turning point in the country’s democratic journey and raises questions about stability, legitimacy, and the future political landscape.

Former Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has officially been charged with crimes against humanity for her alleged role in the brutal crackdown on student protesters during the 2024 uprising. Prosecutors accuse Hasina of directly ordering state security forces to carry out coordinated attacks that left over 1,500 dead and 25,000 injured. With 81 witnesses and encrypted communications cited as evidence, the charges mark a dramatic turn in Bangladesh’s political history. Hasina resigned in August and fled to India amid mass protests.
