Bangladesh's military was in control of the country on Tuesday after mass protests forced longtime ruler Sheikh Hasina to resign and flee.
Bangladesh army chief General Waker-Uz-Zaman announced Monday afternoon on state television that Hasina had resigned and the military would form a caretaker government. But there were also scenes of chaos and anger, with police reporting at least 66 people killed on Monday as mobs launched revenge attacks on Hasina's allies.
“The time has come to make them accountable for torture,“ said protester Kaza Ahmed. “Sheikh Hasina is responsible for murder.”The unrest began last month in the form of protests against civil service job quotas and then escalated into wider calls for Hasina to stand down.
