Morning Shot: Who is Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus, newly appointed head of Bangladesh's interim government? What's next?

View descriptionShare

Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus has taken oath as head of Bangladesh’s interim government after Sheikh Hasina resigned as prime minister and fled to neighbouring India following weeks of deadly protests.

The student-led movement started with demonstrations against quotas in government jobs before spiralling into violent protests to oust Hasina. About 300 people died and thousands were injured during those protests.

On this episode of Morning Shot, Dr Amit Ranjan, Research Fellow from the Institute of South Asian Studies at NUS shares his insights on what’s next for Bangladesh, and further implications the latest developments have on the country and the region.
