STONIX News reports that the prime minister of Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina, on Monday, resigned after weeks of deadly anti-government demonstrations gripped the South Asian nation.
According to CNN, the announcement from Army Chief Waker-uz-Zaman came after protesters stormed the official residence of the prime minister in the capital, Dhaka.
Viral images of the protest showed flames billowing from vehicles near Hasina’s house, with police unable to contain throngs of people charging towards the neighborhood.
According to a CNN fixer working in Dhaka, earlier in the day, the military and police had attacked demonstrators rallying in the area.
At least 91 people have been killed in Bangladesh since mid-July, according to a source, during violent confrontations between police and protesters demanding the scrapping of quotas for government jobs.
