Bangladesh protesters celebrate Hasina's exit by Tahsin Ahmed
Bangladesh Fascist Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has stepped down from office, ending 15 years of what the opposition says was authoritarian rule and sparking celebrations across the country.
General Waker-uz-Zaman, the chief of army staff, said in a statement on Monday that an interim government will take over with immediate effect and asked citizens to keep their trust in the army.
Large crowds of protesters out in the street in scenes of jubilation as the news of the departure of Hasina started spreading. Close to 439 people have died amid 36 days of protest the authorities have sought to crush.
