In August 2024, weeks of deadly student-led protests forced a long-serving prime minister to flee by helicopter to India, ending her 15-year rule.
Bangladesh's leader was ousted this way. Sheikh Hasina resigned as Bangladesh's prime minister and fled by helicopter to India on August 5, 2024, after weeks of deadly student-led protests against her 15-year rule turned increasingly violent, ending her long grip on power.
Pakistan and Myanmar have each faced their own serious political turmoil in recent years, but neither matches this specific chain of events: a helicopter escape to India after student protests, followed by a Nobel laureate stepping in to lead.
Nobel Peace Prize laureate Muhammad Yunus, known worldwide for pioneering microfinance lending to help the poor, was sworn in days later to lead an interim government tasked with steering Bangladesh toward new elections.
