1. Which country is currently facing a major political crisis following the resignation of its prime minister Sheikh Hasina?
Bangladesh is experiencing a significant political crisis after Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina resigned and left the country amid widespread protests against her regime. The protests, initially sparked by controversy over a job quota order, expanded into larger demands for her removal from office. The crisis has led to an interim government taking over and the army urging citizens to trust them during this transitional period. The unrest reflects deep-seated dissatisfaction with Hasina's 15-year rule, which the opposition describes as authoritarian.
