AFP reporters on the scene described the barriers being torn down by the massive crowds. The resignation marks a significant turning point for Bangladesh, which has seen escalating unrest in recent weeks. The situation in Dhaka remains tense as the country anticipates the next steps in its political transition. Sheikh Hasina Resigns As Bangladesh PM, Leaves for ‘Safer Place’: Reports.
