Bangladesh Army Chief announces interim government after PM Sheikh Hasina resigns amid quotas protests.

Bangladesh Army Chief General Waker-uz-Zaman announced an interim government after Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina resigned amid widespread protests over quotas for the kin of freedom fighters in government jobs. This is not the first military intervention in Bangladesh's politics; the country was under military rule from 1975 to 1990, experiencing several coups. Since 1990, Bangladesh's political scene has been dominated by the Bangladesh Awami League and the Bangladesh Nationalist Party.
