Nobel Peace Prize winner Muhammad Yunus has been appointed to lead Bangladesh’s interim government after the resignation of longtime Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who fled the country amid violent unrest. Yunus, an 84-year-old economist and microcredit pioneer, is widely respected for his efforts to lift millions out of poverty through Grameen Bank. His appointment followed demands from student protest leaders, marking a significant shift in Bangladesh’s political landscape. As the nation faces a political crisis, Yunus is tasked with restoring order and guiding the country towards free and fair elections.
