A month after Bangladesh's prime minister, Sheikh Hasina, was ousted in a student-led movement, the country is still recovering from the violence and chaos. The interim government led by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus has declared its priorities to restore peace, fight corruption, and prepare for new elections. Despite progress, unrest persists, with garment workers demanding better wages and lingering anger against Hasina and her Awami League. The biggest question is when new elections will be held, with experts warning that the interim government's support among the youth may be short-lived if security and economic issues are not addressed.
