Muhammad Yunus, now the interim leader of Bangladesh, faces the formidable task of rebuilding the nation following the ousting of Sheikh Hasina’s regime. With inflation on the rise, delays in critical reforms, and ongoing issues with law and order, Yunus must manoeuvre through a challenging political landscape. The Awami League, under Hasina’s leadership, remains a significant force, regrouping and resisting the reform agenda.
Yunus’s government has established commissions to address reforms in various sectors, including the electoral system, rule of law, and public administration. However, progress is hampered by the absence of a clear election date and persistent corruption within the civil service. The interim government must tackle these challenges while ensuring the protection of human rights and media freedom.
