Nobel Peace Prize winning economist Muhammad Yunus was sworn in as the head of Bangladesh’s caretaker government on Thursday (Aug 8). This came three days after Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was forced to resign and flee the country following violent protests. Ali Riaz, Distinguished Professor of Politics and Government at Illinois State University, tells CNA’s Asia First about the challenges the new government faces. He also says it can “definitely” lead the country out of the crisis, at least till the next general election.

Dr Yunus and the Students maybe great but they have no experience in running a country. Other politicial parties like BNP and Jamaat who have quite substantial power would start exercising thier controls and situation could turn into worse

Good that BANGLADESH got rid of HASINA. Now high hopes from Mohammad YOUNUS. Good that it is not military government. Still there is an intact civil government. THE president remains there----- so it is still civilian government. Hope,wish and pray that Mohammad Younus is successful and turns out to be honest patriot.
