STORYLINE:
Protesters in Dhaka have destroyed a large statue of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, Bangladesh’s founding leader and father of Sheikh Hasina, who resigned as prime minister and fled the country on Monday.
Her departure followed weeks of protests against a quota system for government jobs that descended into violence and grew into a broader challenge to her 15-year rule.
Thousands of demonstrators stormed her official residence and other buildings associated with her party and family.
Her resignation threatened to create even more instability in the densely populated South Asian nation that is already dealing with a series of crises, from high unemployment to corruption to climate change. Amid security concerns, the main airport in the capital, suspended operations.
Violence just before and after her resignation left at least 109 people dead and hundreds of others injured, according to media reports, which could not be independently confirmed.
