“By replacing these individuals (Government officials appointed by Sheikh Hasina), we are correcting past mistakes. Our drive was to eliminate corruption, and it is possible to do so if we remove the root cause, the corrupt individuals themselves. The actions taken so far are positive, but it is not possible to change the entire country in one month.”

5. Students reading books at roadside shop

“We need a country or society where democracy is upheld, where we can freely express our opinions, and where there are no obstacles that lead us back into the clutches of dictatorship. We must ensure that we don’t fall from one form of tyranny into another.”

“Obviously, one of the demands of the students was to repair the state, to undertake some deep reforms and the sky-high expectation of the people. And they have already started that. So, I would say that they have had a good start but they have a long way to go. And what they are faced with, nobody should envy them.”

STORYLINE:
A month ago, a student-led movement ousted Bangladesh’s prime minister, Sheikh Hasina, after weeks of protests and clashes that killed over 600 people and pushed the country to the brink of chaos.
What began as student protests over government jobs became a large-scale revolt against the country’s longest-serving prime minister.
Hasina, 76, fled to India on Aug. 5. But the ouster triggered more violence. Police went on strike and mobs rampaged across the country until a new interim government led by Nobel Peace Prize laureate Muhammad Yunus was sworn in.
Yunus has declared that his key tasks would be to restore peace, law and order, fight corruption — and prepare for new elections.
His Cabinet, which includes two student leaders who spearheaded the protests, has fixed its sights on overhauling and reforming Bangladesh’s institutions, from its courts and police to the Election Commission.
There is still widespread anger against Hasina and her Awami League. Key officials perceived as close to her have resigned after mass protests.
Hasina, now in self-imposed exile, is also facing murder charges in more than 100 cases.
Many cases have also been registered against those associated with Hasina, her party or her government — from former ministers and judges to journalists and even a prominent cricket player. They’ve been attacked, stopped from leaving the country and even jailed. Rights groups have also condemned these lump charges.
With much of the violence eased, there is hope for a new chapter.
