"Yunus — an economist and banker known for pioneering microlending, which many see as helping lift the country out of poverty — won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006. He [drew] the ire of Hasina..Under her tenure, he faced more than 100 lawsuits ranging from money laundering to labor law violations, allegations that he has consistently denied. Yunus said he expected the “fake cases” to be dropped now that Hasina is no longer in power." https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/08/06/bangladesh-yunus-government-military-hasina/

"The spur of the uprising had been a government quota policy that reserved a major proportion of civil service jobs for the relatives and descendants of those who fought in the 1971 war for liberation. But they represent only a sliver of the country’s overall population — Bangladesh is the eighth-most populated country in the world — and a generation of students and other young people shorn of opportunities and frustrated by the endemic corruption of the political elites rebelled."https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/08/05/bangladesh-hasina-resignation-history/
