“The president of Bangladesh on Tuesday appointed Muhammad Yunus, a pioneer in microfinance and a Nobel laureate, to oversee an interim government, accommodating demands by protesters and offering a reprieve for a country scarred by violence.

The plans for a new government were announced a day after Bangladesh’s authoritarian leader, Sheikh Hasina, resigned and fled the country amid a popular uprising.”

this makes me think that it was actually an intra-elite battle for control and that those elites opposed to hasina and her faction won the battle rather than spontaneous protest/working class lead. What do you think?

Why do you think that? The opposition had been basically crushed for a while

I guess I'm not following close enough (most of my knowledge about it is from my dad). Yunus doesn't seem like an "opposition" figure in any traditional sense though

that is what I genuinely have thought as well but the swiftness with how the interim government has been filled with opposition has me suspecious.
