Protesters Rally Around 26-Year-Old Leader Nahid Islam's Call for Bangladesh's Prime Minister Ouster
Bangladesh's youth are banding together to challenge Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, led by 26-year-old Nahid Islam in a student-led movement calling for her resignation. The alliance is poised to shape the country's upcoming election and potentially alter the nation's political landscape.
Bangladesh's upcoming general election is taking an unexpected turn as Nahid Islam, a young student leader, has emerged as a key figure in the opposition movement against long-time Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. At just 26 years old, Islam delivered a powerful speech at a national monument, calling for Hasina to step down from office. This marks a significant shift in the country's politics, as Islamist groups and traditional parties are forming uneasy alliances to challenge Hasina's Awami League party. The opposition's unity is seen as a major threat to Hasina's rule, which has been marked by authoritarian tendencies and human rights abuses.
