Muhammad Yunus, Bangladesh’s new interim leader, urges for peace as he prepares to take office on Thursday

Bangladesh’s incoming interim leader, Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus, has called for calm and urged all parties to help the country rebuild following weeks of violence that led to the resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Yunus, who was in Paris when he was named interim leader, commended the student activists and called for peaceful protests, condemning violence. He is set to be sworn in as interim leader on Thursday night, according to the Bangladeshi military chief. Yunus, known for his work in developing microcredit markets, expressed a desire to return home and assess the situation. When asked about elections, he indicated it was too early to say but vowed to engage with stakeholders. With a focus on reconciliation and rebuilding, Yunus aims to guide Bangladesh through this challenging period.
