The protests began because 30% of all government jobs are set aside for the descendants of “freedom fighter” — an estimated 3% of the population. As is so ofter the case, especially when Muslims are involved, things got out of hand. Government troops used live ammo on the protesters and events spiraled out of control until Sheikh Hasina hitched up her sari and fled to India. As Wikipedia puts it, her departure was followed by “joyous celebration and violence.” Mohammed Younus has been appointed interim PM.

Bangladesh appeared to be doing well in the past decade or two. Of course it's a third world country but they were developing nicely and attracting investors from overseas.

So it's kind of strange that they're in a crisis now.
