Editorial: Le Monde

• Bangladesh, a country with a history of political violence, has recently experienced a large-scale popular revolution that overthrew the detested leader, Sheikh Hasina.
• The ousted leader had to flee to India as hundreds of thousands of protesters converged on her home.
• This incident is being compared with the overthrow of Sri Lankan autocrat President Gotabaya Rajapaksa.
• Muhammad Yunus, the 2006 Nobel Peace laureate, has taken temporary control of the government under military oversight.
• Democratic renewal is an urgent but uncertain goal due to the hostility and vengeance that could be hallmarks of the post-revolution era.

Conclusion: The future is uncertain for Bangladesh with the possibility of a resurgence of political opposition, Islamist groups, and the military's presence. The challenge for the new power in Bangladesh is immense and the task of pacifying this unpredictable country will be demanding.
