If you’re just joining us now, here’s a quick look at what you need to know:
- Bangladesh’s Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has resigned and fled the country, the BBC understands
- Hasina, who has led Bangladesh since 2009, is onboard a helicopter heading to the Indian city of Agartala, according to BBC Bengali
- Army chief General Waker-Uz-Zaman is set to address the nation, but his speech has already been delayed. He is said to be meeting with “stakeholders”
- Hasina’s resignation comes as thousands of protesters have taken to the streets in the capital Dhaka - with thousands more set to follow, a day after clashes between police and protesters left at least 90 people dead
- Some demonstrators have reportedly stormed Hasina’s official residence in Dhaka
- Some 300 people have been killed over the past month as authorities have cracked down on anti-government protesters
- The student protest started last month with peaceful demands to abolish quotas in civil service jobs, but have since transformed into a wider anti-government movement and nationwide unrest, calling for the resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina
