After weeks of deadly anti-government protests in the South Asian country, Bangladesh's prime minister, Sheikh Hasina, revealed her resignation and fled to neighboring India on Monday. Streets in Dhaka were filled with celebration as demonstrators marked the end of Hasina's 15-year rule by climbing a massive statue of her father, independence leader Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, and cutting it in the head with an axe. Bangladesh's army leader, Gen. Waker-uz-Zaman, declared the creation of an interim government and confirmed Hasina's resignation in an address to the nation.
