Muhammad Yunus, the Nobel Prize laureate and pioneer of microfinancing, has been appointed as the interim prime minister of Bangladesh. This comes after civil unrest and complaints against the previous government led by Sheikh Hasina. However, Yunus faces challenges such as winning a legitimate election and navigating the power play between India and China. The movement that caused Sheikh Hasina to resign was largely driven by young people, indicating a shift in power back to the people. Yunus has the opportunity to bring about real change and diversify the economy, particularly in the field of AI. However, there is also concern about the potential for authoritarian leadership and the role of the military in Bangladesh's politics.
