Sheikh Hasina Resignation Live Updates: On the night before Sheikh Hasina, a long-standing leader, unexpectedly left Bangladesh during violent protests, the army chief convened a meeting with his generals, according to a Reuters report. According to two active army officers familiar with the discussions, it was decided that the troops would not fire on civilians to enforce a curfew. General Waker-Uz-Zaman then informed Hasina's office that his soldiers could not enforce the lockdown she had ordered. An Indian official briefed on the situation indicated that the message was unmistakable: Hasina had lost the support of the army.
