"When Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina fled in the face of a mass
uprising last week, a power vacuum was left in the 170 million-person country.

After Hasina left the country, the army took over and swiftly established an
interim government to steer Bangladesh towards free and fair elections within
three months.

Amid hopes for genuine societal reform, however, people are still wary. Is the
three-month timeline sufficient to transform a politically fraught Bangladesh
into a substantive democracy that can resist sliding back into autocracy?"
