Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina Resigns

Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has resigned.

According to a BBC correspondent in the country, thousands of protesters stormed Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's official residence in the capital Dhaka.

According to reports, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina left the country with her sister.

According to BBC Bengali, Hasina, who has led Bangladesh since 2009, is onboard a helicopter heading to the Indian city of Agartala.

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 has since transformed into a wider anti-government movement and nationwide unrest, calling for the resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
