The ongoing Bangladesh protest has drawn global attention, with world powers closely watching the situation. On August 5, after weeks of unrest, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her officials left office, prompting US lawmakers to call for sanctions on Bangladeshi officials linked to her regime. Specifically, they mentioned HM Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal and Obaidul Quader from the Bangladesh Awami League. A letter signed by six Congressional Democrats was sent to the US Secretary of State and Treasury Secretary urging these sanctions. On August 6, US State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller confirmed that the US is closely monitoring the situation. Human rights groups had accused Hasina of using excessive force against protesters, which she denied. Following this, the US welcomed Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus as the caretaker Prime Minister of the interim government. Hasina`s departure came after 15 years of rule amid large protests against a controversial job quota system, which resulted in over 300 deaths and many injuries
