End violence, will meet your demands, said Bangladesh’s army chief Waker-Uz-Zaman Monday to protesters, adding that he will form an interim government after prime minister Sheikh Hasina resigned and fled the capital in the face of overwhelming protests.
“We will form an interim government,” Waker said in a broadcast to the nation on state television, assuring the protesters that their demands will be met.
“The country has suffered a lot, the economy has been hit, many people have been killed — it is time to stop the violence,” he added.
