On 10 December 2022, anti-government protests broke out in Bangladesh.[1] Tens of thousands marched in Dhaka demanding the resignation of Prime Minister of Bangladesh Sheikh Hasina.[2] The protests were linked to rising commodity costs and inflation as a result of the 2022–2023 Russo–Ukrainian conflict.
