@bloombergpolitics: #Bangladesh is pinning its hopes on one of the nation’s most acclaimed intellectuals to bring stability to a country scarred by coups and political upheaval. Muhammad Yunus, whose work alleviating poverty won him a Nobel Peace Prize, was named the head of a new interim #government on Tuesday following the sudden ouster of Sheikh Hasina as #primeminister this week. Though he’s mostly stayed away from #politics, Yunus is one of Bangladesh’s most famous faces and brings considerable clout with Western elites. #worldnews #geopolitics
