Much has changed in Dhaka six months after a popular uprising forced the Awami League government to resign and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to flee Bangladesh.

The broad-spectrum alliance that mobilised the streets against the Awami League had sought radical political reforms to rebuild democracy in that country. The task of Muhammad Yunus, chief adviser of the caretaker administration, was to initiate the reforms and hold fresh elections. At least 13 reform commissions have been constituted, but an elected government seems a distant goal. Echoing Yunus, the country's election commission told a delegation of the Khaleda Zia-led Bangladesh National Party (BNP) that it plans to hold the next general elections in December. The BNP prefers early polls.
