On the anniversary of her overthrow, Bangladesh's interim leader said that the country will hold its first elections since protests toppled its former prime minister in February of next year. After celebrating what some have dubbed the nation's "second liberation" for a day, Muhammad Yunus made the announcement.

After weeks of student-led protests, Sheikh Hasina fled to India on August 5 of last year, ending 15 years of gradually dictatorial rule. Days later, Nobel laureate Yunus was appointed to lead a caretaker administration.

He made promises of reforms, but some claim he has found it difficult to carry them out in the face of ongoing political unrest and the fight to keep the peace.

Bangladesh should do more and save their country from unnecessary political hitches and troubles. I believe that Bangladesh have the potential to solve their problems! They should do more.

Bangladesh is chaotic, but this will come to its end after the election. Hoping the next leader is tough to change the image of Bangladesh.
