The Bangladeshi leader's delusional belief in her own invincibility precipitated her downfall amid a Gen Z revolution...Her grip on power seemed all but absolute... Hasina's stubborn refusal to compromise, overreliance on state violence, and deep patronage ties disconnected her from the public. The collapse of her 16-year rule is a cautionary tale to dictators worldwide.
Hasina rode the wave of youth support upon returning to lead in 2008... exploiting youth sentiments against opposition leaders but sparing the guilty in her party... Brutal crackdowns in 2013 and an emphasis on infrastructure and employment failed.
