WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The U.S. government commended Bangladesh's army on Monday for its "restraint" and urged the democratic formation of an interim government after Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina resigned and fled the South Asian country.
Hasina's exit came after hundreds of people were killed in a crackdown on demonstrations that began as protests against preferential job quotas and swelled into a movement demanding her downfall.
