Bangladesh's interim leader Yunus says reforms will come before elections

Nobel Peace prize-winner turned interim leader of Bangladesh, Mohammad Yunus, said in an interview published Tuesday that he would not call elections before necessary reforms had been pushed through. Yunus, known for his efforts to lift people out of poverty through microlending regimes, took over as the country’s interim leader after violent student protests led to the ouster of ex-premier Sheikh Hasina in August.
