π Summary
In a Facebook post on October 28, Alam alleged that Qadaruddin Shishir, who was then with AFP's fact-checking team in Dhaka, helped arrange initial discussions between Yunus and student leaders who wanted him to head an interim government after Hasina's departure. Alam's account suggests that discussions about who would lead Bangladesh after Hasina had begun before she fled the country on August 5, 2024.
