Bangladesh has declared three days of state mourning after the nation’s first female prime minister, Khaleda Zia, died in the capital Dhaka. She was 80 years old. Zia was the longtime leader of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party and served three terms as prime minister. Bangladesh’s interim leader, Muhammad Yunus, wrote on social media, “Through her uncompromising leadership, the nation was repeatedly freed from undemocratic conditions and inspired to regain liberty. The nation will remember her contributions to the country and its people with respect.”
