    The Economist awarded Bangladesh the title of Country of the Year 2024 for its significant governance and economic stabilization under interim leader Muhammad Yunus following a student-led revolution that ousted Sheikh Hasina. This selection superseded Syria, which editors rejected due to the uncertainty of its post-Assad transition and the potential rule by the extremist HTS group. Concurrently, the report highlights a severe post-pandemic crisis of pet abandonment in the US, where rescue organizations are struggling to manage record surrender rates driven by impulsive consumer behavior and a surplus of now-unwanted animals.
