I look forward to coming home, seeing what happens and looking at what we can do to get through the turmoil we have experienced, said Yunus just before he boarded a plane in Paris.
Yunus received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006 for his microloan movement to lift people out of poverty. During the recent turmoil in Bangladesh, he has been on a trip in Europe.
The student movement that has led the nationwide protests has demanded that Yunus be appointed as leader.
We have decided that a transitional government should be formed by the well-known Nobel laureate, said a student leader in a recorded video the other day.
The transitional government will be installed on Thursday.
Hundreds of lives have been lost in connection with the protests against the authoritarian Hasina's regime.
