The army and security forces are on the streets of Colombo amid Sri Lanka’s economic crisis.
Protesters have so far occupied Rashtrapati Bhavan, PM’s office, PM’s residence and the state broadcaster. Leader of the Opposition Sajith Premadasa called the government’s actions so far “absolute anarchy”.
The Sri Lankan economic crisis is growing by the minute, with President Gotabaya Rajapaksa refusing to step down. After fleeing to Male, Maldives with his wife and two employees on Wednesday, he appointed Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe as acting president, further angering the protesters.
