Amid the protests by thousands of people at the Sri Lanka President’s office today, Prime minister Ranil Wickremesinghe has announced that he will resign from his post in order to ‘ensure the continuation of the government including the safety of all citizens.’

 

Sri Lanka President Gotabaya Rajapaksa fled the country after the protestors stormed into his residence and official building. His whereabouts are unknown and protestors have now occupied both his office and official residence.

Videos are surfacing on the internet that have suitcases being loaded on a Sri Lanka Navy ship, which allegedly belongs to President Rajapaksa.

Hundreds of people were seen walking into the presidential palace during the protests. At least 30 people including two policemen were injured in the clashes.
