Sri Lanka’s strongest political household faces escalating protests over an financial disaster and claims of corruption.
For months, protesters have been chanting “go residence”, telling Sri Lanka’s strongest political household that it’s time to depart.
President Gotabaya Rajapaksa and his brother, former Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa, are accused of corruption and mismanaging the financial system.
Mahinda’s resignation on Monday didn't quell public anger.
Shortages of gas, meals and drugs introduced hundreds onto the streets in protests that had been principally peaceable till this week.
The place does Sri Lanka go from right here?
