Sir Lanka Protesters Storm President’s House Amid Economic Meltdown
July 9th, 2022Via: ZeroHedge:
Thousands of protesters stormed Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa’s official residence as part of an anti-government demonstration calling for his resignation following the country’s economic collapse.
Demonstrators marched to Sri Lanka’s commercial capital of Colombo early Saturday. They jumped security fences surrounding the residence and overran the president’s security forces. Rajapaksa was evacuated from the palace around 1000 local time, his secretary Gamini Senarath told Bloomberg.
“The president was escorted to safety,” a senior defense source told AFP. “He is still the president, he is being protected by a military unit.”
