Sri Lanka Economic Crisis: What will be President Gotabaya Rajapaksa's NEXT move? | ABP News

Sri Lanka experienced its most violent day in recent weeks on Monday, when Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa resigned and confrontations erupted across the country, killing at least five people and injuring over 200. According to sources, governing party lawmaker Amarakeerthi Athukorala shot and killed a 27-year-old man before killing himself, as the country remained tense amid an economic crisis. For decades, the Rajapaksas have been the most dominant political family in the South Asian nation, but present economic woes have turned into a political quagmire for them. President Gotabaya Rajapaksa has also been urged to resign.
