The consequences of the epidemic and the war are that the country with a poor economy is in crisis or bankruptcy, but the first to fall is Sri Lanka is not expected by many people, and the country that has been completely unable to function has made the people who have a bad life rise in anger, according to CNN news on July 11, hundreds of thousands of protesters came to the capital Colombo to demand that President Rajapaksa step down because his government is incapacitated. Although such protests have been going on for several months, they reached their peak on Saturday (July 9) with a large number of people directly breaking into the presidential palace.
The people who entered the president's mansion were directly stunned, and when they ate the last meal, the luxury in the president's residence was simply another world, so these people began to walk around the official residence, eat and drink at the moment, lie down on the president's big bed and large sofa to rest well, and some people took out the contents of the drawer, rummaged through the president's belongings, and then sat down underground to count and distribute.
There was also a group of people who saw the president's luxurious private pool, which had to go in for a bath, and people jumped into it to take a bath, and this pool was the first time that there were so many people, and the people standing by and watching were also anxious to jump in. People who can't turn for the time being also have a way, they first go to the president's bathroom to take a bath. It was full of people inside and out that day, and the situation was really lively.
The reason why the people who broke into the presidential residence made such a big fuss is that they have suffered too much in the past year or so, and unemployment and hunger have followed. "When the whole country is under tremendous economic pressure, when you see the luxuries in this mansion, of course you think that these leaders are not working for the country," jayasuria, a resident, told reporters interviewed. They are so hateful that they vent so much, even though they know it's a short time.
Sri Lanka is now in the midst of its worst economic crisis in 70 years, and the country is suffering from severe inflation and struggling to import food, fuel and medical medicines. The country had run out of foreign currency and had to ban the sale of gasoline and diesel to private cars, leaving people queuing up for days to buy fuel.
President Japakhsa has said in an official statement that he will step down on July 13, and where he himself is now is a mystery, and how sri Lanka's successor government will deal with the current economic crisis after he steps down remains unknown.
