The president of Sri Lanka is too humiliated: he used his last authority to mobilize military aircraft to flee to the Maldives, and he dared to resign after a safe run abroad! Sri Lanka's beleaguered president, Gotabaya Rajapaksa, took off from Colombo airport in a military An-32 aircraft and fled to neighboring Maldives on board his wife and a bodyguard, in addition to Gotabaya himself. In fact, Gotabaya Rajapaksa, who is also the de jure president of Sri Lanka, promised to resign on the 13th, but only if he ran abroad, because he was afraid that if he resigned at home, someone would lock him up immediately. But Gotabaya's escape did not go well, because the commercial route simply gave him face and refused to let him take the VIP channel, and the president feared that if he took the general passage, the airport people would beat him to death. So after a 24-hour delay, the president used his last bit of power as commander-in-chief of Sri Lanka's three armed forces to mobilize an An-32 aircraft from the military to flee the country. If he steps down as promised, Prime Minister Ranil Viklemesingha will automatically become acting president until parliament elects a member of parliament to serve as president.
