Sri Lanka has been in a severe economic crisis for two months. As a result, the people of the country are struggling to afford even the most basic necessities.
Due to the shortage of fuel, Colombo, the main city of Sri Lanka, is experiencing power cuts for up to 13 hours a day.
As a result, the daily life of the people is paralyzed without access to public electricity. As a result, the entire population has jumped into a series of protests chanting ‘Sri Lankan president must resign immediately’.
In this context, President Gotabhaya Rajapaksa’s statement that he was ready to resign as requested by all parties is seen as a major turning point in Sri Lankan politics.
Already, he has been resigning ministers and appointing new ministers to key departments. Meanwhile, reports have emerged that the president has decided to step down amid popular opposition and a crisis in the opposition.
