COLOMBO, Sri Lanka — Protesters in Sri Lanka stormed the president’s official residence and office Saturday demanding his resignation, marking the latest turn in the deepening economic and political crisis in the island nation. Dozens of people were injured in clashes with the police, hospital officials said.
President Gotabaya Rajapaksa, whose family many hold responsible for the worst economic crisis in decades, was moved to safety Friday ahead of the planned protests, according to a defense services official who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
Thousands of people carrying the yellow and red Sri Lankan flag marched toward the President’s home chanting “Gota, go home.” The police fired tear gas to deter the surging crowds. The crowd swept past the policemen and breached the barricades to break into the president’s office and residence. Visuals from local media showed people roaming through the president’s house taking selfies and taking a dip in the swimming pool.
