This past weekend, reports of scenes in Sri Lanka caused anxiety throughout the world when protesters apparently invaded the presidential mansion of Gotabaya Rajapaksa as the president fled. He ultimately stated that he would resign on July 13 after ignoring requests for it for several months (Wednesday). PM of Sri Lanka Ranil Wickremesinghe announced his resignation a few hours earlier. The 22 million-person island nation's future is still in doubt as it struggles with its greatest economic crisis in seven decades.
