Protesters take to the streets in Sri Lanka as the country faces economic crisis

In Sri Lanka, pro- and anti-government protestors have gone to the streets as the country’s economic crisis worsens.

Following criticism of the government’s handling of the crisis, Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa resigned.

Authorities deploy tear gas and physical force to disperse demonstrators.

Earlier, Sri Lanka’s Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa has surrendered in the midst of mass fights at the public authority’s treatment of a developing financial emergency.

The move came as the island was put under a time limit after vicious conflicts between Rajapaksa allies and government dissenters in Colombo.

Five individuals have kicked the bucket, including a decision party MP, and in excess of 190 were harmed in savagery in the capital.

There have been fights over taking off costs and power cuts since a month ago.

The island country is confronting its most terrible monetary emergency since acquiring freedom from Britain in 1948.
