Sri Lanka President Gotabaya Rajapaksa flees from residence as protestors break in

Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa has reportedly fled from his official residence after hundreds of people stormed it demanding his resignation.

The President who is facing calls for resignation since March had been using the President’s House as his residence and office since protesters came to occupy the entrance to his office early April.

A massive gathering of protesters broke through barricades even as police used tear gas and water cannons and opened fire to disperse them.
