In Sri Lanka, where the economic crisis continues, President Rajapaksa fled the country on the 13th following a large-scale protest against the government.

However, there is a possibility that the turmoil will continue due to the unpredictable situation as to whether power will be transferred smoothly in the future.

In Sri Lanka, which is in a serious economic crisis, public protests against the government have spread, and President Rajapaksa has indicated his intention to resign, and on the early morning of the 13th, he and his family fled to the neighboring Maldives on a military aircraft.


After this, he is expected to go to a third country.

On the 13th, President Rajapaksa reiterated his intention to resign on the 13th through the chairman of the parliament, and transferred the president's authority to Prime Minister Wickremesinghe based on the provisions of the Constitution.



In Colombo, the largest city, some demonstrators who opposed the president's escape from the country rushed into the Prime Minister's Office, and the government declared a state of emergency due to continued confusion such as clashes with security forces. A curfew has been issued.



However, even on the 14th, when the date changed, there was no announcement from the government or parliament that the president had officially submitted his resignation.



In addition, it is unpredictable whether power will be transferred smoothly even if the president resigns, and there is a possibility that confusion will continue.
