Sri Lanka’s ousted president, Gotabaya Rajapaksa, fled abroad last week to escape a coup against his government. He said he had taken “all possible steps” to avert an economic crisis engulfing Sri Lanka.
Gotabaya Rajapaksa’s resignation was accepted in Parliament on Friday. Thousands of anti-government protesters took to the streets of Colombo a week ago. They occupied the official residence and office of the President. He then fled first to the Maldives and then to Singapore.

Sri Lanka’s parliament met on Saturday to begin the process of electing a new president. Some fuel has arrived to provide some relief to the crisis-torn country.
Rajapaksa’s ally Wickramasinghe is a contender for a full term in the presidency. But the protesters demanded that he step down from the government. This is likely to fuel further unrest if he is elected.
