The Sri Lanka demonstration continues, the Prime Minister announced the curfew, the people: we have nowhere to go, we must save this country

The situation of Sri Lanka continued to be turbulent, and some reports stated that Rajapaksa, a president of exile, would fly from Maldives to Singapore for asylum. A large number of demonstrators broke into the Prime Minister's Palace on the 13th and asked the prime minister of President's power to step down immediately.

Victor Minda delivered a TV speech, reiterating that he would not leave before the new government was established. He announced the implementation of curfes nationwide until 5 am local time on the 14th local time.

Sri Lanka Prime Minister's Palace broke out, and the people of Sri Lanka hoped that the situation would be stable as soon as possible

In Coronapo, the capital of Sri Lanka, a large number of demonstrators broke into the Prime Minister's palace on the afternoon of the 13th. They climbed up the roof and balcony to continue to wield the Sri Lanka flag and asked Victor Masinha to resign immediately. Some demonstrators said they would cook and live in the Prime Minister's Mansion until Victor Minda resigned. The police fired tear gas to the demonstrators, and the demonstrators were unwilling to show weakness, and the two sides broke out fiercely.

Sri Lanka people:

Today or after tomorrow, I hope there is a new leader. We want to tell our leaders of the country that their primary task is to protect our country, because people have suffered a lot of suffering here, so we need to avoid more bad situations. This is why everyone comes here.

Sri Lanka people:

We are all Sri Lankans. We love our country. There are no other countries to go. This is the only place we must stay, so we must save this country.

The demonstration of Colombo is nearly a hundred days. Some of the space occupied by the public's President's Palace is used as a community library. The public spontaneously donated books and lined up to visit and read.

Sri Lanka people:

We want to hold a library in a short time. The people here can come to study, and they will not feel suffering, nor will they want to smash this place.

Sri Lanka people:

I mainly hope that the situation can be stabilized. At present, Sri Lanka's politics and economy are unstable, so I hope that my country can have a stable government.

The demonstrators next to the Presidential Palace not only have tents in the village, but also provide food and water for free, but even a community library, which seems to have formed a community. However, at noon on the 13th, after the National News speech was published in Victor Marinha, some demonstrators asked Sri Lanka National Television to change the show. The two sides were deadlocked. The signal of the TV station was interrupted for 20 minutes and finally asked the army to support it.

Head of the Engineering Department of Sri Lanka National Television:

The demonstrators they occupied the presidential residence and the prime minister's residence, and they now want to announce that the national television station is also under their control. As a national TV station in Sri Lanka, we cannot allow this situation to happen.

According to the exile, President Sri Lanka will fly to Singapore for asylum

According to Indian media reports, Sri Lanka President Rajapaksa, who has left the Maldives earlier, will fly to Singapore on the evening of the 13th and will be sheltered locally. It is reported that after Rajapaksa arrives in Singapore, it will officially notify Sri Lanka Speaker to resign. Speaker Abvadner issued a video statement stating that it will be selected as a new president on July 20 according to the agenda of the parliament. He calls on the public not to question it and insist on peace.

National political change in family business, Rajapaksa's "political dynasty" collapsed

If the crisis in Sri Lanka is a "storm" that gathers all catastrophic factors, then it is the condition that the Rajapaksa family has created the "storm" gathering. This family firmly controls the power of Sri Lanka and truly turns national politics into a family business.

A few months before Sri Lankan announced bankruptcy, the public continued to demonstrate on the street and asked Rajapaksa to step down. In the Rajapaksa family, not only the President Gota Baya Rajapaksa, but also the then Prime Minister Maxinda Rajapaksa, the Minister of Finance Brazil Rajapaksa, and the Speaker Chamar Laja Raja Portsa, they are all brotherhood, and the four brothers control the three -quarter Sri Lanka national budget.

In addition, the Minister of Sri Lanka Sports and Youth Affairs Namal, Chief of Staff Johita, and Agricultural Minister Sha Shindra were also members of the Rajapaksa family. Some media commented that in several major political families in South Asia, no one can be as "confident in the Rajapaksa family."
