People occupy President Gotabaya Rajapaksa’s official residence for a second straight day during anti-government protests in Colombo, Sri Lanka, July 11, 2022. Within days, Rajapaksa fled the economically crippled island nation and emailed the resignation his critics have demanded for months. Sri Lanka is in a political vacuum for a second day Monday with opposition leaders yet to agree on who should replace its roundly rejected leaders, whose residences are occupied by protesters, angry over the country's economic woes.
