A Sri Lankan Buddhist monk pleads with Sri Lanka Police Special Task Force personnel to allow the protesters to proceed towards the President's House, 9 July 2022.Sri Lanka's president and prime minister have agreed to resign after protesters stormed both officials' homes and set fire to one of the buildings.
Thousands of protesters entered the capital, Colombo, and swarmed into Rajapaksa's fortified residence on Saturday. Protesters later broke into the prime minister's private residence and set it on fire, Wickremesinghe's office said. It wasn't immediately clear if he was there when the incursion happened.
"He asked me to inform the country that he will make his resignation on Wednesday the 13th, because there is a need to hand over power peacefully," Abeywardena said. No casualties have been reported in the fire so far, and police said Mr Wickremesinghe and his family were away at the time.
