Sri Lankan prime minister resigns after weeks of protests

Sri Lankan government supporters cheer after vandalizing the site of anti-government protest outside prime minister's residence in Colombo, Sri Lanka, Monday, May 9, 2022. Authorities deployed armed troops in the capital Colombo on Monday hours after government supporters attacked protesters who have been camped outside the offices of the country's president and prime minster, as trade unions began a “Week of Protests” demanding the government change and its president to step down over the country’s worst economic crisis in memory.
