On late March 2022, several hundred people, fueled by anger over a worsening economic crisis, attempted to storm then- President Gotabaya Rajapaksa’s private residence. A few weeks later, protestors gathered at the Galle Face Green and made camp, demanding the resignation of Rajapaksa and an end to the political system that had brought economic, political, and social chaos.
