Protesters have occupied the presidents and prime ministers home, and state that they will not be leaving until both leaders officially resign. The Sri Lankan president has been blamed for the country's poor economic mismanagement, which has caused major shortages of food, fuel and medicine for months on end.
According to reports President Gotabaya Rajapaksa stated that he would resign July 13th But the president has not been seen or made a public statement himself.
The current prime minister also announced that he would step down But protesters remain skeptical about the leaders' intentions.
