Sri Lanka's prime minister on Wednesday offered to meet with protesters occupying the entrance to the president's office, saying he would listen to their ideas to resolve the economic, social and political challenges facing the country.
The protesters were camped out for a fifth straight day demanding the resignation of President Gotabaya Rajapaksa, the head of state, holding him responsible for the country’s worst economic crisis in decades. They also call for his powerful ruling family to step down, accusing them of corruption and misrule.
