Protesters mark 100 days of demonstrations in Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka’s protest movement reaches its 100th day of continuous demonstrations. After having forced President Gotabaya Rajapaksa from office, protesters are now turning their sights on his successor as the country’s worst economic crisis continues. Rajapaksa's mismanagement is blamed for Sri Lanka's financial turmoil, which has forced its 22 million people to endure shortages of food, fuel and medicines since late last year.
