Aragalaya

The 2022 Sri Lankan protests, also known as Aragalaya, were a series of mass protests that began in March 2022 against the government of Sri Lanka, led by President Gotabaya Rajapaksa, due to the country's severe economic crisis, including inflation, blackouts, and shortages of essential goods. The protesters demanded the resignation of President Rajapaksa and key officials from the Rajapaksa family, and the government responded with authoritarian measures, including a state of emergency and restrictions on social media. The protests led to the resignation of several officials, including members of the Rajapaksa family, and the appointment of more qualified officials. The protests eventually cooled off in November 2022 due to improvement in economic conditions, but it was noted that full economic recovery would take until 2026.learn more on wikipedia
