Thousands of protesters have stormed the residence of Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa in Colombo
Police fired shots in the air but could not stop crowds from overrunning the residence
The country’s Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesighe has agreed to resign, his office says, to make way for an all-party government
There have been months of protests over his handling of the worst economic crisis in Sri Lanka’s history
The country has run out of foreign currency and is struggling to import basics like fuel, food and medicine
Many blame the Rajapaksa family, in power for years, for mismanaging the economy and borrowing heavily from China
