History has been made in Sri Lanka, where the world witnessed one of the most farcical departures from power of a Head of State in global political history. What happens next? In this episode we take a look at the events leading up to mass protests on 9 July, the storming of President's House, the Presidential Secretariat, and Temple Trees. We're talking about the role of Parliament and the fears of extra-legal power grabs in the aftermath of Gotabaya Rajapaksa's resignation. We're also putting international media and 'blue tick' pundits on notice - Stop trying to take away Sri Lanka's agency! We apologise for the garbling of some syllables/words - our co-hosts are in opposite ends of the country and we had to make do with audio conferencing software dependent on Sri Lanka's now unreliable internet coverage.
