❗️Sri Lanka's President FLEES Country

Rajapaksa's departure follows a prolonged standoff with airport staff, who initially refused to stamp his passport to allow him to leave.

SriLankan diaspora is trying to ease the foreign exchange crisis after president's departure. It may not solve the original problem, but makes it little easier to take a different path.

As #SriLankaDollarChallenge trends on Twitter, the Central Bank of Sri Lanka has requested all expats to use only legal official banking channels to send dollars, as per local media reports.

In the last 24 hours, netizens have tweeted images of deposit slips, urging others to send dollars to the island nation.

"As promised, we will continue to do our best for the motherland," one user said.
