On this edition of Your Call's media roundtable, we're discussing the political and economic crisis in Sri Lanka, and the mass protest movement demanding the resignation of the country's top official. Sri Lankan president Gotabaya Rajapaksa finally emailed his resignation after fleeing to Singapore.
What's next for Sri Lanka, as millions are struggling with daily power outages and shortages of basic necessities, including fuel, food, and medicines?
Nearly five million people, or 22 per cent of the Sri Lankan population, are food insecure and in need of assistance, and 86 per cent of families are resorting to at least one coping mechanism, including eating less, eating less nutritious food, and even skipping meals altogether, according to the World Food Program.
