'Support Us to Ensure Peace, Opportunity Now Available': Army Chief to Sri Lankans After Rajapaksa Offers to Resign Sri Lankan Army chief General Shavendra Silva on Sunday said that an opportunity to resolve the current political crisis in a peaceful manner is now available and sought the people's support to maintain peace in the island nation, hours after embattled President Gotabaya Rajapaksa agreed to step down on July 13. Thousands of irate antigovernment protesters in Sri Lanka on Saturday stormed into embattled President Rajapaksa's official residence in central Colombo's highsecurity Fort area after breaking the barricades, as they demanded his resignation over the island nation's worst economic crisis in recent memory.
