Description

Soldiers armed with automatic assault rifles and sweeping powers are seen deployed on the streets in Sri Lanka's capital Colombo as the near-bankrupt country on edge declares 36-hour nationwide curfew to quell escalating protests against its president and in anger over unprecedented shortages of food, fuel and medicine. The curfew will go into effect at dusk Saturday and be lifted on Monday morning, police said a day after President Gotabaya Rajapaksa invoked a state of emergency following a violent attempt to storm his house.
