Even after a full fledged revolt against the government, a member of the World Economic Forum has managed to become the new President of Sri Lanka.

He’s vowing to crackdown on the protests which he says are “fascist.”
NEW – Sri Lanka braced for more unrest as new president Wickremesinghe vows crackdown on "fascist" protests.
"If you try to topple the government, occupy the president’s office and the prime minister’s office, that is not democracy; it is against the law," he said. pic.twitter.com/NPabIQzUEA

Yeah so people who just want to be able to afford food and basic necessities are “fascists” according to this clown.
This is not going to end the revolt. If people can’t afford food, the protests will continue.
Mr. Ranil Wickremesinghe was as unpopular as the Rajapaksas. The protest movement was directed against him too
I am afraid his election as President of Sri Lanka will not end the protests nor usher in unity and peace
