Sri Lanka has plunged into chaos and its President has fled, appointing the prime minister as interim leader as questions swirl about the country's future.
Embattled President Gotabaya Rajapaksa left Sri Lanka on Wednesday for Maldives, a nearby archipelago nation, then departed for Singapore on Thursday, as his country remained mired in an unprecedented economic crisis.
As speculation swirled surrounding his whereabouts, confusion mounted over the stewardship of his once prosperous country, and whether Rajapaksa will formally resign -- as he had promised to do before vanishing in the early hours of the morning.
