Thousands of protesters swarmed the Sri Lankan president’s home in Colombo and were seen cavorting in its swimming pool as anarchy engulfed the bankrupt South Asian island and the leader said he would step down.

Surreal scenes captured on cell phone video showed citizens watching television, eating, and roaming the halls of the palace as the presidency of Gotabaya Rajapaksa teetered on the edge of collapse. Millions have been unable to buy food, medicine, and fuel for months amid a devastating financial crisis that has pitted parliament against the presidency and reopened old wounds between majority Buddhists and minority Tamils.

“Gota go home,” the mob was heard chanting, using a popular nickname for the reviled leader. Outside the sprawling residence, barricades were knocked down and a black banner was raised on a flagpole.
