President Gotabaya Rajapaksa unsuccessfully attempted to flee the country, on what I gather was a commercial flight, to Dubai, as immigration staff refused to let the president come to the VIP area of the airport to stamp his passport and he would not go through the ordinary queues for fear of being mobbed by the public. Apparently he's now planning  to flee the country in a navy boat

Rajapaksa's youngest brother Basil, who resigned in April as finance minister, missed his own Emirates flight to Dubai early Tuesday after a similar standoff with airport staff.

 Gotabaya Rajapaksa has finally fled the country on a military jet towards the Maldives. He arrived in the capital, Male,with his wife and one or two security officials [sources differ on this], around 03:00 local time (22:00 GMT)
