Sri Lankan Buddhist monks clash with riot police during a protest march against full enactment of the 13th amendment to the constitution near the parliament complex in Colombo, Sri Lanka, 08 February 2023. Sri Lankan President Ranil Wickremesinghe stated that the Cabinet was willing to fully implement the 13th Amendment, which aimed to give more devolved power to provincial councils in order to resolve the island's ethnic conflict. The 13 amendments that have been part of Sri Lanka's constitution for 37 years have not been fully implemented, especially in terms of police and land powers.
