Colombo, Sri Lanka – With the resignation of Mahinda Rajapksa, Sri Lanka’s prime minister and former two-time executive president, on Monday, many expect this is the beginning of the end of the dominance of Rajapaksas, one of the two most powerful political dynasties in post-independence Sri Lanka. The sitting president is the prime minister’s younger brother, Gotabaya.
But even if the Rajapaksas leave, the country’s financial and political crises are far from over.
