Just curious, is there another party or group waiting in the wings that does have a plan - and the ability - to fix this? I've seen op-eds and articles in western media, and a few in EMEA media, that all talk about sweeping changes and reforms but they all seem like the usual hand-waving or 'easier said than done' articles, and not really a plan for how to get there. My (very limited) understanding is that the current government has been in power less than a year(?), and so must have inherited a lot of these issues. Anyone seen any other articles on this that have more concrete information? |

The current president "Gotabaya Rajapaksha" is the Brother of "Mahinda Rajapaksha" who was the president before him.
When Mahinda Rajapaksha was in power, Gotabaya was the defence minister.
When Gotabaya was recently elected the president, Mahainda was the Prime-minister.
In Sri Lanka it doesn't matter which party you elect as the government, ministers jump from one party to the other always, they fight and throw chairs at each other in the parliament and on stages, but the very same day they will all meet and have a party with each-other. (I wish I was exaggerating)
there was a different government before Gotabaya was president and After Mahinda was president. But, it was basically the same old culprits.
