The family collapse has long signs. Analysis: "Nei" between brothers intensify Sri Lanka

According to reports, Ma Xinta, who has the highest prestige in the Rajapaksa family, was elected President Si in 2005. Prior to this, the family has always dominated local politics in rural areas in the south of the country.

It is reported that as the Sri Lankan people have become more and more angry about the ribbon relationship of the Rajapaksa family and the exposed corruption problem, Malacca loses to the opposition in the 2015 campaign of seeking the third term in 2015. At the same time, voters shifted their attention to Ma Xinta's younger brother Gotapaa. When serving as the defense director, he was considered rigorous and efficient in the army, attracting the support of an influential intellectual, business leader and scholars.

"Conflict" began to "conflict" from this therefore. It is reported that the two rarely talks face -to -face directly, and there are differences in almost everything. In 2019, the family came again in politics. At that time, due to the strong opposition of some people in the family, Gotapa became the presidential candidate of the family. In November of that year, Gotabaya won the election with an overwhelming advantage and announced as the president, while Ma Xinta served as the Prime Minister.

分析称，斯里兰卡的经济问题早在戈塔巴雅2019年底掌权之前就已经开始了，但由于新政府一系列争议政策严重失利，例如在债务不断增加的情况下，仍实施了大幅减税，并Opposing the assistance of the International Monetary Fund's organization has further exacerbated the Sri Lankan economic crisis, which led the country to fall into unprecedented dilemma such as unable to repay huge debt, lack of food and oil. The family's "internal" and "turbulent" gradually pushed Sri Lanka to the edge of collapse. According to reports, in early April, Gotabaya asked all members of the family to resign from the pressure of the public. But this did not ease the emotions of the people. Gotapa immediately believed that the only way to ensure the stable domestic stability was to let Masinda resign as the prime minister.

It is said that Gotapa has proposed to form a joint government in April to send invitations to all political parties to seek a plan to jointly resolve the current crisis, and open all the positions of ministers to all political parties. If all political parties support the proposal, Gotapa stated that he is willing to give up his brother's position as the prime minister, but then Ma Xinta's spokesman denies the news.

Insiders said that Ma Xinta had agreed to resign many times, but affected by his core circle, including his wife and two sons of politics, he persuaded him not to resign. It is said that this situation lasted for about two weeks, and the dissatisfaction and anger between the two brothers became greater and greater. On May 9, Mazinda announced his resignation, and the relationship between the two also reached the apex of breaking.

According to the analysis, the departure of Gotabaya marks the end of the "family dynasty" behind Sri Lanka. "The Rajapaksa family and Sri Lanka ended in tragedy." Sri Lanka media tycoon Jayavila said, "And the end is because of what they do."

However, some people still do not believe that Sri Lanka has always got rid of the constraints of family politics and believes that the Rajapaksa family will still retain the possibility of returning in the future.
