Sri Lanka's former president Mahinda Rajapaksa, left, along with his brothers former defense secretary Gotabaya Rajapaksa, center, and former economics development minister Basil Rajapaksa, attend a meeting at their party office with local politicians in Colombo, Sri Lanka, July 4, 2018. With one brother president, another prime minister and three more family members cabinet ministers, it appeared that the Rajapaksa clan had consolidated its grip on power in Sri Lanka after decades in and out of government. With a national debt crisis spiraling out of control, it looks like the dynasty is nearing its end with Prime Minister Mahinda stepping down on Monday, May 9, 2022, and the three Rajapaksas resigning their cabinet posts in April, but the family is not going down without a fight.
