There is protest and celebration on the street of Colombo. Seems like there will be a political struggle encroaching on India’s doorway.

I think the bigger problem with Rajapaksa is less him being "close to China" and more him being a vicious mass murderer and war criminal.

Just sayin...
I didn’t know that. Explains the mass unrest formulating though.

Rajapaksa calls for snap polls in 1st statement as new PM. Makes sense.  His bloc won 40.5% to 29.4% for  Wickremesinghe bloc to 12.1% for Sirisena blov earlier this year in local elections.  Early elections will extend his power over both Sirisena and Wickremesinghe.

As for Sirisena I guess when it comes to a double cross he is a hard man to beat given what took place in late 2014 and now. 
What occurred with Sirisena?

Such an utter cowardice from the leaders in charge, abandoning the action. If this is how they act when Sri Lanka is in a rut, I fear for the citizens there.

He is singing this tune now when he was silent before. I do hope there is enough pressure for a snap election.
