The Indian Ocean island nation of Sri Lanka, which will elect a new president on Saturday, Nov. 16, 2019 has had a tumultuous history. Since gaining independence from British colonial rule in 1948, the country has seen three major armed conflicts in which hundreds of thousands have died. It also has had its share of natural disasters. As it prepares to elect its seventh president, Sri Lanka remains a divided nation, with ethnic, political and economic issues unresolved.
