Marxist Dissanayake wins Sri Lanka's presidential election as voters reject old guard

e: retracting my previous comment, the party of the winning president seems very reactionary against Tamil ppl

they actively opposed ceasefire and negotiation talks with the Tamil Tigers as genocide was being commited against the Tamil ppl and refuse to punish those same war criminals. unfortunately not the first time a far-left party doesn't fully realise its historial transgressions

thanks @thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net for the info

Good job, Sri Lanka 🥳

Let's goooo

Great news. Nepal also has a communist prime minister.
