Sri Lanka’s former president Gotabaya Rajapaksa left for the United States with his family on Monday, a reporter for Sri Lanka’s Daily Mirror wrote on Twitter. Gotabaya Rajapaksa was forced out of office earlier this year following the country’s economic crisis and unprecedented protests.
Former President Gotabaya Rajapaksa and four of his family members left for the United States this morning, airport sources said.
They said the former president’s spouse Ioma Rajapaksa, daughter-in-law Sevvandi Rajapaksa, his son Manoj Rajapaksa and grandchild were among those who left for the USA at the Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA) this morning.
