Two months ago it seemed unimaginable, but this week it happened. Sri Lankan President #Rajapaksa, who remained enormously popular among the country’s Sinhalese majority despite evidence that he was complicit in serious war crimes against the Tamil minority, was defeated in an election. Pulitzer Center grantee Callum Macrae, whose powerful documentary, “No Fire Zone,” documents the atrocities against the Tamils, anticipated the election outcome in an analysis for Britain’s Channel 4. But Rajapaksa’s defeat, argues Callum, may not alter Sri Lankas political climate. #PresPollSL #SriLankaElections
