The Indian Ocean island nation of Sri Lanka, which will elect a new president on Saturday, Nov. 16, 2019 has had a tumultuous history.

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.
