Colombo: Sri Lanka’s ousted President Gotabaya Rajapaksa has returned home weeks after fleeing the troubled country, officials said.
The 73-year-old former leader landed in the capital Colombo on a flight from Thailand in Singapore Airlines early Saturday, local media reported.
Rajapaksa resigned in July after tens of thousands of protesters angry over a crippling economic crisis stormed his office and residence.
He fled to the Maldives on July 9th, went from there to Singapore and spent the last few weeks in Thailand on a diplomatic visa.
