Economically, Sri Lanka is on fire. Residents are dealing with ballooning food costs, hours-long lineups for fuel and power blackouts that last half the day. \n\nThe country is facing record inflation and unemployment, the likes of which haven't been seen in 74 years. But the crisis has united a nation that's long been divided along ethnic and religious lines \u2014 all to oust the political family they blame for the disaster.\n\nThis week on Nothing is Foreign, we hear from Sri Lankans who explain how their country landed in a $51-billion debt hole and the island nation's unprecedented protests.\n\nFeaturing:\nAritha Wickramasinghe, lawyer and human rights activist.\nPaikiasothy Saravanamuttu, executive director of the Centre for Policy Alternatives in Colombo.
