Rajapaksa Family Rule – A blessing or a curse for Sri Lanka?
Good part
- Ending the 30 yrs of Civil War
- Modernized the Colombo skyline
- Built new expressways, ports and airports
Curse in my prospective
- Taking high-interest "vanity project" loans that led to the 2022 bankruptcy
- Turning the government into a family business, with brothers and sons holding the most powerful positions
- 2021 ban on chemical fertilizers crippled the agricultural sector
