How One Powerful Family Destroyed A Country 

This is 100% true story which happening here. Not only the Rajapaksha Family but a Lot of Politician and government officials are also corrupted People are so disappointed with this political structure, They are asking for a constitutional restructure. Lots of protests are going on all over the country, But all of them are so peaceful. But still, we rise as a nation! ❤🙌

Sri Lanka is a text book example for democracies that elect dynasty into power, it doesn't take long for turning a democracy into a dictatorship and an eventual bankruptcy due to incompetence

As a student in the final year of school from Sri Lanka, it's truly depressing to realize that our life prospects have been partially, (if not completely) destroyed by such incompetent, corrupt, and immoral rule. What's even worse is that as an economics student, we are taught how the kind of policies that led to our ruin are to be avoided. Too late for that i guess. I pray for my country and my people. I pray for strength to keep going. Edit: thank you for the kind words, everybody. They mean a lot to us here in SL

I actually went to sri lanka this summer to visit a lot of family, and i got to experience the struggles first hand. There were several power outages a day that lasted hours, it was nearly impossible to find rides, and there were lines of vehicles/people that remained on the streets for days awaiting gas. however, the worst thing is the affect all of this has on the children of the country. specifically in education, with schools being closed down and students not having the resources they need to learn. its extremely unfortunate how easily some politicians can abuse their power. As long as it doesn’t affect themselves, the wellbeing of the people is of no concern to them

I'm a Sri Lankan and I love this video because it showcases 10x times more than the things shown through out local TV channels within Sri Lanka. Most people in Sri Lanka does not even understand the current situation (how this happened, why it happened and what the things which needs to be done to get out of the problem). Thank you for making such a detailed and important documentry 👏. I hope that other countries can learn from this and make it so that they do not go through the same scenario. It is a harsh experience for everyone including children and infants.

I’m a seafarer on a cargo ship and my crew-mates are from Sri Lanka. I see them worried about their families, their kids future. Yet they continue to work hard , away from their families onboard so they can earn some money for their families.

Top quality content! I'm happy that Nebula is getting more educational creators. I'm a teacher and I can't tell you how valuable a resource it and Curiosity Stream have been to my school community, and I know I'm not alone! Having a place of curated educational content that we can share with households is so valuable. You're doing fantastic work!

I first discovered ColdFusion 5 years ago! Been a fan ever since. The love for this kind of content made me want to do my own thing, and now finally invested in the right gear and I am progressing step by step! Thanks for the inspiration! And keep the amazing work up!

Sri Lanka is a beautiful country with amazing people. I remember I was on a bus from Colombo to Kandy, was dead tired from my flight and fell asleep. The man sat next to me asked where I wanna go and he will wake me up when we arrived. He unfortunately left earlier than me, but asked the next person to wake me up. The next man who sat next to me woke me up and said we have arrived. It was early in the morning, the bus was full with people, but someone offered me a seat because I will be longer on the bus than her. I will never forget that bus ride. Just a proof that there are nice people out there. My heart goes to the Sri Lankans.. I hope someday things will get better. Comeback stronger!

I visited Sri Lanka in the end of March this year, just before the worst of the crisis started. There were commonly rolling blackouts that made it difficult to take out money to pay for basic services. I was blown away by the humility, hospitality and friendliness shown by the Sri Lankan people despite their hardships. It's such a beautiful country, and I hope they can manage to form a stable government that can take control and bring stability and prosperity!

In 2018 December, I had visited Sri Lanka. I went to Colombo, Kandy, Willpattu, Sigiriya, Polonnaruwa, Pinnewala, Negombo .... what I beautiful contry...soo greenary wonderful people, wonderful food, famous tea and coffee plantations......so many historical places, so enriched culture.... Being an Indian I feel proud that we share so many common things we Sri Lanka from time immemorial from the time of great Lankan King Raavana.... and Sigiriya ..uff My dream come true...such a fascinating place the architecture the concept.... its unimaginable... ..In those days I had seen massive construction was going on with Chinese Aid...even I have seen Chinese labours working there. what caught my attention was huge Banner hanging down from the top of such tall buildings written in Chinese language only... It was awkward as ..if you are doing something in collaboration with another country at their soil with their labour ... atleast in the advertisement you mention their native language...but it was ONLY Chinese... The owner of our Hotel in Sigiriya became a good friend of mine I express this to him and said Sri Lanka should be carefull about China and their policy.... because historically China is a dictatorial nation... ...and today you see ... they have just ruined this beautiful country..... During our stay in Negombo, we used to go a nearby restaurant, just 5 mints walk from our staying hotel, for meals.Their continental dishes were splendid... The restaurant was run by a family.. Chief owner a single mother Lady, her little daughter and her old parents.... that little daughter became a good friend of my child and the use to play together...the owner lady was good friend of my wife.... They all wish a goodbye on the final day and said "Come back again..." ...It still echo within us.. I feel so disheartened for Sri Lanka.. Love from an Indian

While the title 'How One Powerful Family Destroyed A Country' oversimplifies a far more complex problem, you've produced a GREAT informative video! subscribed.

As a Sri Lankan who was in the middle of all this chaos I can confidently say that this creator has done a lot of research and is well educated on the matter. One massive thing you missed about the drainage of country's funds though. Rajapaksas put together a band of cronies to steal public money very effectively through various deals. That's the reason they were involved in so many construction projects. Just look for Aspen medical scandal. The known, calculated amount robbed by Rajapaksas for the moment is 18 billion USD. They created many more billionaires around the world, who took part in their crimes. That's why the public is demanding to have "their money back". Also they were mass murderers. They would quickly and effectively murder/disappear anybody who'd stand in their way. Mostly journalists, murdered in broad daylight. They appointed a bunch of spineless cronies as military chiefs and used Sri Lankan military as their personal guard dogs. They still are. These are all facts and the most important ones.

When you hear that “A Family” is in charge… that says it all. Democracy is not about families ruling a country

As a student from Sri Lanka, I'll give it to you this is a great video and I can tell you've done a lot of research. Thank you so much for bringing light onto our situation

Thank you for doing this video. And praising for your hard work, research and time put together.

It’s scary how a few politicians can completely ruin a good country without ever even asking the people

As a Greek, this hits close to home. Much love and support to the Sri Lankan people, may you stay strong in adversity and see your beautiful country bloom again 🇱🇰 ❤️

Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into your videos, you are a man with his hand on the chest of the world feeling it's heart beating then translating the beats into understandable content. Thank you :)

I have come back after months in your channel and let me tell you man i absolutely love your style of telling the story. ♥️♥️♥️

In Sri Lanka, just over 1/4th of the population works in agriculture. That's compared to less than 1% in the United States. When your government is dumb enough to ban fertilizer imports, and massively decrease crop yields, things are going to get very ugly! And that's before the debt, tourism drop, and food and energy prices skyrocketed.

Couple of corrections: Tourism collapsed in 2019 (before covid) with the targeting of tourists in the Easter Bombings. Secondly, Russia invaded in 2022 not 2021 as stated in the video (5m20s).

Your videos are addicting because of the level of research you do, the clarity with which you present the facts, and also that you don't present them from any particular political bias. It's so refreshing to watch these kind of videos, without being inundated with the presenters political views. Thanks.

Thanks for the great content. I subscribed to Curiosity Stream using your code. It's really a lot of good value for a year's subscription and the documentaries are excellent. Keep it up my friend

Man, this sucks. I visited Sri Lanka in 2017. I was there for a month and it was my favourite country I've been too. The people are so kind, the culture is amazing, the landscape incredible and the wildlife majestic. I hope they recover from this disaster

What worries me is that historically, in situations like these the ones that come to power after the political chaos are often far worse than the original tyrants.

I feel deeply sad about this. Even sadder that it’s almost inevitable that my country, Nigeria is headed this way.

For me this just drives home the fact you shouldn't take your country's stability for granted. I feel like a lot of people just expect things to be peaceful forever when it's not a given. Hopefully things will turn around for the Sri Lankan people, they deserve better. For the rest of us, I hope we're all reminded not to take peacetime for granted.

This video gives a good account of most of what happened. The corruption and disappearance of the funds wasn't clearly addressed and if you are planning to do a sequel please cover these areas as well. I'm a Sri Lankan citizen and experienced this crisis firsthand. Thank you for properly giving the accounts of things that happened here unlike most international media outlets which distorted the narrative for a sensationalized headline.

Everyone everywhere needs to watch this, pay attention, be aware of corruption, authoritarianism, & nepotism within government. Strength & peace to the people of Sri Lanka and people of the world who suffer under these regimes.

Thank you for spreading awareness about this situation ❤🔥

I am so glad this video exists. I am from Sri Lanka and looking on the news about Sri Lanka is such a painful act. This is why the Rajapaksha family must go, especially admirers { like Ranil } I hope we get out of this crisis, get the money back, and change the way of life in the island country before another war rips out.

As this is mostly economic educational channel, I’m really happy to see alot of Sri Lankans are already been your subscriber for a long time. That’s shows how educated Sri Lankans are. Thank you for your video and hope to see another video from you how Sri Lankans beat this crisis soon, that’s what everyone wants to see 💪🇱🇰

As a Sri Lankan, seeing all of this unfold over the months is just scary. I have family over there and knowing that they're suffering like this hurts. I live in New York so I will never truly know how they feel, but I know it's really bad. I hope the situation improves and a new government is established to help Sri Lanka rise again. I pray for the good citizens and my family in Sri Lanka.

The fuel shortage reminds me of when I lived in NYC after hurricane Sandy. The fuel was short for a while and lines at the few gas stations that were open were close to a mile long each. One person tried to cut a line and was murdered.

Most disappointing is how official media never shows fault on the side of those in power.

I expect scenarios like this to become more and more common around the world. The facts brought up in this video show that (despite the title) this situation was brought about by more than just the doings of one powerful family.

As a South African, and painstakingly watching our country implode financially due to corruption and greedy politicians- this is a stark reality of what could very easily unfold here :(

I have been using his signal services, and nfts projects for over a year now, and I must say they are truly top notch dm

Great video as usual, but is it not spelled "Heroes"? Saw this twice in the video.

As a Sri Lankan who has been warning my fellow country men for over 15 years on what supporting corrupt family can bring us, the only solution I see is the drastic changes in the attitude by the people of Sri Lanka to adopt a zero tolerance policy towards corruption. All Sri Lankans are now paying the price of complacency and not speaking out in the face of corruption. Increasing amounts of people are resorting to petty theft for survival. Education of an entire generation has been ruined. But these hardships have made us strong and resilient and we will keep working to recover the economy of this country and also save it's soul.

I'm not happy that they're going through this, but seeing politicians being hunted does put a smile on my face.

Was too late to know about this, situation looks pretty worse. Hopefully every nation shud be doing something helpful in the coming months and Sri Lanka might be able to rise back stronger than ever. Keep working hard my brothers and sisters... Love from India ❤️

universe calking . Your video style is great ,

Visited Sri Lanka few years back, right after the bombings happened. Was about to cancel my trip but holiday agency said they are struggling with tourism due to the bombings and it would be great if i didnt cancel my trip. I followed what the agency said and can say that it was pretty good trip. The hospitality from our chauffer, hotel staff, shop owners and restaurant owners was very welcoming, they were so happy to see tourists and can say Nuwara Eliya was my favt spot. Covered 5-6 cities in a week time and can undoubtedly say people in Sri Lanka are one of the best i ve seen globally. Beautiful country with rich history. Prayers and thoughts with you all, m sure u will rise again and once things are stable will surely come back to see all the happy faces. long live Sri Lanka

As a Filipino, this is frightening because Philippines has another political established family.

Hi Dagogo! Are you thinking to make a video about Myanmar?

Great info as usual

Never thought Coldfusion would do a documentary on Sri Lanka. All the information regarding the current crisis was spot on. We will overcome this crisis and build SL back

I am genuinely happy that other people internationally also get to see what has happened over here. I'm just 14 and haven't gone to school for over 3 years now( I know many students here can relate) The only time we are told to come to school is when we have an examination I just really hope things get better cause I don't know if there are more ways this could get worse...

Yo you have your own online streaming service?

Nice video. You might have to do Argentina next. Cheers.

Hoping Sri Lanka is able to recover quickly. Got some good mates over there and overall the people I’ve met have been beyond friendly 🙏

Cold Fuzion in 15 minutes made more sense out of this situation for me then every main stream media outlet has over the past year. Thank you.

Thank you for making me aware of Other news that the current media isn't looking into. Keep up the great work. 👍

Any sri lankan reading this, stay strong

Love how the WEF immediately took down the PM's article about how he was gonna make Sri Lanka an economic power by just borrowing a bunch of money from the international banking cartel :) totally didn't blow up in his face people need to recognize that international banks benefit from convincing countries to put themselves in deep debt and they do this deliberately. Nobody should be allowed to put their entire country in debt without express permission from their people for each and every loan. The biggest problem with modern economics is that PMs are given a blank cheque and told to just spend whatever they feel like because public debt will cover it, it's irresponsible it's theft and it's just morally wrong on all aspects we wouldn't allow anybody else to get away with this, why do we allow the governments? You're just BEGGING for corruption in the current system

I’m living in Sri Lanka in this very moment. And you forgot to mention about the daily power cut, intervals of 1-2hours, 2-3times a day across the whole island, this is nuts. Peoples living standards have dropped massively over the month yet people of Sri Lanka still shown resilience and protesting peacefully, but we dunno if it’s how much longer it’s gonna last if food runs out in the country.

Love and support to all Sri Lankan's from Argentina. Hope you are safe and get out of this situation soon.

Their miserable situation heavily reminds me of my country Philippines thirty six years ago but Sri Lanka now was even in a much worse state than ours back then. I just couldn't imagine what Sri Lanka would be in 3 decades from today where the Rajapaksas, they were now treated as the greatest family to lead their country thus with aton of people just plainly minding of their incredible🤡 legacy instead of also reminiscing the horrible things they've caused because it's unjust or pathetic to do they say and whereas the protesters are the ones who ruined their own nation, in addition to a long, massive misinformation rave using several outlets to execute it so the moment you attempted to drop such facts by a little, you will just be mostly labeled by the whole bunch of their fanatics as an "anti" or a "hater" that spreads lies and fakery intentionally made by the opposing side and etc. Our citizens generally sucks tbh.

This is what happens when a country doesn't have national policies and the politicians are above the law. Great vid as always, I can vouch for the accuracy from first hand experience. Pray for us

I am crying while watching this. I am a Sri Lankan. Let’s not forget about the Easter Bombing which claimed 250+ lives. Most of the parliamentarians at that time were guard dogs for the Rajapakses. We got intel from India about the attacks. We could’ve prevented the attack. But this family used this tragedy for garnering votes. They used the attack to incite hatred against Muslims. They were claiming how they ended a civil war and if they were in charge, this wouldn’t have happened. Majority of the people of the country sadly fell for this trap. They voted for this corrupt family. Thank you, Cold Fusion. This gave chills. Aragalayata Jaya! 🔥🇱🇰

I lived in Sri Lanka during the Civil War. The daily demonstration of spirituality by the people totally changed my life. I owe everything to their example.

to solve this, we can press esc button then restart. and press that handicap button before restart for additional option

As an Indonesian, I feel for my brothers and sisters in Sri Lanka. We’ve been there too when Soeharto controlled our nation for 32 years in power. This country became and still is a mess because of the corruption, nepotism, and collusion that he had done with his family. But I believe that we can get throught this as nations!

As a Sri Lankan it’s heartbreaking to watch the video. I do hope everything will be settled and return to normalcy soon.

So sad that a beautiful country and people are destroyed like this. My wife is from SL and for years she warned about this! Sri Lankans need to vote for competent politicians and not along tribal lines. That whole fertiliser fiasco is a case in point - appointing an agriculture minister with no knowledge of agroeconomics 😪😪😪

talk about what motivated the fertalizer move this was passed over a bit

Sri Lanka is Iceland after 2008. Very very very similar story. Once a small country starts depending too much on external investments and debt borrowing for growth, it is marked for failure.

Im from Sri Lanka Gotabaya fled to Singapore just now and handed his resignation, situation is still grim but we haven't given up the fight to make sure everyone who brought in this situation is held accountable and work together to turn this situation Thank you all for the wishes

Hi can u make a video about such crisis in history like the crisis in lebanon it means the world to me thank you!!!

Thank you for the video. Peace and Love to all SL people out there. I am from Ukraine. Visited your beautiful country in 2017, it was amazing. Really sorry to see all of this now... @Curiosity: can you make a similar video explaining the situation in Ukraine? Thank you.

I feel so badly for my friends in Sri Lanka. I left there in mid-March. I spent a month there, it's a beautiful country with wonderful people. I now feel like I left in the nick of time. The gas lines were already insanely long and the tension was palpable. Political corruption is running rampant around the world. I fear the future looks bleak.

I am a 18 year old Sri Lankan still living in Sri Lanka. It is absolutely appalling to see what this family has done to our beautiful nation. Seeing people staying for days in queues with some even dying just breaks my heart as well as thinking of the number of people who don’t have money to provide for themselves and their families. While we can celebrate for a short time now that Gotabaya has resigned now the next step is to slowly rebuild this nation which involves the role of the interim president Ranil Wickramasinghe who is known to be quite crude. I pray for my nation and all the people to one day come back to where we used to be when we had fuel and supplies such as food and when our currency wasn’t in the state it is now. Stay strong Sri Lanka ✊🇱🇰

Cold fusion. Beautifully described

You didn't mention about the deceiving deal of Humbuntota port.

As a Sri Lankan I feel conflicted watching videos like this because on the one hand I want the story to go out, on the other hand I know some details will be wrong or missing. I appreciate you shining the spotlight but here is my list of ammendments to your story: 1. The end of the war included many war crimes against the Tamil people of the North and East. All foreign journalists were cleared from the war zone before the final stages of the war to remove witnesses. 2. The majority of economic growth in Sri Lanka was as a result of the war ending and a lot of foreign investment happening in the country. The country saw very little benefit from the Chinese loans and investment projects. All projects funded through Chinese loans were overpriced with a huge proportion of the money being embezzled by corrupt politicians. A lot of the projects like the Matale airport, Hambantota port, Lotus Theatre and Lotus Tower have no benefit to the people they are projects commissioned solely to embezzle money. 3. In 2015 the Rajapaksas were voted out of power, because despite the outward growth, and 'beautification' of the country, the cost of living to the average Sri Lankan was increasing. 4. However, the government that took over had many scandals and public foibles. Then in 2018 the Rajapaksas through other agents began a campaign of anti-muslim racism, leading to incidents of mob violence and the destruction of muslim businesses. This campaign allowed them to win local government elections. Seeing this upswell of support Mahinda Rajapaksa tried to stage a coup in 2018 but after 40 days had to give it up and resign. 5. The anti-muslim campaigns culminated in the ostensibly Isis led Easter bombings of 2019 which most Sri Lankans believe the Rajapaksas, working with Maithreepala Sirisena the then president, allowed to happen. This incident was the first big blow to Sri Lankan tourism and led the Rajapaksas, who are seen as strong anti-terrorism, milataristic and anti-muslim candidates to win the 2019 elections. 6. In late 2021 the Sri Lankan government began printing currency at an enormous rate while simoultaneously fixing the exchange rate that the banks were allowed to trade under. This led to the majority of foreign currency earners and businesses exchanging foreign currency on the black market where the exchange rate was fairer than what the banks were forced to offer. This accelerated the government's shortage of foreign currency reserved dramatically. 7. I don't know where this 130% inflation rate comes from. The cost of fuel when available increased by 400%, the cost of gas increased by 300%, the cost of food by 300%, the cost of electronics by 250%, and we are only 6 months into the year. 8. More than 60 people have died waiting in queues for fuel, gas and other essential items. More people have died because of a lack of essential medicines or petrol for ambulances. Over 20 Sri Lankans have died in the protests.

1:16 FYI that is not alcohol. It is a sweet syrup made using coconut which is used with sweet food. Something like Maple syrup. And yes the Rajapakshe family has done so much irreversible damages to the Sri Lankan economy and to the people.

I'm from the Philippines I'm so sad to hear what happened in your country and I salute the people of SriLankan!!!!! People Power!!!!!

Amazing that we are so far ahead of them in south Africa yet so close behind all at the same time

It breaks my heart. I've been many times to Sri Lanka and fell in love with the country, its people, culture, nature, cuisine and so on. All power lies with the people. No government should ever forget this. And the people should never forget, that you can't trust a single government. They all need to be checked and held responsible.

We must stop the insider trading, entitlements, and kick backs enjoyed by our civil servants. All democracies must immediately create real-time financial transparency for all senior and elected government employees, their family, and business associates! Those found guilty of corruption should have all of their assets seized, put on trial for treason, and have their families exiled from the country or barred from politics for 2 generations.

Corruption - highly contagious since ancient times until now and also in the future.

It's a lesson learnt to kick out shenanigans by Steve Irungu Jermaine

One of my best friends is from Sri Lanka. I asked him last week what was going on and he was pretty nonchalant about it. I asked him why so chill, and he said "we all grew up in the middle of a civil war brother, terrorists would bomb our schools and execute people often. This doesn't seem all that bad."

I send lots of prayer to Sri Lanka 🇱🇰. As a Ugandan, I feel we are bound to a similar destiny. When Museveni took over in 1986, the economy became a family business. All decision making lies in their hands. As of today, we are badly in debt and borrowing seems to be on the rise. Fuel prices have skyrocketed, there’s suppression of free speech and hundreds losing their lives to famine in North of Uganda 🇺🇬. It’s saddening and all we do these days is pray and hope God makes a way 🇺🇬

I'm a "digital nomad" (hate the term...) that lives in Sri Lanka at the moment and have been here before. One thing that's worrying me is that it seems a lot of people are investing in different ponzi and pyramid schemes online. People take loans with 20%+ interest rates to invest in these schemes, and when they crash (which they will) I'm worried how all those people will manage and what will happen. Sri Lanka is a wonderful country. Nature is fantastic, the people are nice, the food is awesome. I keep hoping it will be a popular tourist destination soon but just as things are looking to get better something happens, like the terrorist attack, or covid, or the topics of this video and in the future maybe all those in debth because of these schemes. They just can't seem to catch a break.

A very well done video regarding this terrible and very important situation in the world. Over 70 countries in the world are at risk of this happening to them if the perfect storm of economic conditions are reached such as what happened in Sri Lanka. The video contains an important message regarding this, leaders, your people are coming for you if you take advantage of them and do not have everyones best interest above and beyond your own! It's good to see justice done, too many are suffering under poor and corrupt leadership. Now let's help Sri Lanka get back on their feet!

You missed some of the most important parts like the involvement of the WEF and the fact that Sri Lanka had the world's highest ERG scores.

I'm a Sri Lankan CS student. Aside from the economic crisis, unable to travel, the constant power cuts, the negativity that comes with the depressing situation of the country all due to greed, can result in a mental toll. Here's my personal way of combating this challenge 1. Working out (it's just a 30 min workout, but the adrenaline pump, the power, and resilience brought through the after work out has definitely contributed to my sanity) 2. Move (since I'm on summer vacation, and almost all education is conducted remote, there is no actual reason to step outside. But take an ACTIVE choice to do so. Even if it's just walking on the pavements. My personal recommendation, if allowed, go for a sport, a badminton court, swimming pool, step out If in curfew, as is right now, make sure to shift your workspace constantly, somewhere there is a dose of sunlight. Make sure you get a dose of a greenery sight as well) 3. Focus on what you can control (let's be real, this is a big big mess, and honestly it's not your fault. So try not to let it get to you. Yes you need to be aware, but don't dwell in that pit, try not to be consumed by the feedback loop. For example something that I've been focusing is my career. I've been working day and night on getting that remote internship and hopefully get some USD on the process. In that obsession I find little to no time to dwell in this misery. It may seem as if I live in a bubble, but if that bubble saves my sanity, I'd rather stay in it) To all my Sri Lankan students, I know everything is so messed up. And I'm so proud for putting through this mess, and choosing to stay alive, I'm proud of you. And I hope everything gets better.

Nepalese people love Sri Lankan people. We are very sorry for your condition. We pray for your speedy recovery from inflation. I even personally care and love people of Sri Lanka. NEPAL LOVE SRI LANKA ❤️

Idea : Give ALL power within a country to a single family, with zero checks & balances, zero accountability and zero transparency. What could possibly go wrong?

I'm from the UK, but my father (who I never got the chance to meet) was born in Sri Lanka. I've wanted to go there my whole life to see the place he called home for the first years of his life. When the civil war ended in 2009, I thought Sri Lanka would continue its progress into stability and prosperity. Seeing this is heartbreaking, and it may be many years before the country recovers. I hope the people of Sri Lanka can survive this and come out stronger than before. I'm still waiting to meet you all some day.

I always said... If people get together, they can turn things around.

Am I the only one who felt inspired at 11:14 that people who normally are "just following orders" found their humanity?

Absolutely heartwarming to know that the citizens even cook foods and do sing-a-longs inside the residency to boost morale. Godspeed to everyone on Sri Lanka

People actually come together when they are forced to, when there is one enemy. Quite inspiring

Never take the most important resource of the country for granted.

Kinda scary how this similar thing happened in the philippines half a century ago and could possibly happen again with the same family
