Sri Lanka’s Toddler President Keeps Getting Worse

My latest opinion piece looks at Sri Lankan President Maithripala Sirisena’s increasingly disastrous tenure.

I conclude by noting that Sirisena’s “performance has been worse than anyone could have expected.

But let’s be clear: a Rajapaksa resurgence to the highest levels of power would be extremely dangerous.”
