''The Indian Ocean’s Fault Line: Why Sri Lanka is a Strategic Hostage in 2026.''
From the tea estates in the central hills to the garment factories in the south, every Sri Lankan life is being touched by a war thousands of miles away. 🇱🇰💔
My latest article looks at the "unthinkable" reality: how Sri Lanka became a collateral casualty of the conflict in the Middle East. While we were just starting to recover from Cyclone Ditwah, the world changed overnight.
We are talking about:
✅ The rising cost of food and fertilizer for our farmers.
✅ The struggle for our brothers and sisters working in the Middle East.
✅ The future of our tourism and the people who depend on it.
This is a deep dive into why our location in the Indian Ocean makes us too strategic to ignore—and why we must prepare for a long road ahead.
