Cyclone Ditwah – testing Sri Lanka's resilience once more
Daily FT
|December 03, 2025

Regrettably, some of those crises were self-inflicted. Just when it appeared everything was going smoothly, the familiar misfortune once again struck the land last week. A popular adage in folklore states this nation is eternally hampered by Kuweni's curse. Going by the happenings one wonders whether it is more than a myth.
