Violence continues in Srilanka as the economy collapses

Most definitely. These are Asian Tigers we keep hearing about. These are generals who tamed Tamil Tigers. I used to hear it on radio africa, voa, bbc on the papers. Even for ruto by 2027 he has to deliver food for the hasoras. Economy needs psychological hacking and serious work. Sio tu kupayuka. Serious work.
For ruto it is very basic. Just listen and do what people mashinani want for 1-2 years and boom. Before the SGr, Highways start requiring maintenance you have built a serious dam in each county, sewerage to each town with a population above 200K .... fixed dynasty cartels ... it can be done
Or else sugoi goes into flames as icuaweri, kabarak, bondo... it is economy stupid! I can't buy food, so what?

debt crises resulted to depleting of forex reserves and as such the country couldn't purchase enough fuel, medicine etc. In kenya we're already experiencing dollar shortage, the imminent economic danger is debt distress. If this isn't addressed nothing else will matter. Its almost insane for politicians to be proposing additional government spending.

Repeat that for the hasla bandia crew. According to the imbeciles you can spend without consequences.
Sadly even Raila camp has no grasp of economics, they are wedded to outdated tax and spend model, sovereign credit should be crime in my opinion. It is what has destroyed every civilization along with soil depletion but human stupidity has no limits so we don't learn. You control debt you become prosperous, simple is that.

I've been wondering how Kenya and sri lanka are different or similar? Sri Lanka like many African countries took out chinese loans which they can't pay back. Now, I hear 70% of their electricity needs fuel and without dollars, they can't pay for fuel so they are serious electricity blackouts.
Are kenyans just used to extreme poverty or are they too tribally divided to do what the sri lankan's are doing?

Organic farming also messed them up

Nyar wa Kisumo, remember when they listened to you, and went organic farming

Chinese debt and Organic farming drove them to the brink

Don't think so.

Yes, the president did a stupid thing by banning all chemical fertilizers which farmers had used for years and forced them into organic farming which they knew nothing about. This led to food shortages because the farmers stopped planting and chemical fertilizers had been subsidized for years. So, without the subsidies and no knowledge of organic farming, what did the president expect?
Sri Lanka seems to have similarities to Kenya: High Chinese Debt; High inflation (there's food on the shelf unlike venezuela, but people can't afford it) fuel shortages because with a shortage of dollars they can't buy oil or gas (CBK is denying there is a shortage of dollars in kenya) but with economics, the truth always comes out because the math doesn't align.

COLOMBO — Protesters in Sri Lanka have burned down homes belonging to 38 politicians as the crisis-hit country plunged further into chaos, with the government ordering troops to "shoot on sight".
Police in the island nation said Tuesday in addition to the destroyed homes, 75 have been damaged, as angry Sri Lankans continue to defy a nation-wide curfew to protest against what they say is the government's mishandling of the country's worst economic crisis since 1948.

If Ruto had violence blood like Ojinga, Kenya would be burning right now. Ruto runs to God, Handwork, and church instead, when things get tough. Whoever wins the next election must prepare for hard economic times for the first or second year. Uhuru diverted all the borrowed to BBI, politics, project Ojinga, and Kenyatta empire. The 200 Billion used for Kisumu and environs after handcheck, 25 billion went to development while a whooping 175B went to pockets of people...

Mogotio brain + prokopanda kitu mbaya!
Punda thinks he has his gotcha moment with SL organic debacle :D
Not so fast my fren, real world is much more complex.
sikiza watalamu:
So, was organic the problem in Sri Lanka?...Vandana Shiva answered, “The Sri Lanka crisis is a debt crisis, a financial crisis which was aggravated by the high costs of COVID.”
The food crisis in Sri Lanka has deeper roots than a six-month ban on import of agri-chemicals. A short-term policy of import ban is not an organic policy. We need to look to Cuba for a full-fledged organic policy in the face of fuel and fertilizer supply stoppage due to sanctions.”
Sukhpal Singh, professor, IIM Ahmedabad. “Chemical fertiliser ban was imposed only about eight months back and was partly relaxed within a few months. Maybe only one crop season has been partly affected by this sudden change in policy which no doubt should have been implemented more gradually, though there could be other compulsions for that. Therefore, putting the entire blame of the Sri Lankan economic crisis on policy shift to organic farming can only be a half-truth,” he said.
Rajapaksas were not enlightened agronomists when they banned agrochemical import, Sri Lanka was running out of foreign exchange.
Organic label is superseded nowadays by regenerative, when I go to my local cooperative I buy regeneratively raised grass fed beef, it is the future.

Matusi will not make for the deficit in reasoning.Organic is great for niche farming but forcing entire country to go organic was bone headed

In short, it is not organic farming that messed them, but misplaning. I think there is a big difference here.

Serious work by a serious president is the only way out. Debt restructuring talks. Raising productivity.
Even just psychological inspiring hope. Not presidential makasiriko to hungry people. Only laughing when watching people running and then going back to fombe. To reappear drunk or laughing.
Debt treadmill would be moving nicely had ufool not mismanaged the succession politics creating instability we are in out of nowhere. Blame is at his door 100%. Else, what is a president for? To blame external forces and continue playing kalongo longo.

Exactly :D but hey don't let inconvenient facts get in the way of cheap politicking.
If you were to try organic farming in the dead soils of Uasin Gishu, maize yields would similarly plummet. You have to revive the soil biology first.

In case of a similar situation in Kenya like now in Sri Lanka, will Weston Hotel be spared? :D

Yes, most Kenyans from age 0 to 99 fear mighty Kalenjins. You touch Weston even cattle rustlers in Taiaty and Pokot will abandon their trade and come straight to put pullets, arrows and spears in people's buttocks!

:D :D :D
Most Kenyans do not even know Kalejins. The ones they know are usually not the brightest policemen in town. Anyway, keep on dreaming that most Kenyans fear Kalejin wrath. You will be surprised how apart from those Mt Kenya folks in RV the rest of Kenya does not even bother one second thinking of RV warriors.

They quietly do. Luos in Sondu, for example tells their kids about warrior stories to keep them quiet, scared, and sleep!

The real reason why organic farming was forced onto the farmers in Sri Lanka.
A ban on imported fertiliser, to save dol lars, was dressed up as a boost to organic farming—but had to be scrapped when crop yields plunged, threatening a further de cline in exports.

Stop the lies kadudu
How much forex do you need to import fertilizers.
Reality - some idiot just woke up and said we want to be 1st country to do 100 percent organic farming

In April 2021, Sri Lanka’s President Gotabaya Rajapaksa announced a ban on the import of agrochemicals. The move was meant to save Sri Lanka around $300 – $400 million in foreign exchange, which the country spends each year importing agrochemicals.
In order to reduce its foreign exchange outlays last year, the Sri Lankan government took on preventive measures to ban the import of essential goods, including food items.
In the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic and lockdowns, Sri Lanka’s economy has plummeted because one of the country’s most important sources of income, tourism, has been completely shattered. This has led to an unprecedented drop in the country’s foreign exchange reserves, from over $7.5 billion in 2019 to merely $2.8 billion in July 2021. The government’s colossal payments to buy the foreign exchange needed to import essential goods has sunk the Sri Lankan rupee. This foreign exchange crisis has been so bad that in 2020, in a bid to save foreign exchange, the government banned the import of vehicles, edible oils, and turmeric, an essential spice in local cooking.

Pundit's problem is he does no research before posting on this forum.
As for now Sri Lanka has $50 million on foreign reserves. So any $ that can be saved would be a big relief for the governement.

Stick to RV politics. You have no idea what organic farming is at all. Organic farming is a process and not just farming without agrochemicals. If you beleive local farmers in Sri Lanka can stop using fertilizers today and tomorrow they are doing organic farming, then you live in your own world.
Sri Lanka's current problems have nothig to do with organic farming.
