7月に辞任した大統領一族による長年の悪政により、中国に借金漬けにされ、コロナで主産業の観光も撃滅、ついには国家破産したスリランカはロシアに助けを求める状況は世界の他の国にとっても良くない方向に向かっている。そのスリランカに関するThe Japan Times 7/16/2002 OPINION面の記事 "The fall of the house of Rajapaksa" から引用します。
Through a combination of authoritarianism, nepotism, cronyism, and hubris, the Rajapaksa family weighed down Sri Lanka’s economy with more debt than it could possibly bear.

・Oxford English Dictionary: Excessive pride or self-confidence.: the self-assured hubris among economists was shaken in the late 1980s
・Collins Dictionary: If you accuse someone of hubris, you are accusing them of arrogant pride.: It was an act of hubris that was to cost him dear.
・Cambridge English Dictionary: a way of talking or behaving that is too proud: He was punished for his hubris.
専制的な政治を行う人間に特徴的な性格・態度ですね。
