Be aware that Rajapaksas may attempt to set up some violent event (today or tomorrow) to justify a curfew on the 9th. On the 9th, they'll use agents provocateurs inside the protests to create violence. STAY AWAY FROM VIOLENCE AT ALL COSTS. That's what they want. 1/2

There are 14km from my home to Colombo. If there are no buses, my wife and I plan to walk on the 9th of July. I'm 43 years old. I know of much older people who plan to walk 20km+. What do *you* plan to do? #GoHomeGota #GoHomeRajapakshas

I wonder if the investigation into the #GotaGoGama attack will face a similar fate as the Easter Sunday Attack and the Central Bank bond scam investigations.

Oh my god. 5 million USD is around what, 2 hours of import cover?
How on earth did ANYONE think following policies for MONTHS that led us to such a low point would be justifiable? Not just the leadership, but officials and advisors too?

#SriLanka gross official reserves were down to USD 5 million on 13 April 2022.
That’s why the preemptive freeze of external debt repayments were made, in order to avoid a hard default.

Let us not turn an extraordinary BASL president into another mediocre politician. On my wife's bookshelf are 4 books authored by a G. L. Peiris. While I'm not a lawyer, the writing looks like that of a first rate mind. We don't want a repeat of that. We need this man in BASL.

When the law enforcement officers in this country doesn't know the difference between criminal force/assault and exercising fundemental rights, citizens always become the victims. @ranatungaPR @SL_PoliceMedia whom are you really protecting here?
