The increasing communication - no matter how ugly the reality - will go a long way, keep it up. The CBSL Governor’s press conferences, and measured, calm way of explaining the challenges SL faces is an excellent example of this

If you expected COMMITTEES from RWs speech, hope you’re not disappointed. I’M IN TEARS RIGHT NOW. For the first time I was made to feel like an ADULT CITIZEN of this country, and it’s scary AF. But I’ll take brutal honesty over lies and pussyfooting any day. Ok, criticize away!

This.

What a lot of the 🇱🇰 English Twitter commentariat don't seem to get is that political comms & messaging is not about them. It doesn't matter if we know something. What matters is whether a message/information is communicated to the average and below average news consumer.

This is how the children of St. Andrew's College of Puttalam sat for the O/L examination with the assistance of the Army in the midst of the severe floods in Puttalam. #Lka

Congratulations Dr. Rohan Pethiyagoda, who in recognition of his contribution to biodiversity research, was awarded the #Linnean Medal Nobel Prize for naturalists in London this week - the first Sri Lankan to win the medal since 1888! ft.lk/front-page/Dr-…

Congratulations to the #Rajapaksas for doing what even Prabhakaran in his prime couldn’t, and bringing #SriLanka to a complete standstill! Gotabaya Rajapaksa Namal Rajapaksa Mahinda Rajapaksa I hope the misery and suffering you have caused haunts you for the rest of your days

With an increasing number of people using public transportation, this has now become the norm. Peak hours resulting in this . Of course the schoola are closed for the time being, and most working from home. But for how much longer?

#GoHomeGota A mini photo story of evolution of militarization, esp in North & East, that led to current state of military overreach. Roads in north being named after military officers, army tanks on roads & Min of Defence overseeing & getting involved in civilian activities.

This is what I've been worried for throughout. A protest is one thing. Storming an official property is grey area. Looting a private property isn't a protest. This is why I stopped associating with the Aragalaya. This is not my Aragalaya. I'm glad it's yours.

#GotaResign #RanilResign The idealized perfect protest doesn’t exist. Esp not when dealing with brutal, callous & self-serving rulers who won’t hesitate to kill you. When democracy becomes a farce & those in power routinely use violence to govern, this is inevitable outcome.

Prasad Welikumbura Parliament of Sri Lanka We hv all marched for the Aragalaya. It is not the property of one group. Trying to co-opt it ro impose some extremist political vision and claim it represents all of us? No way. If you think these ideas hv merit raise them at election.Mob rule games make you as bad as GR & co.

This is exhibit A in the case proving that the aragalaya is a Marxist movement, intent on starting a class war, it's opposed to the entrepreneurial & middle class. With folks like this, chaos & failure is confirmed.

Criticising violent elements of the peoples struggle ≠ Supporting the status quo/politicians. Unconstitutional and violent solutions, no matter how popular or expeditious, will create long lasting economic and political harms.

SRI LANKA CRISIS | AFTER "THE TERMINATOR" Once the most feared man in Sri Lanka, Gotabaya Rajapaksa -- known as "The Terminator -- has officially stepped down as president after intense protests. Here's what you need to know about what's next. s.nikkei.com/3RAvTOK

Let's not forget that the objective of the struggle was #GotaGoHome, which was attained. RW_LK is now our lawfully elected President. Let's at least give him time to revive our economy from the ashes. We all want system change, but there has to be a system first, to change.
