Sri Lankan Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa has been forced to resign after a day of violence saw five people including a ruling party member of parliament dead, with reports emerging of people attacking properties linked to the ruling party across the island nation.
Shots were fired from inside the Sri Lankan prime minister’s official residence on Monday, as thousands of protesters breached the main gate and torched a parked truck.
Nearly 150 people were wounded on Monday after supporters of the government armed with sticks and clubs attacked peaceful protesters.

wtf
Minel , why u say “protestors says that Rajapksha regime launched the attack?”
Couldn’t you see it by your own eyes that it happened that way? Shame on you!
How much people hate him is clearly seen in this video.
Comparative to other international reports Aljazeera report is short but correct.
Allah ka Azab hai Sri Lanka.
This is results of Ban Burqa, Hijab, Azaan, killing innocent muslim.
Hey Srilankan !! Remember the hijab ban? Don’t mess with Almighty
Divide and rule politics supported by other countries comes to an end.
India may be next, because of policies of BJP government
Sources:-trust me bro🤣😀😀
This is what happens when you believe in gods, demons and other ghosts ..!
Fight for justice ✊
Officially Rajapaksas is a dictator and has extensive power-hungry and utilizes the police army against nations,.
We need this kind of revolution here in India too 😁
It’s getting expensive for average poor indians day by day but the shameless Modi Govt continues to increase fuel and food prices least bothered with the plight of average Indian , His only concern is how to make Ambani and Adani the richest men on earth at the cost of poor indians 😁
Modi best prime minister
@atheist⚛️ Wait for 10 year, India will be at same position like now in lanka. Lanka mein aag lag gya, yeh aag India ko duba dega Insha Allah( if Allah wills). Your government is doing worst discrimination against muslim.
@AREEB ALAM Congress hota ye din abhi hota india ka ya usse bhi bura
Hats off aljazera you guys predicted about Srilankan economic crisis before 6 months
Wion predicted it the day Chinese landed in Sri Lanka and soon you will see similar situation in paxtan
chinese loans are only 10 percent while most are from IMF
Both problem from leader
Mahinda is a greedy mf.. currently he’s trying to escape to another country along with his family..
Atleast srilanka better than my poor india🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺, india very poor country
If we can ban bank accounts belonging to Putin and hos cronies, can we also get the money from Rajabaksas to Sri Lankan people?
The only solution is India can bail out Srilanka and srilanka should merge with India.
The rajapaksa family of Thieves have made Sri Lanka into a country of Beggars.
Millions of Sri Lankans are suffering in hunger and poverty and will continue to do so because the rajapaksa Family of Thieves have robbed Seven Billion Dollars from the Sri Lanka coffers in the past two years.
Before the rajapaksas flee the country, Sri Lankans must turn every one of them upside down and make sure every dollar of the millions of dollars they stole from Sri Lanka is returned to our country. After that the rajapaksas must be jailed for theft and corruption.

The violent protest looks very familiar. The PM and his management maybe a factor but there is a bigger factor behind. After Pakistan then Sri Lanka, etc. All these come too soon one after another.
Kickout Raja Pakdhe
Plz don’t just say corruption! These animals stole from every single fund given in aid of tragedies (examples include the Tsunami funds these animals stole, Road and infrastructure funds, Easter bombing funds, COVID funds and etc) these animals stole from everywhere !
India also required revolution
One Can’t Force Rajapraksh’s To Leave Elected Office’s. They Defeted LTTE India Born & Adied Terror with Chinese Help.
People who elected have the right to reject them when the elected officials have blatantly violated the constitution . Officials operate outside of constitution . There is provision in the constitution to remove them in such situation s. Just because you married a man or woman doesnt mean you have to live suffering till death. There is a way called divorce .
Next country Bangladesh 🇧🇩
no gay people can stay in beautiful sri lanka so they have to leave for india sadly
my gay friend who left for europe is gay and sri lanka and dont want to see sri lanka never again
he says his country is monkey abusing people and boys and wont go again NEVER , its bad bad bad sorry for gay homosexuals there hmmm they are leaving a beautiful land
The prime minister and his family members in power arranged this violent act most of the attackers were prisoners who brought there by the prime minister and his people to attack the innocent protesters
people in srilanka peacefully done every things for months ,they use thugs to diminish there moral ,look what happen all the ppl in srilanka together punish each and every one of them,now they no who r the real thugs ,and know what ppl can do ,we will rise oneday ,im not gonna leave my country no matter what
most of the protesters are terrorists.

Rajapaksa’s incite violence that is their habit, livelihood and style deeply embedded in their blood. But cowards are now on the run.

Haaa,If we (Bangladeshi) protest against Government,we might be Able to go Jail,this is Bangladeshi Political problem.
Modi will lead india to rajapaksa way
Source:- trust me bro 🤣🤣😇
Srilankans are in between military rule or democracy
Police forces of Sri Lanka, India and Bangladesh has become dictator’s stooges.
In Bangladesh, poor people suffer a lot. At least Bangladesh is a Muslim country. Since Muslim donate a lot and there is zakat. But bd govt. do nothing for poor. They loot people.
The crisis was known because its was planned. I feel pity for the people who break their own things.
Please mighty universe save us from Rajapaksas.
Poor people dnt realize their playing at hands of United snakes who will now control them through imf
Indian also going same way …. racism and communal violence
This is what happens to a country under Right-wing, oppressive, pseudo nationalist, divisive government.
Coming soon in india
Hahahaha cry and just pray🤣🤣
Sri lanka is a sample of using USD for their debts and imports. By using USD, their expenses will increase by 3000x compare if they import using local currencies and their own currency for debts. Sri Lanka has to learn to Malaysia.
Can I get a reference to an article/s on how Malaysia handled their debts? Would like to read about it.
Consequences after bankruptcy and China’s Debt Trap. Lesson learned from Sri Lanka.
Satans are in lead..
U.N please come to srilanka and help to civilians
fail state like india
I can’t hide the feeling anymore as Intellectweb 👆has given me so much reasons to believe in his work, he just send me a hack transfer of £10,000
*BILL GATES – YOU ARE NEXT*
The great awakening world wide. Martial law incoming. Governments are globalist puppets and don’t serve the people
Bangladeshi prime minister and her all domestic hand made mp will face this situation as like SriLanka!
they will take compensations and will make their houses back….Thats Srilanka 🤗
Al jazeera, brothel House of journalists
When Chinese loan show their form
Every country China touches the country becomes bankruft.
The corrupt Rajpaksha Government is heavily bribed by China.
Completely true…. lot of houses of the ministers and parliment members has burned by people….. go Gota home…..
Tears of tamil
Helo Mahenda Rajapakse I heard your house was set on fire?? Good ” Nee Patra Vaitha Nerupu Ondru Patri Yeriyavum Kerkum, Nee Vithaitha Vinai Ellam Unnai Arukka Kaathirukum”!! Karma works now for what you have done to my Tamil people In Sri Lanka!! 😠
Still he is guided by Buddhist monk 🤔

Mahunda Rajapaksha intentionally pushed into this scenario to secure their power.They wanted this to be happens like this where they get the Advantage of aftermath
