@Appi Nathan exactly
@Appi Nathan
Beautiful. Sri Lankans are showing the world how to enact change and take power from corrupt politicians.
Be human instead slave..luck to all.
We the people say no.
No more lies.
No more corruption.
No more global bullies.
Looks like a good party
party? one protester died today.
Wikremasenge will rule with an Iron fist for the next two decades
These brave people deserve better. We support you, Continue, Continue, Continue !
The world should look at this as an example and follow. Send the wef mummies a message
police, military, presidential guards etc all of these are mercenaries in the soul and will turn on their own people at the slightest order from up above. You gotta understand, they are obedient dogs and will bark and bite as ordered, never ever trust or glorify them.
Sri Lanka is flat broke, with no other nations or the IMF willing to give them money, and it’s now in a state of anarchy.
Politics is the study of power. Who holds the power now in Sri Lanka? People? Army? Opposition party? Government? Businessmen? Media? IMF? UN? A nation abhor vacuum.
saddest part is that that money is gone as he is lying on a beautiful beach in The Maldives
Are you sure? I would like to know if any assets or foreign bank accounts have been frozen.
this is anarchy… you still need politicians to govern a government…. the country will still sink if they still push for people power
@TheMaximumTroll its still anarchy, I only see chaos. No one still governs this protest… people are just people… other countries will not communicate with Sri Lanka while this “ARMED CITIZENS” still run amok…
@NZeiram Ohcac People do not serve the government, the government serves the people; whenever a government forgets this, anarchy will always follow.
@NZeiram Ohcac Government is “people power.” A government exists only because the people allow it. Should the government fail to do its job to serve the people, it is the people’s duty to outs that government by force, if necessary.
By doing protests will sri lanka repay debts?
Would the gvmt have repaid any? Seems like they werent running things well at all
India should not feed them for free, we already have spent 5 billion. No more. Except ofcourse if they are willing to sell some islands then we can consider further aid.
Can see your level of Humanity though! This is why we fight for! It’s because of greedy politicians who came into power (expecting something great in service for what they do)…. we have to face all kinds of humiliations ! Never forget that Sri Lanka was once the Greneray of Asia!!!
Not free. it is a credit line they should pay back
Sri Lanka should calm down.
You should learn something instead
@Cas S Such as?
So who’s the leader for the people? If they don’t find one quick they will all starve
Why would they starve? This makes no sense to me
@Cas S seriously, you don’t know why they would starve? the nation has no fuel. people have to ration fuel wait in queue for 4 days. start from there
How long will it take for the ‘next’ leaders house to be burned down if he/she cant create billions of dollars out of thin air?
The same country that killed so many tamilians .. they deserve this
He is not a prime minister its illegal the way gota made him prime minister to save the rajapaksa family.
Genocide Rajapaksa need to be punished
The prime minister is also a thief.. He act like a monster to be the president for few days. What a shameful man.. we say no for thieves
It’s funny how governments crack down on peaceful protests, but then want to act submissive and listen to its people only when the protests get violent… This is why “The right to bear arms” should be a Human right that shall not be infringed because armed citizens are what will keep any government in check.
Blame Soros
The police are acting tyrannical,join the People or fall with the government
The power of the people 🇱🇰
George Soros is devil.
Keep fighting lankins and remember a man that does not any thing too lose is the most feared man of all he will rest at nothing for what is right power too you lankin brothers and sisters from an aboriginal man
Protestors need to start attacking the police defending this corrupt government
You called a leader who stood with his People in the war zone till the end and sacrificed his young kid and family for the people he dearly loved, you all called him a terrorist.
Not only him, other LTTE leaders and cadres despite knowing there is zero chance to win the war. Proud of my people.
Here is another one who drank the blood of his people by killing millions of Tamils and the people voted for him for more than 10 years just for killing their fellow citizens just because they speak different languages and don’t share the same religion. The so called powerful peace keeping countries didn’t want to acknowledge why millions of people supporting this so called terrorist organisation and aided the Srilankans barbaric government to kill the so-called terrorist
I am talking about our one and only people leader LTTE Prabhakaran 😎( your so-called terrorist), the terrorist Gota clan, and your so-called people leader who escaped with his family and money. 🤪😝
GREEDY TYRANTS, CHASE THEM OUT ….
Why is the police and army firing on innocent people these people have every right to protest people should stop paying any kind of taxes when the police and army will not get paid they will become beggars on the streets keep up the good work people of Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 we support you from Pakistan 🇵🇰 same is rife over here soon there will be civil unrest in Pakistan 🇵🇰 thanks to the corrupt army
YES , THE POWER OF PEOPLE CHASE THEM OUT …..SUPPORT 100 % FROM USA ..
Dont blame your puppet president……the real blame has to go to the people running this great reset like Klause Schwab and Bill Gates to start.
Ff
One man die because tear gas
Ranil is a murderer
When people go hungry or suffer too much they tend to revolt but corrupt greedy politicians will try to hold on to power/money at any cost which is beyond shameful

THE ANTICHRIST IS IN CHARGE OF ALL THIS MESS 🏳️🌈🇵🇰✍️
Fully support protesters from Bangladesh 👍🇧🇩
I am just assuming these people understand that if you disable a government, a new stable government won’t just magically appear, right? There needs to be elections, there needs to be transfer of information and authority between the old and the new ministers. And when there is a new government, it needs to be recognized internationally. Only then will you be able to make agreements with the IMF for a bail out. It could take months.
Gone Gotta-bail-yah and Raja-paksa, now Wicked-men-single
Mobs never end well.
This is very much untrue
insane background music. keep it up team Aljazeera
Funny hows Theresa no fuel, food, medicine…but Theres endless teargas for the people.
Police and military officials should resign and join in the people’s power.
Obadiah Alliance A Sephardic Jewish Rabbinical Court has officially ruled that the Igbo people of Nigeria are the ancient Israelites of the old testament. African Americans are mostly genetically related to the Igbo people. White Hispanics and Asiatic Native Americans are not Israelites and are not genetically related to Igbo or African Americans
Khud ke ko khud jala rahe ho
Same situation in pakistan inshallah
Pork?
what do you do when your people want to lynch you?? FLY TO THE MALDIVES 😂
What bothers me is how easily dictators and criminals are easy to flee and find safe havens.
For the benefit of the people, foreign governments need to send him and his entire family back and let their country decide the fate of those.
Yes the power of the People!
has led to anarchy. well done indeed. but the country is still bankrupt
mungwa gahala elawanna. this is terrorism.
PEOPLE ARE RISING UP ACROSS THE PLANET 🌍
අරගලයට ජයවේවා ♥️♥️♥️
Coward fleeing to Maldives
Mudder snake ranil wikamasihe
Now the whole world knows why there is a lion on the Sri Lankan flag 🇱🇰
I am a Sri Lankan, no media in our country reported this live, I saw your journalist, she was also with us, respect ❤️ love you
How easy and suprficial to say ‘my prayers are with the people of Sri lanaka’. how about all the christians donate a $1000 each instead. yeah I didnt think so. but keep praying because that is going to feed them
Foolish police
Why police is protecting a thief ,murderer and fighting against the innocent people who is fighting for their right
Police should instead arrests the man who is giving them ordered
forget about it, there is no country that works for the people. they are all crooks and criminals now, its only over when all humanity has nothing to eat.
See america 🇺🇸 it’s possible to storm your nation’s capitol without violence
❤️❤️❤️
