Dr. Dee esquire :Hope they didn’t miss! Tax money is spent on feeding them, ammo costs much more.
Some say that unrest started since they are in conditions with dengue etc. as if they live a decent life if at their homes?

We can all do something about this :We have a duty to protect the innocent, not to turn a blind eye or be wilfully ignorant.
Only way is to join the growing BDS movement : Boycot, Divest and Sanctions against Israel!
Hitting their economy is the most powerful way to protest against their despicable actions.

Redflame :The reason is simple. All drainages are blocked, not cleaned in Colombo and its suburbs. It is obvious dengue is rising. Clean Sri Lanka only a slogan it is not practiced on ground level.
