No pity for Sri Lanka by donor nations: SLFP

TS Monday, 29 August 2022 08:55 AM

Sirisena, the Former President, who paved the way for today's economic collapse of the country is now preaching good governance to the current President. Sirisena led events which contributed to the downfall:- 1.0 Unconstitutional changing of Prime Minister by Sirisena in Dec 2018 2.0 Dodging the responsibility to the poor internal security which led to East Attack in April 2019 3.0 Promoting and plotting to bring back Rajapaksha regime in Nov 2019

Honestly, as long as Ranil Rajapakshe being our President no-one will help us, but if Ranil Wickramasinghe be our President Donors globally will help SriLanka.

All parties that governed Sri Lanka from Independence are equally responsible for the current mess including, SLFP, UNP, SLPP, and smaller parties. Look at most of the Ministers, they are all more than 65 , and what they know about the issues faced by the country or younger generation. They just want to hang on to the politicians to earn for their generations which is the only good thing we have seen so far.

Crackdown on protest biggest uglyness Monday, 29 August 2022 09:40 AM

Sure we are in trouble because of military and police used to crush freedom of expression. However, SLFP can always ask for debate to change laws to prevent future happening like now. Get rid of PTA, give a full freedom of political expression like what America has as part of the their 1st Amendment to their constitution. The political turmoil I think is not so bad, some country like Australia got through a lot of leadership change in their parties. And even in UK, Prime Ministers not last the term before their own party revolt. That's nothing compared to the ugliness that shows with crackdown on protestors. No country, unless like India, and China which also clamp down on protest will feel any pity.

With the exception of India no country is willing to provide significant aid to rescue our country from self induced destruction. They have now come to realise that giving money to our failed paradise is like giving money to a begging drug addict who will use it to by drugs. Our drugs that are destroying us include maintaining our 330000 armed forces, subjugating sections of our citizens, maintaining a symbiotic relationship between the troika of armed forces, politicians and monks, a unproductive cohort of monks etc

It will take time, but we as a nation standing together will alone bring our country out of the present economic crisis. All we need is commitment, hard work, mutual understanding, and we need to stop this unnecessary blame-game. True, there were serious mistakes of the past, but if we stand together we will rise again. To begin with; let's do away with all these street protests. What an eye sore, what a waste of time and energy.

International donors and debt holders don't give a dime about the imprisoning of student. Let's talk about the real issue. The big government sector with waste and corruption culture. Make a statement regarding reforms.
