The protesters at the Galle Face protest site "GotaGoGama" have completetly vacated the site today after 125 days.

They dismantled their last tent from the site this afternoon.

A group of protesters who continued to stay at the protest site near the Presidential Secretariat on the Galle Face Green had already left the site on August 9.

However, several protesters stayed at the location until this afternoon.

They dismantled all the remaining canopies after police again today told the protesters who were occupying the site to leave within 15 minutes.

    All is working under the US instructions, simply, the US is RULING Sri Lanka, and we lost our SOVEREIGNTY.

    THAT DOES NOT MEAN, IT IS THE END OF PROTESTS. WE WILL START WHEN RANIL FAILS AND WE WANT HIM TO GO HOME. PROTESTS SITES ARE ALL OVER THE COUNTRY NOT ONLY GALLE FACE

    Absolutely disgusting protest 125 days jobless, homeless, 3rd grade, drugs, alcohol, sex uneducated jvp Mafia with opposition, ngo, diaspora , USA, Europe escalating it to send a strong leader who stood firm for his country and majority people who voted for him. But this will change in the next ballot making the protesters the loosers

    The entire nation is grateful to you. The majority of the protesters were peaceful and achieved many important results. The people of Sri Lanka will show their real power in the next General Election and choose a government that truely represent them. Aragalayata Jayawewa!

    They will only vacate the venue, but still the Aragalaya will follow until Rajapakshes' and SLPP is completely wiped out and abolished.

    Until a proper Govt. is formed with professionals and young bullets, excluding Potuwa robbers, our protests will follow as a shadow.

    It was getting to be more of a sight for sore eyes, no?

    Brave youths Saturday, 13 August 2022 08:00 AM

    You have vacated from Galle Face but you youths are living permanently in our minds as great heroes.

    The Aragala leaders are getting the pay checks now. Ratta already complaining of funds transferred to his account from an unknown source.

    Majority of the protesters were tired and waiting for an opportunity to vacate. None of the long drawn struggles have succeeded, 20 year war of Americans in Vietnam, LTTE's 30 year war etc; . Need of the our is to embrace all sections of the country and salvage the country.

    Sadly, Aragalaya lost its vision/mission/purpose! Glad that GF is cleared now, at least we can take kids to Galle Face now.

    Curious Saturday, 13 August 2022 11:01 AM

    Argalayata jayaweva! The country has proven that despite all hardships some sections of the people will always be content with one set of robbers being replaced by another and for a sizeable section of people a deep desire for changing the system and holding the looters accountable does not exist!

    Good move by the protestors. There will be time soon when they can come on to the streets and not to this pice of treasured Greenery. MM
