The castles of the ruling clan are crumbling, rapidly.
The younger gen of the clan are planning a gradual departure by sending wives, children and in-laws to overseas lands to continue life in luxury with stolen wealth.
Wonder how the end will be. Fly away in private jets?
Will the stolen gold be dumped in the ocean in containers as they did in 2015?
Agree with you Kumari,
It is crumbling, the fake castles built with stolen wealth.
BTW, two Cargo Aircraft landed in the new Ratmalana International Airport a few hours ago. Several other Cargo Aircraft also seen in Katunayayake.
That’s the only way to haul stolen wealth in gold to luxury, overseas. The gold comes for hidden ancient treasures mined by the Army and also, Gold recovered from LTT hideouts.
The two international airports should be sealed by the peaceful protesters to prevent flight of the KS Clan and its acolytes and boot-lickers.
This peaceful uprising of the smart gen is more powerful the previous JVP and LTT uprisings.
