ANARCHY
Baby is beginning to be born. Rejoice!
It looks very much like, whoever responsible, lifted the curfew and also allowed the mob in and see it would solve most of the problems the country is facing, including a stop to the Russia – Ukraine war. The news is, unless the West remove sanctions on Russia, in few days Europe gas supply will be stopped and the oil price going to have another massive rise. It is pretty obvious the leaders behind the unrest dearly wish for some mules in the front to get killed, but the government played it smart by lifting the curfew and letting the mob in to the presidential residence. After all, for any repairs the money comes through the public pure.
Putting the observations during the last 48 hours together, it looks like Sarath Fonseka’s cue with the support of a fraction in the army to oust G,R. and to settle old scores is taking place in SL. But the things will get only worse for the people.
This is like a theater with lots comedians. What will the world think of us?
