What is Happening in Sri Lanka? Why huge Crisis?
The public and the opposition in sri lanka have been involved in a series of street protests as a result of the country's economic crisis. Civilians, in particular, have gathered on the highways and engaged in insurgency. The government of Gotabhaya Rajapaksa has been thrown into disarray as a result of this.
Fuel, cooking gas, and other vital commodities have recently been in limited supply in Sri Lanka. They are becoming octagonal for many people across the country. More than 10,000 people marched from the beach to the presidential office on Galli Street, led by the main opposition Samagi Jana Balavekia party, demanding an end to the country's state of emergency. At the demonstration, opposition volunteers and supporters chanted anti-government slogans such as "Rajapaksa go home" and "Rajapaksa go home."

During the protest, a photo of a guy in andhra pradesh yelling as he stabbed two loaves of bread on a long pole went viral on social media, with chants claiming that people couldn't buy basic necessities. The Sri Lankan rupee has dropped to 265 per dollar.
Sajid Premadasa, the opposition politician who spoke at the demonstration, attacked the ruling party, saying: "President Rajapaksa, prime minister Mahinda Rajapaksa, and Finance minister Basil Rajapaksa have all failed to bring the country's economy back on track. If you don't succeed, turn the country over to us. In 2024, we will re-create the presidential election." "You have been suffering for two years, can you still suffer?" he questioned, looking at the big audience that was continually assembling there.

People who declare we have no faith in anyone, even the opposition, are arbitrarily fighting these battles against all political parties. Aruna Wangasooriya, a private sector employee who has never participated in a protest before, recently joined a 200-person rally in a Colombo market area with banners and candles proclaiming, "Politicians do not wish to harm this country."
"It saddens me to believe that the government has no solution to the catastrophe in this country, and no strategy to avoid it." Our children must grow up and live in our country because it is ours. He enquired of the rulers about our options for travel.
