Sri Lankan security forces raided a protest camp on Friday, a sign that the country’s new president is cracking down on demonstrations. Protesters feared a crackdown was imminent under new President Ranil Wickremesinghe, who is seen as a close ally of ousted Gotabaya Rajapaksa.

Doesn't look like progress to me
"And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books.
The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works.
Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire." (REVELATION 20:12-15 NKJV)
Today, while you are still alive and able, may you repent from your sins, believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that JESUS CHRIST is your Lord and Savior, so that through Him, your name will be written in the Book of Life.
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever BELIEVES in Him
should not perish but have everlasting life.
For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved." (JOHN 3:16-17 NKJV)
By God's GRACE, the gift of Salvation and Eternal Life is available to all. You can RECEIVE it. You can REJECT it. May you choose wisely ✝️
Take him down protests arrest protetss
Ranil is protecting the corrupt Rajapaksha families.
Brutality is the common practice the politicians use to control the already economically beaten hungry unarmed young protesters.
These are mostly far-left radicals who’ve been occupying government buildings for weeks. It’s good that finally security forces were able to chase the hooligans away without even firing a single live round.
Good job forces.
Our country needs international help…Every time we stand up for justice, the armed forces are brutally suppressing the struggle..🇱🇰🥺
we need international influence to go for a election to ensure public opinion represent in parliament & remove all corrupted.
Sri Lankan new military junta. Disgusting behaviour
Now the Sri Lankan army is attacking all the people in the country. What is your stance on the Sri Lankan Army? Ethnic minorities don't seem human to you? It was the same army that did the genocide of the Tamil people before 2009. The world countries have not come forward to get any justice for the atrocities committed by the Sri Lankan military against the ethnic minorities. Labeling minority rights struggles as terrorism is absurd.
The ills of intellectualism.

Now, Ranil started to showing Gotha's style rule of cruelty by sending military to attack and arrest non violence democratic peaceful voices. Ranil will not get IMF money due to his order to attack and arrest on Journalists and peaceful non violence protesters. Ranil is not a people choice president, he was only appointed by Gotha and again as the 2nd deal was appointed by Gotha's majority parliament members. Ranil and his UNP party were white washed in the last parliament election has not even one seat in the Parliament. People have every right to demonstrate their democratic non violence voices according to their human rights under UN chatter. and the international laws. Please the democratic countries the USA, UN , Western Countries 🙏 Please warn Ranil's government to follow the human rights values and international laws. We pray and support for the people every democratic voices. We pray for peaceful and United Sri 🇱🇰 Lanka and Sri Lanka need a new election. RANIL GO HOME 🏡 from Canada 🇨🇦
The dawn of our new fascist President's heavy-handed rule on unarmed protesters, whose struggle he welcomed earlier.
corruption politicians and no human rights
Wickremesinghe should be on the hot-seat for corruption allegations. Since 1977, Wickremesinghe has been Sri Lanka's PM SIX times & protected the corrupt Rajapaksas. Wickremesinghe is nothing but a Rajapaksa clone. Time to audit his assets. Main culprit bond scam.
Everyone has a phone/tracking monitoring device, THEY paid for. LOL
අටවන Fascist President who gains power by conspiracy.
Should have happened three months ago. They don't let us live in peace.
This is how enslavement works. And it is coming in your country soon.

Alles sehr schön. Aber zuerst zusammen die Nummern 10 und 1. Eine verwohntt.online Brünette und eine anderer Blondine. Es wäre unfair, wenn ich 4 wählen würde
The "green" agenda banned fertilizer use, so food production tanked, and Sri Lankans are starving. They rose up and ousted their lunatic leader.
❤Only for fans over 18 year⤵️ Alles sehr schön. Aber zuerst zusammen die Nummern 10 und 1. Eine emprutt.ONLINE Brünette und eine andere Blondine. Es wäre unfair, wennd ich 4 wählen würde
So from one corrupt leader to another, how sad I feel sorry for the Sri Lanka citizens.
