    Thank you Sri Lanka, for showing the world how what needs to be done, can be done; without too much violence whatsmore. It is also worth noting that the police and military were not exactly enthusiastic about suppressing the people. One assumes that the military and police had more empathy with the people than with the ruling elite; this is a critical component of any internal domestic regime change. Well done Sri Lanka; now the real work begins ie; putting in place a socio-economic form of governance and productivity that first and foremost works for the people. I wish you well and strongly advise that you closely watch the space called China, where after a mere 100 years, the practice has been almost perfected.

      From what I've seen, this whole chain of events has stayed remarkably peaceful and bloodless (though not completely of course).
      Even when protesters overran the Presidential palace, they didn't trash the place, instead they made themselves comfortable, swimming in the pool, relaxing on the beds and eating food from the kitchen.
      And on the other hand, the police and military restrained themselves from opening fire into the crowds, even as they were overrun.
      Yes there will be a chaotic period ahead, but if you look at protests against authoritarian regimes in other countries, this could have gone far, far worse.

    Here is a fact that has been intentionally left out by BBC, Sri Lanka actually owes most debt with JAPAN (ranked 1st) and The ASIAN DEVELOPMENT BANK (ranked 2nd). Their debt with China is only ranked 3rd at 10% of overall debt.
    2009 they just came out of long civil war with the Timil Indian minority. 2019 horrible terrorist attacks by ISIS killed 269 people on several sites across the country. Later 2019 they got hit by Covid pandemic. I can only wish the hardworking Sri Lankan people the best. I would love to visit the country one day.
    Also, India has just agreed to lend them more than US$3 billion loan this year 2022. I don't know if it's wise to accumulate more debt to cover debt, but again I can only wish them the best.

      And also although this movement started with genuine peaceful protestors, now it has infiltrated with power hungry different political groups. They are the ones who have invaded and taken over govt buildings. Some has actually destroyed and damaged certain areas of the Presidential Palace. Media does not show this, only independent media covers them. These people have even physically harmed couple of armed solders. The original "Gotagohome" protestors have thoroughly condemn these lawlessness and anarchy and announced and have moved out of protesting. The media doesn't talk about it. There's infighting among these groups. So many have realized this situation. So the so called system change they demand, they have to look at themselves in the mirror. So we have to wait and watch how everything unfolds as it happens.
