Foreigner visiting the Sri Lanka protests - this is their story 🇱🇰

I'm in Colombo, Sri Lanka, where I visited the epicenter of the ongoing protests against government corruption in this country. The people are peacefully fighting for justice, a more equitable economy, and a brighter future for young Sri Lankans.
I was honoured to be embraced by local people as I visited several protest sites in Colombo. They want their story to be heard.

Thanks for this video. I feel you have all the right to be a part of the people here, no matter what this corrupt government says; as you too are affected by what has been done to this country. Btw, the honking is in support of the protest; it is in tune to "Kaputu (crow) kak kak ka kak (sound of the crow), Basil Basil Basil Basil (presidents illiterate brother who leads his political party and is known as Mr. 30% around the world due his corrupt commissions)". Basil Rajapaksa is known as a crow, while Gotabaya is known as the leech who holds on to power and greed.

Wow Thank you so much for your kind comment. Indeed, while Sri Lanka is in a period of struggle and transition, the people here remain incredibly friendly, kind and welcoming. I’m very grateful to be experiencing this country and meeting so many amazing people.

[@kumischannel2533]

I’m really sorry to hear that you had to go through some difficulties in Sri Lanka during your vacation. Please keep in mind that Sri Lanka is still a developing country and recovering from Covid losses. On top of that, Sri Lankan people had to go through an economic crisis which is very bad for everyone. The tourism industry was hit the hardest. There are many low-income families that survive from tourism such as street vendors, chefs, and many more. Sri Lanka has many beautiful places to visit and I hope you’ll give Sri Lanka another chance. Thank you! Thanuja
