Covid is probably the thing they're least concerned with since most of them are having trouble putting food on the table. I've been following events in Sri Lanka since the war ended and could see that a tipping point would come soon, especially since that bonkers port deal with China. @cherokeepatti Given the Rajapaksas are murderous thugs who did not know anything about honour in victory, it's expected they'd not know honour in peace.

@willshare No I'm not, I'm Singaporean, but I grew up studying about the Sri Lankan Civil War

@Stefanv exactly!

@FreestyleArt And Canada.

@hippyjoe1955 banks are involved.

@Changeisgonnacome Yes there are lots of inputs to the crisis. Sadly Sri Lanka will not be alone if the bad guys get their way.

@GeniUs Depends, are the civil servants part of the problem? Do they have a better life due to manipulation? Do they watch their fellow citizens suffer and allow it to continue because they don't care about the conditions if they are not subjected to them?

@UnderLockDown I did think about this when posting but usually the average CS is not benefitting from anything except having a job. Different countries I know but I went for 'benefit of the doubt'.
