The relocation of working class poor communities to high-rise buildings by the UDA has impacted how communities are able to spend their free time. Recent work in many of these buildings in #Colombo has highlighted a need for more recreational spaces in and around these buildings.

544,488 is a big number to begin with, and the stories of each and every household should make this government rethink their #lka is back-to-normal party line.

The UK's new Developing Countries Trading Scheme has launched. Over 80% of products exported by 🇱🇰 will get preferential access to the 🇬🇧 market. A major opportunity for SL to expand its export sector if the right domestic policy environment is created. https://t.co/xJiv8TDmU0

@ParliamentLK says to *protect MPs* their contact details were removed.

Other ways to say it are:
🔸Parliament no longer represents the people
🔸#SriLanka is no longer a democracy

@ManthriLK web MPpages still have contact details, to *protect democracy*

They never get it do they!! Price controls and shortages are two sides of the same coin. https://t.co/Y8BqhlKvI8

Taxes on sanitary pads hasn’t been revenue concern to the government and the data shows that. It was lobbying from local companies and governments deciding the taxes based on such lobbying that prevented removal of taxes on sanitary pads

If there's no stability NOW, expect economic suffering of epic proportions. There are NO reserves. None. No credit lines. This means no fuel, electricity, money for rice, dhal, anything. Chaos is delaying talks on the economy. #SriLankaCrisis #SriLankaEconomicCrisis #SriLanka

@MangalaYapa The social safety net has to be activated asap. We have a poor targeting mechanism so some who deserve it with be excluded others will be included who are not eligible. We can improve it over time. We don’t have an electronic system with minimal intermediaries so OH are high

[Advocata Institute @advocatalk]

🇱🇰has entered the deepest crisis in its history. The shortages and rising prices we face today are only the first inkling of what lies ahead. Unless the right steps are taken things can go into a destructive tailspin.

Here is a 🧵 about where we are and what we need to do:

[Yudhanjaya Wijeratne @yudhanjaya]

The Department of Government Information is lying, openly, about the shortage of medicine and equipment in the country.

Here’s our fact-check.
Spread this far and wide.

Whilst today’s debt standstill is a positive in terms of beginning the recovery process through debt restructuring and freeing up forex for critical imports, it’s a sad day since this was entirely avoidable if we acted early. This from an internal note on 4th December 2019.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNALISTS REPORTING ON SRI LANKA: Stop the automatic adjectives/ cursory references to 'violent protests'. Do you mean the overwhelmingly non-violent gatherings of citizens around this country calling for accountability? Report while awake please.
