It was a pleasure to host Mr. Sanjay Mathur, Asia Director UNOPS in Ari Lanka, where he met with the President of Sri Lanka and senior officials from the UN, donor community, and government.

It's been one hell of a week for Sri Lankan men. A national cricketer in an aussi jail on alleged rape charges, a school principal electricuting 10yr old students, a senior policeman shoving female cops at protesters, and Nivard Cabraal's book on economics 🤯
Absolutely sickened by this level of testosterone driven force on women by the police. Surely, being able to hold it together in tense situations is part of the job. If this is leading by example, no one is truly safe.
The lived reality of the people of Weligodawatte -Mattakkuliya, Colombo 15.
How much longer till the Colombo Municipal Council invests in a sustainable waste management plan? Which big company's monopolistic interests does it serve not to do so?
In 2021, 141 aid workers were killed while helping others – the highest number since 2013.
Ahead of #WorldHumanitarianDay, here's a reminder that humanitarians are #NotATarget.
What the actual f*ck is this. Can we actually do something to ensure this child is in safe hands rather than being on the streets like this. I would like to know what we can do to locate her and hopefully get her to a safe place and off the streets
Now this is progressive

In #SriLanka, we’re working with the Ministry of Agriculture to construct a new plant quarantine service building in Seaport, Colombo with funding from @KOICASriLanka
The new infrastructure will help strengthen the agricultural sector & enhance export competitiveness
People's Bank is now quoting Rs. 400+ for a USD for Credit Card Transactions.!
⭕️This is higher than the Black Market Dollar Rate (Rs.391) of #SriLanka according to @steve_hanke.
If the banks are not honouring @CBSL's official $ rate, what is the point of having one?
Evidently the thirst to lead is not triggered by the "Need of the hour" but to cling to power at any cost. The cost being every Sri Lankan life still being ransomed to this politically led system of governance. #SriLankaCrisis#SriLankaPolitics#AbolishSL20thAmendment
To every activist, to every woman and man beaten, imprisoned and chastised for this cause, to every citizen who walked out in protest, to all the blood sweat and tears this nation poured as a result; this is our shot at true freedom, equality, justice

To the baiyas who said Gota is right for the nation, who didn't sell it off to the US in 2020, who is so Bhudhist that he wouldn't hurt a fly, who gave himself sweeping powers to plunge us into irrecoverable debt; you should never be allowed to vote again.
