I can’t help but think that all the unnecessary backlash again Umara’s rendition of the national anthem is because she took a principled stand to pull out of a concert.
The strength of the Constitution lies entirely in the determination of each citizen to defend it. Only if every single citizen feels duty bound to do his share in this defense are the constitutional rights secure. ~ Einstein #SriLankaprotest#SriLanka
Breaking into the national tv station and trying to forcibly broadcast a message is what despots do during coups. Not what peaceful protestors should be doing. Strongly condemn the actions of this group. Solutions must be found within a democratic and constitutional process.
The #aragalaya has won and #GotaGoHome has been achieved.
It is now time for people to stand down and let our constitutional system do its thing.
We can't do more good by further protests and violence NOW.
Let's please not risk anarchy!
I do think people who are quick to come up with conspiracy theories don't really understand mob mentality, & a good portion of #lka mentality. Go outskirts a little, & a simple disagreement with a neighbor can lead to hacking. These types too are affected, angry & out for blood.

We just entered a very volatile period filled with emotions.
We have a political & a government system, which was NOT for the people, by the people and of the people
This week it reached the tipping point where the people took arms and said enough is enough. 1/

As proud Sri Lankans, we need to remember hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love. This is the time where we awaken the true Sri Lankans who are filled with love and douse this anger. 2/

The attacks on tourists and Easter worshippers in Sri Lanka are an attack on humanity. On a day devoted to love, redemption, and renewal, we pray for the victims and stand with the people of Sri Lanka.
138 people have been killed in Sri Lanka, with more that 600 badly injured, in a terrorist attack on churches and hotels. The United States offers heartfelt condolences to the great people of Sri Lanka. We stand ready to help!
