COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AFP)-Sri Lanka's President Gotabaya Rajapaksa fled his official residence on Saturday shortly before protesters, angered by an unprecedented economic crisis, overran the compound and stormed his nearby office.
Thousands of people had surrounded the leader's home to demand his resignation, blaming government mismanagement for a downturn that has subjected this island nation's 22 million people to months of bitter hardship.
As the crowd surged the gates of the presidential palace, troops guarding the compound fired in the air to hold them back until Rajapaksa was safely removed...

It appears the government there tried to implement most of the stuff the WEF and One World Government experts were pushing.

I had a dream this was Joe Biden and his whole regime fleeing the country and America was able to become great again.
Sri Lanka 7/9 committee to convene soon.
They can always join the Russian Federation. Problem solved. Easy.

I won’t argue against that. Last year Sri Lanka banned the use of chemical fertilizers, and decreed that all fertilizers must be organic. That stupid move had to make the food problem worse.
Now, why would the Sri Lanka government make that decision? Why take the risk? Somebody had to be paying off somebody. That’s my best guess.
As a beach bum myself, I love the pool aspect! However, I think I wouldn’t want to be there later in the day as it’s just a piss bucket by then.
Didn’t Joe remind everyone that the government has nuclear weapons?
Joe has already addressed that. He has F-15s and nukes at his disposal. At no time in American history has an American President threatened his own people with nuclear weapons and the media was silent.
“The European Union has manure (fertilizer) limits and the Dutch farmers are having that put on them on top of the cow gas rules they are already protesting”.
I think that is spreading to French, German, Spanish and Italian farmers.
“Yes, get ready for July 9th hearing in Sri Lanka parliament.”
Not the dreaded J9th Committee!
That must be the old British Government House.
Whst an insurrection looks like.
No mention why Sri Lanka is in the state it is in. The Green New Deal on full display.
Dutch farmers, please take notes.
Yes, but nukes are so indiscriminate. Set one off in a big city, and you take a lot of dem voters also.
FYI Sri Lanka has reached the point where they did ask Mr. Putin for fuel recently.
Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose....
Good for them.
Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose....
There is going to be a fight, let’s get it started and over with.
