Can very easily be you if people become leaderless and lose Thier Cool

Thiswas supoose to happen in 2018 when we had negative reserves but somehow arabs saved us(not IK the arabs)

Remeber the arabs have now given up on us despite having record money/revenues

It means the next time it will happen in pakistan

I think Pakistan should help Sri Lanka and send food and medical items on an emergency basis

Worry about pakistan own bankrupcy

Let India help them, the government has strong anti Muslim tendency, similar like India current government. They are buddies. Just look this gov supporters, no different with India Moody supporters (Hindutva) behavior

 

[StraightEdge]

Its a cautionary tale of Chinese investment and Chinese alignment at work. Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Bangladesh should take note. This is what happen to those who become pearls in string.

As a proportion of foreign debt for Sri Lanka, Japan, WB and ADB holds more than China. China hold about 10% of total foreign debt for Sri Lanka. It's foolish to blame chinese for sri lanka's problems.

So the Sri Lankan PM just folded and resigned like that? all of this seems too preplanned to me. But it was bound to happen considering the economic crisis and how disgruntled and fed up the citizens are, this sporadic rioting and violence isn't a very good start to the regime change. Wish the best for them, such a beautiful and peaceful country and nation doesn't deserve any of this

No need unless they ask for help. Pakistan has enough problems of its own, we don't have to bend backwards to help EVERY single country that has a problem especially when they didn't ask for help

Pakistan has enjoyed broadly good relationship With Sri Lanka, I find no reason why we should not help them within our limited capacity. Our historical ties with Sri Lanka are far better than Balngladesh and most of SAARC nations

Pakistan also provided them with some kind of help in their war against LTTE.

Because they didn't ask for help? they have the ability to deal with it themselves. Its annoying when a country constantly offers its help to others when they didn't ask or have no need for it, especially when we already have enough problems of our own. And hopefully it wont come to the point where they will be needing foreign help

Pakistan should offer a relief package named after the lynched Sri Lankan in Pakistan.

If only that relief package could resurrect the poor man and give peace to his family.

It will not but it may offer some relief to the living.

There are severe humanitarian crises in Sri Lanka right now. We both have a similar situation where the Rajapaksa family is ruling Sri Lanka, and PML-N and PPP families lead Pakistan. The only difference is people in Sri Lanka are unable to feed themselves whilst we are talking about such a possibility In the future.

I am not asking you to donate your kidney, but helping them within our limited capacity will leave a positive image of Pakistan. It is better to help a nation you have had a good relationship in the past than forever ungrateful Afghans who will accept donations and then send terrorists to explode themselves in the open streets of Pakistan

Pakistan also provided them with some kind of help in their war against LTTE.

Yes we have a history of cooperation between each other

Inflation and a declining economy isn't akin to a "humanitarian crisis", most people over there can well afford a few meals a day and have access to clean water. Do you even know what you are saying?

Yeah their Members of Parliament are being killed, the house of the Prime Minister razed to ground, protests in every city and people are lining up to buy the food. The currency devaluation to unprecedented level and every Sri Lankan I met in London was complaining about the worst economic crisis in their history and you think everything is fine?

Sri Lanka is among the very few countries in the world who declared bankruptcy, I hope you know that

 

[Communism]

Sri Lankan protestors do not know what they want. They say President should resign, but replace him with what? Sri Lanka's army generals are going to be no better at ruling. There is no money to conduct fresh elections. All this political instability means IMF will not quickly resolve the negotiation which will cause a further downward spiral.

When people are not willing to wait for election, anarchy will destroy the country. Civilization is based on discipline. The constitution has set rules for the population to follow. People should have the discipline to follow through and then wait for their chance to vote the government out of power.

Political Power Grows From The Barrel Of A Gun.

Sri Lanka's problems will never be solved without political responsibility being enforced by either the populace and/or any other powerful political blocs.

The reason why countries never solve their "problems" means that those "problems" are in fact features that benefit one or another political block.

The best solutions come from when a country goes through famine, as that forces the populace to confront the problems head-on.

This is why the U.S.'s primary tactic during the cold war was to give food aid to every dysfunctional country, as that makes sure that those dysfunctional countries would never fix themselves.

This is also why the U.S.'s primary tactic during the cold war was to create famines in all countries that would oppose the U.S., as that would guarantee political change.

This is a very pessimistic theory. Not something that appeals to my common sense.

I simply recommend the Sri Lankans to follow through with the set of rules that they have agreed to in their constitution. I recommend the same for all countries!
