I know this country having visited when the civil war was still going on. Today it is even in a worse crisis. Their currency has collapsed and they cannot buy essential fuel and goods that they need to feed the population. They have stormed the presiential palace and have now set fire to it.
More significantly, they are turning to Russia for a favour on their oil needs. They are a member of our commonwealth, and we, tand the government seem to be sitting on hands.
We help a non commonwealth country like Ukraine, but when it comes to Sri Lanka, complete radio silence. If they are are eventually tied up with Putin in understandable desperation, this will have significant impact on both our commonwealth and the region in general.
