For the past six months, Sri Lankans have gathered en masse to protest against the government. The administration’s bad governance and mismanagement of the economy have driven the country into an economic crisis. As a result, people are suffering from malnutrition, fuel shortages and daily blackouts, and the government cannot import necessities like medicine.
While the protests have made significant progress, Fernando says that without rebuilding the rule of law, Sri Lanka will not recover from the deep economic, social and political turmoil it is currently in.
The crisis has affected everyone. People of every political ideology, age, and ethnic background have gathered to protest the government.
