Sri Lanka fuel crisis: 'Only God can help us now' – BBC News
Sri Lankans are facing fuel and food shortages, combined with steep price rises, with the country in the midst of its worst economic crisis in living memory.
Millions are having to endure daily power cuts and queue for hours to get basics like cooking gas and diesel.
The BBC’s South Asia Correspondent Rajini Vaidyanathan met one family in the southern city of Tangalle.

This food crisis was caused by the world economic forum that forced them to reduce Nitrogen fertilizer use. They are doing the same thing in Canada, Australia and the Netherlands. They want to kill us! We must reject this nonsense!
Fuel prices increased with effect from 3 am today by CPC:
New prices per litre would be as follows:
Octane 92 – Rs 420
Octane 95 – Rs 450
Auto diesel – Rs 400,
Super diesel – Rs 445

See below Mahinda Rajapaksha extended family fake acting as to people’s favour during prior government’s 1 week petrol shortage situation.
Rajapaksha’s entire & extended family, along with their gang together ruined sri lanka’s economy with worst corruption ever in SL history.
පරණ රඟපෑමක් බලන්න. රටේ සතියකට petrol නැව පරක්කු වුනාම යහපාලනේදී මහින්ද කරපු ඡඩ දර්ශනය.
පර රාජපක්ෂ රෙජීමය ඇතුළු පිරිසට ශාප ම වේවා සදහටම!

Peace be upon you. ❤

Seen the latest news on BBC saying that there will be no sales of fuel for two weeks and only medical, food transport and busses can access it. I had vaguely hoped by now we would see fuel issues start to settle so the Sri Lankan people would be able to start to recover. It’s heart breaking to see locals suffering.
😭😭😭😭😭

Sri lanka fuel queue in welipenna area . 😥😥😥 https://youtu.be/AoTIRd7qr5Y
In India no government employees are working, particularly in Tamiladu. For getting a death certificate . I am in a condition to run for more than 2 years. No court and higher authorities are working without bribery.. without delay, every month end, they get salary, which is paid from public taxes . Useless & foolish fellows – they kill human times . President, Prime Minister, Chief Minister of Tamiladu, India no one works .. All are extremely cheating people. All are extremely worst people, including Courts. All politicians , police, Courts are great thieves
It maybe a good thing not to have power to watch TV..to much garbage
The main reason for the bankruptcy of Sri Lanka is that politicians are stealing the resources of the country and pocketing large sums of money from foreign countries. The rulers run all the projects as they get commissions. Food and beverage prices are skyrocketing day by day. There has been no positive response from the authorities. They are still hoping to steal another dollar.
still trying to get an understanding with what happened in sri Lanka
Same thing we here in the philippines endured in the early 80s, 12 hour rotating brownouts, double digit inflation, high unemployment rate, huge foreign debt but we continued on now we’re ok. Sio hang on sri lanka, storms always passes. Soon things will get better
As a Asian people as a Timorese I’m so sorry to this tough situation faced by our brothers and sisters from there, if we were a rich country or I were a rich person I will put my hand to there,, but be patient there is Always have way of solving,
Me and my family will pray for your country, I believe that someday you will gain back the past harmony that u have ever built before.
God bless you .,🤝🙏😥💜
Be like Sri lanka people f**k All the corruption people
Rajapaksas brothers destroyed Sri Lanka. They are the biggest thieves in the world. They should be punished for this
God won’t help ya this time 😉
Tamils can help Sri Lanka only if the Sri Lankan Sinhala majority agrees to abolish the predatory constitution and move for a confederation government setup. Sinhalese should recognise the self-determination of Tamils.
Conspiracy
Let’s go shri Lanka!!! Let’s go Albania!!! Makes us Americans feel shame!!! Fight and claim what rightfully belongs to you and your people!!! God bless us all!!!!
"Only God can help us now" is just such a defeatist attitude. If you wait for your imaginary friend, you will be left sorely disappointed
Hello Sri lanka, Please use solar equipments.
May Allah protect such countries like Srilanka or Pakistan.
Quit oil already

Yes everyone loves Sri Lanka and it’s wonderful beauty and people…but when troubles come every body fucks off back to Europe leaving them …. hypocritical
2 Chronicles 7:14KJV
ISAIAH 45:22KJV
Asia and Africa are suffering die to fuel Hike. Meanwhile Europe and USA are busy lecturing countries that’s buying cheap russian oil. The west can afford to buy high priced fuel from middle East not asian and African countries. These western countries want rest of us to suffer coz one of their white country is attacked. If not for the megalomaniac ruling china, Asia alone can take on the west by partnering with Russia. Add african contries and the west can be brought to their knees.
My country is now in a very difficult situation. People have no petrol or gas. Some people don’t have food. This is a time when people are under a lot of pressure. The reason for this is the corrupt political power of the rulers and the theft of the rulers. People living in our country know that better than you who look at it from the outside. We feel this very much. If there were competent and disciplined rulers in our country, such calamities would not have happened to our country.
Beautiful world without transport.No more noise pollution.
No, God cannot help either.
Do your country srilanka good do your country srilanka work good do your country srilanka work right I am saying this to country srilanka people
I thinking mixing with India will help them
World tax stop war
Pajak dunia
1 %
Setiap investor yang menanam kan modal di suatu negara ( pengusaha di setiap negara ) wajib di kenakan pajak dunia. Pajak – pajak ini lah yang akan merangkum kan populasi manusia di mana – mana ( Human free apartemen ). Dan mengenai tendernya kita pilih negara dalam kondisi krisis ( Ekonomi ) ter parah, contohnya Yunani.
Asia ( food ), Middle east ( Energi ) end Europa ( Divlopmeant )
It’s time we walk together
Waktunya berjalan bersama
Use bicycles like how we Dutch do it..
29 “Immediately after the distress of those days
“‘the sun will be darkened,
and the moon will not give its light;
the stars will fall from the sky,
and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’[b](AD)
30 “Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth[c] will mourn(AE) when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven,(AF) with power and great glory.[d] 31 And he will send his angels(AG) with a loud trumpet call,(AH) and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.

As a teenager who lives in Sri Lanka , I am really grateful for every each single person who fight for our future. And I hope everything will be ok and we will get a chance to have a beautiful life when we get older. And also I hope adults will be more careful when they are voting as it highly affect for the future generation.😥😥😥
As Sri Lankan who is earning foreign currency for the country the real threat we are facing is equal to the situation in Equatorial Guinea as below.

Sri Lanka is not exactly in poverty. The government treasury account balance is zero due to the corruption & deliberate mismanagement of the politicians. even though the country’s infrastructure is frustrating the people from moving forward, the people are yet capable of establishing our stand back to the level of a developing country as it was. The country’s treasury is robbed/sold by the Rajapaksha dynasty. which is the reason behind the cabinet was stepped down and even the opposition did not take positions even when they are offered to them.
1. Debt trap of China: China cannot recover its loans back and it cannot be called a trap unless the other entity is trying to lead us to a trap by switching the place of China. The real problem with the Chinese investments is all of those projects were timely unwanted failing projects hosted by the Rajapakshas to earn bribery and corruption purposes of their own benefit selling out the country into debt. That is the reason behind president does not wish to step down even when he is exempted from handling this hard crisis. He is still attempting to get more loans from anyone making people incapable of earning for themselves.
2. Before the tax deductions in these 20 years they destroyed all self-standing top business organizations and overtook them into their patriots or their families. The tax deductions were for their sake and their supporter’s sake. They did not reduce taxes on people’s basic needs and infrastructure.
3. They continue to deliberately mismanage the fuel crisis, tourism industry, and electricity to weaken the ordinary people’s ability to provide for them so they can get loans in the name of their poverty. They trying to keep the ordinary people from overthrowing the government. That is why they even use police brutality on people at filling stations on top of the fuel crisis.
Overall, they are still trying to run the treachery to sell & rob the common people of the country using media politics. They managed it internally for the past 20 years now they are trying to do it in the international community by selling the name of the country. They do understand the IMF dream will surely see through this. But they are selling it to the international community to trap other loans from other countries selling the hope of the IMF. The people of Sri Lanka are yet capable of seeing through the crisis, but the regime of criminals holding the government will not let them through. This is a country dying for a maximum of 500-1000 groups of people called the politicians and their affiliates. The problem is nobody has ever seen a country without a group of politicians. If we eliminate these politicians the international community will find it difficult to recognize Sri Lanka as a Country. And there is no country that can import politicians too. If any international mediation can control the country’s justice system transparently and effectively this will be the best human aid we can bring to the country. There are lots of Sri Lankan private investors capable and willing to solve the problem of the country if they can be protected from the current politics.
China Is very cunning and quietly trying to control Sri Lanka. China like to manipulate every where.
