Comments by "K `" (@user-jt3dw6vv4x) on "Sri Lanka's President And Prime Minister To Resign After Sweeping Protests" video.
When the majority of people are protesting against one man (the president) and when you have your own ministers and other politicians in the government distance themselves from you (the president), you really think that's indicative of the people's mandate?

@conservos2349 Respect to you for admitting you don't understand the full situation but I think they're just reporting the fact. It would be wrong to say the group of men and women who stormed the Capitol because they couldn't accept the results of a election to be described as nothing more than "radicals". They couldn't accept the election results, that's the reality.

@conservos2349 The case in Sri Lanka is very, very different though. Men, women, boys and girls stormed the presidential palace after their entire way of life changed so drastically that they couldn't afford to eat, had to skip meals, couldn't go to school and were forced to accept a police curfew which had been deemed "illegal" and a violation of human rights while the president of the country stole all of their money, used violence against them to subdue the student protests earlier in the year and was living comfortably in the presidential palace. A country that was once an upper middle income nation and far richer than many of its neighbours like India to deteriorate so drastically in a matter of 3 years is nothing like what happened in the US on January 6, 2021. These people were ordinary middle class people who had to start skipping meals and had no access to electricity because of their president.
