We stand ever steadfast in our solidarity with the people of #SriLanka in their unyielding struggles against undemocratic and repressive governance, for human rights, and for a better, people-centered and sustainable future.
We strongly demand debt cancellation for #Pakistan, whose people have been staggering under the weight of unjust debt and related burdens including recent waves of economic prescriptions by the IMF.
Happening now: Activists from @AsianPeoplesMvt in Manila gathered to show #SolidaritywithPakistan people who are bearing the brunt of debt, humanitarian, and climate crises. Intense rainfall and floods left 33 million in dire need of urgent relief and protection. #CanceltheDebt
Before the floods, public debt was already unsustainable: $242Bn in 2021, $7 billion more than 2020. $5Bn paid to foreign lenders in Jul-Dec 2021 alone. Continued debt service will divert funds for emergency relief and climate resilience. #CanceltheDebt#SolidaritywithPakistan
