Watch the introduction to the press conference last evening by one of the participants at the press conference yesterday. She explains how they came about the formulation of the demands of the Galle Face Aragalaya. Will be posting clips of the other participants that I have.

This thread is for all those who wanted #GotaGoHome but are now asking Sajith, or anyone from opposition for that matter to form govt while GR remains (in this instance I do not consider Ranil as part of the opposition but a mere appendage of the save the Rajapaksas corp 🙄). 2/n
If for instance Sajith takes PMship now he will be in charge of running IMF program. He will have do this with a 20A empowered RAJAPAKSA President who has wide ranging powers over a powerless PM. In the meantime Namal will become the leader of the opposition.

Update on @IMFNews talks.
Not best news from IMF front. The initial talks have not gone according to plan where 🇱🇰 was expecting IMF to agree to a Rapid Financing Instrument (RFI) upto our eligibility of approx. $1b.

IMF while understanding our inability to provide a detailed account of making our debt sustainable until advisors get into action, have asked for a fiscal plan (tax ⬆️& exp cuts) in the interim to at least consider the RFI.
