What will be the impact of US-Israel v Iran on #lka? I looked at the data to understand how supply chain disruptions will affect 🇱🇰
⛽38% of oil is imported from UAE. UAE has reduced production & is also unable to get any shipments out. CPC says we have 1 months of stocks
What is the purpose of such a tax? It's not like we grow Jasmine rice or sticky rice in Sri Lanka and local varieties are not a substitute for them either. Arbitrary tariffs make food more and more expensive - whether produced locally or not.
Rs. 280 import tax applies only to Jasmine and sticky rice : Minister clarifies

David Graeber explained that one of the ways that Neoliberalism functions is through hopelessness.
Kill our hope until we think there is no point anymore.
Lula's amazing victory shows there still is hope. We should never give up!!!

This is extremely poor. The opposition bloc is not centrist leaning and definitely not left leaning. It contains some very right wing candidates. In temrs of policy regarding Palestinians there is little difference at all
The BBC’s Middle East correspondent frames the Israeli elections as Netanyahu against “leftist” and “centrist” figures like Eisenkot, whom she describes as “softly spoken” and “lowkey”.
What she leaves out is that he’s a former general and the architect of the Dahiyeh Doctrine, which calls for disproportionate force and deliberate targeting of civilians and their infrastructure.
In what world is that left wing?

Yet again, there is no @LAUGFS gas ("kaha" cylinders, as the public calls them) in the market, unless truckloads of them were distributed yesterday, before this post. This has gone on for weeks. It is mindboggling how this is allowed to happen, time and again. Many households have only Laugfs and it is a battle for survival every few months. Some action needs to be taken. Have they ever been penalised? @WasanthaSamar15 @anil_jayantha #SriLanka

#SriLanka's proposed new NGO legislation imposes an obligation on NGOs to “align with the policies of the government” and “not engage in any activity that adversely affects the sovereignty or territorial integrity of Sri Lanka or violates the provisions of the Constitution”.
NGOs cannot “induce or cause any public disorder which affects the safety and interests of the general public”.
They must not engage in “any advocacy to support political ideologies using funds and resources of the non-governmental organisation during a period of pre-election or, unless it is an object of such non-governmental organisation”.
NGOs must also use their funds “only for the purposes it was registered” and notify the Competent Authority “prior to initiation of any crowdfunding activity”.

This is a good breakdown of a politicians assets declaration, this kind of analysis is important to combat corruption. Just FYI the Anti Corruption amendment Bill of 2026 would make such analysis a criminal offence [Clause 11(2)] monetabrief.com/news/sri-lan… (1/4)
