    They didn’t kick out that minority who ran racist businesses, they kicked out all the 288k people who reneged on their “duty” to go kill ukrainians and die for putin’s aspirations.

      Maybe instead of living the peaceful life for a few years until the war ends, they’ll have to go hold their own country accountable.

        It would be ideal, but this is not something that can be solved with votes and protests. If I were in their shoes, I certainly wouldn’t be the brave one who would give his life to rebel against tyranny.
        It’s not their responsibility either, they just had the bad luck to be born there.

        Easy words to type, difficult to live. Try considering the entirety of someone’s situation before prescribing their actions.

      The fact that unregistered illegal Russian businesses had become an actual problem there indicates that Sri Lanka - a very poor nation that almost went bankrupt last year - is not equipped to deal with an influx of that size.

      If you want someone to take on 288 thousand refugees I agree with you, but it shouldn’t be Sri Lanka.

      Tourism minister Harin Fernando told Daily Mirror that the ministry has been receiving complaints of some Russian tourists running unregistered and illegal businesses in the southern part of the country.
