Coin Burea - Get's some shit on here for being biased. From their recent video on Sri Lanka, i'm not seeing any bias

Sri Lanka Report

This report, based on my last 18months life there, is about as unbiased as I've ever seen. I can't speak for their other videos but I can only hope their others are as balanced as this. Here is why I believe this is fair...

​

I'm a Brit and just left Sri Lanka after living there for 18 months building the new Terminal 2 at BIA, because of the danger. Sri Lankans say "We love foreigners and we need your USD!! You are safe!!!", not true and here's why...

Images you haven't seen in the press, oddly!, are of three Rajapaksa linked/owned hotels that were completely gutted in the riots. Also, on Negombo beach road a popular restaurant, also Rajapaksa linked, was totally trashed.

I'm clearly not related to Rajapaksa but, taking 3 hours to get home from BIA to Negombo, just 10km, due to the protests was ridiculous - but I understand why they did the protests and they needed too! However, having seen these hotels, one right around the corner from my house, being trashed and photos of the other 2 along with one of our local restaurants we realised the situation was bad.

We then also realised that there was no recovery plan and it was obvious it was going to get worse so, I handed in my notice. All my Sri Lankan colleagues then told me I was mad to quit and we foreigners would be fine, none the less, my families safety is paramount. A week before we left one of my "foreigner" work mates was attacked whilst coming home with a small bag of shopping. No serious injuries just his food stolen, but a CLEAR signal that poverty is exploding and, with no work available, people will do what they need to do to feed their families and you cannot blame them.

There is still NO clear recovery plan and it is going to get worse, a lot worse. Crime will also explode. I hear from my ex-colleagues that the new Terminal 2 at BIA has now been frozen and most of them are now looking for work. The Raja's and Ranil are absolute scum to have created this disgraceful and disgusting situation.

I wish all the best to the Sri Lankan people and hope they get the leadership they WANT (not Ranil!) and a brighter future and soon.
