Too late. Nothing they can do anymore.Ya'll Nibbiars Sri Lanka again begging for Fuel on debts. The Prime Minister of Sri Lanka says the country is out of petrol. And Out of food reserves and petrol. Soon it’ll be Egypt, Tunisia, Ethiopia, Pakistan
Sri Lanka down to last day of petrol, new prime minister says
"Sri Lanka's new prime minister says the country is down to its last day of petrol as it faces its worst economic crisis in more than 70 years. In a televised address, Ranil Wickremesinghe said the nation urgently needs $75m (£60.8m) of foreign currency in the next few days to pay for essential imports. He said the central bank will have to print money to pay government wages. Mr Wickremesinghe also said state-owned Sri Lankan Airlines may be privatised.
The island nation's economy has been hit hard by the pandemic, rising energy prices, and populist tax cuts. A chronic shortage of foreign currency and soaring inflation had led to a severe shortage of medicines, fuel and other essentials."
They are broke. Can't buy anything anymore.
