The 14 Sri Lankans residing in the Sudan who were evacuated due to the prevailing crisis arrived at the Bandaranaike International Airport today, the Foreign Affairs Ministry said.

They were received and welcomed by the Director General of the Foreign Affairs Ministry Consular Division Sisira Senaviratne.

Their evacuation was facilitated with the coordination of the Foreign Ministry and the generous assistance of the Saudi Arabian Government.

The Embassies of Sri Lanka in Riyadh and Cairo and the Consulate General of Sri Lanka in Jeddah have been working with the authorities of the Royal Government of Saudi Arabia and the Government of India to evacuate the Sri Lankans living in Khartoum who had requested to be rescued.

This reflects the damage done unto our beloved country by the Ranil rajapaksa criminal syndicate. What a shame when country has 99 pct literacy and bieng one of the best nations in educational level of its citizens in the region, the economy , education and health services are now 4th world at par with Burundi, Angola etc. This is what happens to a country when self-serving imbaciles are elected as leaders. They destroyed in 10 years , what took 100 years to build.

How about the SriLankan work force in Uganda working for the rajapaksa conglomerate? They may have to be repatriated soon when their bosses end up in Wellikada.

@Robin Banks, what has this got to do with Rajapakshas. If you are saying about the country, it was mainly JVP and UNP that destroyed the country for a number of years and SLPP took advantage during their rule but there was sone visible development and good things done. If UNP was in power, the LTTE war would still be going on. Dont ever forget that.
