A Brewing Storm: Why the Government Must Now Move with Caution

There’s a rising current in the air — and we’ve seen it before.

The same YouTubers. The same digital actors. The same voices who orchestrated regime change against Gotabaya Rajapaksa are stirring again. Politicians are angry over arrests. Sections of the military feel cornered. People are struggling under the weight of living costs. And nationalists are uneasy over foreign agreements.

These frustrations don’t need to unite. They only need to collide.

And behind them, as always, are embassies, media channels, and foreign-funded platforms waiting for a trigger.

But this time, nationalists will defend the constitutional order.
Not because everything is perfect — but because we know what’s waiting on the other side. We’ve seen the script before. And we know regime change doesn’t erupt randomly. It erupts when the President steps off the foreign script and stands with the people.

That’s when narratives twist the truth.
That’s when media flips the story.
And that’s when the protests begin — not from the ground, but from the algorithm.

This government is not to blame. It is navigating a broken system. It is young, vulnerable, and surrounded by powerful old networks. But that’s exactly why it must move with caution.

Because the storm forming now is not just about policy — it’s about timing. And the moment it moves too fast without anchoring the people, the trap will close.

We don’t want collapse. We want course correction.
And those in power must now realize:
Survival in this system is not about speed — it’s about knowing where the landmines are.
