I am very concerned by announcements by several @UN member countries to withdraw from the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention.
We must uphold humanitarian norms & accelerate mine action.
The protection of innocent lives depends on our collective action & commitment.

In a bid to gentrify Galle Face Green in #colombo, the iconic isso vadai cart vendors haven't been allowed to vend from the seafront since February 4, 2024. To date they have been vending from the pavement & are told their permanent eviction is imminent.

On Feb 5th, Ports Authority officials told the Galle Face isso vadai vendors they couldn't operate their carts along the seafront anymore. They say it's gotten crowded with unauthorised vendors but vendors with passes who have sold there for decades are also blocked. (1/6) #lka
