I am not able to update Manjaro, the update command with pacman gives me the error:
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ ~]$ sudo pacman -Syuu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
error: failed to synchronize all databases (no servers configured for repository)
on searching I saw that it could be a mirrors issue and tried updating it, but got the error:
[■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ ~]$ sudo pacman-mirrors --fasttrack
::INFO Downloading mirrors from Manjaro
::INFO => Mirror pool: https://repo.manjaro.org/mirrors.json
::INFO => Mirror status: https://repo.manjaro.org/status.json
::INFO Using custom mirror file

Then I thought that since I recently moved from India to the US, I can resolve this by switching the mirrors to another country but still ran into:
[■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ ~]$ sudo pacman-mirrors --country United_States --fasttrack
[sudo] password for jo:

Not sure if I proceeded in the right direction. I desperately need to update my packages. Any help with this will be appreciated.
