It is good if these parties openly commit to devolution of power!!!
Then they cant go and backstab other political parties if and in the south, when (only god knows) they put forward a solution based on devolution, which can lead to permenant solution.
Since 1948 all political parties have been backstabibg each other and succedded in making Sri Lanka a failed state, now on the way to a terrorist banned state......
Something has got to change with the pressure from donors all over the world that the country now depends on its mere survival!!!! |

Mentality of two communities are come to play their role under the circumstances.
After thirty years of fighting, for Tamils to accept nothing less than what their saviors fought for will be something very hard to live with.
On the other hand independent country and the pride of the sovereignty of the Sri Lanka are the unbendable factors when it comes to, hard to or impossible to give up principles for Sinhalese and other minorities
In the future even we get a federal solution to Sri Lankan problem, political leaders should know the neediness of few decades to calm down the communities and existence of threat for the Sri Lankan sovereignty. (Mr. Ranil Wikremasinghe forgot these things when he signed the ongoing peace treaty and Mr. Bush forgot or didn't get any idea what will happen after winning the military war in Iraq. Normal people are the ones who are paying penalty). Rushing in is not the way to solve this problem.

Its true there are scars of war... worse than that I worry about this thinking along the racial lines for everything is even more disasterous, even in the future iffff and wheeeen the problem is resolved.
Devolution of power to regions is good; it would encourage people in the region to work towards development to suit the needs of their region with clear understanding of the region's requirements rather than being imposed with unsuitable solutions by the centre; its good for Hambantota, Kandy, Jaffna or Batticaloe; obviously people in the region will look after the interests of their culture religion and language requirements as applicable to the individual region.....
For thelast fifty years all the thinking has been all along the racial lines; political parties for different races, constitution along the racial lines, economic decisions along the racial lines etc etc
This is the major stumbling block!!! To pretend or not know the real reasons will not help tackle the real issues......... |

Sri Lanka is one of the smallest countries in the world and the peripheries are also comparably very close to the governing center, I am telling this because I had the opportunities to live in the one of the biggest countries of the world and fastest country of the world.
If we see carefully we'll see there are some countries, which situated under few time zones and some times whole administration is sleeping when the one end of the country starts their working day, and I know few people in Japan who travels, 520km to their working place every working day,
But here in Sri Lanka we don't have these difficulties because our country is so small, but it has her own unique problems like underdeveloped areas and still to develop infrastructure in the rural areas, if I may put it in simple way we are not developed enough to face the needs of the peripheral populations.
Most of the people in the Sri Lanka are complaining about the unevenness to the Tamil areas. Here I would like to point out the time of the unevenness took place and the isolation and the devastation took place in the 80's 90's and now 2000's. If I may explain, in the early 80's or even before the 80's it was even problems for all the rural Sri Lankans people, because Sri Lanka was emerging from a colonized ruling, then came the war and both parties actively destroyed the once normal north, in the mean time other parts of the country took the path of slight development and made sort of a development.
I heard that Sri Lanka situated on the finest crude oil belt on the world, and one day this devastating war one way or the other will come to an end and all the money we are meaninglessly spending on this war will available for other things, maybe not our generation but our future ones may get to capitalized on the natural resources.
Proper way of devolution of the power will bring the harmony most of people dreamed of but couldn't or failed to get their glimpsed at.

'The co-chairs condemn the continued and systematic ceasefire violations by government of Sri Lanka and LTTE,' it added.
'The co-chairs particularly condemn the LTTE for initiating hostilities from heavily populated areas and the government of Sri Lanka for firing into such vulnerable areas and killing and wounding innocent civilians.'
Nothing else, Hmmmm.
