US will support a resolution that provides an opportunity for the Government of Sri Lanka to describe what it intends to do to implement the LLRC s recommendations and advance reconciliation, as well as address accountability, human rights and democracy concerns.


Well done Mr.Blake...

Sri Lankans are fools, so MR fools them as he wishes.

But he can not fool everybody.

Increasing number of crashes in SLAF, third one in last few months, points to foul play by some elements within its defense circles rather than mechanical failures.

The MIG-27 has to be replaced with something more advanced. Perhaps all the MIG 27s will have to be replaced, so will the people be told and then hundreds of millions or billions will have to be spent and that would mean some body will collect a few cool millions.

Won't have to wait for long

Why Sri Lankans crash those old Migs even when there is no war in Sri Lanka ?
