Sri Lanka News Updates with Discussions

Unforutunately, what you are saying now is totally opposite to what you said before Bharatha's killing. You have lost some credibility because of that.

Right or wrong, that foundation was LLRC and it was done in 3 years. So why do you complain?

Did your government find a solution to Tamil issues? As a reasonable person (I still think you are a) do not Tamil people like dignity same as you and me?

Tamils began to think that they were to be superior to Sinhala people.

IF Sri Lanka is bad for them why don't they go to Tamilnadu, their mother land ?

You have called on the government to take the UNHRC Resolution seriously. In your opinion has the government discarded the recommendations?
A: While I have urged that the Resolution and the game-plan behind it must be taken with the utmost seriousness, I do not mean complying with it.
I am opposed to complying with the Resolution precisely because it is unfairly critical of the LLRC and urges us to go beyond it, which I do not think we should do or even consider. It is still too early to conclude that the government has discarded the recommendations, though it is perfectly in order to discard the UNHRC Resolution's recommendations if we implement our own LLRC's recommendations, as most recently urged by the Ambassador of the Russian Federation to Sri Lanka.
Q: You have warned that unless Sri Lanka takes the recommendations seriously the countries who supported it would take further action. What course of action do you see them taking?
A: If we do not implement the LLRC recommendations in time as distinct from implementing the UNHRC Resolution I see an interim course of action, leading to a far more serious endgame, driven by a combination of Tamil Diaspora pressure, Tamil Nadu dynamics and uni-polar strivings in a new cold war in Asia and the Indian Ocean. Initially, the trap that will be sprung is to allege that we have proven as a state, beyond reasonable doubt, that we are unwilling or incapable, or both, to implement our own domestic reform recommendations, dialogue successfully on ethnic reconciliation and take steps on accountability. That will be the springboard for an international investigative and accountability mechanism, the recommendations of which will be sent to New York and even legislatures elsewhere. If we do not implement the LLRC report in time I am more worried about the worst-case: an R2P scenario, namely, a political vacuum in the North, which opens the way for protest and agitation which may be met by force, which will in turn, trigger external intervention, or ethnic polarisation resulting in violent unrest and the use of lethal force, which will also trigger intervention. If anyone thinks this is fanciful scaremongering on my part, I would only remind them that we once experienced something similar, in 1987.

it is a complex they are born with.

Unforutunately, what you are saying now is totally opposite to what you said before Bharatha's killing. You have lost some credibility because of that. Consistency is very important

CHARLIE does not know the recent history of Tamils
