Mr Mahinda Rajapakse`s Chilling Achievement of 2006.
[ Sri Lanka`s timeline for 2006 is a chilling one dominated as it is by assassinations, attempted assassinations, terrorist massacres, abduction of the young and the old, aerial bombings, artillery duels and massive displacements of innocent civilians. According to Daily Mirror 954 servicemen, including 221 naval personnel, were killed in the year. The paper put the LTTE`s losses at 2097. But the LTTE said it had lost 818. About 250, 000 civilians, mainly Tamils, were displaced. 15,000 Tamil fled to India. ]-HT He also managed to raise the inflation to 19.3% in Dec by printing more currency notes to pay for his extra expenditures. He also raised defence spending by 45% to buy Pakistani `stones` and grounded MiG 27 jets. Will he or the International Community urge him to let Tamils get enough food to eat and medicine to treat themselves? Will he let Tamils visit their loved ones caged within the barbed wire fences? Why couldn`t the elitist leadership of Sri Lanka find a solution during its 5 decades of ethnic conflict? |
