to static agreements in light of fluid situations. India may or may not be in a position to provide certain defense and Sri Lanka may decide that it is in her best interest to prohibit certain aspects of “defense” such as RAW from operating on her shores either overtly or covertlyhttp://www.hindu.com/2009/06/05/stories/…
There is also a certain fluidity of situations in Pakistan and Afghanistan that may limit India’s long term participation. We of course wish India the best of luck with those matters but may find that less conflict driven partners are equally able to provide an extraordinary level of partnership on the topic of defense within our neighbouring structure of sovereign nations. http://www.srilankaguardian.org/2009/06/…
Even in the most developed, “democratic” nations children as young as five years old are daily being documented through different “child protection” programs that cause them to have identification badges to be able to set foot in school or other public institutions. In a situation where many 10 year olds have been exposed to arms training and indoctrination from a terrorist organization and also the fact that there are children that need to be reunified or placed these procedures are not only neccesarry but mandated. http://www.srilankaguardian.org/2009/06/…http://www.hindustantimes.com/StoryPage/…
What are the needs of Tamil people that are over and above any other citizen’s needs? The Tamil peope unlike politicians are not asking for devolution as freedoms they are asking for review and implementation of protections from the local and regional bodies such as the LTTE that have violated rights of every citizen in Sri Lanka. The structure of how full benefits reach the ordinary citizen needs to be changed because the level of entrenched corruption from 30+ years of such rule needs to be sucessfully overcome. This takes investigation and review prior to implementing devolutionary measures for the staid sake of saying that something was done. We have already learned that devolution to the PC is not adequate.
We are doing the neceassary functions such as bringing people energy that benefits each an every one of our minorities from the Tamil, to the Burgher, the Moor, the Arabs, the majority Aryans, the Mongols, the Chinese. We are bringing in a 100,000 housing units for ALL our communities, We are building addtional water supply, we are reviewing every single archane law that allows for racism and eliminating it, we are mandating that peoples can live where thay choose and we are implementing a very easy rule of order to remove non-complying politicos from their vested seats, we are dealing with corruption and waste, we are reigning in impunity by raising accountability, we are not implementing amendments without fully reviewing the ramifications, we are poromoting equal rights by ensuring that each citizen and neither a majority or minority supercede, we are allowing persons to convene in a district and implement government along a standard as long as it does not racially, ethnically, religiously or otherwise profile and restrict others from living in or traveling through the same. Persons also cannot be prohibited from leaving.
As the President so aptly states there is no more racial or ethnic profiling as we are all Sri Lankans.http://www.defence.lk/new.asp?fname=2009…http://www.news.lk/index.php?option=com_…
Isn’t this programme coming from the wrong office?
This deal must we watched by the SEC for one pending sale cannot leverage another purchase. For if we find that entities at CB are creating a sale of assets that are to benefit repayment but are not based on funds that would be a further matter for COPE and I am sure assumption of asset will be blocked. For we are negating corruption and waste.http://www.lankabusinessonline.com/fulls…http://www.lankabusinessonline.com/fulls…
