Is the government serious about the probelms faced by Tamils.

The truth is that the people of Sri Lanka(SL) liked to practice democracy, but it stopped with the democratic process of casting votes to elect their Law makers and the head of state.

But, the elected governments of SL did not perform and so failed to bring equality, dignity, justice and freedom, to ALL the people, for the past 68 years, is the absolute truth.

“Majoritarian Apartheid”, racism and repression by the Sinhalese caused a civil war, as correctly identified by the UN. Resistance against these acts by the indigenous Tamils, caused the civil war and NOT teorrorism.

Obviously, the presentation made by Mangala Samaraweera, Foreign Minister of SL in Geneva this week, is incorrect and misleading.

He failed to show to the International Community as to how Tamils of North and East have been restored to equality, dignity, justice and freedom in SL, as a result of “good governance”.
