Maybe, just maybe, Colombo bubble that preaches patience and incrementalism to the #Tamils ,will now start to think the system itself is wrong. It requires dismantling & starting over.Bring the political stability which is a requisite for economic stability. #SriLankaProtests

@Eelapalan Don’t raise the hopes. They are incapable of looking at the root causes (ethnic strife - Sinbud exclusivity) or to find remedies (reformulating the state) but want to undertake window dressings (changing the rulers).

🧵1. On 18 July 2009, a mere two months after the end of the war in #SriLanka, a team of exiled
progressive #Sinhala journalists and #Tamil journalists came together and established @JDS.

The forest was shrinking
but the trees kept voting for the axe
for the axe was clever and convinced the trees
that because his handle was made of wood
he was one of them.
(Turkish proverb) Thank you, @paulocoelho, for sharing the quote.

🚨TG VIEW: Sri Lanka’s leadership contest is a farce

Whilst many in the South seem satisfied with the opportunity to have a new leader; for Tamils the dismal choice of candidates is yet further proof that Colombo is incapable of reform.

That’s why federal arrangement is needed, every Tamil aspirations struggles questions will be seen as undemocratic cause of low numbers?.. Gota was democratically elected and Tamils voted against,their votes mean nothing and no democracy or “people’s power”to Tamils #srilanka

@RW_UNP @akeenan23 For God's sake please resign as PM and let Parliament chose an interim President, PM and Government. Paving the way for General Elections. Then only foreign governments and the diaspora can assist Sri Lanka. @UN_HRC also can have War Crimes Investigations without obstructions.

முல்லைத்தீவு விசுவமடு எரிபொருள் நிரப்பு நிலையத்தில் இராணுவத்தினரின் தாக்குதலுக்குள்ளான இளைஞர்களை கிளிநொச்சி மாவட்ட பொது வைத்தியசாலையில் இன்றைய தினம் நேரில் சென்று பார்வையிட்டேன்.

இதன் போத�� இளைஞர்கள் தாங்கள் இராணுவத்தினரால் காட்டுமிராண்டித்தனமாக தாக்கப்பட்டதாவும் தெரிவித்தனர்.

[Tamil National People's Front @TnpfOrg]

After the pact was publicly torn by the Prime Minister organized Sinhala thugs— abetted by vitriolic anti-Tamil sentiments fuelled by Buddhist monks and intellectuals— escalated their violence culminating in a sustained, organized country-wide pogrom against Tamils in May 1958.
