| By Laksiri Fernando
(May 18, 2014, Sydney, Sri Lanka Guardian) I write this with Mixed Feelings, believing in some enormous opportunities and mindful of Problems or difficulties.

Let me begin with by commenting on the termination of the war in May 2009, as it is from that lamppost that we count the five years.
