A Brief Colonial History Of Ceylon(SriLanka)
Systematic Genocide of Tamils
Maithripala Sirisena is President. Ranil Wickremesinghe is Prime Minister. The SLFP has the Parliament. The UNP has the Cabinet. For now, everything looks smooth, indeed smoother than it was from 2001 to 2003. The centre doesn’t always hold, true, and things can fall apart. But for the sake of stability and the 100-day program, everyone’s toeing party line and maintaining status quo. What doesn’t get mentioned, however, is that inasmuch as coalitions can be formed, they can also break apart. That this “breaking apart” gets scripted into MOUs, we know. That MOUs can be breached, we know. We can’t predict everything, though.
