Again web62.com is sending out best wishes for peace
and prosperity from Sri Lanka, where the fear of a return
to civil war has been increased drastically in recent
hours.
In the past over 60.000 people have become victims
of a political conflict between the Sinhalese majority
and the Tamil minority which is seeking their own separate
state.
A confederational solution like in other parts of the
world has so far not been able to convince the fighting
tribes, whose exchange of atrocities has now a long
tradition that seems to make a constructive dialogue
almost impossible.
Just recently the aggressive new President Mahinda
Rajapaksa has been elected even by the support of the
Tamil population, which had not supported the peace
orientated Ranil Wickramasinghe, who one had been able
to establish the meanwhile fragile truce.
