Censorship and media manipulation have remained large in Sri Lanka as well as the educational levels have been kept low.

One year after Tsunami many people are still living in tents and despite some $3 billion donations the general state of the Island is still more than only sad with only very few visible improvements here and there.

Definitely the future of Sri Lanka looks extremely shaky with gun slingers at both sides seeking conflict to improve their own political situation.

The LTTE Tigers would only have very few reasons to compile money from Tamils who live abroad in case of a peace tendency.

At the same time Mahinda Rajapaksa can count on stronger solidarity within his bizarre coalition of Nationalists, Marxists and Monks so that war seems to be highly welcomed at both sides.
