I was born to the X- Generation, since leaving school in 1983 never saw a future in my country. The conflict in Sri Lanka dominated our lives for the last 30 years. The continuation of this conflict is of no use to anybody. The people of Sri Lanka will be overwhelmed to see an end to this misery and seeing their lives return to normalcy. So countries like USA, UK and France should support to instill peace in our country, and the best way is to support the democratically elected government to establish that responsibility.
It will give enormous opportunity for the Sinhala, Tamil and other communities: to send their children to school without fear, to have a decent environment to live and most of all to end the anguish in every man and woman who has gone through enormous suffering.
As the International community, your objective should be to promote peace and stability around the world. The Sri Lankan government has maintained a strong and steady focus on ending the conflict to bring stability to our lives, but the western powers and media have trodden back and forth on this issue. That has certainly not helped anybody. Powerful media like yourself – CNN should take a strong and consistent stand and support what is right by every human being in the world, that is THE RIGHT TO LIVE WITHOUT TERROR. Whether it’s in USA, UK, France, Afghanistan, Iraq or Sri Lanka, that should be your goal.
