What we are learning from this Article is they cannot fool ALL the people all the Time (1948-2009+??)

1. According to ICG:
"That tells you both how arrogant they are and the degree of contempt they have for international institutions and their own institutions as well."

2. Still, the conscience has now spoken, in spite of the rosy picture that has been painted to the world:

UN is becoming a joke. UN and the international community did nothing to stop the massacre of more than 40,000 people (Bishop of Mannar questions where are 140,000 people after the war). Now, same Sri Lankan government is trying to fool the UN and the international community again. Could we really believe that UN will give justice to Tamil people? Tamil people and land of those native people are being taken away and the genocide is happening now. if UN can't stop it now, then it will be too late in a year or two. thanks for the article, may be there is still little hope left on the humanity!

I think things will get worse in Sri Lanka, in the world do not have a slow manner quite understand. This is a small country - only 20 million people - now is not the war. Deaths, especially compared with 2009, after the end of the war, a low figure. But it is still worrying.

Thank you Angilee Shah for bringing out more TRUTH to the world.

Please see the 'Breaking news':

Human Rights: In Sri Lanka face the problem of his civil war. It is small country and population very small. Natural beauty of Sri Lanka is so good.
