The Bishop of Jaffna called on Sri Lanka's new government to take action on re-building homes for the displaced, rebuilding destroyed places of religious worship, resolving the issues of Tamil fisherman and an answer to the calls of families of the disappeared.
Responding to Bishop Thomas Sountharanayagam's, Sri Lanka's prime minister, asked the bishop to "be patient."
"Please be patient. We cannot bring a solution immediately, but give us more time and we will resolve the people's problems," Mr Wickremasinghe said, calling for time and space.

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
