Unsurprising

The Tamil National Alliance (TNA) was quoted Sunday as saying the party was hopeful of reaching an understanding on power sharing with the Sri Lankan government at talks this week.

However, another Sunday Times story then quoted the TNA saying that the talks had been “postponed indefinitely”.

Apparently, the Sri Lankan ministers concerned are now involved in local government election campaigns and thus would not be available for talks.

Recall the saying ‘Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me’?

We need your support

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
