Ok, the War is over, we're at peace, generations born within the last 25 years can claim 0 bombs in the inner cities and countrysides for the first time. We're happy ain't we?
Well, just a reminder, the War never really ends when issues that precipitated it remain unsolved, or at least when negotiations to solve them have not been inspired. What is the degree of good we derive from peace when the welfare of the people continues to be abused, very marginal if any. What is the guarantee of lasting peace if compensations and compromises and an improved relationship is not emphasized? Zilch I tell you, People of Mandela.
Let us not make the mistake we so often make, forgetting the intrinsic reponsibilities of our national lives and obligations. So we say to those in Sri-Lankan Authority, this is the time not only to clear the debris of War, but to strenghten National Reconciliation, to promote unity and a common destiny for majorities and monorities alike. In R words, this is the time for renewal, reconciliation, revival, revamp and reconstruction.
We the People of Mandela in the spirit of Madiba the great one, who brought peace to people of majorities and minorities through dialogue, send half congratulations to all peace loving Sri-Lanka's for the victory that pacifies them, but we ask the government to effectively congratulate the people with the machinery of good governance, national cohesiveness and a sense of affection for all tribes especially minorities. Only when this is achieved would we send full congratulations, let's watch on!
