The LLRC Report: Foundation for a new beginning in 2012?
January 7, 2012
by Rajan Philips
By a curious coincidence, the LLRC Report was tabled in parliament and released electronically on 16 December 2011, the 40th anniversary of the end of the war of liberation of Bangladesh. Sri Lanka’s war started and ended quite differently, even though the birth of Bangladesh in 1971, after nine months of violent labour and India’s caesarian intervention, was a powerful demonstrational impetus to the movement for Tamil Eelam. The LTTE that usurped the Eelam movement and devoured Tamil politics is now gone, gone much more violently than it arrived. The defeat of the LTTE has not ended Sri Lanka’s predicaments. The government is unable to shake off calls to account for what happened during the war and to demonstrate what it will do after the war. The LLRC Report can be the foundation for positive actions that are long overdue after the war. The next steps in 2012 are the responsibility of the Rajapaksa government and no one else’s.Read more...
