What Do We Do With Our Horrible Past?
By Namini Wijedasa -June 29, 2013

Dear friends,
Thank you for having me here. It is truly an honour. I must confess at
the outset that I don’t have grandiose solutions to offer you; only
small hints.
I am a journalist. I have covered the conflict for the most part of my career. And now I cover the absence of war. I don’t have any book learning in conflict resolution or in reconciliation. What I speak about today is what picked up on the field, from interacting for many years with fellow Sri Lankans. I have discovered one dominant truth. Reconciliation is not rocket science.
