Action, not words is needed - paper [TamilNet, February 03, 2006 20:43 GMT] The Sri Lankan government’s tardy response to the kidnapping of ten aid workers of the Tamil Rehabilitation Organisation (TRO) have raised serious doubts about the prospects of peace talks, the Tamil Guardian newspaper said this week.

After War Comes Peace, Not Prosperity Amantha Perera COLOMBO, Feb 12 2014 (IPS) - Sri Lanka’s war-battered Northern Province had reason to celebrate when the results of a countrywide exam were announced last December. Of the 16,604 students from the province who sat for the exam, 63.8 percent secured the required marks for entry into prestigious national universities.

The region has endured a tedious reconstruction effort since then. “It is a national high,” Sivalingam Sathyaseelan, Secretary to the provincial Ministry of Ed…
