ஐரோப்பிய ஒன்றியத்தில் புலிகள் மீது தடை விதிப்பது தொடர்பில் அதன் அங்கத்துவ நாடுகளையிடையே கருத்து வேறுபாடு ஏற்பட்டுள்ளது. இந்த தடை நடவடிக்கைக்கு நார்டிக் நாடுகள் எதிர்ப்பு தெரிவித்து வருகின்றது. இதனால் ஐரோப்பாவில் புலிகள் அமைப்புக்கு தடை ஏதும் ஏற்பட வாய்ப்பு குறைவு என்று தெரிகின்றது.

Sri Lanka is losing its soul to war Posted By: Peter Foster at Sep 22, 2008 at 07:48:18 [General] Posted in: Foreign Correspondents Predictably in a conflict which stirs such bitterness, my last post on Sri Lanka and an analysis piece I wrote in Saturday's paper on Sri Lanka's human rights record has generated a slew of emails accusing me of failing to understand the conflict and ‘siding with the terrorists.' I must preface this post, therefore, with the (I hope unnecessary) disclaimer that I hold no candle for the Tamil Tigers or their methods, which include recruiting child soldiers and the abduction, intimidation and extortion of Tamils both ho…

With the ceasefire dead, what now for Sri Lanka? Violence in Sri Lanka has escalated over the past two years, but there are widespread predictions of even greater bloodshed when a moribund ceasefire officially ends later this month. The 2002 ceasefire halted two decades of conflict between the government and Tamil Tiger rebels, but it began to unravel in 2005. "The last two years have been the most violent in a 25-year-long war which has taken over 70,000 lives," the Wall Street Journal says. The paper asks whether President Mahinda Rajapaksa's "war of attrition" against the Tamil Tigers will work or simply plunge the country into more violence. …

New Delhi, Nov. 5: Can coalitions provide the unity of purpose that nation-states need, Manmohan Singh asked today. The Prime Minister answered the question himself: “Sometimes… narrow political considerations, based on regional or sectional loyalties and ideologies, can distort the national vision and sense of collective purpose.” His sharpest criticism yet of a model where “parties with varying national reach and many with a very limited sub-national reach form a coalition” came before a world audience. Singh was inaugurating an international conference on federalism. Although the Prime Minister, who heads a multi-party coalition, did not raise specific i…
