by Trevor Chesterfield (islandcricket.lk/columns/trevor_chesterfield) It is not a new argument. Anything involving the deviousness of political machinations never is, especially in the aftermath such as this one. What we now have in Sri Lanka is a type of Mexican stand-off with Sri Lankans instead of Mexicans; most are glaring at each other, as usual pointing [...]
by Dayan Jayatilleka (www.groundviews.org) Remember the “Bandaranaike yugaya” (the “Bandaranaike Era”)? Well it is now the Rajapakses’ round. The Rajapakse family now dominates the SLFP and Sri Lankan politics in much the same manner as did the Bandaranaikes (Sirima, Felix, Sunethra, Anura, Chandrika, and son in law Kumar, not to mention Mackie and Seewali Ratwatte [...]

The meeting at Jeyapuram South in the North of Sri Lanka is held under [...]
by Lankan Blogger (lankanblogger.wordpress.com) Once again, it’s your turn to select a new batch of rogues and cheats to run our country. Or should I say, ruin our country.
