Emerging a new threat to Sri Lanka is gathering its momentum. ThatƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s the new startling phenomena on the horizon. Should we simply ignore it? Or consider as pretty serious?

ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ 

Kind of a dilemma which we may have to deal with as time goes by. Perhaps we should start moving our diplomatic pawns wisely on the diplomatic chess board in world stage.Handful of pariah states are very much willing to give helping hand for those international rogues to unsettled the settling land of our own at will.

The vicious-minded-intellectuals will go to any extent to achieve their sinister goals and their very existence would not be justifiable otherwise, as gory history constantly follow their souls.

Lame duck Tibet in exile or proposed two states solution for Middle East conflict may be the ready made spoken motto for those who believe in unrealistic sequence. As we know these two long standing issue are not only much distant but world of a difference to ours. Yet we should not forget the places like Dharmsala is not too far away from our shores, what ever opinion we may share.ItƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s a common secret that couple of lawless East African countries may become playing fields for the fraction of international diaspora, who seeks nothing but division in Sri Lanka and with the intention of challenging the unity of Sri Lanka in the near and distant future. Speculations are very much rife that internationally isolated Eritrea already short listed for the intended course. Surrounded with Sudan, Ethiopia & Somalia EritreaƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s goodwill simply nondescript as of itƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s neighbours. To add icing on the cake Yemen is visibly close in the other side of the Red Sea. Geographically and socially terrain is more appropriate for those who are aiming to create a formidable campaign against Sri LankaƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s integrity.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ 

ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Undoubtedly, these states might be a worthless lot as far as international community concern but the fact that these worthless entities hard to be convinced as the corruption blend with lawlessness is the daily bread for generations in this part of the world. This can be a tough task for top patriotic diplomats in Sri Lanka who know how the world political climate takes it turns time to time and when to manipulate and when not to. We sincerely believe they are well equipped today than in the past.

The worst scenario is not the discarded states that lend their lands to these elements but mighty ones in the West or hardly one or two in South East Asian states. This may sound somewhat exaggerative, however we cannot rule out these rare possibilities totally. If Aytollah Kumeni could operate from Paris against West backed Shah and eventually overthrew the regime and so did Benigno Aquino operated from US against Marcos, a staunch ally of US and scores of other similar events have had happen in the past which we need to be aware of. Certainly, present day Sri Lanka bears no any western ally-tag and gradually inching away from it further.

Important fact is to be mindful and understand of this nature of incidents which have taken place in the past are not mere isolated events but well orchestrated executed ones. We cannot anticipate things to fall in line for our likings need to act early and effectively to encounter unexpected eventualities.

There is one thing which history never failed to alter its stance ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-aftermath of a prolonged battle never brings justifiable solution instantly or ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚¦ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚¦..sometimes neverƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚. And we Sri Lankans know better than any.

Homegrown, viable, sustainable & more importantly a solution can be agreed-upon by all communities for the post-war-Sri Lanka is very critical and decisive, which will effectively keep the door closed firmly for those unknown-offshore-devils who are contemplating to disrupt the growing normalcy in the island.

ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ 

Nevertheless, we need to identify and engage those unknowns in their own multiple backyards is paramount. It can be pains taking long term exercise in terms of diplomacy, but an essential ingredient in order to safe guard our United Sri Lanka.
