Strawberries & cream from Norway for Sri Lanka's surprise peace party
The Norwegian tax payer has been led into anointing a division of turf between the Prabhakaran-controlled warlord clique and the Wijewardena clan in Sri Lanka. Since Independence, the Wijewardena clan has subtly occupied the role of Haiti's Duvallier clan. The Prabhakaran group had come forward to receive sheep thrown in the wilderness, Sri Lanka's Tamil citizens. This came about when the Wijewardena clan and its minions presided over the burning of Tamil homes in 1983. The Duvallier limousine was powered by voodoo, the Wijewardena limousine was powered by ethnic conflict.-Full Story-(The LankaWeb- 24/02/02)
