As per a news item\nappeared in The Island dated 9th<\/sup> July 2019, the newly appointed Chief Executive Director of the\nMillennium Challenge Corporation (MCC,) Sean Cairncross has written to Prime\nMinister Ranil Wickremesinghe stating that he looks forward to Wickremesinghe\u2019s\ncontinued leadership to advance their shared goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is interesting to find out what\nare the \u2018shared goals\u2019 and interests of the two parties involved, especially, those\nof our local partner, Ranil Wickramasinghe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The above news item is an indication\nof the determination of the leader of the UNP to go ahead with whatever he wants,\ndisregarding the expression of concern with regard to the increasing levels of\nspeculation among the society at large on the consequences surrounding the\nproposed Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA), Acquisition and Cross-Servicing\nAgreement (ACSA) and the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) Agreements\nbetween Sri Lanka and USA. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Articles speaking extensively about\nthe above mentioned agreements were appeared in the printed and electronic\nmedia. It is clear that the shared goals of the originator of these agreements,\nUSA, are nothing but plans to splinter Sri Lanka and turn it into a US Military\nBase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We remember how\nRanil Wickremesinghe signed the\n“Ceasefire Agreement” (CFA) on February 22, 2002 on behalf of the\nGovernment of Sri Lanka and by Velupillai Prabhakaran on behalf of the\nLiberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). Although the controversial agreement was unconstitutional and illegal, the UNP government leader had blindly given some areas of the North and Eastern Provinces to\nthe LTTE terrorists without the knowledge or the approval of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UNP leadership\nalso believed that the\ngovernment would have to give up the area it seized from the LTTE to facilitate\nthe so-called non-existed peace process. The\nleadership also required\nthe\ngovernment of Sri Lanka to satisfy the requirements of the so-called\ninternational community and the Norwegians, who were openly interfering with the internal affairs of a\nsovereign nation (Sri Lanka) with sinister motives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unless the foolish CFA agreement signed by the UNP leader was abrogated by defeating him at the Presidential election held\nin 2005 and LTTE was defeated militarily\nto remove the so-called “LTTE territories”, arranged by the crafty\nNorwegians, the wishes of\nthe separatist outfit and their international allies would have been made a reality long ago. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One cannot expect from a person who committed a treacherous act to\nacknowledge it openly. Instead these traitors attempt to justify any of their\nactions, in line with their political goals, by hanging onto power or to grab\npower with the support of those who are anti-nationalistic and foreign powers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sovereignty status of the country is disappearing fast due the\nserious political blunders made by Sirisena and Ranil combination, the former\njoining the latter in 2015 and the latter\u2019s willing to sign any agreement blindly\nwith foreign powers favorable to his existence (as done in the past), merely\nfor selfish reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
