The memorial at Mullivaikal was held to commemorate the lives of those who were killed and disappeared at the end of the war. It has been 16 years since the end of the war, but there has been little to no effort to engage in reconciliation. #SriLanka #Mullivaikkal #May18

From today’s commemoration in Colombo with many coming together in remembrance & in solidarity 16yrs after the end of the war, it’s important to note the shifts in #SriLanka but the attempts to disrupt today’s event also a reminder of the fragility of things #May18

What’s the most remarkable thing about the presidential election campaign so far? The near total absence of any discussion of the executive presidency (and the need for its abolition). 1/
