"...whilst the
current landscape in the East is one of
humanitarian crisis and endemic human rights
abuses, the current focus on human rights issues,
which whilst performing the essential task of
exposing the authoritarianism and violence of the
current regime, is insufficient to capture the cold
calculations and reasoning in the intentions of the
Sri Lankan State which has once again returned to
the the logic of Sinhala colonisation.."
