Now that the civil war between the Tamil minority and the Sinhalese majority has ended, will there ever be true reconciliation that allows Sri Lanka to develop as a normal country?
About 10 percent of the Tamil population almost 300,000 people are still being detained in 30 military-guarded camps, with no end in sight. This only feeds Tamil suspicions that they are destined to remain second-class citizens.
And after decades of media repression by the government during the war with the Tamil Tigers, in the name of national security, will things improve for freedom of speech and criticism?

A group of 11 Sri Lankan asylum seekers were picked up by Indonesian police near Indonesia's Bintan island this week.
The group of seven men, two women and two children were said to be abandoned by a Malaysian agent after being told they would be taken to Australia.
For many ethnic Tamils from Sri Lanka, fleeing conflict and what they say is discrimination in their homeland and travelling by boat on a dangerous journey to an uncertain life in Australia is viewed as their only shot at a better life.
Many of them end up detained as refugees and only a handful are granted asylum each year.
But hundreds of them are still willing to try, despite the risks and the high financial costs, as Al Jazeera's Aela Callan finds out.

http://www.sbs.com.au/dateline/story/about/id/600216/n/The-Tiger-Trap
They defeated the Tigers earlier this year but is the Sri Lankan government's war with the Tamils really all over?
This week on Dateline, Amos Roberts investigates the mysterious disappearance of Kumaran Pathmanathan, or "KP" as he is known, who became the new leader of the Tamil Tigers after the death of Velupillai Prabhakaran in May.
For more than two decades KP had been the Tigers' chief arms smuggler and money launderer, and is still listed on Interpol's "Wanted" list. Now it appears that in a clandestine operation two months ago KP was snatched from a budget hotel in Malaysia and whisked back to Sri Lanka.

Diplomatic misstep
http://www.tamilnet.com/art.html?catid=79&artid=30878
Professor Rajiva Wijesinha, permanent secretary to the Ministry of Disaster Management and Human Rights, appears to have received a reprimand from his Department's Minister after making disparaging remarks on Philip Alston, United Nations Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary and arbitrary execution, and for dismissing as "another nuisance," the letter from Alston requesting explanation to Sarath Fonseka's allegations that Colombo may have committed war-crimes. In an interview, Mr Wijesinha calls Alston "a sad man," "an excitable man," and "a bit of an excitable chap." The Sri Lanka Government announced that it has withdrawn Mr. Wijesinha's self-publicized response to Alston.

The Sri Lanka Government announced that it has withdrawn Mr. Wijesinha's self-publicized response to Alston.
"Colombo rightly felt that Mr Wijesinha's condescending admonition to Philp Alston, whose strong legal credentials earned him the coveted expert position at U.N., to withdraw the letter, would create difficulties for Sri Lanka at the UN Human Rights Council, especially as Alston is scheduled to submit a report on these revelations. Further, when International community, following the damning report by the U.S. State Department, is raising stronger voices of war-crimes allegations against Colombo, Wijesinha's diplomatic transgressions are ill-advised," spokesperson for a US-based pressure group said.
