2007-02-12 13:45:57 - Donor countries have pledged another $4.5 billion by way of aid to Sri Lanka, but have frowned upon the Mahindra Rajapaksa Government's pursuit of only military strategy against the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam and inadequate focus on a negotiated political settlement
Donor countries have pledged another $4.5 billion by way of aid to Sri Lanka, but have frowned upon the Mahindra Rajapaksa Government's pursuit of only military strategy against the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam and inadequate focus on a negotiated political settlement. The Norwegian-brokered cease-fire is as good as dead, though neither side has formally abrogated it. The international community has made it clear that conversion of $ 9 billion worth of aid pledges into hard cash will be dependent on the progress of the peace process. Power sharing and devolution would expand the development horizons for the country, with higher aid and private capital inflows, and accelerate development of conflict affected and other lagging regions.
