Sri Lanka buckle up!





General Fonsenka's resignation came as a shocker to the outside world as it is to the citizens of the Island nation. However, along with it has also emerged another crack in the already weakened walls of the country.


The Chief of Defence Staff, Sarath Fonsenka enlisted to the Ceylon Army in 1970 and was commissioned on  June 1 1971, and in 2005 was made the chief of staff with the added respnsibity of riding the country free of the rebelling Tamils, especially Prabhakaran.


He did it, however, considering how the politicians irrespective of their religion and region act is the same fashion of being loyal more to their respective positions than the citizen, simply doesn't trust its own soldier.


Fonsenka may or may not have plotted a coup, and considering his popularity scale, it is very unlikely that the General would even plan one.


However, it is imperative that the political voices in the country awaken the leaders of the country. Why has the Sri Lankan president been silent?why has he not come one press statement till now?
