Commonwealth dodges Sri Lanka problem | Asia News – Politics, Media, Education | Asian Correspondent
Commonwealth members should follow the example of Canada and refused to attend CHOGM if it is hosted by the Sri Lankan government. Sri Lanka is in clear violation of many of the principles held by members of the Commonwealth and by participating in the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Sri Lanka, Commonwealth members are condoning Sri Lanka's abuses in human rights on its ethnic minorities.
Nagas are semi-divine, semi-human spirits in Indian and Southeast Asian mythology. Notes from a traveler: "He did not think of himself as a tourist; he was a traveler. The difference was partly one of time, he would explain. Whereas the tourist generally hurries back home at the end of a few weeks or months, the traveler, belonging no more to one place than the next, moves slowly, over periods of years, from one part of the earth to another. " — Paul Bowles (The Sheltering Sky)
