TEXT 4
DURING the 17 years of Sri Lanka's civil war, ceasefires have been arranged from time to time in the hope that permanent peace would follow. The difference about the present one, called by the separatist Tamil Tigers in December and due to end on January 24th, is that it has not been matched by the government. It believes that the Tigers sought only a breathing-space. As in the past, after recovering they would resume their attacks with renewed ferocity. The government forces have continued to kill Tigers with abandon, and held their fire only on Christmas day.
Sensing Sri Lanka's growing isolation, Mrs. Kumaratunga broadcast on January 8th specifically to the people of the north-east, where most Tamils live, and which has been the main cockpit of the war. She said there was no point in having a ceasefire unless the Tigers were prepared to negotiate. Once they agreed to negotiations, the government would be ready for a ceasefire.
