"&gt;&lt;i&gt;fine day&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;quot;&lt;/i&gt;...said John D&amp;#39;Oyly in his Diary ... describing 2nd March , 1815...&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS"&gt;After the capture of King Sri Wicrama Raja Singha by the British with the collusion of few Kandyan Chieftains,a Convention was proclaimed on March 2, 1815 between the British King&amp;#39;s representatives and the Kandyan Chieftains acting on behalf of the people (so they said..!!!) , and the Kingdom was ceded to King George III of England. Thus ended  2358 years of continuous existence of a Sinhala Kingdom of Sri Lanka!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS"&gt;The Kandyan chieftains replaced the Nayakkar dynasty with the King of England and the country was ruled by a government representing the King of England who was never physically present in the kingdom.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS"&gt;Soon after,the convention of 1815 became restricted to a piece of paper and the chieftains found their powers, ancient customs and above all Buddhism gradually restricted and this disillusionment reflected itself in what came to be known as the Great Uva Rebellion of 1817-1818,our first war of Independence, where nearly every section of the society along with the bhikkhus and the dissatisfied nobility made one last glorious attempt to rid the country of its English rulers and in return the English waged a genocidal campaign and annihilated several thousands of Kandyan Sinhalese people, including children, the sick and the old using terror and superior firepower and troops brought down from India.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS"&gt;The struggle was bound to fail due to the military might of the English and in some measure due to the bickering and failure of the Sinhalese to decide on a single strong leader. in the end the family jealousies surfaced breeding traitors who were prepared to seek favour with the British for office and wealth.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font class="Apple-style-span" face="&amp;#39;Trebuchet MS&amp;#39;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Sadly today, even before we celebrate a year of gaining freedom

trying to catch a glimpse of his two small Sons in the murky waters of the &lt;i&gt;Maha Levaya&lt;/i&gt; Lagoon..time heals they say..5 years on..

SL Army at 60 while China itself is turning 60...lions share of the Army&amp;#39;s arsenal is of Chinese origin..may be 60 different types of weapon systems ...anyway, i can&amp;#39;t keep my eyes off the Chinese mini skirt Militia pix..and think its time the SL Army comes up with one too..considering the fact that there will be more parades than combat in the near future,this will be a very much welcome development. ..&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;Sadly the training is just 10 days, that include basic English,culture and life in US,currency etc...and part of that training include the use of airplane toilets as they will be flying from Thailand to US..  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Most of these people have never been to a school nor have a clue outside the world of Refugee camps in Thai-Burma border.. and majority had never seen a proper Bus let alone a Plane!!!!!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I can&amp;#39;t imagine their shock and horror of an alien land when they land in US..i wanted to post this few weeks back to coincide with International Refugee Day..but never made it..&lt;br&gt;

titled &amp;quot;Michale Jackson&amp;#39;s legacy in South Asia&amp;quot;..&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt;I just wanted to make some fun out of the dead mans skin color and our &amp;#39;yearn&amp;#39; to be fair..and hey presto.. some serious discussion follows on the comments box! &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Of course, this whole &amp;#39;wanting to be fairer&amp;#39; thing is not something that came up with the open economy (nor MJ&amp;#39;s music).. its been there from time immemorial and &lt;a href="http://mockmenot.blogspot.com/2009/06/michale-jacksons-legacy-for-south-asia.html?showComment=1246289914745#c2764541445828008467" target="_blank"&gt;Sam has aptly pointed&lt;/a&gt; that out with the best ever example..the Sigiri Chicks..and also in our aged old tradition of depicting Gods and Deities with dark skin in blue..&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt;Anyway Michale Jackson has nothing to do with this but of course his legacy in this part of the world is that his music opened up pop culture and a more western approach to a society that was slowly embracing a market economy and opened so many doors in so many unseen ways.. how good or bad that was, I&amp;#39;m not an expert to say..&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt;But one thing is for sure, that man is an icon..will be missed and may he rest in peace!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As for Anon1&amp;amp;2,Liberal Lanka, Dee and Sam, many thanks for your valuable comments and insights and also for reading my blog! &lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;E-mail itself carried the signature of one Medical Doctor Dr Newton Jayawardana,Consultant Surgeon at the Teaching Hospital in Ragama.But I&amp;#39;m not so sure if he is the originator of this mail nor he is the one who is confirming this remedy after clinical test however, if raw Papaya juice is indeed a remedy i think it will change the whole dynamics of the current fear of the threat of Dengue epidemic as Papaya leaves is something widely available in almost all parts of Sri Lanka,especially in Dengue prone parts. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;I wonder if someone with Medical background can confirm this.. Below i reproduce the e-mail in full:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dengue Fever Remedy&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I would like to share this interesting discovery from a classmate&amp;#39;s&lt;br&gt; son who has just recovered from dengue fever. Apparently, his son was in the&lt;br&gt;critical stage at the ICU when his blood platelet count drops to 15 after !&lt;br&gt;15 liters of blood transfusion. His father was so worried that he seeks&lt;br&gt; another friend&amp;#39;s recommendation   and his son was saved. He confessed to me&lt;br&gt;that he gave his son raw juice  of the papaya leaves. From a platelet count&lt;br&gt;of 45 after 20 liters of blood transfusion, and after drinking the raw&lt;br&gt; papaya leaf juice, his platelet count jumps instantly to 135. Even the&lt;br&gt;doctors and nurses were   surprised. After the second day he was discharged.&lt;br&gt;So he asked me to pass this good news around.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Accordingly it is raw papaya leaves, 2pcs just cleaned and pound and squeeze&lt;br&gt; with filter cloth. You will only get one tablespoon per leaf. So  two!&lt;br&gt;Tablespoon per serving once a day. Do not boil or cook or rinse with hot&lt;br&gt;water, it will loose its strength. Only the leafy part and no stem or sap.&lt;br&gt; It is very bitter and you have to swallow it like &amp;quot;Won Low Kat&amp;quot;. But it&lt;br&gt;works.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Papaya Juice - Cure for Dengue&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You may have heard this elsewhere but if not, I am glad to inform you that&lt;br&gt; papaya juice is a natural cure for dengue fever. As dengue fever is  rampant&lt;br&gt;now, I think it&amp;#39;s good to share this with all. A friend of mine had dengue&lt;br&gt;last year. It was a very serious situation for her as her platelet count had&lt;br&gt; dropped to 28,000 after 3 days in hospital and water has started to fill up&lt;br&gt;her lung. She had difficulty in breathing. She was only 32-year old. Doctor&lt;br&gt;says there&amp;#39;s no cure for dengue. We just have to wait for her body immune&lt;br&gt; system to build up resistance against dengue and fight its own battle. She !&lt;br&gt;already had 2   blood transfusion and all of us were praying very hard as&lt;br&gt;her platelet continued to drop since the first day she was admitted.&lt;br&gt; Fortunately her mother-in-law heard that papaya juice would help to reduce&lt;br&gt;the fever and got some papaya leaves, pounded them and squeeze the juice out&lt;br&gt;for it. The next day, her platelet count started to increase,her fever&lt;br&gt; subsided. We continued to feed her with papaya juice and she recovered after&lt;br&gt;3 days!!!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Amazing but it&amp;#39;s true. It&amp;#39;s believed one&amp;#39;s body would be overheated when&lt;br&gt;one is down with dengue and that also caused the patient to have fever.&lt;br&gt; Papaya juice has cooling effect. Thus, it helps to reduce the level of heat&lt;br&gt;in one&amp;#39;s body, thus the fever will go away. I found that it&amp;#39;s also good when&lt;br&gt;one is having sore throat or suffering from heat. Please spread the news&lt;br&gt; about this as lately there are many dengue cases. It's great if such natural&lt;br&gt;cure could help to ease the sufferings of dengue patients. Furthermore it&amp;#39;s&lt;br&gt;so easily available. Blend them, squeeze the juice, drink immediately! It&amp;#39;s&lt;br&gt; simple and  miraculously effective!!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;ends/.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5478422117533724041-8856112634340015462?l=mockmenot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mockmenot.blogspot.com/feeds/8856112634340015462/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5478422117533724041&amp;postID=8856112634340015462' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5478422117533724041/posts/default/8856112634340015462'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5478422117533724041/posts/default/8856112634340015462'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mockmenot.blogspot.com/2009/06/raw-papaya-juice-as-dengue-fever-remedy.html' title='Raw Papaya juice as a Dengue Fever Remedy-can someone confirm this?'/><author><name>crisis</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11580898960069955198</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5478422117533724041.post-7588752888973027842</id><published>2009-06-09T14:04:00.001+05:30</published><updated>2009-06-09T14:04:27.594+05:30</updated><title type='text'>Rebel of Kandy on breaking the Eelam myth</title><content type='html'>&lt;p class="mobile-photo"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0IdLllZrY1I/Si4ek5z1XPI/AAAAAAAAAiw/VXDfOjQ3xTQ/s1600-h/pee-lam2-767595.GIF"&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0IdLllZrY1I/Si4ek5z1XPI/AAAAAAAAAiw/VXDfOjQ3xTQ/s320/pee-lam2-767595.GIF"  border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345243427077709042" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href="http://rebelofkandy.blogspot.com/"&gt;Rebel of Kandy&lt;/a&gt;

..&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;When contacts the Vedha chief was surprised to find the UK Parliaments move and further recalled how his father had told him about not trusting the &lt;i&gt;Sudda&lt;/i&gt; for the simple reason of how they had chased the Vedha out of their traditional lands during the colonial period and recalls the &lt;i&gt;suddha&lt;/i&gt; cutting trees and doing big game hunting ,while prosecuting the Vedha for &amp;#39;destroying Crown fauna and flora&amp;#39; and further added that the Police had already recoded a statement and are conducting an investigation over the threat and further said  &amp;quot;any &lt;i&gt;suddha&lt;/i&gt; can come but we know how to deal with the &lt;i&gt;sudda&lt;/i&gt; and the people who threaten us&amp;quot;...and  ended by saying &amp;quot;&lt;i&gt;sudda will use the threat to highlight something totally different to the problem at hand.&lt;/i&gt;.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;As i write this, Dr.Jehan Perera has already condemned the threats against the Vedha chief and is calling the Govt. to go for a ceasefire with the LTTE and reconsider a plan by some Flower Road based &amp;#39;Civil Society&amp;#39; group to grant federal powers to LTTE in Vanni with a Norwegian Government funded NGO to administer the territory &amp;#39;in trust&amp;#39; ,so to ensure the safety of the Vedha community in South-Eastern Sri Lanka! &lt;br&gt;

But that monumental myth has well been proved wrong by valiant SL armed forces. It&amp;#39;s surprising to see the shameful &amp;amp; cowardly manner in which the so called military genius &amp;quot;Sun God&amp;quot; fled the battle field and escaped without facing the SL military leaving behind all his mansions. It&amp;#39;s unbelievable &amp;amp; to see how this military genius &amp;quot;Sun God&amp;quot; hide behind the civilians and try all his best to muster Diaspora to force western governments and UN to persuade SL government to stop the military onslaught. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;What a shame to the invincible &amp;quot;Sun God&amp;quot;

from West (and the UN ) mostly the former co-chairs (minus Japan) and UK and France.they also wage wars against terrorism like we do.. US and others as part of NATO under the cover of UN mandates and operates in places like Iraq and Afghanistan..&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt;while they accuse us of-&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;a.  &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Targeting Civilians&lt;/span&gt;-                 they call it &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Kinetic events&lt;/span&gt;

 &lt;br&gt;as for Norway,when the Taliban almost killed their Foreign Minister and his team at a Kabul Hotel in 2008 , they didn&amp;#39;t offer to go into talks with Taliban but instead increased their contribution to ISAF..&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;  anyway, above pix i reproduce here as a reminder of how Western Countries wage wars against terror and preach us with protecting rights! &lt;br&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5478422117533724041-3739250539451208507?l=mockmenot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mockmenot.blogspot.com/feeds/3739250539451208507/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5478422117533724041&amp;postID=3739250539451208507' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5478422117533724041/posts/default/3739250539451208507'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5478422117533724041/posts/default/3739250539451208507'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mockmenot.blogspot.com/2009/02/on-targeting-civiliansabductions-and.html' title='on Targeting Civilians,abductions and torture...what we can learn  from West..'/><author><name>crisis</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11580898960069955198</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0IdLllZrY1I/SakQ2mFHT2I/AAAAAAAAAgo/2JeOBnTJciA/s72-c/090225_abugharib4-766887.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5478422117533724041.post-4914226134772458917</id><published>2009-02-27T17:11:00.001+05:30</published><updated>2009-02-27T17:11:06.137+05:30</updated><title type='text'>Kate Winslet and the Oscars</title><content type='html'>&lt;p class="mobile-photo"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0IdLllZrY1I/SafRUmYP1cI/AAAAAAAAAgg/Rvgy7KawF6U/s1600-h/oscar-766141.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0IdLllZrY1I/SafRUmYP1cI/AAAAAAAAAgg/Rvgy7KawF6U/s320/oscar-766141.jpg"  border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307440837709256130" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;this was not by me and the creator wants to remain anonymous...yet, i also share the same view!&lt;br&gt;

&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Saama Vimarshi or &lt;/span&gt;Peace Monitor mags among the LTTE propaganda material.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Tri lingual &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Saama Vimarshi&lt;/span&gt; was published by the CPA under its Peace and Media Unit and was headed by its former Director, so called Journalist Mr.Sunanda Deshapriya and Mr.Lionel Guruge. while former has fled overseas,currently based in Chennai,India citing threats to his life (actually running away from funders,due to failing to account for his finances! ) latter is still with the CPA.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;I guess CPA may have sub contracted the LTTE press to print &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Saama Vimarshi&lt;/span&gt; as a measure of confidence/trust building and building capacity of the LTTE for its &amp;#39;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;peacetime&lt;/span&gt;&amp;#39; role! &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;I&amp;#39;m sure Mr.Guruge has valid reasons for using the LTTE Press, but my sadness is of those glossy calenders of V.Prabakaran are not going to be on the walls of CPA and other LTTE institutions and LTTE camps this year around due to &amp;#39;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;anti peace&lt;/span&gt;&amp;#39;

It commemorates the armistice signed between the Allies and Germany at Rethondes, France, for the cessation of hostilities on the Western Front, which took effect at eleven o&amp;#39;clock in the morning — the &amp;quot;eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month&amp;quot;. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;While this official date to mark the end of the war reflects the ceasefire on the Western Front, there is a different remembrance i want to highlight today,especially with the current situation in Republic of Congo..&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The Rwandan Genocide was the 1994 mass killing of hundreds of thousands of Rwanda&amp;#39;s Tutsis by Hutu militia. Over the course of approximately 100 days, from the assassination of President Habyarimana of Ruwanda on April 6th through to mid July, at least 500,000 people were killed. Most estimates indicate a death toll of 800,000 and 1,000,000 and the incidents and events that&amp;#39;s currently taking place&amp;nbsp;today in Congo reflect the early days of the Ruwandan genocide..&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;lets hope we don&amp;#39;t get to post pictures of mass graves in Congo in the future. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1'

crated and maintained by &lt;a href="http://www.cyberlk.com/"&gt;Cyber Lanka&lt;/a&gt;. I&amp;#39;m sure most of you may have seen this before but anyway just in case..&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Map itself is a cool tool, not only its updated daily (based on public reports via Govt.web sites ) it also contains location specific captions on daily happening&amp;#39;s and key incidents.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;main feature of the map is, it depicts the troop movements and accordingly a great tool for all the Armchair Warlords,Peace Crusaders and citizens alike! &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;of course the warlords can go on and on talk about the disposition of Divisions and also strategy over long drinks on Friday and Saturday nights while the Flower Rd.based Civil Society Peace Crusaders can chart-out their next moves to pressure the IC to bring about &amp;#39; &lt;i&gt;forced peace&lt;/i&gt;&amp;#39; or scram &amp;#39;&lt;i&gt;peace now&amp;#39; &amp;#39;no war&lt;/i&gt; &amp;#39; etc, just so that they could take the heat off Mullativu.. while UNP (or rather..whats left of it..&amp;nbsp; ) and SLFP(M)  gang can engage in their futile conspiracies to bring down MR.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;either way.. Map is a good tool to understand the developments and all the rhetoric and analysis on both print and electronic media over Military Operations happening in the North.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Good work &lt;a href="http://www.cyberlk.com/"&gt;Cyber Lanka&lt;/a&gt; for crating and managing&amp;nbsp; this map. i think this map can be a model for discussing many other issues that we face today..of course that i leave out to the experts..&lt;br&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5478422117533724041-7931323285015172803?l=mockmenot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mockmenot.blogspot.com/feeds/7931323285015172803/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5478422117533724041&amp;postID=7931323285015172803' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5478422117533724041/posts/default/7931323285015172803'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5478422117533724041/posts/default/7931323285015172803'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mockmenot.blogspot.com/2008/09/interactive-defence-map-of-sri-lanka.html' title='Interactive Defence Map of Sri Lanka (Northern Battle field)- by Cyber Lanka'/><author><name>crisis</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11580898960069955198</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0IdLllZrY1I/SMYXJd114GI/AAAAAAAAAQM/ykd0ydKOKTU/s72-c/IntractivMap-705220.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5478422117533724041.post-346903801655828151</id><published>2008-09-08T17:08:00.001+05:30</published><updated>2008-09-08T17:08:36.356+05:30</updated><title type='text'>Ericsson Phone from a bygone era</title><content type='html'>&lt;p class="mobile-photo"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0IdLllZrY1I/SMUOvPIYsII/AAAAAAAAAQE/DsBVIsoAM38/s1600-h/Colctrs+guide.12.68-716357.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0IdLllZrY1I/SMUOvPIYsII/AAAAAAAAAQE/DsBVIsoAM38/s320/Colctrs+guide.12.68-716357.jpg"  border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5243613545821155458" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div dir="ltr"&gt;this Ad.appeared on the December edition of &amp;#39;The Collectors Guide&amp;quot;

statement issued today (31.05.08) said ;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot; &lt;i&gt;Jean-Marie Guéhenno, Under-Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations, this morning awarded the Dag Hammarskjöld Medal to the 90 military, police and civilian personnel from 42 countries who lost their lives last year serving in UN peacekeeping operations.&amp;nbsp; The medals were received by representatives of the 42&amp;nbsp;countries concerned.&amp;nbsp; In his prepared remarks at that event, Guéhenno said, "After 60 years of peacekeeping, we cannot claim victory in the pursuit of peace.&amp;nbsp; But we can take credit for stabilizing societies that were once the scenes of intractable conflict, saving countless lives in the process." &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/i&gt;its interesting to know that 3 Sri Lankan Peace keepers will also receive the &lt;a href="http://www.un.org/Depts/dpko/medals/"&gt;Dag Hammarskjöld Medal&lt;/a&gt; during the ceremony , awarded posthumously for their&amp;nbsp; sacrifices in Haiti , serving for the Peacekeeping Mission there.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;i hope some in Sri Lanka take note and share the news and the compensation that comes with
