Lal Pushpadeva Fernando is the Editor-in-Chief of this book which is a publication of the National Catholic Mass Communication Center.The President of the Bishops’ Conference of Sri Lanka, Ven.

Winston Fernando, participated as the Chief Guest at the launching ceremony of the book.Rev. Fr. Lal Pushpadeva Fernando, the Editor-in-Chief of the book, pointed out that so far throughout Sri Lankan history, the people have placed commas to continue things where it needed to be stopped with a fullstop.

This is the reason that our country today has become an anarchic and a defeated nation, he mentioned.Speaking further, Rev. Fernando questioned as to when the people will be able to make their mark on the world map, and mentioned that the real story of the Easter Attack goes beyond what is mentioned in the book ‘Thitha’.Rev.

West shifting from sanctions to Ukrainian military aid as war intensifies: experts

Ukraine becomes increasingly brutal, with Russian attacks killing and displacing civilians, experts say the international community is shifting its focus from sanctions to helping the Ukrainian military.That’s partly because the few remaining options that could have a significant impact on Russia’s economy — namely, a European ban on Russian oil and gas — are not feasible in the short term. It’s also becoming clearer that the sanctions, while devastating, are not swaying Russian President Vladimir Putin.“It’s not hurting (Russia) enough to make them stop,” said James Brander, a professor in international business and public policy at the University of British Columbia’s Sauder School of Business.“It’s hard to get to that level, whereas what’s really hurting the Russians right now is on the ground in Ukraine, where they’re running into a lot of military trouble.
