DLF calls for peace talks

The Democratic Left Front (DLF) in a press release issued called upon both parties to the present conflict to explore the possibility of starting talks to create a ceasefire without seeking third party intervention by a world power.

The release signed by DLF Secretary Vasudeva Nanayakkara said analysts and intellectuals have both predicted that victory and defeat in the ongoing North, East war would be equally divided among both parties to the conflict.

But during the last two years both parties had tried to continue the war and hundreds had been killed, tens of thousands of people had been displaced while a similar number had suffered loss of livelihood.

Furthermore this situation had caused immense economic hardship to others living outside the war zone, he said.

“Even if the war ended decisively with a win to any one party its recurrence could not be prevented without a political solution to the causes of the conflict. Even if the North and East war could be subdued by the military action it would be wrong from the angle of democracy.

It would also be not practical to be continued forever. Therefore both parties should explore the possibility of having talks to bring about a ceasefire”, he added.
