Dear President Sirisena, many world leaders congratulated on your remarkable victory; some are from democratic countries. Those leaders sent messages reminding and emphasizing the importance of accountability and reconciliation in a war torn country; also called on to cooperate with the ongoing OHCHR Investigation on Sri Lanka (OISL). Pope Francis visited Sri Lanka at an opportune moment, a sign of blessing to the country soon after your victory. Pope Francis reminded all of us in Sri Lanka that: “too many years the men and women of this country have been victims of civil strife and violence. What needed now is healing and unity”. The US President Barack Obama’s final words in: the State of the Union Address delivered on 20th January 2015 to the American people; “A brighter future is ours to write. Let’s begin this new chapter — together — and let’s start the work right now”, also a message to all in Sri Lanka. Hope Sri Lankans pay heed to this message and have a good beginning with goodwill among all; starting the process immediately, rather than wait for another General Election later in the year, as said in your 100 day program.
