No way other than through dialogue say Church leaders
The National Christian Council of Sri Lanka (NCCSL) has asked the Government and the LTTE to engage in self scrutiny and shift to a more transparent relationship in dealing with immediate ground realities without waiting till the Geneva talks begin, given the urgency of the situation in the country.

In a statement, the Heads of the NCCSL said that the sudden and totally unexpected postponements of the second round of talks is a huge disappointment to all the peoples of Sri Lanka and that there can be no way other than dialogue to bring justice and peace to all communities.

The NCC also condemned the killings in recent days and said they must be immediately stopped in the name of common humanity. “The sanctity of all life must be respected and we must find civilised, democratic ways of addressing our disagreements and resolving our problems,” the statement added.
