Sri Lankan civil war
Colombo did not allow Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt to enter Sri Lanka on a 'humanitarian mission' together with French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner and British Foreign Secretary David Miliband. I think Colombo apparently in its final days of total victory over Tamil separatist rebels (LTTE) - has taken a bold decision.
The fact is that Sweden has very little influence in this region. Previous experiences show that the so-called 'humanitarian efforts' (prescribed by western arms exporting countries) in the last phase of war ultimately created more tragic situations. Quick end to the war will lessen human sufferings.
