Sri Lanka to celebrate regaining prestige with 'one nation' Independence Day bash
18Jan 2018
Sri Lanka will be celebrating its 70th Independence Day on a grand
scale, “having regained its world image” according to the Home Affairs
Minister.
Sri Lanka, which was relegated to the background, will proudly celebrate
this year’s Independence Day after winning over the international world
and regaining its world image, said Home Affairs Minister Vajira
Abeywardena in a press release, reports dailynews.lk.
‘One Nation’ is reported to be the theme of the celebration in Colombo,
to which the British royal family is sending the Earl of Wessex to
represent the Queen.
Last year, with ongoing protests sparking across the North-East, Tamils
boycotted celebrations and held black flag protests while Sri Lankan
military forces held unprecedentedly large parades and events in towns
across the Tamil homeland.

protest (the first of many ongoing land protests in 2017) on Sri Lanka's
Independence Day last year
