What happened?
The Sri Lankan government could have stopped the Easter Sunday attacks which killed over 250 people in Colombo, Negombo and Batticaloa, according to Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith, Archbishop of Colombo, Sri Lanka. Last week he called the attacks “a serious lapse of responsibility on the part of the government of Sri Lanka”.
Why was it under-reported?
The world’s attention has drifted away from Sri Lanka in the two months since the April 21 attack. The country’s complex politics are little understood.
