The challenge of sustainable peace in Sri Lanka
Sustainable peace and minority rights are still a challenge two years on from the end of the conflict in Sri Lanka which lasted more than 30 years. That’s the view of Bishop Norbert Andradi, secretary of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Sri Lanka.
In a recent speech marking the 40th anniversary of the Centre of Society and Religion in Columbo, the Bishop said “there is a certain inability to accept that this is a multi-language, multi-religion and multicultural society”.
Lydia O’Kane spoke to Bishop Andradi about the challenges the country faces and his hopes for lasting peace.
He told her that “ we continue to hope and it’s a very arduous process but we need to move ahead with all this”. Listen
