as far as sri lanka goes, i think it is important to have some historical perspective. from someone who spent decades as a historian to deal with identity crisis, for example, security and peace issues. the deputy chief of the embassy is uniquely qualified to deal with this with both sri lanka, and canada, for many, many decades. he has a role of both a diplomat and historian and academic. i asked him to share with us some of his insights related to the history modus operandi for example. as well as how to end insurgency and waves of terrorism in his country. perhaps this would be a lesson for some other nations to ollow. >> thank i very much -- thank you very much, professor alexander. first, may i ask your indulgence to say it is a great privilege and honor for me to be here. graflte for ly giving me this opportunity to sit on the panel of distinguished zollars w that said i must state that i'm here not as the sri lankan embassy but scholar who has studied the conflict for years. the diplomatic mantle that i'm wearing is very new. i am more comfortable in the academic
