- Human Rights Groups fears that their will be a possible genocide sooner or later- 


Government opponents, the protestors in the Libyan city of Az Zawiyah have successfully repulsed an attempt by crual forces loyal to Dictatot Muammar Gaddafi to retake the city close to the capital, Tripoli, in six hours of fighting overnight, witnesses say.


Tuesday's claims follow reports that government forces attacked the city from the west and the east, and that fighter jets bombed an ammunition depot in the eastern city of Ajdabiya. There was no word on casualties in Az Zawiyah, which is 50km west of Tripoli. "We will not give up Az Zawiyah at any price,'' one witness said.


"We know it is significant strategically. They will fight to get it, but we will not give up. We managed to defeat them because our spirits are high and their spirits are zero."


The rebels, who include army forces who defected from the government, are armed with tanks, machine guns and anti-aircraft guns. They fought back pro-Gaddafi troops who attacked from six directions using the same weapons.

Oppostion main party UNP Western Provincial Councilor, Shiral Lakthileka addressing a public rally in Kadawatha on the 27th saturday said that Karu Jayasuriya should be appointed as the party's interim leader in order to re-build the party voter base and to re-unite it until Sajith Premadasa takes over the party leadership.


Shiral Lakthileka further said that if such a move is done, many problems faced by the party at present could be resolved with time and would bring unity to the party without having several fraction with in the party, which is the aspiration of every UNP member opposing the current administration headed by leader similar to a  dictator.


Time is now ripen to defeat President Percy Mahinda's government which is misleading the public, anti-people, swollen headed and unable to understand the problems faced by the people every day. Dowbfall of Rajapakse regime could only be brought down by a people's struggle like those that took place in Tunisia, Egypt and in progress in Libya & several other Middle Eats Countries.

Sri Lanka Wins Over Kenya - Hatrick for Malinga !

-Lasith Malinga the slinger picked up a hat-trick on his way to his six wickets- second hat-trick in world cups ! -

Kenya won the toss & batted first but were bowled out for 142 runs ( Group A match ) at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. Collins Obuya and David Obuya scored half centuries making it difficult for the bowlers at one stage but non of the other players were able to score double figures, with four batsmen getting ducks. 

Malinga got six wickets for 38 runs, he is the first bowler to pick up two hat-tricks in history of World Cup, it was a a one man show as each of his victims got out without the assistance of any fielders. Kulasekara, Mathews & Murali shared one wicket each. He did take another hat-trick (+ another wicket in next bowl !) in 2007 world cup against South Africa.  Sri Lanka reached 143 in 18.4 overs very comfortably. ( Dilshan 44[30], Tharanga 67n.o[59], 27no[24]. 





Reagrding the R Premadasa Pitch


As we were saying about this so many times, it's nice to see that Veteran Commentator Ramees Raja (One Former Pakistan Capatain) too pointed out that it's unfair for the way the pitch behaves against the team batting second, under lights. Also he said it's not nice to have a pitch where toss is playing the crusual role in the match. He observed this when Dilshan got out with a short pitch dilevary which came in sharply & took the edge when TM tried to play to third man region.


SO it's vital for Sri Lanka to win the toss against Aussies & put a good decent total on board to win or else it will be another match like what we so with Pakistanis.
