தம்பியை நம்பி யார்? வில்லன் நம்பியார்
தம்பி உள்ளவன் ஐநாவிலும் நாக்கைப் பிரட்டுவான்.
தம்பியை நம்பி யார்? வில்லன் நம்பியார்
On Sri Lanka, UN's Ban Declines To Call for Cease-Fire, Double Standard Unexplained
Byline: Matthew Russell Lee of Inner City Press at the UN

The temporary or one-time envoy Ban Ki-moon did send, his chief of staff Vijay Nambiar, has a brother Satish Nambiar who was quoted that week by the Sri Lankan army that
"Sri Lankan Army Commander Lieutenant General Sarath Fonseka has displayed the qualities of a great military leader nations are blessed with from time to time... Resurrected from the grave as it were after the attack on him some years back, he has displayed a single-mindedness of purpose in pursuing his goal of decimating the LTTE. Needless to say, he has been able to achieve his objective because of the full support and encouragement provided by the political establishment led by President Rajapaksa... As someone who was briefly involved with the peace process in Sri Lanka in 2002-2003, I have already acknowledged the outstanding performance of the SL security forces and the efforts of General Fonseka, a person I met on a number of occasions during my visits to Sri Lanka during 2002-2003 and developed great respect for, both as an individual and as a soldier."
While perhaps Vijay Nambair -- who refused to speak with the Press after his brief visit to Colombo -- and his sibling Satish are not as close as the three brother who run Sri Lanka, still the above highlights the need for the UN to send another envoy, and fast, among other actions.
