(IANS)

Colombo, Aug 20 (Xinhua) The Sri Lankan government Wednesday urged the international community to put pressure on the Tamil Tigers to allow civilians to leave the conflict zones to safety.

A government release said the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) was preventing thousands of families from moving to safe areas by imposing a strict pass system.

In some instances, the rebels were forcing people to stay behind to ensure the return of other members of their families.

Amnesty International has also criticised the LTTE for its refusal to allow civilians to migrate out of the conflict zones.

The government said the troops were on the verge of reaching the last two rebel strongholds of Kilinochchi and Mullaithivu districts in their current military thrust.

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said last week that large-scale displacements were taking place due to the military action.

The government has said that it is committed to providing humanitarian assistance to the displaced with adequate food and water.

The Dawn of a Global Bitcoin Gold Rush: Why Governments May Soon Join the Race

By admin
Picture a world where governments, not just early adopters and tech enthusiasts, scramble to hold Bitcoin before their geopolitical rivals do. This scenario, once considered science fiction, is becoming increasingly plausible. As major asset managers hint at portfolio exposure, U.S. political leaders signal a shift toward pro-crypto regulation, and states within the U.S. prepare strategic Bitcoin reserves, the stage is set for a massive influx of institutional and governmental participation. Far from the fleeting hype cycles of the past, this is a moment backed by data, historical patterns, and powerful players with trillions of dollars at their disposal. In 2020, Bitcoin's meteoric rise coincided with a similar point in its four-year halving cycle. Fast forward to 2024: conditions now are even more favorable, with unprecedented scarcity in the market and global interests aligning to accelerate adoption. The impatience seen in some corners of the crypto community, worried that Bitc...
