Prof.Uyangoda's interview is a very insightful one. It has both the answers and the insurmountable hurdles preventing an acceptable solution. But it is also incomplete in some ways.
The interview does not touch on the sham democracy at the national level.It does not present the racist and theocratic nature of the state institutionalised under a unilateralist Sinhala Buddhist constitution which peramanently rankles the Tamils.
Above all, it does not touch on the mounting gross HR violations and crimes against humanity due to a denial of even basic criminal justice and the rule of lawlessness by an ethnic military and police. UNless and until these gross crimes are investigated and adjudicated upon by an international Special War Crimes Tribunal under international humanitarian law there is unlikely to be any peace, even temperory peace. On this is also likely to depend an acceptable political arrangement which guarantees security to life and limb of Tamils.
The politicians from the south in league with fundamentalist religious buddhist priests and other extremists like the JVP find it an easy option to climb to power by perpetuating racism and religionism. This is vicious
