There’s a form of apartheid that’s been taking place worldwide in every society, culture and religion known to mankind. This apartheid isn’t well recognized, and is therefore a silent and extremely subtle variation to the apartheid that took place in South Africa. Ask around and you will find that not many people even know about this apartheid. What is this apartheid I am talking about?
According to Phyllis Chesler, feminist psychologist and author of ‘An American bride in Kabul’, “Gender apartheid consists of all those practices which condemn girls and women to a separate and subordinate sub-existence and which turn boys and men into the permanent guardians of their female relatives’ chastity. Boys and men are condemned to lead lives in which men are extremely uncomfortable with women, whom they have been taught to view as only sex objects and breeders.

It is a lie perpetuated, using local agents, by the same foreign intelligence agency of an Asian country that is hellbent on destroying Sri Lanka without using any military force. This is also the same entity which has played a vital role in Colombo demonstrations by infitrating it's paid locals to join the genuine demonstrators to create violence and mayhem . It is all because of Sri Lankan friendship with China.
The request was unofficial, and shown in other media as spurned by news here that government now allowed unrestricted killing of monkeys. The request had that instead of killing some be allowed for private zoos in China, however it was all done as private matter without Chinese authorities being involved.
