Please sending women as house maids, there are enough labour jobs for men here in Qatar, why dont the government of Sri Lanka send the men out of the Island, and stop this barbaric act of selling women.
This is worst than Prostitution,sending women to slavery

Who was it begging Ghadaffi to come to Sri Lanka?
Marikkar Monday, 21 February 2011 05:03 PM
Will he be survived for his visit
maman baas Monday, 21 February 2011 06:04 PM
This man is a rebel among his own Arab comrades . He is very controversial and stirs up a lots of hornets nests in the Middle East by going against the grain. Cant understand why he wants to visit S lanka of all places. Maybe now with Gaddafi having fled Tripoli and trouble brewing in Bahrain , he fears his own furure. So he is visitin to check if S Lanka is a healthy and clean place to spend his last days in when it comes (soon).
Fair N Square Monday, 21 February 2011 07:15 PM
He is planning to invest his ill gotten money and make SL his 2nd home LOL....now that most Middle eastern countries are having a lot of issues. He knows this is the ONLY country that won a guerilla war and eradicated terrorism... so he may want to consider his investment safe........... West is all going down, (rather gone down, economically) its the time for the east.............. buckle up ppl good times are coming for what we went thru for the last 30 yrs.
Theres always a calm after a storm......
Sicillain Monday, 21 February 2011 07:54 PM
I am sure he is here to discuss the 4th Doha flight from Colombo
Sicillain Monday, 21 February 2011 08:02 PM
So nice to see the knowledge in you. Qatar is much better country and they manage to get the third flight probably he is here to negotiate the fourth
Sicillain Monday, 21 February 2011 08:03 PM
Qatar Airways operates 3 flights daily from Colombo under the agreement. I am sure he is on a business trip to see the possibilities of fourth.
Ranjith Monday, 21 February 2011 09:25 PM

Friends of a feather are getting agitated, perhaps, and seeking comfort from each other!

What a honor for the chinthanaya, even the arabs now bow down before us
chandra Monday, 21 February 2011 11:28 AM
This Emir usually does not like to meet leaders in other country for just. If they have mutual benifits from the business they like to visit other countries.
Wara Monday, 21 February 2011 11:45 AM
If this invitation was given by Ranil, you all well come. What a joke ??
Wara Monday, 21 February 2011 11:46 AM
May be you were not born to see the real democracy in 1980s !!
Wara Monday, 21 February 2011 11:46 AM
So as Westerns !!
Idiot Monday, 21 February 2011 11:49 AM
also to get tips on how to crack down protests.
Ranjith Monday, 21 February 2011 11:57 AM
Ranil is a genius compared to most of the others though his image is tarnished by continuous false and fabricated propaganda.
Calistus J. Monday, 21 February 2011 10:34 AM
Days are numbered for those leaders now. Better be hurry.
Gemba Monday, 21 February 2011 12:04 PM
He just wanna check how hell on earth looks like so he can get a clear idea about how hell looks like...
Anti-Spark Monday, 21 February 2011 12:19 PM
This better place he's visiting is the place you live. So be proud, instead of addressing it bad indirectly. Shame.
Yehiya-Doha Monday, 21 February 2011 12:26 PM

Idiot Monday, 21 February 2011 12:48 PM
Why do you comparing with 1980s?
Because of some one broken your hand some years back you won't care if some one broken your finger now?
I Hussein Monday, 21 February 2011 01:29 PM
