In replying to Mr. Paul Williams, Ex-MP Netherlands, Asia Tribune, reader Ira de Silva writes

"The Sri Lankan government ended the ceasefire in January 2008; the LTTE had ended it in 2006 with the statement from its leader. The government merely gave notice that it was formally ending it because there was no ceasefire to maintain which is a fact that all those in the so-called international community had recognized, even the Norwegian facilitators. Paul Williams got his facts wrong.”

The title... 'Ex-MP'.. tells the story.
It is obviously yet another vaguely sad saga of a once successful somebody falling into oblivion of becoming an 'ex-' somebody and fading away from the limelight and recognition.

Understandably it is hard for most. Harder for some than others. And for some who take it too hard, any opportunity to get back on center stage is a last chance to shine, and feel like the olden days. And a loser's cause in a third world country is often that opportunity for the politician.

Lesser people get a young mistress.
