April 2009 I can't say I saw it coming, but then I can't say I was all that suprised either.
A week ago, just over a month after I had my last working day there, the Embassy was attacked and trashed completely.
I was in Denmark at the time, but thanks to the particularly interactive vandals I could watch my old desk and computer get smashed with an axe on my laptop in the safety of Thomas' kitchen - only an hour after it happened.
I suppose I could say a lot about the Tamil diasphora in Norway, about how they have gone from appearing like super immigrants to revealing a much more hardline approach to their grievances. Or how they don't even try to conceal their support for the LTTE anymore. But I think I'll stick to just saying this: Once again I am surprised by the logic behind blaming Norway for what is going on. For blaming us for not doing more.
Talking sense into both parties has been tried numerous times with little effect. Our mandate ends right there.
