President Ashraf Ghani left his country yesterday. In this situation, 20 years later, the Taliban have regained power in Afghanistan. Taliban spokesman Suhail Shaheen said the Taliban had nothing to do with the LTTE. He added, "The Taliban is an independent liberation force. We have been fighting for the liberation of Afghanistan and against foreign occupation for the last 20 years."

He also said he was in talks with the Afghan government for a peaceful transfer of power.

China and Sri Lanka are set to deepen bilateral "vaccination diplomacy" with a leading Chinese pharmaceutical company to set up a manufacturing plant to produce covid doses in President Gotabhaya Rajapakse's home district of Hambantota.

The new factory will be set up under a contract that will allow Sri Lanka to obtain nine million Covid-19 vaccines from a Chinese pharmaceutical company, Palitha Kohana, Sri Lanka's ambassador to China, told the Hindustan Times.

Palitha Kohana said the agreement between the State Pharmaceutical Corporation of Sri Lanka (SPC) and the Chinese state-owned Sinovak Biotech was "very close to completion".

"It will be set up at a specialized pharmaceutical manufacturing facility in Hambantota," the Sri Lankan ambassador said

More than 10 men in military uniforms stormed the homes of people in the western part of Ponnala.

The incident took place at 11.50 am and the scene was deserted without any movement of people. People in army uniforms stood inside people's homes, claiming they had weapons.

The men in military uniforms got into a heated argument when questioned by a public son about assaulting civilians. Police were called following the incident. Following this, those wearing army uniforms fled. Although the Vaddukottai police was informed at 12 noon, the police have not yet arrived, people in the area said.

Professor Chandima Jeewandara of Sri Jayewardenepura University has said that the system of giving Sinovac vaccine to prevent covirus infection in Sri Lanka is wrong.

He noted that the second dose should be given 3 weeks after the first dose of Sinovac vaccine. However, he said that the biggest problem was the action taken by the Ministry of Health to give the second dose to the people of Sri Lanka after 4 weeks.

A second vaccination at 3 weeks enhances immunity to coccidiosis at 4 weeks. However a further one week delay may delay the increase in immunity.

He points out that this is an injustice done to the people. He noted that the Ministry of Health did not accept the loan, which was first announced in May, to provide a second vaccine within 3 weeks of the Sinovac vaccine being given.

He added that in the context of the rapid spread of the delta virus in the country, it is confusing that Sri Lanka is not getting the vaccine immediately despite the massive availability of it.

At the same time, it is noteworthy that more and more people in Sri Lanka are being vaccinated against synopam.
