German envoy warns Sri Lanka against fantasizing Hitler

Holger Seubert, the German Ambassador to Colombo, warned Sri Lankans against fantasizing about Adolf Hilter after a minister and an influential Buddhist made controversial remarks asking Sri Lankan leadership to become more like Hitler.

Responding to it, the German envoy took to Twitter and wrote, “I‘m hearing claims that “a Hitler” could be beneficial to Sri Lanka today. Let me remind those voices that Adolf Hitler was responsible for human suffering and despair beyond imagination, with millions of deaths. Definitely no role model for any politician!”

Sri Lankan State Minister Dilum Amunugama earlier had claimed that people expected Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapksa to run a dictatorship to some extent, according to a report in the Economynext.

Dujarric said that the conference was likely to have a hybrid model with some participants in person in Istanbul and others participating digitally with Guterres kicking it off “through modern technology.”

The timing of the conference, which will span May 1 appears to take into account the risk of the Taliban's reactions to the US troops remaining in the country on that date.
