Sep 2007 This moving report looks back through 30 years of bloodshed in Sri Lanka to place today's violence in its proper context. Why did the ceasefire, agreed two years ago, falter? In 1956, an ambitious politician used the race card to be elected. He promised to make Sinhala the official language. Tamils who weren't fluent were dismissed, sparking a backlash that contributed to the emergence of the Tigers. In the war that followed, an estimated 40,000 disappeared. "We live in a country where anyone can take away another person, and nobody can do anything to stop it".

We should hate each others. I was born in Singhalese family because of that I became a Sinhalese. If I born in Tamil family I will become a Tamil! We all are human!

One thing that is certain to happen is that every one in this country will unite to help annihilate the LTTE from the face of our motherland. Those who oppose this will succumb to the same fate as the LTTE. Any foreigners trying to interfere too will pay a very heavy price for their actions. By the way, what Europe is waking up to right now actually is to the financial disaster they are currently in! HR and Karuna have got pushed down so far down in their list of priorities at the moment.

What will happen after Rajapakses defeat is chaos and poverty in the south and an enormous amount of money spent on war instead of protecting their own citizens from the current food and financial crisis. Europe is waking up on human rights and Karuna's child recruitment are know with every human right organisation in the world!!! I pity all those sinhalese who are currently paying a high price on a war they will never win!!!
