Hero's day Statement

Commendable Quote
  Europe which has a total population of 800 million is made up of 45 language based nation states. South Asia which has a total population of one billion, (1000 million) is comprised of four states. Who is preventing and therefore benefiting by limiting new nation-states in South Asia?

SLIDE SHOW : Manthai west displacement in Mannar

The indiscriminate shelling of the Sri Lankan military into civilian areas to force them out of their homes began in Manthai west in the Mannar district during the first week of September.

One man was killed. Many homes destroyed. Many more artillery pieces fell within the homes of civilians, frightening them and eventually forcing them to make the decision to displace. Close to 2500 families have displaced from Manthai west into LTTE areas.

The displaced lament the loss of harvest as it is the peak harvesting period. Many of the displaced have not been taken care of yet and international agencies say that they need more time to kick off their relief program for these people. Until that occurs people are left living under the sky.

The slide show that can be downloaded below captures these Tamil civilians on the move away from the Sri Lanka military shelling range.
