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?
 


December HR Release

 

Jaffna - No food to eat - No seed to grow

The recent rain in the southern Jaffna peninsula is the time for the farmers to sow the paddy fields. Displacement, inability to bring seeds and fertilizers into Jaffna, has resulted in thousands of acres of paddy land remaining uncultivated. Even those farmers who are in their residence are unable to sow the fields due to lack of seeds.

A sack of rice which prior to the current blockade of Jaffna cost Rs 600 is selling for Rs 3000 at present making it out of reach for most daily wage earners in Jaffna. Hungry people are resorting to stealing food. Petty crimes will rise as people start to steal to ward off hunger.

Isn’t this exactly what the Government of Sri Lanka wishes on the people of Jaffna?
