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?

Civilians trapped, displacing during SLA attacks

Jaffna

About 2,000 families from Thenmaradchchi were trying to move to safer areas in Vadamaradchchi when the Sri Lankan army (SLA) prevented them from leaving their villages. Some of the villages are located close to SLA camps, putting civilians in danger as fighting continues in Jaffna.

Fifty families were able to move to safer areas in Vadamaradchchi and said the families that could not escape from Varanai, Vatralai, Thaavalai, Idaikurichchi and Karambaikurichchi are experiencing a shortage of water and other basic food items. A curfew was enforced throughout Jaffna on Saturday. Electricity has been cut off, with very few phone lines working.

Batticaloa

The SLA began attacks on LTTE forward defense lines in Vellaveli on Sunday, 13 August. Civilians from surrounding villages of Thumpankerni, Thikkodai and Ganthipuram displaced toward LTTE areas to escape the SLA attacks. The Tamils Rehabilitation Organisation was providing relief to about 180 families who took refuge in the Thumpankerni Tamil school.
