		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?

Family of six blown to pieces, surviving members unable to hold funeral

At 6.45am SLA fired artillery blew up a family of six, father, mother and four children, to pieces in Red-Barna in Visuvamadu. The four children killed in the family are aged from one to sixteen. Three more IDPs, two of them children aged 10 and 14, were also killed by this shelling incident.

Widespread shelling in Vanni including Theravil and Kaiveli kills entire families

SLA shelling on 16 January at 1.30pm on the IDP settlement in Theravil in Mullaithivu District killed a family of three leaving the one and half year old baby who was also injured with no one to care for him. The baby is receiving treatment at the Puthukudiyiruppu hospital.

Children from Tharmapuram packed under trees in Theravil

A striking feature of the IDP population that has just moved from Tharmapuram to Theravil are the large number of children among them. Babies in mothers’ arms, dawdling toddlers, young children eating raw mangoes, boys playing marbles or digging bunkers, girls playing hopscotch or caring for younger siblings, they are the ones filling the place.

For the third day in a row, very large scale civilian victims in SLA shelling
