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?

Allaipiddy people beg for their right to life

The people of Allaipddi still remaining in the PhilipNeri church after the 13 May massacre of 13 civilians including two children aged four months and four years met with many government and non-government officials on 18 May at the church. People have remained in the church out of fear for their life after the massacre.

The Government Agent for Jaffna, K Kanesh, additional Government Agent, A Sivaswami, Velanai district Assistant Government Agent, K Nanthakopalan, representatives of UNHCR, UNICEF, World Vision, GTZ, ICRC, and Nonviolent Peace Force were present at the meeting in which members from 180 families of Allaipiddi took part.

The families begged the above officials to give some guarantee for their right to life if they are to remain in Allaipiddy. When they were told no one in the present situation can give such a guarantee, the people begged to be taken to Vanni (LTTE area) with protection. They were told that none of the organizations present could provide this arrangement to the people.

People were deeply disappointed.
