Ruki,

Thank you for the very impartial information. Unfortunately the average sinhalese people believe what the Govt. says. Most of them have put a “blinker” around them. They don’t want to hear,see or try to find out the truth. If the Govt. does not stop their theory of “LIBERATION”, the whole tamil population in Sri Lanka will end up in the refugee camp!! They will have to loose their dignity and obey what the [edited out] soldiers tells them to do. If this is not called GENOCIDE, what is it? Whom are they “LIBERATING” the tamils from? I know they have successfully “LIBERATED” tamil civilians (men,women and children)by aerial bombardment,shelling,abduction,murder etc,etc.

I hope the Tamil paramilitaries and the other Tamil politicians who are helping the GOVT. in the GENOCIDE realises that their turn will be next!! If they cannot help the Tamils at least they should not become the instrument in destroying the TAMILS!!
