You only need to look at the racial abuse and filthy language in the comments sections of online sites frequented by Sri Lankans to see how intense the emotions still are. Like anyone who writes on Sri Lanka I’ve had my share of abuse from both sides. I’ve been told I am covered in the blood of the babies who perished in the killing fields, that I’ve been making money out of the dead, and am a terrorist or “white Tiger” not to mention, a hysterical liar. But what the public doesn’t see are the private messages from readers around the world. Ev…

Writing our concerns to the International Community is the need of the hour, please please write to them in your own words (few lines) and call the international community, when possible, to act on it. Surely, you can hope our plights get to them, but first we have to tell them, not one or two people write to them, we all have to do it constantly and persistently to expose the true nature of Sri Lanka. eden@mol.com.mk, ediamantepower@yahoo.com , egannon@verizon.net, Mercodonia On Line http://www.mol.com.mk/ elies7@voila.fr Voila News http://www.voila.fr/ bptio@BalkanPeaceTeam.org Balkan Peace Team (PBT) cesd@cesd.org Centre…

Tania Ekanayake was born that year. The trouser and shirt she wore, instead of the regimented, mostly black coloured full-length skirts slit a wee bit on the back, marked her out as a member of…
