Germany freezes aid to Sri Lanka

The German government has frozen aid to the Sri Lankan government until it resume peace process with the Tamil Tiger rebels.

The German minister for Overseas Development, Heidemarie Wieczorek-Zeul, has urged other western countries to increase pressure on Sri Lanka government to restart the peace process.

The minister said in a newspaper interview (with the daily Tagesspiegel) that due to continuing violence much of Germany's aid to Sri Lanka, especially in rebel held areas, was not reaching the people it was intended for -- the victims of the tsunami of two years ago.

The minister said twenty-five million dollars originally earmarked for Sri Lankan victims of the tsunami had now been redirected to the Indonesian region of Aceh.
