Starving for Peace in Sri Lanka

On February 2nd, eight Americans began a fast, renouncing all food in support of civilians under attack in Sri Lanka. Every meal they sacrifice represents 30 civilians trapped in the ravaged regions of Sri Lanka, and they will not stop until a) medical supplies, NGOs, and media is allowed into the war zone, or b) the 300,000 Tamil civilians under constant artillery and aerial onslaught are represented.

The Sri Lankan government launched an intensive military offensive last September against Tamil regions in the north. The government ordered all international aid organizations out of the region and has severely restricted journalists' access to the area. Over 300,000 Tamil civilians have been trapped as the government continues its brutal military campaign, which includes indiscriminate aerial bombardment and artillery shelling.

The eight Americans have begun a worldwide 10,000-meal fast to pressure Congress and the Obama administration to provide relief to these civilians. They are only consuming water and vitamins - it has been 8 days and counting.

@ambien247 Listen to me very closely my friend. Killing will not bring you peace. Do not waste the golden opportunity for Sri Lanka by living and bickering with the past.

[kdnupe]

How pathetic! Let me give you a suggestion. With out making fools of your selves by fasting for a issue that does not concern your country's sovereignty, why not do a fund raiser in collaboration with an acclaimed NGO. Ooops you may already be doing that for the LTTE terrorists.

[ambien247]

why did your parents leave Sri lanka and not help fight the war against the sinhalese like how my parents did. I am Tamil too and i just don't see how you have the right to make such comments whilst you have in no way contributed to fighting the war !!! my tamil brothers have let me down. We could have won the war if you guys came down to fight!!

@senthilvpc My dear Tamil brother. Don't be so emotional . Please try to understand the realities. After 30 years of a brutal war what did the Tamil people received from Prabakaran & his clan . Your people only got cyanide, more poverty, suffering, death, an uneducated young Tamil generation with lethal weapons. etc ., etc....Your poor parents cried & begged the LTTE carders not to recruit their children for the meaningless war. At last Prabakaran didn't eat cyanide .
