Northern Muslims of Sri Lanka_NWZ294a

The 29th of October is historic for the Northern Muslims of Sri Lanka - on this day, in 1990, the LTTE forcibly evicted some 75,000 Muslim residents of the Northern districts of Sri Lanka - Jaffna, Kilinochchi, Mullaithivu, Mannar and Vavuniya. Today, the lives of these Muslims, who have been displaced for 18 years, have changed drasticallybut for better or worse?

@yalali1956 fuck of ur traitorous scum. LTTE can't be blamed if Muslims are a security threat!! Ur lucky u weren't executed for treason. In Western countries if anyone is caught helping Al Qaeda they would be thrown in jail, your lucky the LTTE just threw u people out.

Hello,

I am from Jaffna moor street. The time delay given to us was not 48 hours but just 2 hours. You could imagine how a community of peaceful people was turned refugees under gunpoint of facist LTTE within 2 hours. Nobody came to our help and still some of our people living in camps in puttalam. WE ARE NOT AGAINST OUR TAMIL BROTHERS AND SISTERS WITH WHOM WE HAD FANTASTIC RELATIONSHIP THEN AND NOW, we are against this fasict LTTE ( by now LTTE nowhere with their leaders.)
