Awareness Update
→ National peace council in Sri Lanka, LTTE rebel group defeated, recently government has tried to weed out more LTTE by putting Tamil people in concentration camps. The government hasn’t been letting in any UN officials which raises suspicion, they continue to keep people in camps, most tamils happy war is over but problems tamils face aren’t over! There has been no support/funding for resettling.
