Circle of Violence - Sri Lanka

Uploaded by: journeymanpictures
Video Description:
Sep 2007
This moving report looks back through 30 years of bloodshed in Sri Lanka to place today's violence in its proper context. Why did the ceasefire, agreed two years ago, falter?
In 1956, an ambitious politician used the race card to be elected. He promised to make Sinhala the official language. Tamils who weren't fluent were dismissed, sparking a backlash that contributed to the emergence of the Tigers. In the war that followed, an estimated 40,000 disappeared. "We live in a country where anyone can take away another person, and nobody can do anything to stop it".

Karuna demands a false passport for entering the UK, Rajapakse provides one. Karuna demands to be a parlementarian! (being a terrorist), Rajapakse swears him in. Go for it Sri lanka you may be proud of yourselves!

I'm glad to see that some of the sinhalese people in this video also agree on the atrocities toward the tamils.
I agree that if the gov had any interest toward making peace they could've done it long ago, but they keep killing people in the name of national security, when the people they are killing is of the same nationality..

What will happen after Rajapakses defeat is chaos and poverty in the south and an enormous amount of money spent on war instead of protecting their own citizens from the current food and financial crisis. Europe is waking up on human rights and Karuna's child recruitment are know with every human right organisation in the world!!!

One thing that is ... ( 2 months ago by babannigaa)

One thing that is certain to happen is that every one in this country will unite to help annihilate the LTTE from the face of our motherland. Those who oppose this will succumb to the same fate as the LTTE. Any foreigners trying to interfere too will pay a very heavy price for their actions. By the way, what Europe is waking up to right now actually is to the financial disaster they are currently in! HR and Karuna have got pushed down so far down in their list of priorities at the moment.
