Continuing atrocities against Catholics in eelam
ஈழத்திலே கத்தோலிக்கத்தேவாலயங்களும் கத்தோலிக்க மதகுருமார்களும் தொடர்ச்சியாகத் தாக்குதலுக்கு உள்ளாகின்றார்கள்.
மடுதேவாலயத்திலே இருந்து மாதாவே விரட்டப்பட்டார். திருத்தந்தையர்கள் சகோதரர்களினைக் கொலை செய்வதன் தொடர்ச்சியாக இப்போது கருணைரத்தினம் அடிகளார் சிறிலங்கா படையினராலே கொலை செய்யப்பட்டிருக்கிறார்.
அமெரிக்காவுக்கு வந்திருக்கும் புனித பாப்பரசரிடம் இது சொல்லப்படவேண்டும். ஒவ்வொரு தமிழரும் தாம் வாழ்க்கின்ற நாட்டிலே இருக்கும் கத்தோலிக்கப்பீடங்களிடம் இக்கொலைகள் பற்றி முறையிடவேண்டும்.

Born without hope
Born without hope by Tasha Manoranjan
WAR. The word itself spells fear…but living in the United States, we are generally far removed from the real aspects of war and its impact, especially on children. I am 20 years old and when I told my parents that I was taking a year off from college to go and work in our native Sri Lanka, they were both proud and fearful for my safety. Sri Lanka is a tiny island in the Indian Ocean. At about 65,000 square kilometers it is about the size of West Virginia. The population of the island is about 21 million, 75% of whom are Sinhalese and about 15% of whom are Tamil. The Sinhalese are primarily Buddhist and the Tamils are basically Hindu. Stress between these two groups has existed for centuries but erupted into all out civil war in 1983. We are Tamils…but this story is about children of war…because children do not ma
ke war or declare war or fight wars…they simply suffer from the outcome.
