about a week ago i watched a documentary showing some of the horrors that occured during the civil war in sri lanka .. i was actually unaware of the civil war until watching this and it left me lost for words , the horror that was inflicted upon the tamil people was hurrendous much of which had me close to tear's . The innocent people many of which were just mere children where excuted and slaughter in an such a inhumane way that you would not even imagine women raped and then murdered and left naked horiffic .one of the things that stuck out to me was the elderly man & a group of people gathered out side the UN compound who practically begged the UN workers to stay :
"We are begging you to stay and witness our suffering. If we allow you to leave, the truth is that everyone here will die. The knife is at our throat.
And Sadly this is what probably happened my question is why was there no international intervention ? was it because sri lanka had no resources that any other country could exploit ? So they were not worth saving ? Also why wasn't the civil war publicised more i don't recall seeing it on the news
Although it wasnt the most plesant thing to watch i'm greatful to channel 4 for showing the documentary as it has raised awareness & i hope sri lanka is able to rebuild it's self my prayers are with you
