Support Sri Lanka
Liberation Tigers of Tamil Ealam(LTTE) completely boycotted the presidential polls on Thursday,17 Nov:2005. Residents of Jaffna district,mostly controlled by the Tamil Tigers,stayed home and streets were deserted,only 1,700 votes casted with in the population of 700,000.
Tamil Tigers quest for a separate home land for their minority Tamils,Buddhist Sinhalese majority rules out any such option.Nearly 65,000 people killed in a two decade long war between LTTE and Sri Lankan troops,halted in 2002 after a peace deal.
The deal is in danger now,with start of sporadic violence in the region taking many lives. Fresh start of a full flow war can completely ruin the lives of poor Sri Lankans,and socio-economic structure of the small Island already severly destroyed by Tsunami,cannot afford any more damage,the need is now that the world must take serious note of this festering problem and become active to achieve a lasting peace solution for the region.
Pilgrims of Peace Org: appeals to the world leaders ,UN officials and peace organizations to seriously consider about the present fresh wave of violence in Sri Lanka before it burns the entire Island once again.

Sri Lanka (update)01 Dec:2005
---------------------------------
Newly elected Sri Lankan President,Mr.Mahinda Rajapakse issued a fresh invitation to Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam(LTTE) to talk and revive the peace deal. LTTE on the other hand asked for a more practical deal from the Pressident and end of all acts of discrimination against minority Tamils,and if not they will resume "freedom struggle" for a separate Tamil home land next year.
At this moment, it is very necessary for us,the peace lovers and workers around the world to urge and support both parties to consummate the issue through peace talks and promote the peace process and progress in the tiny Island.
