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".

  • I agree with the ...

    I agree with the person at the very bottom No one here should be talking bad about a song when they are just simply expressing their feelings Not everyones life is a walk in the park so for those of you who dont understand what this song is about then DONT LISTEN TO IT!! I think its very insightful and people should think about what he is saying Dont talk about people and their ways of life and decisions you dont know what its like to walk in their shoes!!
