This is the image that has been registered in the minds of children growing up on the island. Destruction of the #Mullivaikal #Tamil #Genocide Memorial Monument. This is what they will remember, this is what they will take with them into the future. #tamilgenocideisfact https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ3rJ6ghSWk/?igshid=45uiirzjkx5n

Remembering is resisting. #may18 #mullivaikal #Repost @tyouk (@get_repost) ・・・ Nine years ago, the Sri Lankan state slaughtered thousands of Tamils in a deliberate and systematic attack. It is important to remember that this was not the last stages of the war or a one off act as the Sri Lankan State and the International Community claims it to be. Genocidal acts against Eelam Tamils have been a process that the Sri Lankan state constantly carried out over the years. We have seen this through many events - to name a few: the burning of the Jaffna Public Library in 1981, attempting to destroy knowledge and our ancestral history, anti-Tamil pogroms since independence (the biggest being in 1983), Sencholai bombings in 2005, etc. This was a war that had witnesses. But, the international community decided to turn a blind eye on the atrocities that took place in the homeland, and acted to guard their political and economic interests. Conflict of interests between the international community and the Tamil nation's cause continued to exist. The international community's interest dominated regardless of the number of lives lost - all witnesses and evidence had gone ignored. We need to understand that the act of ethnic cleansing is still evident. Examples of such include land grabbing, forced Sinhala habitation into the North-East and increased militarisation - a vicious attempt to make demographic changes to alienate the Tamil nation. #scarsofmullivaikal #genocide #tamils #eelam #mullivaikal
