colombo arrest

i was going to say house arrest but i'm not limited to my house. under colombo arrest...because of the situation.

its ridiculous. another day, another suicide attack, except this one was down south on a navy base in Galle. the rebels attacked the navy base down south, which is largely a singhalese area, which set off a series of riots in the town. sinhalese were attacking tamils and targeting their shops. another depiction of how this problem never ends. there were also riots in habarana where yesterdays suicide bombing took place. it was here that groups of people, rumors have it that police and military were supporting them, attacked vehicles by throwing rocks and beating people up.

its sad because news like this steals the headlines and people dont realize that there have been killings nationwide daily. last night two more civilians were killed in trincomalee by the armed forces, some of these have explanations but many of them go without any investigations or answers. sad really when you are living in the midst of state & rebel sponsored terrorism where people are controlled by their hatred.

this whole situation has the potential of becoming really ugly and very quickly. i pray that this doesnt happen.
