More Christmas carols courtesy of the army

Sri Lanka’s army organised more Christmas carols for Tamils in the North-East over the festive season, by holding an event in Mannar last week.

Sri Lanka’s 54 Division organised an event at the St Sebastian Cathedral, where soldiers sang carols “in order to develop the reconciliation among the people living in Mannar area” (sic) according to a military website.

Amongst the chief guests invited on stage were senior military figures and Sinhala Buddhist monks.

We need your support

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.

Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
