Depuis des années des peuples sont massacrés sous le silence total du monde. Pourquoi ? Qu’est-ce que le Cinghalais a de plus que le Tamoul ? Qu’est-ce que le Turc a de plus que le Kurde ? Qu’est-ce que le Chinois a de plus que le Ouïghour ? #GenocideSriLanka

Mon père a raté son enfance, a laissé tomber ses études, a perdu sa mère et sa sœur et autres proches. Au lieu de tenir un stylo à 13 ans il a porté une arme, et ca été le cas pour d’autres qui maintenant travaillent pour d’autres pays. #GenocideSriLanka

Un des plus grands génocide du 21e siècle se passe actuellement, contre le peuple des Tamouls au Sri Lanka. Ce peuple subit depuis des années massacres, discriminations... dans le silence mondial le plus complet.
Plus de 100 000 morts, plus de 100 000 disparus.
Horrifiant. pic.twitter.com/GEcqzdNDXB— Kly (@_klyklyy) January 23, 2021

Earlier this week, French Tamils gathered in Paris in hundreds, condemning the destruction of the Mullivaikal memorial monument, and expressing solidarity with Jaffna University students.
The destruction of the Mullivaikal memorial monument which was built to commemorate the lives lost during the Tamil liberation struggle has been criticised internationally.
Following the demonstration in Paris last week and an email campaign, 21 French MPs called on French President Emmanuel Macron to ensure that France "as a member of the United Nations Security Council, use all its influence" and “enable the Tamil people to finally live in safety in Sri Lanka”, bringing attention to “the alarming situation in which the Tamil community currently finds itself in Sri Lanka” in a letter to President Macron.
The politicians called on France to “act urgently” and “use all its influence for the success of real, lasting and shared peace in Sri Lanka” as a member of the United Nations Security Council; and concluded:
“Persecution and discrimination against the Tamil community must cease immediately, crimes committed during the civil war must be recognized and punished as well as looted land returned. France must put all its power in to enable the Tamil people to finally live in safety in Sri Lanka.”
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
