Sri Lankan soldiers in Jaffna took part last week in a programme designed to improve their knowledge of humanity and human life.
The army website describes the programme ‘Yalu-Tholen’, which had the theme ‘All are Humans’, as having the “objective of further strengthening and imparting knowledge to the soldiers, connected to sensitivities, associated with ‘humanity’, ‘human life’ and also enabling the soldiers to gain a wider spectrum of understanding, concerning those issues, and responsibilities in correct perspective.”
A few hundred soldiers and officers attended the event, organised by Jaffna commander Mahesh Senanayake relating to ongoing projects on reconciliation and post-war co-existence.
