An unidentified explosion killed two people who were among the refugees resettled in Chavakacheri, near a Hindu Temple in the Jaffna peninsula, the police media unit said.

According to the police the two people were clearing the land in the area together with 30 others and had set fire to some dirt when the explosion occurred.

The police have yet to determine what caused the explosion. A post mortem on the victims will be carried out later today.

This is something the international community should understand for the long outstanding resettlement! The ground is yet not clear for the process!

The cause for this tragic incident should obviously be an uncleared mine. This clearly demonstrates the importance of demining as a prerequisite to resettlement of IDPs. Yet, one may recollect that many, here and abroad, who turned vociferous about the delays in resettling IDPs did rarely take note of the need for demining as a critical factor associated with the task of resettlement.

Donor country money, to clear these lands, has ended-up in a politician’s bank account?
