The town of Weliweriya resembled a war zone today as buffle vehicles and army personnel patrolled along the roads that were tattered following yesterday’s violent clash between the military and the villagers. The clash resulted in the death of a 17 year-old school boy and injured dozens of others. Pix by Kushan Pathiraja

Its very sad...that the Army had converted a peaceful rally to a WAR Zone....those are the people who prayed for them & made the as national heroes , ironically they went in to the same church & attacked them.

WAKE UP people....! these are just innocent villages just asked for clean water.

If these animals can treat their own people like this. What can people in North- East can expect from them ?.

Kaslana Friday, 02 August 2013 05:50 PM

I don't know why some people keep blaming the voters when the voters have lost their democratic right through tyranny and their votes are stolen by those who rig elections to win at whatever cost. Sri Lanka is no worse a banana republic than Zimbabwe.

THE RESULT WHAT IS BEEN RECEIVED IS WHAT THOSE WHO SENT TO THE BANK AS THEIR DEPOSITS , NOW IT IS VERY CLEAR TO SRI LANKA AND TO THE WHOLE WORLD , THOSE WHO LEGALLY WIN WILL NEVER DO THIS TYPE OF TYRANNY ACT , IT IS THE PUBLIC LIKE US TO BE BLAMED , NO OTHERS TO BLAME , WHEN WE WILL LEARN A LESSON WHOM TO ELECT TO RULE OVER US , IF WE ARE BAD THEN GOD ALMIGHTY WILL SEND UPON US TYRANNY RULERS TO RULE OVER US .

Where are we heading? People who are with Govt please tell us whether you accept this?

Yoosuf Friday, 02 August 2013 05:03 PM

as expected, won the war, by winning the crowd of southern, and try to stay in power by creating yet another war with civilians

I am seeing the Gaddafi/Hased Al Basher and Hosni Mubarak kind of ruling right now, everything to keep the power within?

Everybody who have teenage suns must be crying inwardly except politicians.

Now we can imagine how these people treat North East people during the war

RajasH Friday, 02 August 2013 02:00 PM

hi guys this is what North East is like every day and every hour

lankaputha Friday, 02 August 2013 01:50 PM

When they asked for clean water the government gave them red hot bulets and red blood. A pathetic start from the new Army Commander.

Loku Boru Friday, 02 August 2013 01:39 PM

We need to see who and where the main responsibility comes from and deal with it.'
Guess , like in any company, the Boss needs to be held responsible , at times like this.

Sad day for Sri Lanka. All issues should be solved through Amicably and not through violance.

Has the Wanni relocated?

DInu Friday, 02 August 2013 01:18 PM

Mr Gota dont blame people educate Police and forces not to kill people when they protest, its a basic right. Police should have used tear gas.if they really wanted to control situation. Its very sad of Sri Lanka's democracy.

Its only a start

Namal Perera Friday, 02 August 2013 12:55 PM

Citizens request for drinking water and the corrupt Regime reply with Guns deploying the Army. This is corrupt, lawless Banana Republic and hard to believe this is former democratic Sri Lanka.

MagodisThuma Friday, 02 August 2013 12:38 PM
