“Our people are at your mercy” – Tamils flee Sri Lanka conflict
“I have a moral duty to pacify wherever there is irritation given to the Sinhalese. I have a duty to pacify them and tell them our people are at your mercy. They are running away from the LTTE’s atrocities – you have a duty to protect them” says Anandasangaree in this Al Jazeera video that has sparked some interesting commentary on its channel on YouTube.
