SLA re-confiscates land ‘declared’ resettled in Jaffna HSZ

The Sinhala state occupying the country of Eezham Tamils will never observe any of the ‘reconciliation’ hoodwink it simulates to the outside world. This becomes explicitly evident with the Sri Lanka military re-occupying villages ‘declared’ for resettlement in the Valikaamam High Security Zone, to create an extensive and fenced militarized region along the northern coast of Jaffna, news sources in Jaffna exposed.

Yet, those seemed important since ministerial approval was required statutorily for the appointments to be made or funds to be apportioned.
