Welcome to this blogg. More than 80 million tamil people live in many countries across distant seas. There is no state without a Tamil - but there is no state for the tamils. Velkommen til denne bloggen. Her vil jeg oppdatere nyheter om tamiler og deres kamp for et selvstyre både på Sri Lanka og utenfor øya. என்னுடைய இந்த இணைத்தளத்திற்கு வருகை தந்தமைக்கு நன்றி: தமிழன் இல்லாத நாடில்லை, தமிழனுக்கென்று ஓர் நாடில்லை

French deminer killed in mine blast in Sri Lanka - Fransk minerydder drept i landmine eksplosjon på Sri Lanka
An accidental land mine explosion Monday killed a French deminer in northern Sri Lanka, his employer said.
Dominic Morin, a 55-year-old demining expert working for the Swiss Foundation for Mine Action, died after being admitted to Vavuniya General Hospital following the blast, said Nigel Robinson the agency's local program manager.
He said the accident happened in a village near the northern town of Vavuniya, the gateway to the former Tamil Tiger rebel stronghold.
Ben Truniger, the demining agency's deputy director, said Morin's family members in France have been notified.
Sri Lankan soldiers ended a 25-year civil war with the Tamil Tigers one year ago and authorities say the former conflict zones in the island nation's north and east are still strewn with mines.
Between 80,000-100,000 people were killed in the civil war.
