The Sri Lankan government's triumphalism following its victory over the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) has reached a new high. The new military headquarters of the army's 51st Division that was inaugurated at Kopay near Jaffna this month "has been built on the site of a Tamil Tiger graveyard earlier flattened by the army", the BBC has reported.
The destruction of the LTTE graves in 2010 by the Sri Lankan army left Tamils "deeply hurt", a Tamil teacher based in Jaffna, who spoke to Asia Times on condition of anonymity, said. "Our sons and daughters, who fell defending the Tamil homeland, lie here. This was their final resting place and the army desecrated it."
And now the government has added insult to injury.

"harmony"? they surely jest
but then again - didn't our men do the same to the Native Americans?
