I joined the Tamil demonstrators on sunday in Oslo to demand a ceasefire between Sri Lankan forces and the rebels.
As a peace activist-i want non-violent means to be used always.
Norway is one the four nations heading Sri Lanka's peace process and their is need for it to do something to stop the genocide.
Some of the protestors ran to the Sri Lankan embassy and broke the door-as we stood and watched in shock.Even the police who later on came were unable to stop them amidst the chaos that took centre stage at that moment.
Let us not forget that Seven years have gone since the signing of the ceasefire on 22 February 2002 by the Sri Lanka government and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) with Norway as the principal mediator.
Let us also not forget that Sri Lanka has forgotten about the accord and went further to expel the Norwegian Monitoring Mission based there.
The genocide must stop!!!

It seems incredible that the concept of genocide is in fact a concrete reality in a number of countries in the 21st century. How it is that we can be so advanced in areas such as technology while remaining regressive when it comes to solving political and social grievances is a strange thing indeed. We are past the point where we need to learn to prepare more for peace than we do for war so that we instinctively lean more toward the first for solutions rather than turn to the latter; and thereby cultivate a world culture that honors and preserves life rather than abuse and destroy it.

RESOURCES
Aberjhani-in developing countries-the situation is different-People are still fighting for resources.
Democracy is yet to be fully realised.Families run some countries or a select few-in the long run-they abuse everything and as always people revolt and the effects are what you are seeing.
Gone through it Kenya-still going through it-Look at lawless Somalia,Torn Sudan,Unrelenting North Korea and fallen Burma.The list is endless.
Dictators have no conscience!!!
May Peace Prevail on Earth.

Well said
Not only are the people fighting for the resources that come from their ground but also certain very large asian super power countries are happily exploiting the lawlessness in these countries. So the average person in these countries lose on both fronts, they lose their money and the minerals. Good work on keeping this on the front burner.

Believe it or not Jack, the "situation" might be less different than you think. Many individuals on this side of the world also fight regularly for various resources and many die because of a lack of those resources.
Democracy is something that is possibly never fully realized but an organic process that communities and individuals have to constantly cultivate. Some acts of lawlessness in some countries tend to be more publicized than in others but we are all seeking to establish greater harmony, prosperity, integrity, and sanity in the world.
