how is it a genocide when most of the tamils do not reside within Sri Lanka? |
uh what? Genocide usually refers to deliberate extermination of a racial group within a country. The racial group being tamils and the country being Sri Lanka. In fact, to the south of the country where a majority of Sinhalese people live, they are completely unaffected by this and prior to BBC news making a huge deal about it--they were unaware of what was going on in the North.
AND, there are more tamils still in Sri lanka than abroad. There are roughly 2 million in the country, as opposed to around 600,000 abroad(the majority of them in Canada).
Genocide might be a harsh word to use in this situation, but in no way are the victims "casualties of war" when the government is deliberately bombing the so-called free-zones that contain hospitals and camps.
EDIT: spelling, fail at engrish |

| Either the media was hyping it up, or some Tamils were writing the stories, because the numbers were grossly being exagerated for this mornings protest. First I read thousands, then tens of thousands, then 100,000!! |
