Sri Lanka's relief and rehabilitation minister, Risath Badiuddeen, is a Muslim from northern town of Mannar. Like others he too left his home and lived as a refugee for five years in the Puttalam area.
He says once the land mines are cleared, the process of re-settling of displaced Tamils and Muslims will take place.
'It will be much easier to resettle Tamils, because they moved out recently. Many of their houses are damaged but with some repair they can live there. On the other hand many houses which once belonged to the Muslims are completely destroyed. Some will even find it difficult to locate their ancestral lands. The government will help them to get necessary documents. It will also help those who have decided not to return' he says.
Many Muslims say they have no ill will towards the ordinary Tamils and are hopeful of living with them in peace as their forefathers have done for centuries.

More on Sri Lanka not a Sinhala country
Dushy Ranetunge goes on to assert that the shrines in Tissamaharama may have been constructed by a tribe such as 'Nagas' and not Sinhalese, citing Magama and Kelaniya as examples where the 'Naga' tribe had lived in numbers. Strange. He does not seem to understand the long history of this country. He appears not to know that the Helaya became Sivu Helaya somewhere in the 1100 to 1500 B.C. due to the tribes mentioned above. And it was the Sivu Helaya that later came to be known as 'Sinhale' by the time of the chance arrival of the Portuguese on the western coast of Sri Lanka. The foreigners simply because they could not pronounce the world 'Sinhale' correctly, called it 'Seylan'. |
