If I may, I would comment on that. It is not that the Sinhalese and Tamils cannot get along or that they are so hostile and they will kill each other. They live as neighbours and they work in the same offices in the city in most parts of Sri Lanka. In fact, before, the Sinhalese organized something called the brotherhood train, which started in the deep south in the town of Matara, with several stops on the way. The people willingly came and gave gifts to be given to the displaced Tamil people. It was valued at 25 million rupees. This was taken as far as the rail track went up to the north.
