The Sri Lankan army - the all-rounder, ever expanding security force - has found yet another civilian project to venture into - education.

A new computer centre, a reading camp, books, stationary and seminars have been bestowed upon Jaffna, the army has proclaimed.

We need your support

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.

Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view

We need your support in keeping our journalism going. Support our work today.
