Sri Lankan soldiers give blood to tsunami victims in rebel-held areas
Associated Press, Wed January 5, 2005 05:02 EST . COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) Sri Lankan soldiers donated blood to help tsunami victims in the island's rebel-controlled north, a military spokesman said Wednesday. The gesture was unusual because Sri Lanka's army and the Tamil Tiger rebels have fought a bitter war since the insurgents launched their violent campaign for a separate homeland for the island's minority Tamils in 1983.
The military has also been accused of rampant human rights abuses against the Tamil minority.
The two sides stopped fighting after a Norwegian-brokered truce was signed in February 2002. But peace talks collapsed in April 2003 because of differences over power-sharing, and efforts to revive them have repeatedly failed.
More than 30,000 people were killed in Sri Lanka and hundreds of thousands displaced in the tsunamis that hit many Asian countries last week.
