The Government of Sri Lanka has started a census [2] on the deaths, missing people and damage to property in the conflict with the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam [3] affecting the Tamil minorities from 1983 to 2009. Serendipity blog [4] hopes that the counting would be done properly:
Whilst the press and the HRC and other bodies are hailing it as a first step, I personally would like to see a proper accounting of ALL people NOT accounted for since 1982, as it also may include the 30,000+ people missing during the second JVP uprising, whose remains have NOT yet been found.
