Even though the civil war ended already in 2009, the landscape still shows the scars of the long struggle. The beauty of this country cannot hide the pain of those still searching for their loved ones. 🙏 OMP Sri Lanka bring them peace and closure!

As a part of my visit to the northern province in #SriLanka, I visited #Jaffna Fort and Public Library of Jaffna. The fort was renovated with support from the embassy few years ago. At the public library, I was shown ancient manuscripts on palmyrah leaves.

Today is the anniversary of Dr. E. M. V. Naganathan's birth. He was a MP for Nallur and became a keen supporter of G. G. Ponnambalam's Tamil Congress Party. He was also a leading figure during the Satyagraha campaign against the Sinhala-Only Act in 1956 and 1961. #History #LKA

Hi #everyone, I'd like to come on here and bring attention to something. Historic Sri Lankan records ranging back to the 1700s have been from FamilySearch, one of the largest historical record repositories in the world in response to recent legislation. (1/3) #srilanka #SL #LKA

This law unintentionally erases Sri Lankan history. By treating historic registers like modern private data, it cuts off the diaspora and historians from their roots. Thus, we are losing digital access to our heritage.

If you know anyone associated with Sri Lankan national archives, the Data Protection Authority, FamilySearch, or anyone who may be able to help, please #share this post and spread the word! We must ensure our shared history is preserved for future generations. #LKA #SL #SRILANKA
