Nocere – Earth Disasters

News of Tamil Tigers being forced to the extent of possible surrendering have led to the concerns of Tamils residing in London. Large numbers of Tamil protestants have gathered in a demand for the UK government to step in to resolve the current situation. According to local officials in London, the protestants are seeking UK government to bring forth the implementation of ceasefire in Sri Lanka via UN council.

Though the crowds have grew larger in numbers, however, the protest has been peaceful thus far. Gordon Brown, UK prime minister, expressed concerns over such conflicts happening in the country, and had since requested for an urgent meeting with the UN council. The prime minister shall be discussing the issue with the council for an immediate ceasefire between the two conflicting parties in Sri Lanka.
