As of 2 May 2010 In place of origin: 119,706 With host families: 93,329 In institutions: 1,192 Ι. SITUATION OVERVIEW & HIGHLIGHTS Resettlement update • Return movements from Menik Farm and host families resumed on 16 April after a temporary suspension at the end of March over the general election period. During the second half of April, 4,804 people were returned as follows: To Mullaitivu District: 9 On 16 April, 1,071 IDPs from Menik Farm to Karaithurappattru in Maratimepattu District Secretariat (DS) division 9 On 18 April, 907 IDPs from Menik Farm to Oddusuddan DS division 9 On 20 April, 987 IDPs from host families to Karaithurappattru in Maratimepattu DS division 9 On 22 April, 787 IDPs from host families to Oddusuddan DS division To Vavuniya District: 9 On 27 April, 1,052 IDPs from Menik Farm to Vavuniya North DS division Replenishment of tin sheets for returnees required • Government authorities are working to replenish stocks of tin sheets.

Although IDPs receive MRE in IDP camps and upon return to their areas of origin, families may place themselves in danger to assert ownership of their lands. Local authorities are introducing safeguards to prevent the reoccurrence of similar situations. Land documentation • Many returnees are facing difficulty to claim their properties in the absence of land documentation lost during their displacement. Clear land policies and procedures to resolve conflicts are required to avert community tensions when several parties stake a claim to the same lands. More surrendee sites in school premises decommissioned • In Vavuniya District, the surrendee sites sharing premises with the Vavuniya Hindu College, Poonthottam and Vellikulam Schools were vacated and decommissioned. Internews media services for Jaffna District returnees • From April, access to information for displaced and returning persons in Jaffna District improved through the distribution of the Internews weekly newspaper Lifeline and radio shows on the Sri Lanka Broadcasting Corporation Tamil National Service and the Yal FM Jaffna service. Internews services now extend to the IDP camps and resettlement areas across the Northern Province. Internews provides information services for IDPs and returnees in partnership with Government, UN, I/NGO, the private sector and others. II. Sector Overviews & highlights Shelter / NFI In the Vanni return areas: • Shelter and WASH sector leads are working with partners to ensure complementary support in the areas of return. • The Ministry of Resettlement has decided the following allocation of 400,000 cement bags donated by the Indian Government for returnees.

Resettlement Coordinators and Assistants will assist the respective Government Agent offices to carry out the distribution.

  • Uthuru Mithuru Friendship Railway
    Proposal for the North-South Friendship Railway (Not So FaR) Uthuru Mithuru Friendship Railway Amal S. Kumarage 15 th February 2009 Impacts of Terrorism • One of the first casualties of terrorism was the severance of linkages by the terrorists between the north and the south as early as xxxxxxxx. Despite several repairs to track and bridges the line was permanently closed after the xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. The A9 road that connects the Jaffna peninsula and the northern part was also closed after terrorists overran townships along the roadway around xxxx. • With the severance of the once popular land transport linkages, people in the north and in the south were forced to take air transport or sea transport which were always either too expensive or too time consuming, besides been more riskier as well. Gradually linkages between the north and south reduced to a bear minimum and the different communities became strangers. With both rail and roadways fully or partially closed for around two decades, the once close communities became distant and suspect. With nearly one whole generation having ever been to the south or having met each other socially, the terrorist were able to sow seeds of a monstrous enemy and recruit many young fighters for their cause. Pre-requisite for Peace and Development • The restoration of land transport is thus one of the first and necessary pre-requisites for lasting peace between communities. The restoration of the once popular trading linkages, pilgrimages to Kataragama by people in the north and to Naga Deepa by people in the south are essential building blocks for learning to trust each other.
