Before the conflict
A Muslim lady from the Sammanthurai area speaks about the Muslim-Tamil unrest..
Before the conflict my father did agriculture work. Later he sold land and gave my sister in marriage. Now we don’t have any land. Before the unrest we lived comfortably. Now our father breaks stones to survive.
One of my sisters completed her grade 8 and went abroad. She helped us to build the house and got me married. Three out of four of us got married.
