Negombo,
a city of greatness with people of 4 major religions, rich with the diversity
of all ethnic communities in Sri Lanka, and also a great history of Negombo
citizens with diverse cultures. We, NAFSO, are working with Small Scale
Fishers, Fisher Women and Youth in Negombo. And, Negombo is one of the most
productive fishing community in the country. We are proud to be Negombo
citizens.
Negombo was faced its most serious tragedy in our
history. We did not loss lives this much at the 1983 Black July or even tsunami
disaster in December, 2004 than aftermath of 21st April tragedy in 2019. But we
do not undermine the damage to the communities at those tragedies too. However,
we are lucky amidst this much of damage today, the Christians, did not come
back with revenge to attack any community though they had deep anger against
Muslims, as majority suicide attackers were Muslims.
We are appreciate this courage and patience our people
had in this difficult hour of our Nation.
However, unfortunate incidents happened after two
weeks later showed us some organized, politically biased and groups want to
keep the country under terrorize situation and showed this Government is a
failed one. Because, the ulterior motive is clear as they want to come in to
power amidst the national crisis.
We urge all citizens in the country, please understand
the motives behind those politicians and do not get in to their trap of
creating violence against our own brothers and sisters in the country.
Red Salute to All those engages in Peace Building
Efforts in this difficult Hour of our Life time.
"Blessed those who are the Peace Makers"
