Haunting melodies from ex-combatants
A musical group 'Samaye Mithuro' (Friends of Peace) formed by ex-combatants recently showcased its musical talents at the Vavuniya Cultural Hall after their rehabilitation.
The Sinhala song they played 'Api Okkoma Rajawaru, Okkoma Wesiyo' captured a wider audience and later the group played some Tamil and Sinhala songs.
If not have been rehabilitated or retrained by the government, their talents would remain buried and never come into light. Efforts to make them useful to the society by the government have been praised across the world.
Moreover, the security forces in-charge-of rehabilitating these members said that they would make arrangements to have this group as a professional musical group in the future, and it would bring them an income too.
