Back in 03 I got the opportunity to go to the de-facto state of Tamil Eelam. I was in grade 6 at the time. I went around getting “autographs” from LTTE fighters that I would meet. To me, I was meeting sisters and brothers that were only known to me in stories from my parents.
Preparatory steps for the 16th Tamil Genocide Commemoration began today.
The Tamil Genocide Commemoration Committee calls on all Tamil people to gather in Mullivaikkal on May 18, 2025, to commemorate those massacred during the 2009 Tamil Genocide in the final phases of the war.

As part of our 5th phase of the Cyclone Fengal Donation Drive, another 2 lakhs were distributed to 91 families in Amparai on Jan 10th. Vidiyal created this video to showcase their efforts so far.
On this day, let us honour Tamil women in the diaspora, in the homeland, and those who led our movement. You continue to fight not just to break chains, but to dismantle every system that seeks to silence us.

As part of our fourth phase of the Cyclone Fengal Donation Drive, another 1.5 lakhs were distributed to 60 families affected in Mullaitivu on Dec 22nd 2024.
Phase 3 of our Cyclone Fengal Relief Fund was distributed to 60 families in Kilinochchi on Dec 19th. A total of 1.5 lakhs of the overall 12 lakhs raised were sent to those most affected by the natural disaster that swept the Tamil homeland in December 2024.
In the 2nd phase of our Cyclone Fengal drive, we provided relief to 90 families. Our gratitude to everyone who supported this effort and for their generous contribution towards alleviating the suffering of our people plagued by the recent climate disaster.

Championing revolution w/in the halls of capitalism, while being given approval by said corp shows that the system is not being challenged.
The dancer with the Palestine/Sudan flag that got escorted out is a testament to that. A contradiction to the “revolution” in real time.
I’m sorry yall, but that Kendrick performance was not the revolution you think it is. The NFL, a multi-billion dollar corp. signing off on a political performance, is just that, a performance.
There is no revolution without challenging the status quo and capitalist ideology.
By extending our support to our brothers and sisters from the up-country region, we are only building upon this tradition of solidarity and friendship with a community that remains the most exploited and dehumanized on the Island. 3/3
Although this region geographically falls outside of the Tamil homeland, the struggle for Tamil national liberation has always unequivocally included the plight of plantation Tamils who face a particular form of oppression and exploitation from the Sri Lankan state. 2/3
Cyclone Fengal Relief Phase 1:
The 1st part of the aid was sent on Dec 13 to plantation Tamils living in the up-country region. Thank you to our community and comrades for moving quickly to help alleviate the suffering and to improve the dire conditions of our people. 1/3
As Colombo commemorates its bogus independence day today, the Tamil homeland marks the same day with hartal strikes and black flags, rejecting the legitimacy of the Sri Lankan state.
Free Tamil Eelam
Cyclone Fengal has engulfed the Tamil homeland, leaving tens of thousands displaced as floods have left communities across the island devastated. In under a week, approximately 200,000 people have been affected by the climate disaster in the North-East.

📍Chatty Thuyilum Illam, Jaffna.
At the site of a destroyed LTTE cemetery where locals have gathered tombstones to build a memorial.
Tomorrow marks Maaveerar Naal, a date when Tamils across the world pay tribute to those sacrificed their lives for liberation.
#maaveerarnaal
Turn up the volume.
This is the scene outside the Sri Lankan Army’s 522 Brigade. The camp is built on top of a cemetery for fallen Tamil fighters that they destroyed.
Today, Tamils lined the road with red and yellow flags and constructed their own memorial opposite where their loved ones were buried.
They have made garlands and banners, and are playing Tamil Eelam liberation songs from speakers.
Loud enough for the soldiers inside to hear.

And not to mention, the film features a 🔥 track from @shanvdp
So great to see our people on the big screen, highlighting the Eelam cause in a way we have rarely seen before.
“Little Jaffna” directed by and starring Lawrence Valin at @TIFF_NET was 🔥
An incredible tale depicting the realities of working-class Tamils in Paris, their unwavering commitment to the liberation of Tamil Eelam, and grappling with internal conflicts within the community.
BREAKING: We’ve shut down all access to CANSEC, North America’s largest arms fair. This is where the weapons devastating Rafah right now are being sold. Where Israeli military reps are trying to justify their genocide. No one is getting into this arms fair here in Ottawa today.
