Our Sri Lankan armed forces have defeated the terrorist organization the LTTE on the battle field and now dawns a new era, an era in which all Sri Lankans come together to rebuild our nation. As our president, Mahinda Rajapaksa said in this speech Tuesday morning addressed to the parliament; there are no minorities in Sri Lanka, only Sri Lankans.

When the LTTE struck, they struck indiscriminately. When they bombed public transport, they killed Sri Lankans. There were Sinhalese, Tamils, Muslims, Burgers, and Malays who suffered as a result of their attacks.

Extract from His Excellency’s speech:

“‘Our aim was to liberate our Tamil people from the clutches of the LTTE’  – President

“The war against the LTTE is not a war against Tamil people; Our aim was to liberate our Tamil people from the clutches of the LTTE; Our heroic forces have sacrificed their lives to protect Tamil civilians; The victory we have gained by defeating LTTE is the victory of this nation and the victory of all people living in this country. Protecting the Tamil speaking people of this country is my responsibility. That is my duty. All the people of this country should live in safety without fear and suspicion. All should live with equal rights. That is my aim. Let us all get together and build up this nation”, said H.E the President and Commander-in- Chief, Mahinda Rajapaksa delivering the opening address at the historic Parliamentary fourth session today (May 19). 2347708 “

We must never forget our armed forces who sacrificed everything to free all Sri Lankans from terrorism and to give us this chance of rebuilding out nation.

The Api Wenuwen Api Fund is a collaboration between the The Ministry of Defence and the Central Bank of Sri Lanka to build 50,000 houses for the serving Tri-Service personnel. In an effort to help raise money for this fund Mobitel has teamed up with one of Sri Lanka’s most talented artists Ranidu, to create the Sebelaneni song. 100% of the proceeds raised from this song will be donated to the Api Wenuwen Api Fund, so I urge everyone to help out.

The following information about the song is provided from the press release taken from defence.lk

The ‘Sebalaneni’ song is available exclusively on Mobitel m tunes (caller ring back tone) and Mobitel customers can now select this song as their mTune by typing “21212″ and SMSing to 777. This service would be available at a fee of Thirty rupees per month and proceeds from this service also contribute to the ‘Api Wenuwen Api’ fund.

The music video of ‘Sebalaneni’ would be available in DVD format at all Mobitel outlets in the near future and all proceeds from the sale of each DVD is to be contributed to the ‘Api Wenuwen Api’ fund.

Mobitel customers would also be able to further contribute to the ‘Api Wenuwen Api’ fund by downloading ‘Sebalaneni’ Ring – tones from wap.mobitel.lk and also by downloading ‘Sebalaneni’ Wallpapers from wap.mobitel.lk in the near future.

    Could this be a political thing by Mobitel?
