You object to them coming here based on:

"I did not see much improvement in the situation of the civilians when I was there," says Suresh Premachandran, a parliamentarian from the Tamil National Alliance. Indeed, goods transported south are still searched by police and parts of the Vanni remain closed to the rest of the country.

Despite the return of tens of thousands displaced by the fighting, the reconstruction of houses is only beginning and permanent jobs still remain elusive. There are worries, too, that outsiders will siphon off the region's meager gains.
