Nelson Mandela og kampen mod apartheid

I would like to share a few words about Mr. Nelson Mandela. If you look at the world map, may be you could notice the countries borders in the African continent seem to be straight lines drawn by a pen. Of course the European colonial rulers they divided the continent and the countries for their ruling convince. The same method they did to our land Tamil Eelam. That is also one of the reasons that the war is still continueing in our country and the large part of the African continent. Once the European colonised South Africa. They found gold and important precious minerals in that country. Many white people occupied that land and claimed that the land was theirs, the majority of the black people became stateless and the white rulers introduced a system.

Mr. Nelson Mandala the founder of the African National congress known as ANC had been fought a struggle against it like our leader Perabaharan. Mr. Mandela was arrested in the struggle. He was sent to prison in an island. There he spent 27 years in a small prison cell. In the mean time, he had been asked by the white rulers to sign a document to give up the struggle. And they should released him, but Mr. Mandala refused to sign it and prefered the small prison.
