Rallying the Countryside:

Posters Placed By the Eppawala Pospet Komituwa, December, 1998


Poster beside a village temple:     The treacherous betrayal of Eppawala:
11,000 families will be dispossessed
of their lands!
Let's carefully make battle
for our heritage
in our homelands and farmlands.


Poster on a rural reservoir bund:     Let's not permit
the treacherous betrayal,
making the ancient heartland an oblation
into the mouth of the Makara (Demon of Death)!
Don't sacrifice Eppawala
to the Demon McMoRan!


Poster on an electricity pole:     The Betrayal of Eppawala,
the destruction of the
People and the Environment!
Angry farmers and workers:
Let's Make Battle!
