Just today, 21^st of April 2019 on the mid of celebration of Easter Sunday, rivers of blood are flooding on the simultaneous attacks on three (3) churches and hotels at different locations of Sri Lanka. It started at around 8:45AM (Sri Lankan Time) at St. Anthony’s Shrine in Colombo then followed by two (2) attacks at St. Sebastian Church in Negombo and Zion Church in Batticaloa. There are three (3) hotels also that were attacked, the Shangrila, the Cinnamon Grand and the Kingsbury.

In the news, a total of 200 people died including 35 foreigners while around 450 have been injured on these coordinated attacks. The nationalities of the 11 foreigners died have identified: 3 Indians, 1 Portuguese, 2 Turkish, 3 UK and 2 US and UK nationalities.

As of the press time, more bodies are being identified and families are given the chance to identify their relatives. Mourning and condemnation are the common sentiments being heard for these cruel acts. Police report said that there eight bomb blast spread on different areas of Sri Lanka with 156 people died on the spot.

More people are aware that areas of the world do not get attention same as much of Notre Dame, other areas and countries will be forgotten to allow time to heal themselves. The recent Sri Lanka bomb attacks, the Rohingya is still not settled until this time, the South Sudan famine is still on and off threat. There are millions still affected by War in Yemen, Libya, Syria and more countries who are under civil wars. But others believed that Notre Dame is just a structure that has been a subject of a thousand times rebuilding for 850 years existence causing much more of Euros expenditures before it was engulfed on this latest fire.

On the contrary, French President Emmanuel Macron vowed to rebuild the Cathedral in five-years’ time. He urged his countrymen that this will be a “passionately French Project”. He said that, “what we are and what we are to become, to become better than we are today”.
