A Tamil girl is hanging out at a war-torn town of Jaffna, while government soldiers patrol. Jaffna is one of the most critical places for LTTE and the Sri Lankan government -- the absolute majority of the town is Tamil but controlled by the government. And in the town, unemployment prevails and many face extreme poverty and dangerous situations due to the long civil war and the current fresh fighting, as well as Tsunami.
