4. This is the post-LTTE history of Sri Lanka.
   What happened between 1948 and 1972 created the LTTE but continues to this day:
   1948 – Sri Lanka gains independence from the British and political and economic oppression of Tamils
   begins.
   1949– Nearly 800,000 Tamils of Indian origin disenfranchised and stateless by Acts of parliament.
   Tamils led by Chelvanayagam form Federal Party.
   1950 – State-sponsored colonisation of Tamil Homeland by Sinhalese begins –continues to this day –
   demographic pattern of East Sri Lanka changes dramatically
   1956 – SWRD Bandaranaike brings ‘Sinhala only’ official language Bill – ignoring Tamil –
   replaces English as official language. Sinhala mobs attack Tamil parliamentarians when staging a
   Gandhian-style(satyagraha) peaceful protest against discrimination of Tamil, outside Parliament.
   Tamils attacked and their properties burnt but the police looked on.
   I50 Tamils were burnt and butchered in Gal Oya.
   Employment of Tamils in government service begins to decrease.
   1957 – With tamils clamouring for federalism, Banda-Chelva Pact was signed for Limited Devolution of
   power to Northeast. The Opposition makes a protest march. On the insistence of some Buddhist
   monks, SWRD abrogates B-C pact publicly by literally tearing it in front of monks.
   1958 – Tamils decide to hold satyagraha(peaceful sit-in) as a protest but state-sponsored ethnic riots
   unleashed against the decision resulting in brutal killing of hundreds of Tamils and burning
   thousands of their properties. ‘Tamil Special Provisions Act’ passed to appease Tamils.
   1959 – SWRD Bandaranaike shot dead by a monk for trying to address Tamils’ grievances.
   1960- Mrs Bandaranaike comes to power and shelves ‘Tamil Special Provisions Act’
   1961 – Tamil parliamentarians stage satyagraha as protest and get crushed by armed forces and the
   Tamil parliamentarians and others leading the protest being put in prison for six months.
   Militarisation of North – setting up military camps all over Northeast Sri Lanka=army of occupation – begins
   1965- Dudley Senanayake comes to power. Dudley-Chelva pact signed addressing Tamil grievances.
   A huge demonstration led by monks protested against the pact, outside the parliament and one monk was accidentally shot dead
   1970 – Adoption of controversial system of standardisation reduces Tamils in higher education.
   1971 – Sinhalese insurrection by JVP squashed and emergency was declared and continued till 1977.

5. How interesting! If the LTTE was created to get equality and fairness and respect for the so called 'oppresed Tamils'.. Why on earth did they and do they kill their own educated and highly succeful people. eg: Lakshman Kadirigamar, One of the greatest tamil leaders in the 20 th century. ?
   The LTTE are terrorists and nothing else. Not freedonm fighters as some ignorant expat tamils would like to claim.

   The above half cooked history is extremely suspicious. Good for the ill edicated westerners but won't wash here in Sri Lanka dear LTTE supporters.!

   WHy no mention of the LTTE massacres and ethnic cleanising of Muslims and SInhalese. ??

   What riots are you taling about here:? ' 2001 , mid 2006 , oct 2006 during which TAMILS WERE killed'

6. Mr Lankan,

   do you then agree with all other riots and dicriminatory laws

7. I would like to reply to the illiterate LANKAN. You better study the whole histoy and try to comment. You sinhalese planned (even by Governments), started riots and killed innocent TAmils on a periodical interval starting from 1956. Just think about how many piece pacts signed without being implemented even a single fact.
   Ultimately LTTE was formed to get the freedom of Tamils. Tamil youths got frustrated and forced to form LTTE. Sinhala governments and illeterates who are trying to twist the stories, should ask a question yourself first. Does any of the sinhala government have a solution handy. If so please come up with it first before trying to debate on if LTTE is right or wrong. Some Tamils were to be killed as they never talked about Tamils problem instead they were looking after themselves and their family (very good eg is Karthirgamar).

   For any one, before trying to debate on LTTE, please ask Sinhala goverments to agree that Tamils have a problem and if so do they have a reasonable solution which is acceptable by Tamils. If the government does really treat Tamils as citizens of Srilanka, how could they kill innocent people by using chemical weapons and multi-barrel high artilery equipments. If you are honest why are you denying permission to media to enter at least government control area. This indicates that you are doing something illegal.

   We have been going through so many piece talks starting from 1956 and none of the governments honored outcomes of any of those. Hence we have come to a conclusion that getting a seperate country is the best solution. This could be done only with the help of LTTE. Further we need to have someone who could run the country (Tamil EElam) without any corruption. LTTE has many plans and they would be an example to others when time comes. This is the fear of Sinhalese leaders.

   Whatever it might be, we need the help of internation community to bring an end to this meaningless war. Government thinks by wiping out LTTE they could solve the issue. What a foolish thinking. Please help us to save the trapped innocent people first. That's what we need now.

11. It took me a while to find out who IRIN was. How wonderfully objective this body of do-gooders is to start off the woeful story of the Tamils in 1972 (coincidentally the year when colonial and multi-ethnic Ceylon was buried forever and the Sinhala-Buddhist Republic of Sri Lanka was created)! How predictable then it is for a Christoph to perpetuate this truncated story in the name of Amnesty International, and then the rest come to fill the gaps with names of more demons and missing leaders. All very sad.

    History may give us some clues but cannot help remove prejudices in people's minds or correct injustices of the past. Human rights activists should know this better than anybody else. Good people in AI, please do not fall back on partial records to demonise people. If you do care for the rights of the suffering masses of Tamils, stand up and speak for them, march with them for once. Let your voices be heard in the capitals where the hypocrits are deciding the fate of peoples and nations, you will at least bring safety to the Tamils today and may be freedom another day.

    By the way, dear Lankan, being educated in Oxford or being a highly successful lawyer does not necessarily make one a leader, not even the late Mr Kadirgamar. You are so generous with your adjective 'greatest'. Give a chance to the self made leaders of the Tamil struggle, the Tamil country and your country will both prosper!

Further we need to have someone who could run the country (Tamil EElam) without any corruption. LTTE has many plans and they would be an example to others when time comes. This is the fear of Sinhalese leaders.

    Whatever it might be, we need the help of internation community to bring an end to this meaningless war. Government thinks by wiping out LTTE they could solve the issue. What a foolish thinking. Please help us to save the trapped innocent people first. That’s what we need now.

14. We appear to have opened a lively area for discussion. I think it should be clear that Sri Lankan history has been politicized – each side uses history to support its arguments. AI has reported over the years that both the Sri Lankan government and the LTTE have committed numerous human rights abuses since the conflict began. All the communities in Sri Lanka have been the victims of one side or the other. AI's focus is not to try to come up with a definitive history of the country but to campaign against the abuses committed by each side, so as to prevent any more people becoming victims.

15. It took me a while to find out who IRIN was. How wonderfully objective this body of do-gooders is to start off the woeful story of the Tamils in 1972 (coincidentally the year when colonial and multi-ethnic Ceylon was buried forever and the Sinhala-Buddhist Republic of Sri Lanka was created)! How predictable then it is for a Christoph to perpetuate this truncated story in the name of Amnesty International, and then the rest come to fill the gaps with names of more demons and missing leaders. All very sad.

    History may give us some clues but cannot help remove prejudices in people’s minds or correct injustices of the past. Human rights activists should know this better than anybody else. Good people in AI, please do not fall back on partial records to demonise people. If you do care for the rights of the suffering masses of Tamils, stand up and speak for them, march with them for once. Let your voices be heard in the capitals where the hypocrits are deciding the fate of peoples and nations, you will at least bring safety to the Tamils today and may be freedom another day.

    By the way, dear Lankan, being educated in Oxford or being a highly successful lawyer does not necessarily make one a leader, not even the late Mr Kadirgamar. You are so generous with your adjective ‘greatest’. Give a chance to the self made leaders of the Tamil struggle, the Tamil country and your country will both prosper!

17. The following poem presents the root cause for all the humanitarian sufferings. Unless the root cause is addressed, the sufferings will not stop.

    YOU SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO SHED TEARS, AND ONLY TEARS

    We are two brothers of a family, born in this paradise Island
    Let us share and care, because it is our land
    There is no my land, your land, and traditional homeland
    There is only one brand, so united we stand

    I am the big one, you are the little one
    I am always first, you shall be second best
    If you challenge me, you will have none
    Work with me, I will pick first and share the rest

    I will take care of you, do not have worry
    I will give you toys that are no fun to me
    If I snatch them back, do not be sorry
    That is how a united family is meant to be

    You shall play with me whenever I ask
    You shall sit in a corner whenever I command
    I will beat you up if you do not finish my task
    I will beat you up even if you do as I demand

    You shall not scream or call mom and dad
    You can not sit alone, because there is no room for you upstairs
    You shall not cry out loud, because I will look bad – but
    You shall have the right to shed tears, and only tears

18. Dear Sinhalese and the international community.
    The below summary is a good example to show the history of Tamils in Ceylon not in Sri Lanka (illegal name put by Sinhalese)

    "I understand that you are upset by us. Indeed, it appears that you are quite upset, even angry.

    Today, it is the "barbarism of LTTE terrorism", yesterday it was the Federal party, before that it was the "favouritism of the British". It appears that Tamils, who could achieve equality and who, therefore, could live, upset you.

    Indeed, every few years you seem to become upset by us. You were upset in 1956, in 1958, in 1961 and in 1977 and went on acts of arson, rape, pillage, murder and plain barbarity and we were scornfully asked to go to the Federal party for help.

    Of course, dear Sinhalese, long before there was a Tamil tiger, we the Tamil people – upset you. And we go back a long way in the history of Sinhala upset. We upset the "Great" Sinhala King Dutugemunu and you still use his "history" to teach your young ones to be more upset by us.
    Reds are upset and monks are upset. The radical Sinhalese are upset and the gentle "Sinhalese moderates" are upset. We upset the Sinhala Hamudawa who massacred tens of thousands of us; we upset the Sinhala police who, collaborated with rioters and killed, burnt and slaughtered untold numbers of us.

    And it is because we became so upset over upsetting you, dear Sinhalese that we decided to leave you – in a manner of speaking – and establish a Tamil state. The reasoning was that living in close contact with you, as resident-strangers, we upset you, irritate you and disturb you. What better notion, then, than to leave you (and thus love you) – and have you love us and so, we decided to come home – home to the same land we were driven to in 1983
    Having left you and your pogroms and riots, having taken our leave from you to live alone in our own little state of Tamil Eelam, we continue to upset you.

    Well, dear Sinhalese, consider the reaction of a normal Tamil from Tamil Eelam:

    In 1956 and 1958 and 1961 and 1977, there was no "Tamil terrorism" to impede peace between Tamils and Sinhalese. Indeed, there was no Kotias (Tigers) to upset anybody. Nevertheless, the same Sinhalese slaughtered thousands of Tamils in Hingurakgoda, Polonnaruwa, Minneriya and Colombo . Indeed, in 1958 so many Tamil men, women and children were mercilessly hunted down in Polonaruwa Sugar plantation.

    Dear Sinhalese, why did you massacre hundreds of Tamils in one day in 1958? Why did you carry out the1977 pogrom and made 75,000 refugees. Could it have been your anger over Tiger terrorism in 2007? And why were thousands of Tamil men, women and children slaughtered in pogroms between 1956-83? Was it because Sinhalese were upset over Tiger terrorism in 1996?

    The same twisted faces, the same hate, the same cry of "para demala" (foreign Tamils!) that we hear and see today, were seen and heard then. The same people, the same dream – Sinhala Buddhism only. What you failed to do yesterday, you dream of today.

    Dear Sinhalese, you stood by and cheered on when the Sinhala police burnt down our beloved Jaffna library.
    You stood by when Sinhala police massacred attendees at an International Tamil Cultural event in Jaffna .

    You contributed and stood by in 1983 genocide, wildly cheered by wild mobs in every Sinhala town and city in your land.
    You drove millions of Tamils to the North-East, thus suggesting Tamil Eelam is our only Homeland. When we come here to establish Tamil Eelam, alas that upsets you again.
    It appears that you are hard to please.

    And since we know that the Sinhalese dream daily of our extinction, we will do everything possible to remain alive in our own homeland. If that bothers you, dear Sinhalese, well? – think of how many times in the past you bothered us.

    In any event, dear Sinhalese, if you are bothered by us, here is one Tamil who could not care less and, frankly doesn't give a damn"

    "Two nation with two identities"

    "Only solution is Separation"

    Thank you

23. Sri lanka uses the weakness of the international community. How SL got help on Genocide from China, India, Pakistan, Iran, istrel, Japan, Russia, Ukraine, America …. at same time. Lying, cheating is main theory behind. China used this opportunity to land in sri lanka, has oil ref. base in Southern region of Sri Lanka. China beating Japan now the #1 donor to sri lanka. It needs a military base south of India. Pakistan was sending arms ship to Sri Lanka every 10 days including cluster bomb. It created Islamic militant group in the east of Sri lanka. It has base for its military target in the south of India. Sri lanaka backed Pakistan (not India) in the Bangladesh war. India on the other hand main partner on Genocide of Tamil. It gave all resources, one reason Sonia's personal revenge, present policy makers in centre are anti Tamil, second it want to keep SL under its control and keep the regional super power. Same India armed Tamils in 80's to bring SL under its control when SL was backing America. But Sri Lanka never/ever a friendly nation to India. Once Tamils side becomes weak, India looses its control. SL will play its game well.
    Japan was #1 donor to SL, It has many Geopolitical/economical interest in the region. SL bought many speedy boat, unman aircraft .. from istral, which doesn't know SL will get massive amount of line of credit from Iran. No one no any technology transferred by SL to other countries in this game. When Bush was in power, he warned SL not to go Iran, but…. Now SL openly ignores the WEST because of strong east support. International community tested all its arms in vanni through SL. UN is silent and don't want to go beyond India. World saw the Genocide in 1904 NAMIBIA, 1915 ARMENIA, 1932 UKRAINE 1941-45 the HOLOCAUST, 1975 CAMBODIA, 1982 GUATEMALA, 1994 RWANDA, 1995 BOSNIA & now 2009 in SRI LANKA.

27. First of all the chronology of events published here has conveniently been omitted to cover up the racist sin-hala systematic genocide perpetrated on innocent peace loving Tamil people.

    Even in the given chronology, all the events are twisted to show that it is all the Tamils'/LTTE's fault. None of the sin-hala massacres, atrocities, ethnic cleansing and forces mass colonization of Tamil homeland are listed.

    I'll just give 2 examples.
    First:

    "1983, 23 July: LTTE attacks an army patrol in Jaffna, killing 13 soldiers and sparking anti-Tamil riots around the country, leaving several hundred dead"

    Christoph Koettl, has gone to great pain to point out that the number of soldiers killed was 13. However, deceitfully says 'sparking anti-Tamil riots around the country, leaving several hundred dead'. In fact this was not just a riot! It was a massacre in which Tamils were hunted down by Sin-hala thugs aided by the Military and Police and killed. The number of killed in just one week number beyond 5000. All of the people killed were Tamils. During the riots the Sin-hala thugs used the voting list to identify Tamil homes and businesses. Racist Sin-hala ministers lead the massacre. To date no one has been changed. So much so for international and local justice!

    Second:
    "1985, 8 July: Talks held between the Sri Lankan government and the LTTE for the first time in Thimpu, Bhutan."

    Here Christoph Koettl attempts to twist the history by stating that the peace talk was between the LTTE and the Government of Sri Lanka. In fact, LTTE is one of the many/all Tamil parties that participated. Here is a non exclusive list of Tamil Parties participated in this peace process.
    TULF: Tamil United Libration Front. An elected tamil political party which was the opposition at that time in the SL parliament.
    LTTE
    TELO
    EROS
    PLOT
    Some may that it was an innocent mistake on the part of Christoph Koettl. However, those who know the Sin-hala history would know that it is otherwise.
    The importance of the Thimpu peace talks is that the declaration of Thimpu principles by the all participating Tamils parties in one voice which still stands today as the basis for solution for Tamils.

    I can go on and on all the points posted here. But it would be a fruit less exercise.

    Because it looks like that Christoph Koettl is either half-baked on the Eelam Tamil issue or he is intentionally twisting and turning the history for money. He is only revealing what the Sin-halease want to tell the world.

    It is shameful and very disturbing that parasites like Christoph Koettl hide behind organizations like Amnesty and justify genocides of innocent people for a living. A great number of minorities like the Tamils of Eelam are forced to endure great injustice, oppression, genocide and mass murders all over the world due to parasites like Christoph Koettl.

    It is not only this particular parasite, but so many organizations that claim to work for improving human rights all over the world are full of parasites. It is not an overstatement to say that these organizations have absolutely no credibility, what so ever, including Amnesty International.

    These parasitic organizations wants conflicts and genocides to go on all around the world so they will be eligible for government funding, so they can make a luxurious living on innocent blood and flesh

28. First of all the chronology of events published here has conveniently been omitted to cover up the racist sin-hala systematic genocide perpetrated on innocent peace loving Tamil people.

    Even in the given chronology, all the events are twisted to show that it is all the Tamils’/LTTE’s fault. None of the sin-hala massacres, atrocities, ethnic cleansing and forces mass colonization of Tamil homeland are listed.

    I’ll just give 2 examples.

    “1983, 23 July: LTTE attacks an army patrol in Jaffna, killing 13 soldiers and sparking anti-Tamil riots around the country, leaving several hundred dead”

29. It is 'parasitic' organizations such as Amnesty International that bring these issues and conflicts to light. If you take some time to read and understand the mission and purpose of the organization, you will see that Amnesty does not take a political stance on conflicts, does not receive government funding, and instead, reports on conflicts and situations only in respect to the human rights violations that are occurring. While you may not agree with what you perceive as a one-sided approach, may simply be a reflection of where the conflict stands at the moment and what human rights violations are being carried out (by all sides and in different proportions) amidst the conflict. While I am very interested in reading and seeing the plethora of perspectives and views on this blog, I also think it is immature and unnecessary to make personal, irrational, and completely baseless attacks on any single individual. If you actually read the original post, this Christoph gives no personal opinion, does not pass any sort of judgement, and does nothing more than provide a historical timeline that was provided by IRIN, a resource/website run by the United Nations. You may disagree with the content but to resort to baseless personal attacks instead of contributing to a constructive dialogue, does nothing but disservice your own voice and opinion.

31. I don't understand why the title is "How Did Sri Lanka End Up in this Crisis?" and the chronology starts from 1972? Does author of the artilce really know the problem and how it all started? Hope he knows about 1958, 1977 and black July of 1983 riots and the 30+ years of so called "Non-violence" against the genocide committed by the majority governments. For Jim McDonald's comment on "each side uses history to support its arguments" – sir, there is a difference between history and mythology. I am sure you would understand the difference and form your opinions accordingly. If you want to define the history from the religious test which says "Princess prophesied to consummate a 'union with the King of beasts' and gave birth to 'lion-armed' and the young prince himself is described as having 'hands and feet…formed like a lion's' – Mahavansa" well god only help the tamils from these medival minded people.

33. Why should Tamils get higher marks to enter university? This was the final straw in the long list of human rights violations by the successive governments of Sri Lanka backed by the extreme Buddhist monks. Tamils' rights were progressively denied since independence in 1948. LTTE was the symptom of these violations.

35. 8% of the tamils ( where half of the living outside of North and East) claiming and wanting to govern this area goes against commonsense! Tamils have an equal opportunity in Sri Lanka. Sinhala only in 1956 was corrected in 1987, the black july of 1983 created by handful of sinhalese who got emotional when 13 Sri Lanka soldiers were killed by Prabakaran's terror goons was appologised for, Jaffna library was rebulit – Since 1983 when scores of Sri Lankans were killed by tigers and when all other civilians were killed caught in the battle we have demonstrated restrain. When Tamil Diaspora was spreading falsehood internationaly we have restrained. Now the terror goons have been squashed…Time for rebuild and let the history be not repeated. If Kadir could become the FM, if Murali could play in the national team, if Rudra became the head of police, if Siva became the Attoerny General, If Ken became head of Keels and if Douglus, Sangaree, Thondaman can work shoulder to shoulder in the government of Sri Lanka and if a rehabed child soilder could run the eastern province, what is the big issue we are talking about, it was to do with a psyco by the name of prabakaran taking all of us for a ride and we were naive not to nip him early

36. In the 1982 presidential elections Tamils in North and East voted for Hector Kobbekaduwa ( sinhalese) J R Jaywardena (sinhalese) as opposed to Kumar Ponnambalam (A chuvanist Tamil), what does this prove? The ordinary Tamils wants the basics to be met like any other citizan of Sri Lanka. Self Determination is a load of crap no one wants except for the handful of bunked Tamil politicians who cant win the popular vote and western(un) educated second generation tamil migrants who the can for the terrorists.

39. It looks Mr. Christoph Koettl has arrived FROM ANOTHER PLANET and simply borrowed the partial government (of Sri Lanka) story for the consumption of the ignorant that the government is waging a war on terrorism started by the LTTE. I said partial story because if Mr Koettl bothered to speak to the faithful Sinhala Buddhist chauvinists or read a copy of their Bible, the Mahavansa, he would have learnt the story of Dutta Gemunu (the present president is held as a reincarnation of Dutta Gemunu ) and Elara more than a 1000 years ago. What a pity such ignorant are holding position in AI !! If Mr Koettl is interested in learning about the truth about the war in Sri Lanka, I strongly urge him to read the following article byRichard Nixon in the London Telegraph:

42. The writer was probably born after 1972, and has only one 'seeing' eye!

    Wish he could read the history well.

43. Mr. Christoph Koettl, get back to your drawing board. If you are in a hurry to produce something, please do not touch our issue. This is an issue of suffering people for decades and going back to 1948. What you see is tip of the grass only. Should you are really interested dig down and look for the roots. After all I don't need to teach on professional ethics.

    Now it is the worst time of our history. Every other minute people are dying without food, water, etc. UN, world top body on humanity have made clear statements on what happening. 70 people in average per day dying. Is this not enough for your heart and mind to do something better to avoid this genocide. This is not the time for you highly qualified people to sit down comfortably and write whatever you want. Should you continue to do so, you will do the same in the future with scores of victims of a vanished race.

    Show some humanity and be a human.

    God bless you.

44. In 1983 the Jaffna library which was considred as the educational treasure of the Tamils, was burnt down by the government. Same year thousands of Tamils(not hundreds) burnt and killed all over Srilanka. later in the nintees Navali church was bombed and more than 150 Tamils killed. In the 2000s, 64 school children killed by aerial bombardment. since 1983, in north and east of Srilanka, thousands of Tamils kidnapped and massacred without eveidence. If you want to get the true and accurate report, get the UN peace keeping forces there, and with their assitance and protection talk to each and every Tamils living in Srilanka(including the people who do live among Sinhalase) you will get what you want.

45. Mr. Christoph Koettl, Please write articles that have some sense. If you do not know the root problem of Tamils in Sri Lanka please go back and do some home work. Do not draw down half the chronology that you want and leave the paramount events in the bin. The Tamils in the war zone are undergoing the worst agony on the planet in the last 500 or more years.

    PLEASE DO NOT DEGRADE THE AIUSA

    GOD BLESS YOU

46. Mr. Christoph Koettl, Don't mislead the readers with your half chronology. You have started the history only in 1972, even with that you are missing the 1978. Tamils in Ceylon were trusting the main stream politics and have unanimously voted for TULF and given the mandate for TAMIL ELAM. Did the Sinhalese government listen to the Tamils' openion?
    Where did this important piece of information gone in your 'so called' history..?
    Don't mislead the readers.. If you don't know the history please sit back… If you are conciously writing this then please honestly answer to the questions that did the Sinhalese government ever listened to the Tamils' openion is 1978 and 2004..?

47. Plese Stop The Genocide in Srilanka
    Srilanka State Terror !

48. I'm afraid. Your article is a biased article without no doubt.I have listed some web links below . I hope these brief articles will give you the history and will help you to talk about this sri Lanka crisis. All must read before write any comments. Please read carefully and judge yourself.

50. World Leaders and Countries must come forward to funish SRILANKAN GENOCIDE GOVERNMENT & Indiscipline Srilankan Army…..

51. A mass slaughter of civilians being taken place in the safety zone. The people in the safety zone are put to untold human dignity,humiliation and suffering every seconds. Delaying every seconds will cause mass slaughter. People are being killed not only by heavy weapons and aerial bombing but also by starving . This is the real fact. Please save the humans beings. As you know that the Sri Lankan genocidal Army massacres patients with targeted shelling, 64 killed in makeshift hospital yesterday. According to Francis Boyle, professor of International Law at the University of Illinois College of Law said starvation of civilians, as a method of warfare, can also constitute an act of genocide as defined by Article II (c) of the 1948 Genocide Convention. Further under article 5 of the 1948 Genocide Convention tells bombing hospitals is a war crime and it is fair enough to prosecute the genocide government. According to one of the reliable sources from inside safety zone, the Medical Doctors confirmed that there were 9 people have been died due to starvation within the last three days. I humbly request you as a leading human rights body to help us. I'm sure the Tamils are not fighting with humans in Sri Lanka from 1948.

54. Sad sad story. Unfortunately this type of selective "historical" presentation which totally twists the reality is one of the main reasons for arriving at the misery today. If even only events from 'independence' from the last European colonial power in 1948 had been stated factually it would have pointed to the true reason for failure of peace between the two ancient people of the island.

    (even if you forget everything from prior to the arrival of the European colonial powers)

    recently Matt Wade reporting from Colombo carefully omitted from an almost identical list, even the 1983 event which finally brought the attention of the world. All because, the whole issue is about blaming the Tamils (+Tamil Tigers) for the misery they face. Hard eveidence which may allow rational minds to draw conclusions in the opposite direction are left out.

    I am member of AI for 25 years but have watched sadly how AI reports have been (intentionally or unintentionally) presenting the Tamil plight. These have only contributed to more bloodshed for the Tamils and not less.

    Justice will not come until hidden agendas of the "UNSECURITY" council members are revealed. Unfortunately the Tamil plight will now just become another story for the NGO agencies of "human right violations" for the next 25 years.

55. Please stop the GENOCIDE of TAMILS in TAMIL EELAM. we want FREEDOM.

58. why do these so called homan rights organizations never report truth? so many (more than 100,000 tamils perished) tamils were killed by terrorist sri lankan government from independance, and still continuing.but they only reports majorities death only(it is to stop killing of tamils by terrorist SLA).i don't say it is right.but if ltte does not commit those murders, government atrocities might be even larger.sinhala thugs might have staged another july 83.

    please learn the history and the struggle about Tamil.

    Riots 1915

    PLEASE DO NOT DEGRADE THE AIUSA

    GOD BLESS YOU

65. Christoph Koettl
    Before publishing any facts, you MUST get your facts right. There had been systamatic killing of Tamil civilians well before 1972! Since you didn't get your facts right and published in Amnesty International, I would rather not waste my time give the facts to people like you and you should not be writing at all. Because of people like you writing false information, governement of Sri Lanka is able to kill innocent Tamil Civilians even today.

66. Mr. Christoph Koettl, Don’t mislead the readers with your half chronology. You have started the history only in 1972, even with that you are missing the 1978. Tamils in Ceylon were trusting the main stream politics and have unanimously voted for TULF and given the mandate for TAMIL ELAM. Did the Sinhalese government listen to the Tamils’ openion?

    Don’t mislead the readers.. If you don’t know the history please sit back… If you are conciously writing this then please honestly answer to the questions that did the Sinhalese government ever listened to the Tamils’ openion is 1978 and 2004..?

67. First of all I thank Christoph Koettl for publishing such an article which pave way for people to notify the mistake.

    I heard from tamils who grew up in jaffna (north island) saying they had to concentrate only on two things.

    1. Every time they here aeroplane sound they had to be cautious to protect themselves.

    2. Whatever the artileery shelling or aerial bombing took place they continued to study hard because they had only one resource brain.

    These happened in thier daily life from 1983…..1995( if you check you will find a long long list of these government attacks). She left the country afterward. But our South media never ever showed these news. They just showed ''Kathiraya'' like programmes to make up more and more communal minded sinhalese. Being a sinhalese budhist I'm ashamed of my governments.

    Former President J.R. Jayawardena said that tamils shedding more and more blood in north will make sinhalese in south happy. Please go and whether I'm correct or not. There are people like me who also had to be silent all these time and feel very guilty of it now.

    This is not the time to be inhumane.

    Did the Sinhalese carry out ethnic cleansing as claimed by the Tamils?
    The Tamils say that despite historical evidence to the contrary, the Sinhalese look upon them as interlopers. The Tamils say the Sinhalese have tried in a number of ways to:
    • disenfranchise them
    • alter the demographics of Tamil dominated areas
    • remove them from government employment
    • reduce their access to higher education
    • isolate Tamils from any support they might get from their brethren in India
    • separate Sinhalas and Tamils
    • ethnically cleanse Sri Lanka of Tamils
    Was there always a demand for a separate Tamil homeland?
    Initially, the Tamils did not demand a separate homeland. After independence and till the 1970s, the Tamil leaders mostly demanded an autonomous province comprising the Tamil-speaking regions of the north and the east. Sri Lankan governments even signed two agreements to this effect, but withdrew them later because of Sinhala objections.
    Tamil leaders then felt that a separate state was the only solution available. In 1974, all major parties representing Tamils came together under the Tamil United Liberation Front (TULF) banner. In 1976 the TULF adopted a resolution at Jaffna calling for a separate state, Tamil Eelam.
    This move was driven by the educated, unemployed youth who felt that the Sinhalese-dominated government would never accede to their demands. To fight for their objectives, they spawned a number of armed groups. One of them was the Tamil New Tigers, formed in 1972. It later became the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), which then went on to dominate the civil war and most of country band Ltte and name them as terrorrist organsation.
    world should know what is the definition of freedom fighter and terrorrist.

69. Plese Stop The Genocide in Srilanka
    Srilanka State Terror !

70. The world allows tragedy of epic proportions
    The LTTE is banned as a terrorist organisation in some 30 countries. That has given the Sri Lankan government global sanction to destroy the LTTE. But in doing so, the international community has allowed a disaster of epic proportion to unfold. This is not an LTTE, but a Tamil tragedy. Nowhere in the world has a government been continuously bombing its own civilians for over a year.

    The ‘strategic partners’ have deliberately decided to be ostriches and have made the UN also to be so, in order to keep the solutions under their armpits. May be they are right in the given global scenario, but fooling around with truth is not the right strategy. It is time for the strategic partners and the international community to call a spade a spade, and to explore solutions to the ethnonational question from an ethnonational perspective.

    For the Tamileelam as for many organizations worldwide, despite the best of timely and thorough documentation, the international community has failed to take action to mitigate the misery and suffering of the thousands in Sri Lanka. Sri Lankan government is getting away with broad daylight murder and mayhem.

71. World Leaders and Countries must come forward to funish SRILANKAN GENOCIDE GOVERNMENT & Indiscipline Srilankan Army…..

75. A mass slaughter of civilians being taken place in the safety zone. The people in the safety zone are put to untold human dignity,humiliation and suffering every seconds. Delaying every seconds will cause mass slaughter. People are being killed not only by heavy weapons and aerial bombing but also by starving . This is the real fact. Please save the humans beings. As you know that the Sri Lankan genocidal Army massacres patients with targeted shelling, 64 killed in makeshift hospital yesterday. According to Francis Boyle, professor of International Law at the University of Illinois College of Law said starvation of civilians, as a method of warfare, can also constitute an act of genocide as defined by Article II (c) of the 1948 Genocide Convention. Further under article 5 of the 1948 Genocide Convention tells bombing hospitals is a war crime and it is fair enough to prosecute the genocide government. According to one of the reliable sources from inside safety zone, the Medical Doctors confirmed that there were 9 people have been died due to starvation within the last three days. I humbly request you as a leading human rights body to help us. I’m sure the Tamils are not fighting with humans in Sri Lanka from 1948.

76. I’m afraid. Your article is a biased article without no doubt.I have listed some web links below . I hope these brief articles will give you the history and will help you to talk about this sri Lanka crisis. All must read before write any comments. Please read carefully and judge yourself. I hope the first article will bring you the genocide of Tamils with evidence.

77. Sad sad story. Unfortunately this type of selective “historical” presentation which totally twists the reality is one of the main reasons for arriving at the misery today. If even only events from ‘independence’ from the last European colonial power in 1948 had been stated factually it would have pointed to the true reason for failure of peace between the two ancient people of the island.

    (even if you forget everything from prior to the arrival of the European colonial powers)

    recently Matt Wade reporting from Colombo carefully omitted from an almost identical list, even the 1983 event which finally brought the attention of the world. All because, the whole issue is about blaming the Tamils (+Tamil Tigers) for the misery they face. Hard eveidence which may allow rational minds to draw conclusions in the opposite direction are left out.

    I am member of AI for 25 years but have watched sadly how AI reports have been (intentionally or unintentionally) presenting the Tamil plight. These have only contributed to more bloodshed for the Tamils and not less.

    Justice will not come until hidden agendas of the “UNSECURITY” council members are revealed. Unfortunately the Tamil plight will now just become another story for the NGO agencies of “human right violations” for the next 25 years.

78. Please stop the GENOCIDE of TAMILS in TAMIL EELAM. we want FREEDOM.

80. A contextless timeline with NONE of the milestones in the institutionalisation of discrimination against Tamils since independence in 1948 or the anti-Tamil pogroms (in particular in 1983) which took place since then is well nigh useless. People only resort to armed struggle when all peaceful means to secure their rights have been blocked. There's no substitute for doing your homework Amnesty.

81. This article doesn't mean any thing for me. It looks like a chapter of a novel. Actually Srilankan/Tamil problem started back in 1948. LTTE is the byproduct of this problem.

82. why do these so called homan rights organizations never report truth? so many (more than 100,000 tamils perished) tamils were killed by terrorist sri lankan government from independance, and still continuing.but they only reports majorities death only(it is to stop killing of tamils by terrorist SLA).i don’t say it is right.but if ltte does not commit those murders, government atrocities might be even larger.sinhala thugs might have staged another july 83.

83. This article writer of Mr.Christoph Koethi pen and his brain and his heart is not broadwide.He never thinking about tamils freedom.His information only from LTTE.Do you know what happend in past from 1948.The weapons cultural in 1956 take place by against tamils from who?.Riots are take place by Who?.Tamils history of in Srilanka not from your information or not from your indication.The tamils know their suffering history.The History is not from on point,thati marginless.You are not from us,if you analyser,also you cannot understand our liferights problem.We are from our history,our freedom is from our tears,from bleeding blood.Tamils history should be analysing and veryfying by every corner,means every year,means every month,means every weak,means every hours,means every minutes,means every seconds.Most of the commentators give to you enough information.I dont like to repeat that.I want to say that other way, the all tamils from all part in Srilanka and abroad,they all are standing strongly on conclusion called separate land called Tamileelam.That`s for Ltte is not terrerist ,they are tamils freedom fighters.The LTTE fight against SLG only for escaping the tamils.LTTE aims are only the milittary points.LTTE fight in Srilanka,not in abroad.Hence,how can you and all of others indicated LTTE ist Terrerist.Mahintha Rajabaksa licensed killer.Do you agree that?.Is it right?.Is he is not terrerist?.Dear Christoph Koethi,Can you see by your eyes 100KM from your standing place?.You and all also we are seeing one scenery end point only of their eye power.From that end point eyes seeing som more meters..From that end point eyes seeing some more meters..like that human history.Tamils history is also like that.I would like to tell to you that first you ask responsible persons who are well knowing persons.
    One more matter for you ,In 1977 Ex.president of Late Mr.J,.R.Jayawardana said following ,
    "If war is war,If peace is peace".
    Who is created the weapons cultural?

84. The writer obviously is totally biased and has picked part of the history that the Sinhalese want to potray. What the peaceful struggles since 1956 to late 1970s? No Tamil organisation took up arms, but thousands of Tamils were killed, discriminated, houses looted, etc. What about going back in history and talking about the Tamil kingdoms that existed before the portugese, dutch and English invaded us and put us as one nation? What about making Sinhala as the official language within 24 hours? What about the aerial bombardment for the past 20 years indiscriminately killing Tamil civilians?

85. Mr. Christoph Koettl,
    please learn the history and the struggle about Tamil.
    I don’t understand why the title is “How Did Sri Lanka End Up in this Crisis?”
    Political war 1905
    Riots 1915
    Tamil Independence struggle began in the 1925
    Banda – Chelva Pact, 1957

    Chandrika – LTTE Talks: 1994/95

86. Christoph Koettl
    Before publishing any facts, you MUST get your facts right. There had been systamatic killing of Tamil civilians well before 1972! Since you didn’t get your facts right and published in Amnesty International, I would rather not waste my time give the facts to people like you and you should not be writing at all. Because of people like you writing false information, governement of Sri Lanka is able to kill innocent Tamil Civilians even today.

87. First of all I thank Christoph Koettl for publishing such an article which pave way for people to notify the mistake.

88. Mr. Christoph Koettl,
    please learn the history and the struggle about Tamil.

89. AIUSA does lots of work for the innocent civilians but in here they missed the whole history of Tamils suffering from 1948. please befor publish any report do some more work from the Time of the Idependent also AI condem sevral time innovent Tamil Youths been held in prison without and Charges for many years I didn't See it either. It very sad who helped them to the time line of Tamils Strugle

99. It is critical that the full history of conflict, ethnocentric policies, and the breakdown of true democracy is examined to understand the state of affairs in Srilanka today. The plight of Tamils and other minorities in Sri lanka began with independance.

100. main thing is that since 1500 till 1948 Sri Lanka been bruttaly occupied by former sea Pirates Portugal, Netherlands and Brittian. on those time most of Sri Lankan women been raped by above Country soldiers, entire country was put upside down, nature was destroyd, Kings was killed, valuable things was stolen and so on so on,,,,.like this way Sri Lankans been kept foold by above countrys.
     * since 1948 till 1972 Sri Lanka was ruled by the Brittish Ambasador through SL Presidants.
     * Brittish gave the power to half blood Sinhalees. you must see the initials of the all former SL presidants.
     * the countrys wich was colonised by the former sea Pirates (Portugal,Netherlands and England) are still suffering from barbaric brutalisam of those Colonial masters. (ex: Somalia – Italy, Molluku Islands -Netherlands,Angola – Portugal, Algeria – France, Zimbabwe – England)
     * At this moment Portugal, Netherlands and England must come forward to solve this problem in SL because above mentiond countrys are the main reason for this nasty problems.
     * Sinhala Mahavamse says a lion called Veerabahu had sex with a woman in Bihar and Singhabahu was born. Singhabahu's notories son Vijayabahu was deported to Sri Lanka. What kind of a stupid history is this.
     *What (is) happen(ing)d to Kauravar (Karava), Careas and Parathavar (Parava) Thamils? these people were bought to SL by former Sea Pirates Portugals to Srilanka in early 1500. these Thamil Fishemen Tribes were systamatically intergrated in to Sinhala Community by sending these people to Sinhala Christian Schools. Look at Gampaha and Colombo district where mainly Christian Karava, Careas and Parava Christian are living.
     * Former Jayanthi Nagar now Ginthu Pitty (colombo 13). most of Thamil Citys and villages are renamed into Sinhala Names. take a look at Christian schools where mainly Thamil Christians are living!! Only one class is Thamil and the rest are Sinhala classes (ex: grade 9a is Thamil and grade 9b, grade 9c and grade 9d are Sinhala medium classes) so Thamils are force to send their children to nearby Christian Schools and ofcourse Sinhala medium. this has been happening in the southern part of SL since 1600. Thamils from Puttalam, Negombo and surrounding area, Chillaw, Mabola, Ja-Ela,Wattala, Gampaha and all Colombo area Karava, Careas and Parava Thamils are forced to become Sinhala.
     * Muslim is not a Nation. we all know that but in Sri Lanka Muslim Religion followers are made Nation by Cunny SL Govermant. Every moslim is not a Arab and every Arab is not a moslim.
     * Sri Lanka has divided Thamils in to 4 groups.
     group 1. Low country Sinhalees (Karava, Careas and Parava)
     group 2. Upcountry Thamils
     group 3. Moslims (moslim are Thamils and their relligion is Islam)
     group 4. Ceylon Thamils (North East)
     * UNO, UNHCR,EU and US knows that there is nothing left over after 500 years colonaisation in SL so they wil not help us. ofcourse we have no oil, no gas and no diamants.
     * India,China and Japan wil not help Thamils Because they don't want America in their region.
     So only one thing is left over as all the super powers are doing now killing Kurds, Afghans, Red Indians, Aboriginals, Maouris and Thamils.

     If there is re-incarnation i would like to born as stone so that i will not feel or see these nasty human things.

101. please help us .

103. We want a separet land TAMIL EELAM under our Honourable leader
     MR.Velluppilay Prabaharan.
     we want freedom from Singhalies and Sri lanka.

104. Mr. Christoph Koettl,
     please learn the history and the struggle about Tamil.

105. You have missed out the entire injustice and violance committed by successive racist governments of Srilanks to the minority Tamils.

     Before arival of the British Srilanka was an island with two nations. The British intergrated the two nations for administrative ease.

     After the British left the island the racist governments of Srilanka discriminated the minority Tamils as 2nd class citizens.

     There had been many violant attackes on the Tamils by Sinhala governments.1958, 1977, 1990 communal rots are some to name where 1000's innocent Tamils were killed.

     You have also ommitted the Militery destroying Tamil villeges and colonosing Sinhalees in Tamil homeland.

     The LTTE offered talks with goverrnment to end the conflic, but it is the Srilankan racist governemt who brolke the talks in all occassions give lame excuses.

     Your cronology is completely incorrect and far from truth. It is pointless to challenge the cronology since you have delibarately misdirecting the readers in every aspect.

     Just one example, in 2001, LTTE attacked the main aitforce base near the aitport in Colombo. There were approximately 2000 civilians in the airport. Not a single civilian died. The target was the Airforce planes which were bommimg the Tmils. The LTTE carders successfully executed the operation and in the process 14 of them died. LTTE never targetted tyhe civilians, but the terrorist government has attacked hospital and schools. if any one wants to know more about the genocidal war visit http://www.warwithoutwitness.com/

106. AIUSA does lots of work for the innocent civilians but in here they missed the whole history of Tamils suffering from 1948. please befor publish any report do some more work from the Time of the Idependent also AI condem sevral time innovent Tamil Youths been held in prison without and Charges for many years I didn’t See it either. It very sad who helped them to the time line of Tamils Strugle

107. Christoph Koettl has omitted what happened before 1972. He should have got his facts rights before writing. During this critical time half researched reports do more harm than good.

108. Mr. Christoph Koetti if you are true journalist you would have learned the history of Tamil Struggle before publishing this article. It is sad to see this article in AI USA . AI USA should pay attention to the genocide in Sri Lanka .

109. You have missed out the entire injustice and violance committed by successive racist governments of Srilanks to the minority Tamils.

     Before arival of the British Srilanka was an island with two nations. The British intergrated the two nations for administrative ease.

     After the British left the island the racist governments of Srilanka discriminated the minority Tamils as 2nd class citizens.

     There had been many violant attackes on the Tamils by Sinhala governments.1958, 1977, 1990 communal rots are some to name where 1000's innocent Tamils were killed.

     You have also ommitted the Militery destroying Tamil villeges and colonosing Sinhalees in Tamil homeland.

111. Test

112. It is critical that the full history of conflict, ethnocentric policies, and the breakdown of true democracy is examined to understand the state of affairs in Srilanka today. The plight of Tamils and other minorities in Sri lanka began with independance.

113. main thing is that since 1500 till 1948 Sri Lanka been bruttaly occupied by former sea Pirates Portugal, Netherlands and Brittian. on those time most of Sri Lankan women been raped by above Country soldiers, entire country was put upside down, nature was destroyd, Kings was killed, valuable things was stolen and so on so on,,,,.like this way Sri Lankans been kept foold by above countrys.
     * since 1948 till 1972 Sri Lanka was ruled by the Brittish Ambasador through SL Presidants.
     * Brittish gave the power to half blood Sinhalees. you must see the initials of the all former SL presidants.
     * the countrys wich was colonised by the former sea Pirates (Portugal,Netherlands and England) are still suffering from barbaric brutalisam of those Colonial masters. (ex: Somalia – Italy, Molluku Islands -Netherlands,Angola – Portugal, Algeria – France, Zimbabwe – England)
     * At this moment Portugal, Netherlands and England must come forward to solve this problem in SL because above mentiond countrys are the main reason for this nasty problems.
     * Sinhala Mahavamse says a lion called Veerabahu had sex with a woman in Bihar and Singhabahu was born. Singhabahu’s notories son Vijayabahu was deported to Sri Lanka. What kind of a stupid history is this.
     *What (is) happen(ing)d to Kauravar (Karava), Careas and Parathavar (Parava) Thamils? these people were bought to SL by former Sea Pirates Portugals to Srilanka in early 1500. these Thamil Fishemen Tribes were systamatically intergrated in to Sinhala Community by sending these people to Sinhala Christian Schools. Look at Gampaha and Colombo district where mainly Christian Karava, Careas and Parava Christian are living.
     * Former Jayanthi Nagar now Ginthu Pitty (colombo 13). most of Thamil Citys and villages are renamed into Sinhala Names. take a look at Christian schools where mainly Thamil Christians are living!! Only one class is Thamil and the rest are Sinhala classes (ex: grade 9a is Thamil and grade 9b, grade 9c and grade 9d are Sinhala medium classes) so Thamils are force to send their children to nearby Christian Schools and ofcourse Sinhala medium. this has been happening in the southern part of SL since 1600. Thamils from Puttalam, Negombo and surrounding area, Chillaw, Mabola, Ja-Ela,Wattala, Gampaha and all Colombo area Karava, Careas and Parava Thamils are forced to become Sinhala.
     * Muslim is not a Nation. we all know that but in Sri Lanka Muslim Religion followers are made Nation by Cunny SL Govermant. Every moslim is not a Arab and every Arab is not a moslim.
     * Sri Lanka has divided Thamils in to 4 groups.
     group 1. Low country Sinhalees (Karava, Careas and Parava)
     group 2. Upcountry Thamils
     group 3. Moslims (moslim are Thamils and their relligion is Islam)
     group 4. Ceylon Thamils (North East)
     * UNO, UNHCR,EU and US knows that there is nothing left over after 500 years colonaisation in SL so they wil not help us. ofcourse we have no oil, no gas and no diamants.
     * India,China and Japan wil not help Thamils Because they don’t want America in their region.
     So only one thing is left over as all the super powers are doing now killing Kurds, Afghans, Red Indians, Aboriginals, Maouris and Thamils.

     If there is re-incarnation i would like to born as stone so that i will not feel or see these nasty human things.

114. I'm a little bit confused because I immensly respect Amnesty International but it seems as though this article has even missed some of the issues that Amnesty is highlighting in your campaign on Sri Lanka like freedom of press, welfare camps and white van abductions. I also note that much of the killings and violence from the para-military which was headed up by Karuna, now a government minister, were not reported like the assinations Tamil politicians like Joseph Pararajasingham etc
     To be honest this seems to be more a list of LTTE actions rather than a definative history of Sri Lanka.

115. please help us .

120. If the defiant Sri Lankan government is not a terrorist government, why war without witness! The dictatorial government of Sri Lanka has even massacred foetuses and used banned chemical weapons, there are proofs of graphical images available, too.

121. The investigation for Rajiv Ghandi's assasination was not copleted by Jain commision. They have asked for more time to investigate suspects like Subramaniya Swami. They still have not done so due to political obstacles from congress party of india(possible suspect) The blame was put entirely on LTTE since they have arested Srilankan tamils in regards and the execution method was suicide bombing. There are 55 unanswered question put toward Jain commision regarding this killing. Even the Supreme court of India said that this was pure act of revange and not terrorism. However, the indian media glorified this as LTTE's terrorism. This can clearly be visible as a person holding bow and arrow scenerio. LTTE be the arrow, Congress party of India be the bow, and the person holding the bow would be America's C.I.A. This is why the Srilankan war have now become a proxy war as everyone(india,US, UK, etc…) wants to get rid of the LTTE so the truth about Rajiv's murder would never come above.

122. It's looks like one sided story. You have to learn the history then continue.
     There is genocide of tamils since brits left in 1948. Now the world wake up.

123. 2001, July: An LTTE suicide attack on Bandaranaike International airport kills 14.

     This was a false propaganda. This attack by LTTE was very successful as the LTTE commandos safely forced all people to clear-off location and blow up airplanes. The so-called "14" would be the LTTE commandos and not innocent civilians. This shows how easily the Srilanakan Government can turns the table around and add casualty figures. For example,they can put a bomb in sinhala area to explode, kill a sinhala person with the help of para-military, put his head near incident location and call it a "suicide attack by LTTE". They will inform media that the case will be investigated, but it will never be solved as it was done solely by the government. Suicide bombing should not be viewed as act of terrorism. 90% of LTTE suicide attacks are on Srilanka's Military targets. From the remaining 10% of the suicide bombing would be political assasinations where innocent civiliants do die. This does not mean that the attack should be viewed as terrorism. If all of LTTEs suicide attacks are intended to kill civilians and the 400+ personelles were terrorists, then there would not be a single sinhala civilian be alive in Srilanka. When the Oppressing Srilankan forces purposely bomb and shell innocent tamil civilians in Tamil Eelam, why is it not regarded as terrorism???

134. Hi Koetl1

     I believe you're article is biased, it is obvious one side story. First, you try yourself to be as human, then you will understand or study the histoy of Sri Lnaka and Tamil Eelam. I know better than you what happened there. Because i lived there more than 30 years. Tamils are killed by Sri Lankan government, for that one day sinhales will pay back. Sinhales are very happy to see tamils blood. But Sinhales don't understand yet now Rajabaksha is selling sri lanka to China, India and Japan. One day sinhales guys- you will be running out of Sri Lnaka. Then you will understand what you did for tamils.
     Mahes

135. Thank you for the time and afford for finding this history,
     I really dont think it is the time for us to talk about the history while the Sri lankan Government is commiting a genocidal act. I think there is an acute problem need to be sorted out and Tamil people need to get food prior you educating with your idiosyncrasies.
     We are hungry, living in a false hope that we may see the sun rise tomorrow, dead bodies around us. your shells made our kids bleed to death and they are crying because it is hurting them and we parents dont know how to stop bleeding inside bunkers. It is laughable that you want to talk to us about a histroy with calculated errors. If you want to do any help please feed us then we shall debate your propaganda, do you have a plan? otherwise just stop talking it hurts us. We already in pain caused by YOU.

     you may lie about Thamils but there are many genuine Journalists around the world and they don't take one side and this clip is a prove for that.
     Please do your job with clean heart.

142. Dear Mr. Christoph Koetl,

     It amazes me that someone with such terrible research skills was given a job at Amnesty International! How did you ever get through University by using only one source to reference your article?? I am assuming of course, that you have a degree in Journalism or Social Science. Reading what you labelled a "history" makes me doubt your credibility as a Journalist.

     I sincerely hope Amnesty is looking into your educational background and experience as this clearly demonstrates that you lack the most fundamental writing skill of research. Combine a third-grader and Google for one hour and you would have a report of much higher quality.

     Your article is laughable.

143. I agree with Raj Nathan. To add more,
     Sri Lankan government branded the Tamils as Terrorist to block international community from seeing the truth. Singalese people continue to live in peace and luxury life. Tamils continue to suffer. Every time, new government/President forms and wipes Tamils, gather much money as possible and they leave to a foreign country. This cycle keeps repeating. The SL government is full of corruption and bribery. That government only knows to kill people and beg for money from foreign countries saying that they are rebuilding. Does the SL government think, that people in foreign are not educated. They can only fool local citizen not the foreigners.

     ‘State terror’ waging ‘racist war’ – Sonali Wickrematunge
     [TamilNet, Tuesday, 05 May 2009, 18:57 GMT]
     The UNESCO World Press Freedom Prize 2009 has been awarded posthumously to Sri Lankan journalist Lasantha Wickrematunge, assassinated by a government death-squad in January. Wickremetunga, long-standing editor of The Sunday Leader newspaper, was one of the few journalists who continued to criticise the militarist, hardline government of President Mahinda Rajapakse. In a statement marking the award, his wife, Sonali Wickrematunge, described the government’s military campaign in the north as a “racist war” in which future charges of genocide would not be surprising and pleaded for international action.

     “The free Sri Lanka in which I was born no longer exists. Our country has entered a Dark Age characterized by tyranny and state-sponsored terror, where the government publicly, cynically and unapologetically equates democratic dissent to treason,” it said.

     “The sinister white van in which the state abducts its perceived enemies including journalists, many of them never to be seen again, has become a symbol of untold dread.”

     “Yet, we need to remember that violence against journalists is only the tip of the iceberg. Tens of thousands of ordinary Sri Lankan civilians-men, women, children, and the aged-have been herded into concentration camps where they are held against their will.”

     “That this is a racist war is not a secret. I would not go so far as to use the word genocide, but it would not surprise me to see it used in future international legal action against the government.”

     “The government itself has plastered the countryside with enormous placards lauding the military with the slogan, in Sinhala, the language of the Sinhalese majority to which I too, belong, stating: ‘Soldiers, our race salutes you!’ Not ‘the people’, not ‘the country’, but the race.”

     “Interestingly, none of these hoardings are in Tamil, the language of the people the government claims it is seeking to liberate.”

     “It is urgent and important that the world realizes what is happening in Sri Lanka before it is too late.”

     “I beseech you and anyone who will listen not to allow Sri Lanka's government, under the cover of a war against terror, to engage in acts of terror or crimes against humanity. Soon it will be too late, and history will not forgive us if we do not act now.”

     Joe Thloloe, President of the jury and Press Ombudsman of the Press Council of South Africa, said “Lasantha Wickrematunge continues to inspire journalists around the world.”

     “Jury members were moved to an almost unanimous choice by a man who was clearly conscious of the dangers he faced but nevertheless chose to speak out, even beyond his grave,” said Thloloe, referring to the laureate’s posthumous editorial.

     That powerful editorial, which was reproduced in newspapers in other countries, Mr. Wickrematunge blamed the Rajapakse regime for his murder, which he situated in the wider disintegration of the country’s processes of democracy, press freedom and so on.

145. Westen countries should take the responsibility for these genocide Tamils in Sri Lanka,because they ban LTTE and opened the door for Sri Lanka to warcrimes.

146. Please ATLEAST save the rest of the Tamils from blood thirsty Sinhalese government and Sinhalese Army. As per UN's new statement, it is said that more than 6000 tamils died and around 14000 tamils wounded in 2009 ONLY. We lost almost 70000 people in this 3 decades and lost all of the rights which include living as a respectful Tamil in Srilanka as well. Time to time from 1948 right after the independence, we lost the right to everything which includes speech, education and even the right to live as a tamil in srilanka. Please recognize TamilEelam as a country and we demand self determination. TAMILEELAM IS THE ONLY SOLUTION

147. Canada, US, UK, France and any other international community and specially UNITED NATION! are you happy with Srilanka's genocide of Tamils? Dont you all know Srilankan government kills many many hundreds of tamils each and everydays? Where is International non governmental organizations(NGO)? where is international MEDIA? why dont all of you visit the warzone, then you could easily find out who is actually bombing on tamils rather than just listen to one side(SL) ? if you want to solve a problem listen from both side. I hope atleast this international community listen to our people's suffering now. PLEASE SAVE TAMILS FROM SL GOVERNMENT AND ARMY. WE WANT TAMILEELAM AND THAT IS THE ONLY SOLUTION.

     Mr. Koetll,
     you may lie about Thamils but there are many genuine Journalists around the world and they don’t take one side and this clip is a prove for that.
     Please do your job with clean heart.

149. I have great respect for Amnesty International’s work, particularly in exposing human rights violations in Sri Lanka such as media suppression, government-enforced disappearances, restrictions on humanitarian aid access, and most recently the government detention centres that are in contravention of international humanitarian law. I am glad that you have opened a forum to discuss how Sri Lanka got in this mess – because then only is it possible to find an effective solution.

     As such, I am surprised that the timeline provided is neither an accurate representation of events and attitudes that led to the current situation, nor is it a documentation of human rights abuses in Sri Lanka. It appears to just be a list of the LTTE’s military activities – and does not serve as a useful talking point to analyse the factors that have caused this conflict.

     The current situation in Sri Lanka is a result of two decades of political conflict, which failed and so was followed by three decades of military conflict. By responding to non-violent protests against marginalisation and the 1977 democratic vote for self-determination, with repeated acts of violence, repression and the Sixth Amendment to the Constitution (prohibiting peaceful advocacy of independence) – the Sri Lankan government alienated its Tamil citizens. In doing so, it laid the fertile ground for the evolution of the LTTE’s armed struggle as a means to secure Tamil rights. Since then, a culture of impunity in Sri Lanka that cloaks an underlying unwillingness to recognise and address injustices faced by Tamils has resulted in the humanitarian tragedy today.

     As published in the Cambridge International Review of Affairs, “More than 90 mass killings of Tamils by the Sri Lankan security forces have taken place in the north-east since 1956 (Tamil Centre for Human Rights 2005). Tamils and human rights organizations have brought many of these cases to the attention of the authorities in Sri Lanka, but to no avail…. The absence of any effective means of bringing perpetrators to justice has helped to fuel the conflict.” (McConnell, D. 2008. 21:1,59-76).

     Perhaps a timeline constructed from peer-reviewed sources such as the above, will aid in a more fruitful discussion. Thankyou.

156. Sinhala ONLY bill in 1956 started all these problems. From 1933 to 1983, all Tamils were asking for is a reasonable use of Thamil and "self respect" by peacefull methods – discussions, debates in the elected parliment, pacts between leaders (local and international) Ghandian style non voilence demands for Federal system like in India or Canada or USA !
     What happened ? Sinhalese mobs, thugs, at the instigations buddist monks and watched by Sinhala goverments police and army, all looted Tamils house, burned them, robbed, murdered them, raped women and finally colonished Sinhalese (mobs with guns) in Tamil areas by the state. All these before 1983
     Reasults……. Boys couldn't tolerate anymore and facing back to the wall took arms to liberate the Thamils from Sinhala state terrorist.
     Now with India ( Sonia, check who were actually behind your husbands killing) ; China ( you can have Hambantota harbour); Israel ( you can sell your weapons); Pakistan (you too can sell weapons and spread terrorisam) all self interested other countries help, you Gothabiaya Rajapasksa and GoSL doing these attrocities SHAME ON YOU.
     And you too Koetl of AIUSA shame on you for writing from 1983 onwards !!

      More than 20,000 Tamil orphaned children

      More than 35,000 Tamil widows

      Thousands of families (including infants) in barbed wire fenced concentration camps operated by Sri Lankan Military.

      Half a million Tamils kept in an open prison in Northern Sri Lanka

      Thousands in custody – detention without trial, other widespread abuses

      Economic embargo imposed on traditional Tamil areas for more than 2 decades

      Supply of food, medicine, fuel, electricity and other essential items controlled by the Military

      Systematic destruction of Infrastructure

      Hundreds of thousands of livelihoods and schools, hospitals, libraries, temples, churches, houses, villages destroyed.

164. With all that has happened one thing is clear. We can say that the Sri Lankan governemnt "cares" for the Tamil people and thus wouldn't allow Media or Aid into the "unsafe" zone but I am very confused and can't understand why even the educated (singhalese whom I am sure are nice people) aren't willing to give full access to Media and Aid workers to these camps which are under govt. controlled area. Mind boggling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

168. It is time that we should stop listening to the Comical Alis of Sri Lanka and to start listening to the ordinary Tamils to find out what is really going on in Sri Lanka. We live in lands that give respect for the voice of the people and not to the voices coming from few arrogant leaders who are being responsible for the death of thousands in far away lands.

     Civilised world has turned a blind eye towards the suffering Tamils in Sri Lanka. They have lost their lands and homes. Tamil people have lost all their livelihoods. Many have lost their loved ones. They are being killed and wounded in thousands by a murderous regime. They are raped, imprisoned and tortured. Thousands of Tamils are left to live as orphans, widows and mentally retarded in barbed wired concentration camps. Their voices are silenced. Who will hear the voice of the oppressed? Who will go for their rescue?

     It is time that the Nations should get together and protect the Tamils from annihilation. It will be too late, if we keep on waiting until millions of skulls and bones appear on our wide screens. Rwanda and Kosovo are being repeated in front of our very own eyes therefore we should act now.

     Tamils in Sri Lanka should be freed from State oppression and given the rights to live without the fear of torture, rape, murder and intimidation.

     Let Tamils decide their own destiny!

173. successive Sinhalese governments since independence have always encouraged and fostered the aggressive nationalism of the Sinhalese people and have used their political power to the detriment of the Tamils by-

     (a) Depriving one half of the Tamil people of their citizenship and franchise rights thereby reducing Tamil representation in Parliament,

     (b) Making serious inroads into the territories of the former Tamil Kingdom by a system of planned and state-aided Sinhalese colonization and large scale regularization of recently encouraged Sinhalese encroachments, calculated to make the Tamils a minority in their own homeland,

     (c) Making Sinhala the only official language throughout Ceylon thereby placing the stamp of inferiority on the Tamils and the Tamil Language,

     (d) Giving the foremost place to Buddhism under the Republican constitution thereby reducing the Hindus, Christians, and Muslims to second class status in this Country,

     (e) Denying to the Tamils equality of opportunity in the spheres of employment, education, land alienation and economic life in general and starving Tamil areas of large scale industries and development schemes thereby seriously endangering their very existence in Ceylon,

     (f) Systematically cutting them off from the main-stream of Tamil cultures in South India while denying them opportunities of developing their language and culture in Ceylon, thereby working inexorably towards the cultural genocide of the Tamils,

     (g) Permitting and unleashing communal violence and intimidation against the Tamil speaking people as happened in Amparai and Colombo in 1956; all over the country in 1958; army reign of terror in the Northern and Eastern Provinces in 1961; police violence at the International Tamil Research Conference in 1974 resulting in the death of nine persons in Jaffna; police and communal violence against Tamil speaking Muslims at Puttalam and various other parts of Ceylon in 1976 – all these calculated to instill terror in the minds of the Tamil speaking people, thereby breaking their spirit and the will to resist injustices heaped on them,

     (h) By terrorizing, torturing, and imprisoning Tamil youths without trial for long periods on the flimsiest grounds,

     (i) Capping it all by imposing on the Tamil Nation a constitution drafted, under conditions of emergency without opportunities for free discussion, by a Constituent Assembly elected on the basis of the Soulbury Constitution distorted by the Citizenship laws resulting in weightage in representation to the Sinhalese majority, thereby depriving the Tamils of even the remnants of safeguards they had under the earlier constitution, And,

     that the State of TAMIL EELAM shall consist of the people of the Northern and Eastern provinces and shall also ensure full and equal rights of citizenship of the State of TAMIL EELAM to all Tamil speaking people living in any part of Ceylon and to Tamils of EELAM origin living in any part of the world who may opt for citizenship of TAMIL EELAM.
     that the constitution of TAMIL EELAM shall be based on the principle of democratic decentralization so as to ensure the non-domination of any religious or territorial community of TAMIL EELAM by any other section.
     that in the state of Tamil Eelam caste shall be abolished and the observance of the pernicious practice of untouchability or inequality of any type based on birth shall be totally eradicated and its observance in any form punished by law.
     that TAMIL EELAM shall be a secular state giving equal protection and assistance to all religions to which the people of the state may belong.
     that Tamil shall be the language of the State, but the rights of Sinhalese speaking minorities in Tamil Eelam to education and transaction of business in their language shall be protected on a reciprocal basis with the Tamil speaking minorities in the Sinhala State.
     that Tamil Eelam shall be a Socialist State wherein the exploitation of man by man shall be forbidden, the dignity of labor shall be recognized, the means of production and distribution shall be subject to public ownership and control while permitting private enterprise in these branches within limit prescribed by law, economic development shall be on the basis of socialist planning and there shall be a ceiling on the total wealth that any individual of family may acquire.

179. It is time that we should stop listening to the Comical Alis of Sri Lanka and to start listening to the ordinary Tamils to find out what is really going on in Sri Lanka. We live in lands that give respect for the voice of the people and not to the voices coming from few arrogant leaders who are being responsible for the death of thousands in far away lands.

     Civilised world has turned a blind eye towards the suffering Tamils in Sri Lanka. They have lost their lands and homes. Tamil people have lost all their livelihoods. Many have lost their loved ones. They are being killed and wounded in thousands by a murderous regime. They are raped, imprisoned and tortured. Thousands of Tamils are left to live as orphans, widows and mentally retarded in barbed wired concentration camps. Their voices are silenced. Who will hear the voice of the oppressed? Who will go for their rescue?

     It is time that the Nations should get together and protect the Tamils from annihilation. It will be too late, if we keep on waiting until millions of skulls and bones appear on our wide screens. Rwanda and Kosovo are being repeated in front of our very own eyes therefore we should act now.

     Tamils in Sri Lanka should be freed from State oppression and given the rights to live without the fear of torture, rape, murder and intimidation.

     Let Tamils decide their own destiny!

     TAMILEELAM IS THE ONLY SOLUTION

185. Thank you for posting this useful history of the troubles in Sri Lanka. I hope Amnesty are doing their best to help stop the crisis.

186. If Sri Lanka Government's telling the truth about what's happening in war zone and they are so they called "Controll" By Sri Lankan's Government, why not they let the word media,and organizers allowed to those place, and let the word knows the truth? Well I beleive the truth must be against the government. One thing for sure, there is no way that they can wipe out the tamils, not even in their dreams. Ofcourse now they will call me I am LTTE. Any human who supports tamils are LTTE from the eyes of Sri Lankan's government (Proves can be found from Defence secratairy's interviews who condemed BBC, USA, EU because they asked for cease fireing.

187. PLEASE SAVE TAMILS FROM SL GOVERNMENT AND ARMY. WE WANT TAMILEELAM AND THAT IS THE ONLY SOLUTION.

188. Whatever the Govt.of Srilanka and its army did before 1972, that made Prabhaharan to form a militant group is still going on.LTTE is not the cause of this problem.Srilanka can't eradicate liberation Tigers or Tamil Eelam.Western world is mistakenly thinking this GOSL is democratic elected govt, so it must be doing theright thing.Democracy is SL is nowhere near European or north American democracy. SL democracy is more like Sadaam Hussein and Irag

189. Terror State is waging a racist war against minority.

     False pretensions of Colombo is that they are the saviours of tamils.

     International community is fooled by millions of doolar campaign.
     History will record it
     thanks

190. UN & Intl' Community:

     Fisrt World Record by UN & Intl' Community acheived that civilians killed by GoSL supported by UN & Intl' Community.

     Where is the "right to protect (R2P)"?
     At a time when 100,000 refugees need medical care, food, and shelter, and another 200,000 are under shelling in a five-square-mile war zone, the international community has proved impotent to live up to the UN's 2005 adoption of a "right to protect" civilians who are not protected by their government.

191. we want the one and the only great solution FREEDOM.before that stop killing civiliions and take out the IndionArmy forces from TAMIL EELAM. One day Rajapakshe and his familymembers must be punished by international court.We want our nation call TAMIL EELAM that is not nessery for us BUT that must be important for our Generations,they want to build up our culturals, traditionals,Religions most important our language.(kallai,kalacharam panpadu). When we dont have a land or a Nation we can´t bild up the all thinks.

     When,we don´t do our historical deuty now on this critical situations,one day our generations will be ask so many questions, But we cannot answer to them.so do well.

192. Sri Lanka is in crisis as far as the Tamils are concerned. The world sees this matter as an internal affair. When the parents are abusive of their children, the children aid society steps in & separate the children from the parents for the sake of those children. They revoke the parenthood as they are not capable of being the parents. AI has the role & duty in the current crisis of Sri Lanka. The international community feels the The Tamils should be separated from LTTE zone to the so called "safe zone" or to the Govt. controlled camps. This is like separating the children from the foster parents & handing over to the abusive biological parents. If the AI or the international community is really interested in the welfare of the Tamils as the safety is not guaranteed in the LTTE zone, they should be separated & send abroad as refugees.

193. The animals are treated in a better way in the western world, than the Tamil civilians being treated in Sri Lanka. It's mind boggling to see a tiny island called Sri Lanka dictating terms to all the Humanitarian Organisations in the world, and the Super Powers are just watching as if nothing has happened.

     My feeling are mutual as that of Victor Figurado.

194. With all that has happened one thing is clear. We can say that the Sri Lankan governemnt “cares” for the Tamil people and thus wouldn’t allow Media or Aid into the “unsafe” zone but I am very confused and can’t understand why even the educated (singhalese whom I am sure are nice people) aren’t willing to give full access to Media and Aid workers to these camps which are under govt. controlled area. Mind boggling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

195. Dit is gewoon vreeslijk wat Amnesty nu aan het doen is en Waarom neemt Amnesty geen actie voor onschuldige Thamils in SL?
     Hoe kan zo'n hoog opgelijde journalist kan vreeslijke fouten kan maken bij het plaatsen van een zijdig SL rapport over Thamils?
     Hierbij dien ik mijn klacht over Mr. C.Koetl.
     Ik wil dat hij zijn excuse moet aanbieden.

     Bedankt

     Alfonso

196. This is horrible what Amnesty is doing now en why don't take any action to save innocent Thamils?
     How it is possible such a highly educated journalist Mr. C. Koetl place one side artikel wich given by SL?
     I want that Mr. C.Koetl should ask his appologis.

200. Deaths of elderly Vanni IDPs increase in Vavuniyaa
     [TamilNet, Wednesday, 06 May 2009, 13:44 GMT]
     Death toll of elderly persons displaced from Vanni due to military operations and held in detention centres in Vavuniyaa is on the increase, sources in Vavuniyaa said. On Monday alone ten elderly persons died in detention centers located in Vavuniyaa and their bodies had been handed over to the Vavuniyaa general hospital, the sources added.

     From April 1 till Monday April 3 about thirty elderly persons had died and were buried in the general cemetery in Poonthooddam.

     All of them were around 70 years old.

     Social welfare sources attribute the cause of these deaths to deteriorating health without proper medical attention and psychological reasons as they had been driven out of their native villages due to military operations.

201. Have a referendum among all Sri Lankan Tamils (within the country and abroad) to decide their future under UN observation and divide the country if Tamils support for divsion. This is better for Tamils and Sinhalese.

202. God Bless you Rasi. I and all diaspora Thamils agree. But UN must do somthing quikly to save my people

203. Will UN,IC,EU and other Human Rights Watch SAVE the Human life or Look into animal rights too???

204. successive Sinhalese governments since independence have always encouraged and fostered the aggressive nationalism of the Sinhalese people and have used their political power to the detriment of the Tamils by-

     (a) Depriving one half of the Tamil people of their citizenship and franchise rights thereby reducing Tamil representation in Parliament,

     (b) Making serious inroads into the territories of the former Tamil Kingdom by a system of planned and state-aided Sinhalese colonization and large scale regularization of recently encouraged Sinhalese encroachments, calculated to make the Tamils a minority in their own homeland,

     (c) Making Sinhala the only official language throughout Ceylon thereby placing the stamp of inferiority on the Tamils and the Tamil Language,

     (d) Giving the foremost place to Buddhism under the Republican constitution thereby reducing the Hindus, Christians, and Muslims to second class status in this Country,

     (e) Denying to the Tamils equality of opportunity in the spheres of employment, education, land alienation and economic life in general and starving Tamil areas of large scale industries and development schemes thereby seriously endangering their very existence in Ceylon,

     (f) Systematically cutting them off from the main-stream of Tamil cultures in South India while denying them opportunities of developing their language and culture in Ceylon, thereby working inexorably towards the cultural genocide of the Tamils,

     (g) Permitting and unleashing communal violence and intimidation against the Tamil speaking people as happened in Amparai and Colombo in 1956; all over the country in 1958; army reign of terror in the Northern and Eastern Provinces in 1961; police violence at the International Tamil Research Conference in 1974 resulting in the death of nine persons in Jaffna; police and communal violence against Tamil speaking Muslims at Puttalam and various other parts of Ceylon in 1976 – all these calculated to instill terror in the minds of the Tamil speaking people, thereby breaking their spirit and the will to resist injustices heaped on them,

     (h) By terrorizing, torturing, and imprisoning Tamil youths without trial for long periods on the flimsiest grounds,

     (i) Capping it all by imposing on the Tamil Nation a constitution drafted, under conditions of emergency without opportunities for free discussion, by a Constituent Assembly elected on the basis of the Soulbury Constitution distorted by the Citizenship laws resulting in weightage in representation to the Sinhalese majority, thereby depriving the Tamils of even the remnants of safeguards they had under the earlier constitution, And,

     that the State of TAMIL EELAM shall consist of the people of the Northern and Eastern provinces and shall also ensure full and equal rights of citizenship of the State of TAMIL EELAM to all Tamil speaking people living in any part of Ceylon and to Tamils of EELAM origin living in any part of the world who may opt for citizenship of TAMIL EELAM.
     that the constitution of TAMIL EELAM shall be based on the principle of democratic decentralization so as to ensure the non-domination of any religious or territorial community of TAMIL EELAM by any other section.
     that in the state of Tamil Eelam caste shall be abolished and the observance of the pernicious practice of untouchability or inequality of any type based on birth shall be totally eradicated and its observance in any form punished by law.
     that TAMIL EELAM shall be a secular state giving equal protection and assistance to all religions to which the people of the state may belong.
     that Tamil shall be the language of the State, but the rights of Sinhalese speaking minorities in Tamil Eelam to education and transaction of business in their language shall be protected on a reciprocal basis with the Tamil speaking minorities in the Sinhala State.
     that Tamil Eelam shall be a Socialist State wherein the exploitation of man by man shall be forbidden, the dignity of labor shall be recognized, the means of production and distribution shall be subject to public ownership and control while permitting private enterprise in these branches within limit prescribed by law, economic development shall be on the basis of socialist planning and there shall be a ceiling on the total wealth that any individual of family may acquire.

227. THANKS EVERYONE I have learned lot of things after reading your comments. I hope, Christoph Koettl also has learned something here and understood how Sri Lanka ends up in this crisis. Answer is very simple. The Sinhala politicians misguided the Sinhalese for last 60 years to end up in this crisis. The present Sinhala "King" Mahinda is the worst of all. He has fool the Sinhalese and made them believe that he is doing something good for the country. In my opinion, he is taking the country in the wrong direction. He has caused an irreversible damage to the unity. There is no more possibility for united Sri Lanka. This unwanted war has created a hate between Tamils and Sinhalese. He has paved a path for the Tami Eelam. It is better to have two nations in peace than one nation in conflict.

It goes to show how media has played on the lives of thousands of people. It's time people learn that you need to step out and look at the situation or even put yourself in the other persons shoe.

     in 1983 SL Terrorist Govermant killed many Thamils and stole the money, jewellery and things from Thamils. at that time Colombo Thamils don't know anything about LTTE but Terrosit Govermant became rich by steeling Thamils.

239. The government has failed to carry out effective and credible
     investigations into the killing and attacks on journalists who question
     its conduct of a war against Tamil separatists, or criticize the military
     establishment. Three attacks in January targeting the mainstream
     media drew the world’s attention to the problem, but top journalists
     have been killed, attacked, threatened, and harassed since the
     government began to pursue an all-out military victory over the
     Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) in late 2006. Many local and
     foreign journalists and members of the diplomatic community believe
     the government is complicit in the attacks.” Robert Dietz, Testimony

     [Alex Crawford reporting] “The casualties are mounting on both
     sides. The aid agencies say a hospital packed with wounded has been
     repeatedly shelled. Killing some patients and injuring many more.
     The Defense Secretary told us right now everything is a legitimate
     target if it is not within the safe zone the government’s created, and
     the only hospital is outside that zone.”
     [Interview: Gotabaya Rajapaksa] “Nothing should existed beyond the
     no fire zone, nothing should…”
     [Interview: Alex Crawford] “So just to be clear, if this hospital is
     operating, if it’s outside of the safe zone, it is a legitimate target?”
     [Interview: Gotabaya Rajapaksa] “Yes. No hospital should operate in
     the area…nothing should operate. That is why we clearly gave these
     no fire zones.” Alex Crawford, “Sri Lanka: 12 Killed At Hospital,”

     Vanni is dire. Since early January 2009, civilian casualties in the
     fighting between government forces and the separatist Liberation
     Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) have skyrocketed. More than 4,800
     civilians are believed to have been killed and another 7,000 wounded
     in the past two months alone. Approximately a quarter of a million
     people have been displaced by the recent fighting, of which some
     35,000 are now at government centers.” Brad Adams, “Letter to IMF

242. Cruel, inhumane, or degrading treatment.

     “After several weeks of reports of food shortages, it’s highly predicted
     that mortality could set in as a significant number of the IDP
     population is reportedly weakened and the likelihood of malnutrition
     across the same population group could translate into a rapid
     increase of nutritional and health deterioration. A recent report from
     Mullaitivu also stressed the seriousness of the food situation in
     Mullaitivu that people’s nutritional condition shows significant
     deterioration.” United Nations Office of the Resident Coordinator and
     Humanitarian Coordinator, “Food Delivery to IDPs in the Vanni,”
     March 2009.

     “The government has arbitrarily detained people during screening
     procedures; subjected all internally displaced persons, including
     entire families, to indefinite confinement in military-controlled
     camps; and failed to provide adequate medical and other assistance
     to displaced persons. The government has directly restricted the
     efforts of relief agencies seeking to meet emergency needs, and has
     deterred agencies from offering greater support through policies that
     the agencies rightly perceive as unlawful.” Dr. Anna Neistat,
     Testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on the

243. “The Sri Lankan government is conducting a cynical campaign to
     prevent all independent public coverage of its military operations and
     the plight of civilians caught up in the war. While decrying LTTE
     abuses, it has kept out the media and human rights organizations
     that could report on them – and on government abuses. It has kept
     displaced persons locked up in camps and hospitals. It has traded the
     well-being of tens of thousands of Sri Lankan citizens for evading
     international scrutiny. It has been trying its best to bury the abuses.”
     Dr. Anna Neistat, Testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations

     deterred agencies from offering greater support through policies that

     “…dozens of individuals, perhaps many more, have been detained
     during the screening process. The fate of such detainees remains
     unknown, raising fears of possible enforced disappearances and
     extrajudicial killings.”

     “Upon arrival in Vavuniya, all displaced persons, without exception,
     are subjected to indefinite confinement in de facto internment camps,
     which the government calls transit sites, “welfare centers,” or
     “welfare villages.””

     “The Sri Lankan government’s past record with regard to the
     resettlement of persons displaced by armed conflict does not give
     cause for optimism that resettlement will happen quickly. On the
     contrary, it gives reason to be concerned that the government will
     end up interning those placed there indefinitely.”

246. SRI LANKA’S PATTERN OF GROSS VIOLATIONS OF
     INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED HUMAN RIGHTS

     The GOSL is guilty of a pattern of gross violations of internationally
     recognized human rights, such as war crimes, rape, torture or cruel,
     inhumane, or degrading treatment or punishment, prolonged detention
     without charges, or other flagrant denial to life, liberty, and the security of
     person. The GOSL implacably opposes permitting an unimpeded
     investigation of alleged violations of internationally recognized human rights
     by appropriate international organizations including, but not limited to, the
     International Committee of the Red Cross, Amnesty International, the
     International Commission of Jurists, and groups or persons under the
     authority of the United Nations or the Organization of American States.
     Indeed, there has not been a single complete investigation or prosecution
     against the violators of internationally recognized human rights targeting Sri
     Lankan Tamils since the current administration in Sri Lanka climbed to
     power in November 2005. The Sinhalese Buddhist GOSL also engages in and
     tolerates particularly severe violations of religious freedom of Hindus and
     Christians, and has failed to make any efforts to combat such religious
     persecution which could have been reasonably undertaken. Perhaps most
     shocking, the GOSL’s primary military strategy to defeat the LTTE in a non-
     international armed conflict is to perpetrate endless war crimes against the
     Tamil civilian population in violation of the Hague and Geneva Conventions,
     as amplified below. The GOSL’s complete independent media and monitoring
     blackout of events in the northeast is circumstantial evidence that the GOSL
     is attempting to conceal its war crimes and sister violations of internationally
     recognized human rights.

247. Extrajudicial killings or Disappearances.

     On January 2, 2006 around 7:45 p.m. Sri Lankan police or Sri
     Lankan military personnel murdered by gunfire execution-style 5 Tamil civilian male youth in the
     areas of Dock Yard Road close to Dutch Bay Sea beach in Trincomalee
     town of Trincomalee district.

     On June 9, 2006, Sri Lankan military personnel or
     government-sponsored paramilitaries murdered with sharp objects a
     Tamil family of 4, including lynching the 7-year old and 9-year old
     children, in the areas of Thomaspuri Ward No. 10 in the areas of
     Vankalai in Mannar district.

     On August 5, 2006 around 7:50 p.m., Sri Lankan military
     personnel murdered by gunfire execution-style 17 aid workers of the NGO Action Contre La
     Faim (ACF) in the areas of Muthur in Trincomalee district.

     On August 10, 2006 around 7:30 a.m., the Sri Lankan Air
     force aerially bombarded the Senchcholai complex in Vallipunam of
     Mullaithivu district, murdering over 57 Tamil girls.

     On May 13, 2007, Sri Lankan military personnel or
     government-sponsored paramilitaries murdered a Tamil family of 4,
     including a 4-year old Tamil child and a 4-month old Tamil child, in
     the areas of Allaipitti in Mandaithivu islet in the Jaffna peninsula.

     On September 7, 2008, Sri Lankan military personnel or
     government-sponsored paramilitaries abducted, bound at the hands
     and legs, tortured, and then decapitated Rasiah Laxahan in the areas
     of Mandan Karaveddi in Jaffna district.

     On October 3, 2008, Sri Lankan military personnel or
     government-sponsored paramilitaries abucted, tortured, and strangled
     to death Kandia Christie Rajah in the areas along Fifth Lane at
     Vaiaravappuliyankjulam in Vavuniya Police Division in Vavuniya
     district.

     On December 13, 2008 around 9:30 a.m., Sri Lankan military
     personnel launched an artillery shell attack which decapitated and
     murdered 5-month Tamil infant Jeyarooban Ajanthan, in the areas
     near or inside a Tamil IDP settlement near Thakarap-Pillaiyar temple
     on Hudson Road in Vaddakkachchi of Kilinochchi district.

     On January 17, 2009, Sri Lankan military personnel
     murdered by gunfire 3 Tamil civilians on Piramanthanaa-Visuvamadu road in Kilinochchi district.

     On February 5, 2009, the Sri Lankan military personnel
     murdered by gunfire at least 16 Tamils inside the GOSL’s
     designated “safe zone” in Mullaithivu.

     Murasumoaddai in Ki'linochchi district, confined them to detention camps administered
     by the Sri Lankan military, stripped multiple male and female
     Tamils naked, and sexually assaulted or sexually abused or raped or gang-raped
     multiple female Tamils.

     Between Jan 1 and Feb 14 2009, Sri Lankan Army had
     murdered 190 Tamil civilian males and sexually abused or raped or
     gang-raped 130 Tamil civilian females inside the "IDP Rescue
     Centers' in Vavuniya district.

     On March 1, 2009, during a cordon and search operation in the areas
     of Vallaaveli of Batticaloa district, Sri Lankan military personnel in
     the Special Task Force (STF) in Vellaaveli Police Division in
     Batticaloa district sexually abused a 14-year old Tamil girl in front of
     her mother.

255. Cruel, inhumane, or degrading treatment.

     “After several weeks of reports of food shortages, it’s highly predicted
     that mortality could set in as a significant number of the IDP
     population is reportedly weakened and the likelihood of malnutrition
     across the same population group could translate into a rapid
     increase of nutritional and health deterioration. A recent report from
     Mullaitivu also stressed the seriousness of the food situation in
     Mullaitivu that people’s nutritional condition shows significant
     deterioration.” United Nations Office of the Resident Coordinator and

257. Prolonged detention without charges.

     On January 28, 2009, Sri Lankan Army detained between 50-200 or
     more Tamils in the areas from Murasumoaddai in Ki'linochchi district,
     confined them to detention camps administered by the Sri Lankan military,
     stripped multiple male and female naked, and sexually
     assaulted or sexually abused or raped or gang-raped multiple female
     Tamils.

     On January 30, 2009, Sri Lanka Army inVavuniyaa district
     separated 122 immediate Tamil civilian family
     members accompanying the seriously injured 226 Tamil civilians
     transported by the International Committee of Red Cross (ICRC),
     including Tamil mothers of several injured Tamil children between
     ages 8 and 10 years, and arbitrarily and indefinitely detained them
     in internment camps located in the territory of Nelukku'lam inside
     Vavuniyaa district.

     On February 16, 2009, the Sri Lankan police or Sri Lankan military
     personnel or government-sponsored paramilitaries conducted cordon
     and search operations in the suburbs of Colombo including the areas
     of Pettah, Kotahena, Grandpass, Wellawatte, Dehiwala, Nugegoda,
     and Borella, and arbitrarily and indefinitely detained approximately
     100 Tamil civilians.

262. Starvation and denial of medical care.

     As a direct consequence of the de facto or de jure blockade enforced
     during all times relevant to this blocking of medical supplies and doctors
     between January 1, 2009 and January 13, 2009, the major district
     hospitals of Maangkulam, Mallavi, Poonakari, Akkarayan, and Kilinochchi were crippled in
     their capacity to treat injured or severely injured Tamil civilians
     caused by the heavy, continuous, and indiscriminate artillery shelling or Multi-Barrel
     Rocket Launcher shelling and aerial bombardments. The injured
     were impeded in access to the hospitals because of the shelling and
     aerial bombardments. Their purpose was to create conditions of life
     intended to physically destroy in whole or in substantial part the
     Tamil group, as such.

     As relevant to the more than 1000 seriously injured Tamils , the
     Government of Sri Lanka created severe shortage of medical
     supplies and doctors in the area, and the heavy, continuous, and
     indiscriminate artillery shelling or Multi-Barrel Rocket Launcher
     shelling and aerial bombardments which would block or otherwise
     impede transport of the injured civilians to hospitals, as in the case
     between January 19, 2009 and January 20, 2009, created conditions
     of life intended to physically destroy in whole or in substantial part
     the Tamil group, as such.

265. SRI LANKA’S PATTERN OF GROSS VIOLATIONS OF
     INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED HUMAN RIGHTS

     The GOSL is guilty of a pattern of gross violations of internationally
     recognized human rights, such as war crimes, rape, torture or cruel,
     inhumane, or degrading treatment or punishment, prolonged detention
     without charges, or other flagrant denial to life, liberty, and the security of
     person. The GOSL implacably opposes permitting an unimpeded
     investigation of alleged violations of internationally recognized human rights
     by appropriate international organizations including, but not limited to, the
     International Committee of the Red Cross, Amnesty International, the
     International Commission of Jurists, and groups or persons under the
     authority of the United Nations or the Organization of American States.
     Indeed, there has not been a single complete investigation or prosecution
     against the violators of internationally recognized human rights targeting Sri
     Lankan Tamils since the current administration in Sri Lanka climbed to
     power in November 2005. The Sinhalese Buddhist GOSL also engages in and
     tolerates particularly severe violations of religious freedom of Hindus and
     Christians, and has failed to make any efforts to combat such religious
     persecution which could have been reasonably undertaken. Perhaps most
     shocking, the GOSL’s primary military strategy to defeat the LTTE in a non-
     international armed conflict is to perpetrate endless war crimes against the
     Tamil civilian population in violation of the Hague and Geneva Conventions,
     as amplified below. The GOSL’s complete independent media and monitoring
     blackout of events in the northeast is circumstantial evidence that the GOSL
     is attempting to conceal its war crimes and sister violations of internationally
     recognized human rights.

266. Extrajudicial killings or Disappearances.

     On January 2, 2006 around 7:45 p.m. Sri Lankan police or Sri
     Lankan military personnel murdered by gunfire execution-style 5 Tamil civilian male youth in the
     areas of Dock Yard Road close to Dutch Bay Sea beach in Trincomalee
     town of Trincomalee district.

     On June 9, 2006, Sri Lankan military personnel or
     government-sponsored paramilitaries murdered with sharp objects a
     Tamil family of 4, including lynching the 7-year old and 9-year old
     children, in the areas of Thomaspuri Ward No. 10 in the areas of
     Vankalai in Mannar district.

     On August 5, 2006 around 7:50 p.m., Sri Lankan military
     personnel murdered by gunfire execution-style 17 aid workers of the NGO Action Contre La
     Faim (ACF) in the areas of Muthur in Trincomalee district.

     On August 10, 2006 around 7:30 a.m., the Sri Lankan Air
     force aerially bombarded the Senchcholai complex in Vallipunam of
     Mullaithivu district, murdering over 57 Tamil girls.

     On May 13, 2007, Sri Lankan military personnel or
     government-sponsored paramilitaries murdered a Tamil family of 4,
     including a 4-year old Tamil child and a 4-month old Tamil child, in
     the areas of Allaipitti in Mandaithivu islet in the Jaffna peninsula.

     On September 7, 2008, Sri Lankan military personnel or
     government-sponsored paramilitaries abducted, bound at the hands
     and legs, tortured, and then decapitated Rasiah Laxahan in the areas
     of Mandan Karaveddi in Jaffna district.

     On October 3, 2008, Sri Lankan military personnel or
     government-sponsored paramilitaries abucted, tortured, and strangled
     to death Kandia Christie Rajah in the areas along Fifth Lane at
     Vaiaravappuliyankjulam in Vavuniya Police Division in Vavuniya
     district.

     On December 13, 2008 around 9:30 a.m., Sri Lankan military
     personnel launched an artillery shell attack which decapitated and
     murdered 5-month Tamil infant Jeyarooban Ajanthan, in the areas
     near or inside a Tamil IDP settlement near Thakarap-Pillaiyar temple
     on Hudson Road in Vaddakkachchi of Kilinochchi district.

     On January 17, 2009, Sri Lankan military personnel
     murdered by gunfire 3 Tamil civilians on Piramanthanaa-Visuvamadu road in Kilinochchi district.

     On February 5, 2009, the Sri Lankan military personnel
     murdered by gunfire at least 16 Tamils inside the GOSL’s
     designated “safe zone” in Mullaithivu.

267. The government has failed to carry out effective and credible
     investigations into the killing and attacks on journalists who question
     its conduct of a war against Tamil separatists, or criticize the military
     establishment. Three attacks in January targeting the mainstream
     media drew the world’s attention to the problem, but top journalists
     have been killed, attacked, threatened, and harassed since the
     government began to pursue an all-out military victory over the
     Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) in late 2006. Many local and
     foreign journalists and members of the diplomatic community believe
     the government is complicit in the attacks.” Robert Dietz, Testimony
     before the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on the Middle East
     and South Asia, February 24, 2009, available at

268. “The Government of Sri Lanka is carrying out military operations in
     areas with a civilian population. The aerial and artillery bombardment
     has reportedly led to civilian deaths, injuries, the destruction of
     property and mass displacement.” Amnesty International, “Sri Lanka:

     “The government had declared “safe zones” to allow civilians to seek
     shelter, but information made available to Amnesty International
     indicates that several civilians in the so-called safe zone have been
     killed or sustained injuries as a result of artillery bombardment.”.

     Lasantha Wickramatunga, final editorial to Sri Lankan President
     Mahinda Rajapaksa: “…we have consistently espoused the view that
     while separatist terrorism must be eradicated, it is more important to
     address the root causes of terrorism, and urged government to view Sri
     Lanka’s ethnic strife in the context of history and not through the
     telescope of terrorism. We have also agitated against state terrorism in
     the so-called war against terror, and made no secret of our horror that
     Sri Lanka is the only country in the world routinely to bomb its own
     citizens……For truth be told, we both know who will be behind my
     death, but dare not call his name. Not just my life, but yours too,
     depends on it.” SBS Dateline, “Hunting the Tigers,” March 15, 2009,

269. The following transcript is from a February 2, 2009 report and
     interview with Sri Lankan Secretary of Defense Gotabaya Rajapaksa
     aired on SKY News:
     [Alex Crawford reporting] “The casualties are mounting on both
     sides. The aid agencies say a hospital packed with wounded has been
     repeatedly shelled. Killing some patients and injuring many more.
     The Defense Secretary told us right now everything is a legitimate
     target if it is not within the safe zone the government’s created, and
     the only hospital is outside that zone.”
     [Interview: Gotabaya Rajapaksa] “Nothing should existed beyond the
     no fire zone, nothing should…”
     [Interview: Alex Crawford] “So just to be clear, if this hospital is
     operating, if it’s outside of the safe zone, it is a legitimate target?”
     [Interview: Gotabaya Rajapaksa] “Yes. No hospital should operate in
     the area…nothing should operate. That is why we clearly gave these
     no fire zones.” Alex Crawford, “Sri Lanka: 12 Killed At Hospital,”

     “As you may be aware, the current humanitarian situation in the
     Vanni is dire. Since early January 2009, civilian casualties in the
     fighting between government forces and the separatist Liberation
     Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) have skyrocketed. More than 4,800
     civilians are believed to have been killed and another 7,000 wounded
     in the past two months alone. Approximately a quarter of a million
     people have been displaced by the recent fighting, of which some
     35,000 are now at government centers.” Brad Adams, “Letter to IMF

270. Rape

     Between Dec 16 and Dec 17, 2005, Sri Lankan army
     sexually abused by inflicting severe fingernail and bite marks to
     several areas of the body including her breasts, and then gang-raped
     to death 20-year old Tamil undergraduate girl in the areas of
     Punguduthivu in the Jaffna islets.

     On January 28, 2009, Sri Lankan Army detained between 50-200 or
     more Tamils in the areas of Vadamaraadchi East in Jaffna district and from
     Murasumoaddai in Ki’linochchi district, confined them to detention camps administered
     by the Sri Lankan military, stripped multiple male and female
     Tamils naked, and sexually assaulted or sexually abused or raped or gang-raped
     multiple female Tamils.

     Between Jan 1 and Feb 14 2009, Sri Lankan Army had
     murdered 190 Tamil civilian males and sexually abused or raped or
     gang-raped 130 Tamil civilian females inside the “IDP Rescue
     Centers’ in Vavuniya district.

     On March 1, 2009, during a cordon and search operation in the areas
     of Vallaaveli of Batticaloa district, Sri Lankan military personnel in
     the Special Task Force (STF) in Vellaaveli Police Division in
     Batticaloa district sexually abused a 14-year old Tamil girl in front of
     her mother.

271. Cruel, inhumane, or degrading treatment.

     “After several weeks of reports of food shortages, it’s highly predicted
     that mortality could set in as a significant number of the IDP
     population is reportedly weakened and the likelihood of malnutrition
     across the same population group could translate into a rapid
     increase of nutritional and health deterioration. A recent report from
     Mullaitivu also stressed the seriousness of the food situation in
     Mullaitivu that people’s nutritional condition shows significant
     deterioration.” United Nations Office of the Resident Coordinator and
     Humanitarian Coordinator, “Food Delivery to IDPs in the Vanni,”
     March 2009.

     “The government has arbitrarily detained people during screening
     procedures; subjected all internally displaced persons, including
     entire families, to indefinite confinement in military-controlled
     camps; and failed to provide adequate medical and other assistance
     to displaced persons. The government has directly restricted the
     efforts of relief agencies seeking to meet emergency needs, and has
     deterred agencies from offering greater support through policies that
     the agencies rightly perceive as unlawful.” Dr. Anna Neistat,

     On January 28, 2009, Sri Lankan Army detained between 50-200 or
     more Tamils in the areas from Murasumoaddai in Ki’linochchi district,
     confined them to detention camps administered by the Sri Lankan military,
     stripped multiple male and female naked, and sexually
     assaulted or sexually abused or raped or gang-raped multiple female
     Tamils.

     On January 30, 2009, Sri Lanka Army inVavuniyaa district
     separated 122 immediate Tamil civilian family
     members accompanying the seriously injured 226 Tamil civilians
     transported by the International Committee of Red Cross (ICRC),
     including Tamil mothers of several injured Tamil children between
     ages 8 and 10 years, and arbitrarily and indefinitely detained them
     in internment camps located in the territory of Nelukku’lam inside
     Vavuniyaa district.

     On February 16, 2009, the Sri Lankan police or Sri Lankan military
     personnel or government-sponsored paramilitaries conducted cordon
     and search operations in the suburbs of Colombo including the areas
     of Pettah, Kotahena, Grandpass, Wellawatte, Dehiwala, Nugegoda,
     and Borella, and arbitrarily and indefinitely detained approximately
     100 Tamil civilians.

273. “The Sri Lankan government is conducting a cynical campaign to
     prevent all independent public coverage of its military operations and
     the plight of civilians caught up in the war. While decrying LTTE
     abuses, it has kept out the media and human rights organizations
     that could report on them – and on government abuses. It has kept
     displaced persons locked up in camps and hospitals. It has traded the
     well-being of tens of thousands of Sri Lankan citizens for evading
     international scrutiny. It has been trying its best to bury the abuses.”
     Dr. Anna Neistat, Testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations
     Subcommittee on the Middle East and South Asia, February 24,
     2009, available at
     http://omiusajpic.org/files/2009/02/neistattestimony090224p1.pdf
     (last visited March 28, 2009),

274. “The government has arbitrarily detained people during screening
     procedures; subjected all internally displaced persons, including
     entire families, to indefinite confinement in military-controlled
     camps; and failed to provide adequate medical and other assistance
     to displaced persons. The government has directly restricted the
     efforts of relief agencies seeking to meet emergency needs, and has
     deterred agencies from offering greater support through policies that
     the agencies rightly perceive as unlawful.”

     “…dozens of individuals, perhaps many more, have been detained
     during the screening process. The fate of such detainees remains
     unknown, raising fears of possible enforced disappearances and
     extrajudicial killings.”

     “Upon arrival in Vavuniya, all displaced persons, without exception,
     are subjected to indefinite confinement in de facto internment camps,
     which the government calls transit sites, “welfare centers,” or
     “welfare villages.””

     “The Sri Lankan government’s past record with regard to the
     resettlement of persons displaced by armed conflict does not give
     cause for optimism that resettlement will happen quickly. On the
     contrary, it gives reason to be concerned that the government will
     end up interning those placed there indefinitely.”

     “Tamil civilians who managed to flee the conflict area have been
     forced into camps by the Government.” Ambassador Jeffrey
     Lunstead, Testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations
     Subcommittee on the Middle East and South Asia, February 24,
     2009, available at
     http://omiusajpic.org/files/2009/02/lunsteadtestimony090224p1.pdf
     (last visited March 28, 2009).

275. Starvation and denial of medical care.

     As a direct consequence of the de facto or de jure blockade enforced
     during all times relevant to this blocking of medical supplies and doctors
     between January 1, 2009 and January 13, 2009, the major district
     hospitals of Maangkulam, Mallavi, Poonakari, Akkarayan, and Kilinochchi were crippled in
     their capacity to treat injured or severely injured Tamil civilians
     caused by the heavy, continuous, and indiscriminate artillery shelling or Multi-Barrel
     Rocket Launcher shelling and aerial bombardments. The injured
     were impeded in access to the hospitals because of the shelling and
     aerial bombardments. Their purpose was to create conditions of life
     intended to physically destroy in whole or in substantial part the
     Tamil group, as such.

     As relevant to the more than 1000 seriously injured Tamils , the
     Government of Sri Lanka created severe shortage of medical
     supplies and doctors in the area, and the heavy, continuous, and
     indiscriminate artillery shelling or Multi-Barrel Rocket Launcher
     shelling and aerial bombardments which would block or otherwise
     impede transport of the injured civilians to hospitals, as in the case
     between January 19, 2009 and January 20, 2009, created conditions
     of life intended to physically destroy in whole or in substantial part
     the Tamil group, as such.

276. “[Alex Crawford reporting]…the government has warned foreign
     broadcasters against using them [videos from TamilNet showing
     civilians being shelled in camps].”
     “[Interview: Gotabaya Rajapaksa] We have take certain measures for
     them not to send them out of the country. That had happened
     previously. That had happened in other countries. It’s not a new
     thing. If you are a threat to the national security, than of course the
     government has to take action.”
     “And do you think broadcasting the TamilNet footage is a threat to
     national security.”
     “Of course, because that’s wrong.”

284. Tamils living outside Sri Lanka know the truth. They know what is really happening because they have relatives who have been killed and injured in the North-East area of Sri Lanka. Many in the Tamil Diaspora have been victims of Sri Lankan State terror / Army atrocities.

     ALL OF THESE SRI LANKAN STATE ATROCITIES HAVE BEEN DOCUMENTED WITH FULL EVIDENCE WITH HUMAN RIGHTS ORGANISATIONS. You can check with them yourselves. Or check the reports published on Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International and the Red Cross.

     International Media should not become a mouthpiece of the Sri Lankan govt. Report the TRUTH or atleast publish the reports from Tamil Journalists, Politicians and Medical Staff.

     The Sinhala people are NOT SUFFERING!

     The Tamil people ARE SUFFERING!!!!

     – Tamils are living in fear in Sri Lanka. They have a miserable life.

     – Tamils are afraid of the Sri Lankan Police & Army.

     – Tamils are living in fear of Sinhala Thugs, Criminals: ex-Sinhala Army Soldiers who deserted SL Army, Drug Dealers and other criminals.

     – Tamils are living in fear of Kidnappers. Most are kidnapped at random by Sri Lankan Intelligency Agency (Secret Police) and tortured for information on LTTE.

     – How many innocent Tamils languish in Prisons today???

     – How many innocent Tamils have been brutally TORTURED?

     – How many poor innocent Tamil girls have been RAPED???

     IT IS A DISGRACE THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD, KNOWING THAT THIS HAPPENING KEEP SILENT. IT IS WRONG!!!

It's really a Useless Organization that has failed to protect the lives of millions of people around the world, not just SL.

     How did Sri Lanka end up in this crisis? you ask…

     Human Rights organizations such as Amnesty International, the United Nations (which has the 'Responsibility to Protect') and influential world leaders allowed Sri Lanka "end up in this crisis". You could have all raised your voice when it was needed most. Now after all this unnecessary loss of life and terrible suffering on the Tamil people, there is still no pressure on the Govt of Sri Lanka. Everyone is looking after their own interests (political, economical, strategic, personal) these days. AI, please do your job. your duty.

299. It looks like the Amnesty collected all the informations from Srilankan Regime
     and it's state media outlets about the ethnic conflict in the Island.
     Tamil Ethnic issue is not started with LTTE in seventies.It has been triggered
     since independance(1946) and the successive Sinhala Governments abused/
     cheated and used the army to attack/arrest/torture/kill the Tamils and their political leaders in the power sharing question repeatedly and forced the Tamils to resort violence/armed struggle to end the racist Sinhala majority rule in Tamil region called Tamil Eelam.
     Amnesty USA should not rewrite the History of Tamils with the guidance of
     Sinhala government and it's media outlets.
     There are ample independent sources of informations/history details/data available for anyone to read,analize and check to find out the TRUTH of Tamil
     political struggle by peacefull means as well as the current Armed struggle!
     Amnesty should not defame/undermine the Tamil political struggle by it's own ignorance.

300. When I was beaten by the Sinhalese thugs for the only reason being a TAMIL in 1970, ( I was only 11 years old), My concern is what are we going to do from now on wards. Since everyone agrees that there is a conflict, what is the solution? It is the duty of English who started all the hardship on Tamils by bringing together two separate Nations when they came to Ceylon and just abandoning the Tamils when they left. We are only asking everyone out there to let us live on our own as we lived before and took care of ourselves before the English came. The Marriage between two Tamils and Sinhalese did not work out very well and there have always problems. So please give us a divorce and let us live as two good neigbours and in time to come we can even become friends….. What do you think?

301. I am sorry about first sentence above…. What I meant to say was that the Tigers were not there when I was beaten just because I was speaking in Tamil. Hence, no one can blame the Tigers for what is happening now. On the other hand we all can without any doubt say Successive Sinhalese Governments created the Tigers by the way they treated the Tamils. One good example is the statement given by then Sri-Lankan Leader Mr. J.R.Jeyawardene during the 1977 riots where many Tamils lost their lives. In a nutshell, he said, "in order to make sinhalese people happy, he does not mind killing the Tamils" If I am wrong, please correct me….

303. We are facing the crisis situation in Sri Lanka as far as the Tamils are concerned. There is an overwhelming health care crisis which, none of the available resources in Sri Lanka can handle. This is a SL Govt. created avoidable crisis. The international agencies acts on the interests of the public safety & welfare, like AI should take a firm stand & step in. There is no point at this time to do a post mortam analysis to see who did wrong when & what.
     When the parents are abusive the children aid society steps in & say to the parents that they are not capable being the the parents & remove them & giving them to the foster parents. The civilians are being killed indiscriminately by the govt. forces(supposed to be the protective body). Taking the civilians from the LTTE to the camps is like back to the abusive parents.

306. All the responses above have highlighted the lack of neutrality ( equals negligence )by the writer in compiling the report. But what worries me is how on earth this report will serve the purpose as stated in their IRIN website :- "The networks target decision-makers in relief agencies, host and donor governments, human-rights organisations, humanitarian advocacy groups, academic institutions and the media. At the same time, IRIN strives to ensure that affected communities can also access reliable information, so they can take informed decisions about their future"
     Any one can do a google search. But surely people work on this kind of responsible and sensitive task should do some home work before coming out with partisan statement.

317. This whole article is looking at the history from 1970 on and may be a few replies – almost all from the Tamil Diaspora twisting the history prior to that.

     I am amazed how so many Tamils supporting the LTTE do not realise that it is the LTTE that has become their own enemy.

     Anyways, moving forward, there could be several reasons for Sri Lanka to end up in this situation from which one is, Sri Lanka, being a unitary state, tried to pamper the terrorists a little too much where it came to a situation that a terror organization went to the level of being branded as freedom fighters. Even Taliban are freedom fighters in that sense – fighting for the freedom of the Islam in the way they believe is right. – is it acceptable ??

     Even the Singhalees in Sri lanka do not enjoy some of the benefits the Tamils would only due to this reason. in 1987, the JVP, a singhalees terror group was crushed and no one said anything because it was singhalees fighting against singhalees. The same theory should be applied with LTTE and it should be seen as Sri lankans fighting against a Sri Lankan terror group. This fight has nothing to do with Tamil brotheren. We have lived in harmony in this country for many years. Only when there had been attacks in the past and only when they started ruling in separate parts of the land, the majority Singhala lead kings had to fight and regain the territory. It is said that even in the past, the Sri Lankan (Helaya) army lead by the Majority Singhla Kigs had soldiers of various ethnic groups fighting against those who captured land by force. No where in history there had been a Tamil Land as claimed. Always it had been Chola, Pandya and Kerala who had been attacking Sri Lankan (Helaya) territory. Not even when the English got here there was a separate state in any part of the Island – if so English would have had to capture that too ha ?? There was only one pact – and that was with the King of Sri Lanka who was a Nayakkara Clan and not a Singhalees king. This also shows that Singhalees did not mind other races ruling the country, but loved to live in peace and harmony.

     Bottom line – LTTE should be eliminated and everything would settle. Even the people who escape from LTTE has this Stand – so it is important that people and governments world over to support the current Sri Lankan government to eliminate the LTTE and all will live happily ever after in Sri lanka…

318. This whole article is looking at the history from 1970 on and may be a few replies – almost all from the Tamil Diaspora twisting the history prior to that.

     I am amazed how so many Tamils supporting the LTTE do not realise that it is the LTTE that has become their own enemy.

     Anyways, moving forward, there could be several reasons for Sri Lanka to end up in this situation from which one is, Sri Lanka, being a unitary state, tried to pamper the terrorists a little too much where it came to a situation that a terror organization went to the level of being branded as freedom fighters. Even Taliban are freedom fighters in that sense – fighting for the freedom of the Islam in the way they believe is right. – is it acceptable ??

     I am a Karava Sinhalees from Gampaha. Pls don't lie as your Sinhala rasist leaders do. tell me how comes Karava,Careas and Parava Fishery Thamils became Sinhala? Who did that? Sinhalees systamaticaly made us to be Sinhalees. this is what they are already doing with upcuntry Thamils and Thamil Moslims. now they want to do thae same with Native Sri Lankan Thamils or better call them Eelam Thamils.
     Eelam Thamils are not fools to go out on street to protest against Sinhala Terrorist Govermant.
     Bottom Line: Thamil Eelam is the only solution for this GENOCIDE PROBLEM

     *read your mahavamse and find out that Kallathony Vijaya's father was a 4 feet LION (ANIMAL). Sinhala Histrory from bottom to top is a BIG LIE.

     *Kuweni and YAKKER & NAGAR Thamils were already living in NagarPatinam (SL)
     *in Sinhala they pronounce YAKKER like YAKSE (Yakse – Devil) so many Sinhalees think that Kuweni was a ugly Yaksaniyek.
     *When was your Rasist Govermant when you and your Hora Hela's looting Thamils in 1983?
     *Hora SL Army still looting the Thamils in Mullaitheevu. where is the justice?

     Listen Roshan!
     You cannot put all the argumants in to LTTE. you cannot put all the blames on LTTE.

325. mr.rohan,i think you have to lern a lot,about tamils.You no WHO you are and WHO we were! NO. first of all,before starting your comments you have to go back over the histry of singhalees. we know you all are son of SINGHAYA!
     "mullu lokeyema maha moda kathawa". singhalees are always differ from normal people all over the world.

326. LOL – U guys must be absolutely nuts to think that we believe that we came from the Animal Lion… It is from a trible (Like Yaksa and Naga) called the Lions tribe lead by an absolute human… Anyways.. We still do believe that the Yaksa's and the Naga's are Sri lankan – no doubt about it. Also, they mixed with the people who came along with Wijaya and that's how the nation of Singhalees began. Ravana is still believed to be the king who ruled many parts of south east asia. BUT, on what grounds are we telling that they were Tamils ?? If so, why could not they keep their identity ? Obviously a 700 army (as if they came in the Titanic) couldn't out do a whole nation of Yakka and Naga Tamils ?

     This is where you have got your wires crossed and believe in lies. With the coming of Wijaya, a new nation began and along with the coming of Buddhism, a new civilisation began. This civilization was great and had many achievements in the past. But, from time to time, Chola's, Pandyas and Keralites attacked the country. When those kingdoms were torn apart by the Sri Lankan kings, with compassion, the normal civilians were let to live in the country. These people are now what we call Tamils – we had not even heard of a Tamil Kingdom or any other literature anywhere in the world about a Tamil nation. So ideally, it is the decedents of the south indian Diaspora of that time which is called Tamil. Otherwise, how come there be a larger population of Tamils in southern India than in Sri Lanka ?? How come Tamils are less than 15% of the population in Sri Lanka ? Ideally you should ask for Tamil eelam from India – which could have been achieved if you had done it in the 70's at least as India released pakistan and bangladesh prior to this.

     As we all know the Up country tamils are those who were brought down from India to do labour in Tea estates. They are still there too – be happy that we again let them live here and not send back to India…

     I have friends who are Karawe and are singhalees. Well, if at all what you say is right, you are asking for something like what the Cherokee Indians would ask from the USA government – a separate land saying that they were the first occupants. See it is too late – now this country / Island has a different identity, you can't break it – it was broken 2500 years ago – even America is only 400 years.

     Don't think that I am a racist. I have a load of tamil friends and I really like them. I know that there has been several incidents and I do not entertain them at all (like the 83 riots). We had a family hidden in our house during this period – I can tell the name – Mr. Rajarathnam a former Engineer of CEB who migrated to Aussie later. All I am saying is that what ever the history is, Sri Lanka or the Hela Diva of good old days has moved far away from that and this is a new identity from 2500 years back. Majority are Singhalees and also Buddhist – hence to keep that identity, it is important that the main ruler of the country be a singhlala buddhist. All other citizens in the country has to live with it while this ruler ensure the others could live with it. Yoou don't get Shivanadan to rule any of the middle eastern countries ha ? Can any buddhist left in Afganisthan or Iran say that in future Iran would like to have a Buddhist leader ? The only place this could happen is in USA, where a American Indian origin might one day become the president – but, he would be the president of USA and would have adopted the new values the USA has – not get people to dance around a fire wearing feather hats. Bottom line, Sri Lankan Singhala Buddhist has been having an identity for the past 2,000 years here, and it is too late to change it… it is been so with other countries for many years too.. I feel sorry for you guys not having a homeland, but lies or violence are not the way to get it – also you need to really go where you majority is – south India. But you know what ?? I think you guys are too chicken to fight with the Indian government, that's why you choose a small nation and a small Island !

329. Sinhalaya Modaya Kewung Kande Yodaya! yes Roshan, You have proofd it. You are same as your leaders ANIMAL HARTED Lier.
     *Yakker and Nagar are Thamils (read South Indian history)
     *Sinhala language is a mix of 70% Thamil
     *Vijaya and 700 rowdys came(deported) from Bihar (mahavamse)
     *North India was occupied by Persian and arabs. the result is fair ski Hindians and the new language was born. original Hindi speaking population in India is 3%.But it is the national language and acctually dominating languge. point is: that invaders can rule the country and claim the country. so, the Sinhalees do
     Ex:
     1. Palastina belongs to Arabs – Ruling nation is Israel
     2.Netherlands belongs to Fries – Ruling nation is Dutch
     3.America belongs to Red Indian -Ruling nation is Europeans
     4.Australia belongs to Aboriginal – Ruling nation is Brittish colonial Pirates generations
     5.Taiwan belongs to Taiwanees – Ruling (thretning) nation is China
     6. Tibet belongs to Tibetians – Ruling nation is China
     7.Ierland belongs to Irsh – Ruling nation is Brittish
     8. Thamil Eelam belongs to Thamils – Murdering and ethnic clensing nation is Sinhala
     *If SL gaves equal postion to Thamils as it is in India there wil be no need to Thamil Eelam. But now noway Thamil Eelam is the only solution.

     *IF EELAM THAMILS ARE FROM INDIA THEY WOULD NOT ASK THAMIL EELAM IN SRI LANKA. Eelam Thamils would not do the same thing like Kosovan's did in Kosovo (x-Yugoslavia)
     That's why Karava and Parava Thamils are not asking for Thamil Eelam. because we know we have been bought to Ceylon by Portugees Pirates and from Thamil Nadu (Thoothukudi)
     * Karava and Parava Thamils systamaticaly made to Sinhalees by sending us to Sinhala Schools for more than 150 years.
     *Where upcountry Thamils and Islamic Thamils are living, there been Sinhala Schools are builded and these Thamils been forced to go to Sinhala schools. after 50years these people wil be speak only Sinhala as my Karava Thamils do.
     * Thamils are not only Hindus, Christians and Islamists. but also Bhudist.
     Thamils respect all religion. so you don't think that Bhuda belongs only to Sinhalees.
     *Kallathony Vijaya's son Roshan listen Putha!
     what ever you write here doesnt matter. Sollution is THAMIL EELAM.
     Roshan!
     I am happily married to a lovely Sinhala beauty and my 4 sons are speaking Thamil as Sinhala. I don't want to go to Jaffna and live. But I must speak the truth. whole my wife's side Sinhala family knows the real problem and they also say Thamil Eelam is the only sollution.
     *my Sinhala family and friends thought Eelam Thamils are Vathu Dhemala (upcountry Thamils) so you do also. that's the main problem. Eelam Thamils know who they are and why and what they are asking for. But Sinhalees not.
     * Thamils from north and east are too good for this world. really i mean it. they are very kind,decent and motherly harted people. Terrorist Sinhala govermant gave them the name TERRORIST. Theif knows before he get the name he has to give that name to other one.

331. LOL at Alfonso again !!

     Well, we can argue on this not till cows come home, but, even till Prabha's ghost / spirit goes to heaven (like it will not happen for the next million + years). But, as long as you don't understand the point I am trying to drive – of being a single nation, we will never end our argument. FYI – I am not in Australia and I don't have anything against Tamils – I am In Sri Lanka – in Wellawatte with a load of Tamil friends around me who share the same interest of getting rid of the LTTE – well, we achieved our goal and you and your friends couldn't. So – Parava illey.

     Once again, I say – try to get this to your head –

     – Ravana is a Sri Lankan king.
     – Wijaya came to SL (agree with you – from Persia) – yes outlawed and they settled here mixing with many other tribes which were here and started a nation which we call call Helaya – former Sri Lanka.
     – This nation was attacked by south Indian parties many a times, but the kings of Helaya – who are decedents of Yakka / Naga / Wijaya etc. etc… defeted them from time to time..
     – SO – WE ARE THE HELA'S
     – But these people are now called tamil and formally Chola, Pandya, Kerala etc…
     – So, bottom line is, the people of Helaya was attacked by South Indians and the remaining settlers are those who always created trouble.
     – Singhala Language is derived mainly from Sanskrit and Pali just like Hindi – not Tamil – You will find Hindi being closer to singhala than Tamil being closer to Singhala – being neighbors and with no requirements for VISA's obviously there would be travel between South India and Helaya even 200 years before. So, you obviously except the fact that there will be Tamils or many others in this Land – BUT, we all are now Sri Lankans… We will have to live with it whether we like it or not !
     – Well – enough said and done – We are on the verge of building a new sri lanka where people live in peace and harmony – hope U will have the luck to join in too…
     Take care my Brother !

332. One Final word to all who read these blogs – there is no un-humanitarian acts happening in SL by the people or the army. We have put up camps that have better facilities than what the Karina victims had, for the IDP's in north and all people in there are fed by the majority out side. We already make sacrifices by paying double the amount to most essential food items so that the government can use it as tax to feed the IDP's. The first to start sending clothing and food items to the IDP's were the people from Colombo and Kandy.

     Many Tamil politicians are with the government at this moment of time – this includes the former LTTE members as Karuna, Daya Master and George Master – Many other Tamil leaders are blessing the government for getting rid of the menace of LTTE – I sincerely hope that the Diaspora who has limited access to correct information and have all possibilities to get false information by the false propaganda created by the LTTE would join these great leaders as Ananda Sangiri, Devanandan and even Karuna Amman where you will get to know the truth and ensure that we live in a united country as all of us do in all parts of the Island apart from North – I hope that a Singhalees or a Muslim or a burger, Ja, Malay or any person would be able to visit north in the near future as the Tamils can in anywhere of the land.

333. LOL again and again with my friends about your total pointles things you wrote.
     * Since when you changed the Vijaya's Country? Mahavamse says that Vijaya comes from Bihar (notorieus province in India) but you says that Vijaya comes from Persia (Iran) ha ha ha ha . keep on lie. go support Mahinda Rajapakse and Sri Lanka with you. Last week i have canseld my SL citizenship. cause i feel very shame for what my Presidant Rajapase did to Thamils.
     Roshan do you know that Nadasen's wife is a Sinhalees?
     Sri Lanka is past tence for me and my family. I have sold whole my propetys in SL. it's over with Sinhala Govermant and rasists.
     Roshan, i wish you luck with Karuna, Thaya master and hundreds of Thamil dead body's. keep them enjoy. by the way, in future whom you going to blame for murders? you can't blame LTTE again. maybe Pillayan. haha ha haamong other Thamil leaders you didn't mentiond Pillayan's name.
     Curse on Murderes.

334. LOL at Alfonso again !!

But, as long as you don’t understand the point I am trying to drive – of being a single nation, we will never end our argument. FYI – I am not in Australia and I don’t have anything against Tamils – I am In Sri Lanka – in Wellawatte with a load of Tamil friends around me who share the same interest of getting rid of the LTTE – well, we achieved our goal and you and your friends couldn’t. So – Parava illey.

     Once again, I say – try to get this to your head –

     – Ravana is a Sri Lankan king.
     – Wijaya came to SL (agree with you – from Persia) – yes outlawed and they settled here mixing with many other tribes which were here and started a nation which we call call Helaya – former Sri Lanka.
     – This nation was attacked by south Indian parties many a times, but the kings of Helaya – who are decedents of Yakka / Naga / Wijaya etc. etc… defeted them from time to time..
     – SO – WE ARE THE HELA’S
     – But these people are now called tamil and formally Chola, Pandya, Kerala etc…
     – So, bottom line is, the people of Helaya was attacked by South Indians and the remaining settlers are those who always created trouble.
     – Singhala Language is derived mainly from Sanskrit and Pali just like Hindi – not Tamil – You will find Hindi being closer to singhala than Tamil being closer to Singhala – being neighbors and with no requirements for VISA’s obviously there would be travel between South India and Helaya even 200 years before. So, you obviously except the fact that there will be Tamils or many others in this Land – BUT, we all are now Sri Lankans… We will have to live with it whether we like it or not !
     – Well – enough said and done – We are on the verge of building a new sri lanka where people live in peace and harmony – hope U will have the luck to join in too…
     Take care my Brother !

335. One Final word to all who read these blogs – there is no un-humanitarian acts happening in SL by the people or the army. We have put up camps that have better facilities than what the Karina victims had, for the IDP’s in north and all people in there are fed by the majority out side. We already make sacrifices by paying double the amount to most essential food items so that the government can use it as tax to feed the IDP’s. The first to start sending clothing and food items to the IDP’s were the people from Colombo and Kandy.

     Many Tamil politicians are with the government at this moment of time – this includes the former LTTE members as Karuna, Daya Master and George Master – Many other Tamil leaders are blessing the government for getting rid of the menace of LTTE – I sincerely hope that the Diaspora who has limited access to correct information and have all possibilities to get false information by the false propaganda created by the LTTE would join these great leaders as Ananda Sangiri, Devanandan and even Karuna Amman where you will get to know the truth and ensure that we live in a united country as all of us do in all parts of the Island apart from North – I hope that a Singhalees or a Muslim or a burger, Ja, Malay or any person would be able to visit north in the near future as the Tamils can in anywhere of the land.

336. LOL again and again with my friends about your total pointles things you wrote.
     * Since when you changed the Vijaya’s Country? Mahavamse says that Vijaya comes from Bihar (notorieus province in India) but you says that Vijaya comes from Persia (Iran) ha ha ha ha . keep on lie. go support Mahinda Rajapakse and Sri Lanka with you. Last week i have canseld my SL citizenship. cause i feel very shame for what my Presidant Rajapase did to Thamils.
     Roshan do you know that Nadasen’s wife is a Sinhalees?
     Sri Lanka is past tence for me and my family. I have sold whole my propetys in SL. it’s over with Sinhala Govermant and rasists.
     Roshan, i wish you luck with Karuna, Thaya master and hundreds of Thamil dead body’s. keep them enjoy. by the way, in future whom you going to blame for murders? you can’t blame LTTE again. maybe Pillayan. haha ha haamong other Thamil leaders you didn’t mentiond Pillayan’s name.
     Curse on Murderes.

337. Hey Alfonso – Man, I am so glad that a traitor like you is no longer in Sri Lanka nor haven't got anything to do with Sri Lanka…I think that is what we exactly need – we only need to people who love this country to stay here. This way, people like you will not and should not have anything to do with Sri Lanka nor have any interest int he country either. Please tell your fellow supporters to do the same too..

     BTW, glad to know that Nadesan's wife was a Singhalees. Also you might know that there were around 50 Sinhalees in the LTTE army too. There are many in the SL army who are married to Tamils too. This drives the point that we should be one nation and not hypocrites trying to divide the tiny Island. As for Pillayan, I did not intend to list down all the names here, if so, I can even go on to mention my good friends Sanjeev Jayaram and Krishamoorthy Ganeshapillai too… What about Mano Ganesan for a leader ?

     If you look at history, Even Persia belonged to the former Indian kingdom at one time. They also say that we all origined in Africa – may be the whole world should go to Africa and claim that it's our motherland !!

339. I found the following article written by a Tamil scolor in Sri Lanka on this issue on http://www.odemagazine.com/blogs/readers_blog/746…

     Hope this would be an eye opener for those who still want to terrorize this tiny Island.

     I am amazed at the mobilization of young people from the Tamil Diaspora around the world to protest against the Sri Lankan government’s purported human rights violations. When often the younger generation of immigrants forgets the old country to a future in the new one, it is incredibly positive that the Diaspora feels so passionate about this difficult conflict on behalf of their community. Maybe once the conflict is over, they will come back to Sri Lanka to rebuild the country together. However, there is long way to go for reconciliation between the two communities as so much hatred has manifested, especially amongst the Diaspora overseas.

     We have all been affected by this ruthless conflict. I had close relatives and friends lost to LTTE attacks and bombs. Yet, I differentiate the LTTE from Tamil people. In my daily life in Sri Lanka, we work, play sports and socialize together. I am sad this is not the case with the international Tamil community in separating the government from Sinhala people. Like in any community there are Sinhala extremists but I find most are compassionate towards other communities as I come across a diversity of people on a daily basis as an organizational trainer.

     Young Minds of Hate
     Back in Ontario, my Canadian friend Kerry was excited when her 7 year old daughter came home and said she has a Sri Lankan friend in her new class. They invited the new friend home after school one day. When Kerry told her that she too has a close Sri Lankan friend, the visitor came back with, “Is he Tamil or Sinhala ?” Kerry was taken aback by this and said, “I am not too sure but I think he is Sinhala.” To Kerry’s surprise, “Oh we hate the Sinhala” was her reply. When Kerry asked her whether she had met any Sinhala people, she said no.

     Many months later when I met Kerry during a visit to Canada, she related this story and we lamented that this impressionable seven year old had been taught to hate. Maybe her parents were subjected to hatred or violence back in Sri Lanka, but is it wise to burden a child with such a strong toxic emotion, which she will carry for the rest of her life?

     The Diaspora
     So, I am sad at the fact that the Sri Lankan Tamil Diaspora, especially, the young, many of whom have never been to Sri Lanka, are growing up with such extreme feelings towards the Sinhala people.

     A friend, a Canadian of Sinhala parentage told me recently that a long time friend of his had told him, “As a Tamil Canadian, I should not be hanging out with you.” He was shocked by this, but that is what it has come down to. Even friends who never looked at race before are now putting their identity as a Tamil or Sinhala before friendship.
     Sad this happens in a place 10,000 kms away from where the real conflict is taking place. The irony is that in the old country we are already talking about reconciliation and rebuilding relationships.

     An Intercultural Dialogue
     I was part of such an event last week in Pollonnaruwa, not too far from the conflict. Seventy university students – Tamil, Muslim and Sinhala – from around the country were brought together by a core group of sixteen multi-ethnic students from Colombo based universities through a British Council sponsored project called Intercultural Dialogue – to explore culture, identity and history to look towards a common future as Sri Lankans.

     It was an emotionally charged three days. One session had the distinct races exploring a ‘Time Line’ to inquire how the three communities see history shaping Sri Lanka to what it is today. The Sinhala team presenting the turning points in History as the former populist Prim Minister Bandaranaike’s Sinhala only policy in 1956, burning the Jaffna library by southern based Sinhala politicians and black July in 1983 where many innocent Tamil civilians were killed in Colombo struck a chord with the Tamil team who got up and said, “We never realized Sinhala people looked at our history in this way”. The Tamil team had the same events in their presentation and immediately found common ground to work from. Ironically the Muslim team felt marginalized when they said, “See, neither Tamil nor Sinhala team mentioned us and this is what is happening to us, we are caught between both sides and ignored by all.”

     The programme used dialoguing techniques such as the ‘Fish Bowl’ to discuss difficult emotional issues to create better understanding. One young Tamil student studying Arts, Drama and Film Making in the Eastern University lamented his parents not letting him go to Colombo to continue his studies. A Sinhala student then spoke and said, “Yes, your parents are right in discouraging you coming to Colombo. This is a difficult time with all the security. When I see a young Tamil person in the bus, I too wonder. But all this will change soon enough”.

     When a Muslim student said, that the Sri Lankan constitution forbids a non Buddhist to become President, the leader of the Colombo based core team of organizers, a law student, said, “ I have studied the constitution very carefully and it does not state anywhere that the person has to be a Buddhist. It just states that the President must safeguard Buddhism as the national religion.” He went on to state in fluent Sinhala, “I am a Tamil and I aspire to become the President of Sri Lanka in twenty years” to which there was great applause from everyone, and surprise from the Tamil students who did not realize the leader of the core team was a Tamil.

     Teaching the Biology of the Brain
     As a part of the learning for the programme, my colleague and I as facilitators made a presentation on our emotions and spirituality. We based this on the biology of the brain and how our reptilian brain, which ensures our basic physical survival and the limbic brain, which balances our emotions have to work together. This way our natural moral compass gets activated through the strong limbic nourishment first from our parents and then our close relationships. When this nourishment is positive and appreciative, it makes for emotionally well balanced individuals with high self esteem and good physical health. We also worked with some practical breathing exercises to illustrate how the breath is a powerful tool in controlling emotions and the ego to develop a positive attitude towards life.

     A combination of learning new theories on the brain and emotions to dialogue made these three days a rich and a novel experience for everyone.

     The programme ended with mixed teams producing plays done in a combination of Sinhala and Tamil languages to depict Thai Pongal – Tamil festival of harvest, a Tamil wedding, a Muslim wedding, Sinhala New Year celebrations, a Sinhala wedding and a comical rendition of “Nari Bena”, a folk tale about a fox wanting to marry a beautiful girl.

     I came away from these 3 days with a renewed sense of hope that these university students will eventually make a difference to this troubled nation. They will approach the future not from the male dominated Military Industrial age of the past, which is left brained and reptilian. They will approach it from the new Conceptual age, which is a partnership between the right and left brains, male and female, the yin and the yang and in limbic balance. It will be based more on dialogue, understanding, creative relationships and a sense of community through the power of balance.

     I really hope that the young people in the Diaspora will eventually visit Sri Lanka to see for themselves that amongst all the negatives that is shown through media which is to do with the government and the LTTE, there is also compassion and understanding between people and a shared past to build a common future on. I see that acted out in the way civil society made up of all the communities are mobilizing to help the displaced people.

     I also hope that they are able to transform their toxic emotions of fear and hate to a more balanced one of openness and flexibility in the way the university students in Pollonnaruwa found out.

The Sinhala team presenting the turning points in History as the former populist Prim Minister Bandaranaike’s Sinhala only policy in 1956, burning the Jaffna library by southern based Sinhala politicians and black July in 1983 where many innocent Tamil civilians were killed in Colombo struck a chord with the Tamil team who got up and said, “We never realized Sinhala people looked at our history in this way”. The Tamil team had the same events in their presentation and immediately found common ground to work from. Ironically the Muslim team felt marginalized when they said, “See, neither Tamil nor Sinhala team mentioned us and this is what is happening to us, we are caught between both sides and ignored by all.”

     The programme used dialoguing techniques such as the ‘Fish Bowl’ to discuss difficult emotional issues to create better understanding. One young Tamil student studying Arts, Drama and Film Making in the Eastern University lamented his parents not letting him go to Colombo to continue his studies. A Sinhala student then spoke and said, “Yes, your parents are right in discouraging you coming to Colombo. This is a difficult time with all the security. When I see a young Tamil person in the bus, I too wonder. But all this will change soon enough”.

     When a Muslim student said, that the Sri Lankan constitution forbids a non Buddhist to become President, the leader of the Colombo based core team of organizers, a law student, said, “ I have studied the constitution very carefully and it does not state anywhere that the person has to be a Buddhist. It just states that the President must safeguard Buddhism as the national religion.” He went on to state in fluent Sinhala, “I am a Tamil and I aspire to become the President of Sri Lanka in twenty years” to which there was great applause from everyone, and surprise from the Tamil students who did not realize the leader of the core team was a Tamil.

     Teaching the Biology of the Brain
     As a part of the learning for the programme, my colleague and I as facilitators made a presentation on our emotions and spirituality. We based this on the biology of the brain and how our reptilian brain, which ensures our basic physical survival and the limbic brain, which balances our emotions have to work together. This way our natural moral compass gets activated through the strong limbic nourishment first from our parents and then our close relationships. When this nourishment is positive and appreciative, it makes for emotionally well balanced individuals with high self esteem and good physical health. We also worked with some practical breathing exercises to illustrate how the breath is a powerful tool in controlling emotions and the ego to develop a positive attitude towards life.

     A combination of learning new theories on the brain and emotions to dialogue made these three days a rich and a novel experience for everyone.

     The programme ended with mixed teams producing plays done in a combination of Sinhala and Tamil languages to depict Thai Pongal – Tamil festival of harvest, a Tamil wedding, a Muslim wedding, Sinhala New Year celebrations, a Sinhala wedding and a comical rendition of “Nari Bena”, a folk tale about a fox wanting to marry a beautiful girl.

     I came away from these 3 days with a renewed sense of hope that these university students will eventually make a difference to this troubled nation. They will approach the future not from the male dominated Military Industrial age of the past, which is left brained and reptilian. They will approach it from the new Conceptual age, which is a partnership between the right and left brains, male and female, the yin and the yang and in limbic balance. It will be based more on dialogue, understanding, creative relationships and a sense of community through the power of balance.

     I really hope that the young people in the Diaspora will eventually visit Sri Lanka to see for themselves that amongst all the negatives that is shown through media which is to do with the government and the LTTE, there is also compassion and understanding between people and a shared past to build a common future on. I see that acted out in the way civil society made up of all the communities are mobilizing to help the displaced people.

     I also hope that they are able to transform their toxic emotions of fear and hate to a more balanced one of openness and flexibility in the way the university students in Pollonnaruwa found out.

343. No Use talking about what happened in the 1950's. If so we can talk about what happened for the past 2500 years where the South Indian armies destroyed Sri Lanka and it's Heritage from time to time. What's important for all of us is to understand the current mentality of the Sri Lankan people who want peace… We are quite sure that there will be lasting peace since Terrorism is now wiped out and a proper political solution is in sight.

This was proven during the HR committee meeting held in Geneva a few days ago – in the history of UN, western countries having ulterior motives were defeated by a large margin, and best of all, whole of Asia, Africa, Middle east and even South America (with the exception of Chilly) voted against the European and North American nations. I guess America still needs the port in Trinco and since the time President Jayawardena negated the proposition, has been trying various unethical means to get it. Well, too late… Vanni is liberated and so should you be… !

373. Though I am not a spokes person for the SL Government, I will try to answer the questions to the best of my ability.

     1) How many civilians died in the final weeks of assault on the LTTE inside the ‘no fire’ zone and what has happened to their corpses?

     This question should be asked from the LTTE as they killed the civilians who tried to escape. However, since there are no LTTE members left, the answer will not be known for ever. There were many LTTE bodies found that were cremated and ashes thrown to the sea. Some buried in mass graves. I will not rule out any possibilities of civilian casualties among them who got caught in the cross fire. They could have been saved if the LTTE did not hold them as human shield !

     2) Why were hospitals treating the injured and the sick inside the ‘no fire’ zone repeatedly shelled by the Sri Lankan army and what is the fate of the Tamil doctors who reported this to the global media?

     No building or shelter was designated a hospital in these areas and as well all know, the once which were informed to the SL army as hospitals and did not come under any kind of fire from the SL army were later found to be safe houses for LTTE leaders. hence, again, the question has to be thrown to the LTTE as to where the hospitals for the civilians were…

     3) What kind of banned weapons did the Sri Lankan forces use in their operations against the LTTE and which governments around the world supplied these to them?

     No banned weapons were used by any means as SL is a legal government and got the weapons from other legal governments as China, Israel, Pakistan etc. As we know, there was accusations of using cluster bombs and edited videos shown on international media which were proven hoax latterly. Sri Lankan forces have not imported a single Bio weapon nor cluster bomb todate in the shores of Sri Lanka. However, the LTTE had bio gases which were used in areas where civilians lived on several occasions.

     4) Despite repeated official assertions that the ‘war is over’ why is the Sri Lankan government afraid of allowing independent media, humanitarian workers and human rights groups access to war affected areas?

     Afraid that they will loose their limbs by stepping on thousands of Land Mines deployed by the terrorists. The reason that the people cannot go to their houses in peace. The government has speed up the process of de-mining and hopefully it will be an area that could be reached by anybody in no time. However, the government will and should send only selected parties as in the past, LTTE supporters were working in these areas under cover as NGO's. So not all should be allowed access.

     Media and selected organizations however, are provided with full access to the camps as they are safe. The senate members of USA and many other countries have visited the areas since end of war. So there is no requirement for the government to stop anybody from going, but, not to areas that are not safe.

     5) Why are the thousands upon thousands of Tamil refugees – Sri Lankan citizens all of them- still being kept behind barbed wires like cattle corralled off before slaughter and why are Tamil youth being abducted from within these camps ?

     The answer is in the previous question – de-mining should take place before these innocent civilians loose their limbs. LTTE was heartless enough to make these peoples residences dangerous.

     6) Why are the repeated reports of Tamil women being raped by Sri Lankan army personnel not being investigated?

     No such report. Rubbish… ! Is caring for them and giving them food raping ? Tamil children ages 12, 13 got them selves pregnant during LTTE time to avoid getting dragged by the LTTE. what SL army has done is taken some of the pregnant women to hospital on their own shoulders when they didn't have transport – that's why we call it the humanitarian mission and not war.. Several civilians were kept lying to die by the LTTE whom were air lifted to hospitals by SL forces – if you call this rape, I feel sorry for you…

     7) Why are Sri Lankan journalists questioning the conduct of the war being killed, tortured or forced into exile if the government has nothing to hide?

     You are talking of one incident where Mr. Lasantha Wickramathunge was killed. I do not agree with this either as Lasantha was one of my favourit editors. But, we do not have proof as to who killed him. I am absolutely with you if you are talking about Lasantha. There is no need to kill opposition to drive a point. However, a traitor like Sunanda Deshapriya should be jailed.

     8) How can a chauvinist regime responsible for the worst kind of prejudice and atrocities against its minority population be entrusted with either their immediate rehabilitation or long-term solutions to the island’s ethnic question?

     Well, the rehabilitation will be done by the Tamils themselves… It will be done by the provincial councils and the members would be elected by the people in the areas… We can see the development that happens in East – will be the same in North.. Already the road infrastructure is quite complete. The A9 is not a carpet road as oppose to the broken road we had. 100 + bridges will come up within the next few months.. Developing the area will be No1 priority – will take it as the best opportunity to show the world that we do not mean harm to Tamil people.

     9) How long will it be before Mahinda Rajapakse and all high officials under his command are brought before an International Tribunal to account for their war crimes and crimes against humanity?

     It will happen the day the USA would be taken to the same court for Hiroshima Bombing, What happened in Iraq and Afghanistan. Also Israel for attacking Gaza strip. However, when the Americans and the Israelis would be found guilty, Mahinda R will walk out free as there was no intentional attack on any civilian by any means.

     10) Now that the Tamil Tigers are defeated is it not time for the world to tame the rampaging Sinhala Lion too?

     Once the kill is over, the lions is the most tamed animal – they would not care for a rabbit that that would walk inside it's mouth. They only kill when they are hungry, not like the tigers who would kill for the fun. Well, Lions are not hungry any more… Now they will relax – look to the future…. and make it the most wonderful where it will restore the pride of the Nation of the lions as it was 2500 years ago till European attacks.

     Now that the LTTE is Crushed – Some Advice for the "Western Powers"
     Sat, 2009-05-30 12:43

     By Stephen Long – Los Angeles, California

     I just returned from a lengthy visit to Sri Lanka, and I witnessed first-hand the Government’s splendid victory over the LTTE terrorists. Every day I read with great interest the many comments and opinions that were written on the conflict by both Sri Lankan and international journalists. From my perspective, I can assure you that the Government acted with restraint and compassion throughout the entire ordeal. I also saw that the so-called "Western Powers" were totally misinformed on the situation, which resulted in their passing a hasty judgment that condemned the Government’s conduct toward the IDP’s and the human shields still trapped in the No Fire Zone.

     Having said this, I am grateful for US Congressional Representative Heath Schuler of North Carolina for his support of the Government’s relief efforts yesterday, and for accurately reporting what he saw with his own eyes in the IDP camps in the North. I’m sure his report will go a long way towards correcting misperceptions in America.

     A couple of things I could never understand: The first is why were the "Western Powers" so interested in preserving the life of the terrorist leader, Prabhakaran? Secondly, why was the US Ambassador, Robert Blake, feeding his boss, Hillary Clinton, such erroneous and false information that lead to her "disappointment" with the Sri Lankan Government, and her eventual condemnation? I’m sure the answers to these questions will eventually surface over time, but examining them here is not the focus of this article.

     I would like to offer some advice to the "Western Powers" in regards to re-examining their policy and approach to dealing with Sri Lanka:

     During the thirty-year conflict many people of all ethnicities left Sri Lanka to seek greener pastures in Western countries. There are approximately 300,000 of them in Canada, 200,000 in the US, and another 300,000 in European countries. Many of these immigrants used the “political asylum” card, and as we have later discovered, many of those were lying about the persecution they claimed they received at home. I’m not singling out only the Tamils in this respect; Sinhalese and Muslim immigrants also played the same hand.

     Now that the war against the LTTE is over, the "Western Powers" need not accept any more immigrants from Sri Lanka who attempt to seek political asylum. This should come as a great relief to many of those countries who now find themselves embroiled in protests from two fronts: caught in the middle between trying to please new political constituents, and simply doing the right thing by protecting Sri Lankan embassies, places of worship, helping out with the IDP’s in the North, etc.

     Secondly, drug trafficking was one of the primary ways the LTTE raised money to finance its war in Sri Lanka. A little-publicized story a few years ago even revealed that the LTTE had attempted to dig a tunnel from British Columbia in Canada down to Washington State, through which it would smuggle drugs into America. Now that the war is over, the LTTE drug trafficking should cease. There are still LTTE front organizations in the Western countries, however, and I suggest you put an end to them just as Canada banned the World Tamil Movement. Many members of these organizations still have the LTTE dream in their heads, and perhaps they need to be taught that the dream was really a nightmare, and that their donations had actually helped to fund death and destruction instead of their mythical Eelam.

     The LTTE, as it has been revealed, was closely associated with a variety of extremist groups in other countries, and they helped each other train their cadres in the fine points of suicide bombing, guerilla warfare, and weapons use, among other things. They also assisted one another in the smuggling of weapons. Now that the LTTE has been crushed there should be fewer light aircraft, submarines, tanks, and other weapons smuggled from former Soviet Republics, Southeast Asian nations, and other countries. I know it may only make a dent in the huge international illicit weapons trade, but every little bit counts. Still, don’t give up on "following the money trail," and do your best to expose those who supplied the LTTE with weapons until they are prosecuted in every country.

     I suggest that Senator Patrick Leahey and Hillary Clinton stop listening to the rubbish of Bruce Fein, the mercenary former Deputy US Attorney, Washington lobbyist, and spokesperson for various LTTE front organizations in North America. He is reportedly being paid $100,000 a month to tell lies about the GOSL and the Rajapaksa brothers, and currently works for an American organization called "Tamils Against Genocide." Just to show you where his morals are, while he condemns the actions of the GOSL against the LTTE terrorists, he also represents the Turkish Government and condemns the actions of the Kurdish terrorists against the government. It’s the same issue – and he gets money from both sides from two clients. Very clever. Mr. Fein is hardly a credible, unbiased source of information, and when he calls on influential policy makers in Washington I suggest they lock their doors.

     It is obvious that both Senator Leahey and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have been “pitched” by Mr. Fein, since their leanings on the Sri Lanka issue are toward his point of view. I’m sad to say that it appears they have paid attention to this materialistic Beltway prostitute, and the GOSL has suffered unfairly as a consequence. I suggest they start investigating how Bruce Fein can represent banned terrorist front organizations and get away with it for nearly two years – and still be a practicing member of the American Bar Association.

     In regards to prosecuting Defence Secretary Gotabaya Rajapaksa, Presidential Advisor Basil Rajapaksa, and Army Commander General Sarath Fonseka for genocide in the international courts, I think the “Western Powers” should give up this ridiculous pursuit. The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Ms. Navi Pillay of South Africa, wants to investigate this silly allegation, but she should stop and listen to her comrades who supported Sri Lanka in the UN resolution last week in Geneva. Perhaps she has been listening to Bruce Fein, too. I suggest that the UN and the "Western Powers" start concentrating on how they can help the IDP’s in the North – seriously and quickly – and accept the fact that the authorities in Sri Lanka simply did what they had to do to rid their country of a terrorist scourge (the same that they would have done on their own turfs.)

     I think it’s time the media in Western countries takes an honest, serious look at the great progress Sri Lanka has made on a number of fronts – in spite of dealing with a 30-year war against terrorism: the elections and massive re-development programs in the Eastern Province, the appointment of a former child soldier for the LTTE as Chief Minister for the Eastern Province, the Government’s excellent health care and educational systems, the rehabilitation and appointment of former LTTE chief "Karuna" as Vice President of the largest political party in the country, the rapid rebuilding of tsunami areas (and compare this to post-Katrina New Orleans), and many others. While they’re at it, the Western journalists can show the world how beautiful Sri Lanka is, and what a great place it is for tourists.

     Lastly, the “Western Powers” should be very careful about pushing Sri Lanka too closely into the arms of China, Russia, Pakistan, India, and other neighbors in the Asian region. A close relationship with China, for example, developed during the war against the LTTE when the GOSL couldn’t get arms anywhere else. Now China is building a US $1 billion seaport in Sri Lanka’s south, and is financially helping the Government care for the IDP’s in the north. The “Western Powers” should be thinking about the balance of power in the region, and figuring out ways it can mend some fences with the GOSL – fast. The “Western Powers” don’t seem to understand that every country has to have friends and allies in order to survive, and if they are abandoned by the West, then they have no choice but join the camps of China, Libya, and its Asian neighbors who are perhaps more friendly and sympathetic to their needs and goals.

     The policies and neo-colonial interests of the "Western Powers" need to be examined closely by all parties from this point forward. Everyone should learn to respect Sri Lanka as a democratic, free, sovereign nation that deserves a decent place in the international community. Give Sri Lanka a break. Stop wasting time trying to make an enemy, and concentrate on making a good friend instead.

     Now that the LTTE is Crushed – Some Advice for the "Western Powers"
     Sat, 2009-05-30 12:43

     By Stephen Long – Los Angeles, California

     I just returned from a lengthy visit to Sri Lanka, and I witnessed first-hand the Government’s splendid victory over the LTTE terrorists. Every day I read with great interest the many comments and opinions that were written on the conflict by both Sri Lankan and international journalists. From my perspective, I can assure you that the Government acted with restraint and compassion throughout the entire ordeal. I also saw that the so-called "Western Powers" were totally misinformed on the situation, which resulted in their passing a hasty judgment that condemned the Government’s conduct toward the IDP’s and the human shields still trapped in the No Fire Zone.

     Having said this, I am grateful for US Congressional Representative Heath Schuler of North Carolina for his support of the Government’s relief efforts yesterday, and for accurately reporting what he saw with his own eyes in the IDP camps in the North. I’m sure his report will go a long way towards correcting misperceptions in America.

     A couple of things I could never understand: The first is why were the "Western Powers" so interested in preserving the life of the terrorist leader, Prabhakaran? Secondly, why was the US Ambassador, Robert Blake, feeding his boss, Hillary Clinton, such erroneous and false information that lead to her "disappointment" with the Sri Lankan Government, and her eventual condemnation? I’m sure the answers to these questions will eventually surface over time, but examining them here is not the focus of this article.

     I would like to offer some advice to the "Western Powers" in regards to re-examining their policy and approach to dealing with Sri Lanka:

     During the thirty-year conflict many people of all ethnicities left Sri Lanka to seek greener pastures in Western countries. There are approximately 300,000 of them in Canada, 200,000 in the US, and another 300,000 in European countries. Many of these immigrants used the “political asylum” card, and as we have later discovered, many of those were lying about the persecution they claimed they received at home. I’m not singling out only the Tamils in this respect; Sinhalese and Muslim immigrants also played the same hand.

     Now that the war against the LTTE is over, the "Western Powers" need not accept any more immigrants from Sri Lanka who attempt to seek political asylum. This should come as a great relief to many of those countries who now find themselves embroiled in protests from two fronts: caught in the middle between trying to please new political constituents, and simply doing the right thing by protecting Sri Lankan embassies, places of worship, helping out with the IDP’s in the North, etc.

     Secondly, drug trafficking was one of the primary ways the LTTE raised money to finance its war in Sri Lanka. A little-publicized story a few years ago even revealed that the LTTE had attempted to dig a tunnel from British Columbia in Canada down to Washington State, through which it would smuggle drugs into America. Now that the war is over, the LTTE drug trafficking should cease. There are still LTTE front organizations in the Western countries, however, and I suggest you put an end to them just as Canada banned the World Tamil Movement. Many members of these organizations still have the LTTE dream in their heads, and perhaps they need to be taught that the dream was really a nightmare, and that their donations had actually helped to fund death and destruction instead of their mythical Eelam.

     The LTTE, as it has been revealed, was closely associated with a variety of extremist groups in other countries, and they helped each other train their cadres in the fine points of suicide bombing, guerilla warfare, and weapons use, among other things. They also assisted one another in the smuggling of weapons. Now that the LTTE has been crushed there should be fewer light aircraft, submarines, tanks, and other weapons smuggled from former Soviet Republics, Southeast Asian nations, and other countries. I know it may only make a dent in the huge international illicit weapons trade, but every little bit counts. Still, don’t give up on "following the money trail," and do your best to expose those who supplied the LTTE with weapons until they are prosecuted in every country.

     I suggest that Senator Patrick Leahey and Hillary Clinton stop listening to the rubbish of Bruce Fein, the mercenary former Deputy US Attorney, Washington lobbyist, and spokesperson for various LTTE front organizations in North America. He is reportedly being paid $100,000 a month to tell lies about the GOSL and the Rajapaksa brothers, and currently works for an American organization called "Tamils Against Genocide."

     – Asian Tribune –

378. Though I am not a spokes person for the SL Government, I will try to answer the questions to the best of my ability.

     1) How many civilians died in the final weeks of assault on the LTTE inside the ‘no fire’ zone and what has happened to their corpses?

     This question should be asked from the LTTE as they killed the civilians who tried to escape. However, since there are no LTTE members left, the answer will not be known for ever. There were many LTTE bodies found that were cremated and ashes thrown to the sea. Some buried in mass graves. I will not rule out any possibilities of civilian casualties among them who got caught in the cross fire. They could have been saved if the LTTE did not hold them as human shield !

     2) Why were hospitals treating the injured and the sick inside the ‘no fire’ zone repeatedly shelled by the Sri Lankan army and what is the fate of the Tamil doctors who reported this to the global media?

     No building or shelter was designated a hospital in these areas and as well all know, the once which were informed to the SL army as hospitals and did not come under any kind of fire from the SL army were later found to be safe houses for LTTE leaders. hence, again, the question has to be thrown to the LTTE as to where the hospitals for the civilians were…

     3) What kind of banned weapons did the Sri Lankan forces use in their operations against the LTTE and which governments around the world supplied these to them?

     No banned weapons were used by any means as SL is a legal government and got the weapons from other legal governments as China, Israel, Pakistan etc. As we know, there was accusations of using cluster bombs and edited videos shown on international media which were proven hoax latterly. Sri Lankan forces have not imported a single Bio weapon nor cluster bomb todate in the shores of Sri Lanka. However, the LTTE had bio gases which were used in areas where civilians lived on several occasions.

     4) Despite repeated official assertions that the ‘war is over’ why is the Sri Lankan government afraid of allowing independent media, humanitarian workers and human rights groups access to war affected areas?

     Afraid that they will loose their limbs by stepping on thousands of Land Mines deployed by the terrorists. The reason that the people cannot go to their houses in peace. The government has speed up the process of de-mining and hopefully it will be an area that could be reached by anybody in no time. However, the government will and should send only selected parties as in the past, LTTE supporters were working in these areas under cover as NGO’s. So not all should be allowed access.

     Media and selected organizations however, are provided with full access to the camps as they are safe. The senate members of USA and many other countries have visited the areas since end of war. So there is no requirement for the government to stop anybody from going, but, not to areas that are not safe.

     5) Why are the thousands upon thousands of Tamil refugees – Sri Lankan citizens all of them- still being kept behind barbed wires like cattle corralled off before slaughter and why are Tamil youth being abducted from within these camps ?

     The answer is in the previous question – de-mining should take place before these innocent civilians loose their limbs. LTTE was heartless enough to make these peoples residences dangerous.

     6) Why are the repeated reports of Tamil women being raped by Sri Lankan army personnel not being investigated?

     No such report. Rubbish… ! Is caring for them and giving them food raping ? Tamil children ages 12, 13 got them selves pregnant during LTTE time to avoid getting dragged by the LTTE. what SL army has done is taken some of the pregnant women to hospital on their own shoulders when they didn’t have transport – that’s why we call it the humanitarian mission and not war.. Several civilians were kept lying to die by the LTTE whom were air lifted to hospitals by SL forces – if you call this rape, I feel sorry for you…

     7) Why are Sri Lankan journalists questioning the conduct of the war being killed, tortured or forced into exile if the government has nothing to hide?

     You are talking of one incident where Mr. Lasantha Wickramathunge was killed. I do not agree with this either as Lasantha was one of my favourit editors. But, we do not have proof as to who killed him. I am absolutely with you if you are talking about Lasantha. There is no need to kill opposition to drive a point. However, a traitor like Sunanda Deshapriya should be jailed.

     8) How can a chauvinist regime responsible for the worst kind of prejudice and atrocities against its minority population be entrusted with either their immediate rehabilitation or long-term solutions to the island’s ethnic question?

     Well, the rehabilitation will be done by the Tamils themselves… It will be done by the provincial councils and the members would be elected by the people in the areas… We can see the development that happens in East – will be the same in North.. Already the road infrastructure is quite complete. The A9 is not a carpet road as oppose to the broken road we had. 100 + bridges will come up within the next few months.. Developing the area will be No1 priority – will take it as the best opportunity to show the world that we do not mean harm to Tamil people.

     9) How long will it be before Mahinda Rajapakse and all high officials under his command are brought before an International Tribunal to account for their war crimes and crimes against humanity?

     It will happen the day the USA would be taken to the same court for Hiroshima Bombing, What happened in Iraq and Afghanistan. Also Israel for attacking Gaza strip. However, when the Americans and the Israelis would be found guilty, Mahinda R will walk out free as there was no intentional attack on any civilian by any means.

     10) Now that the Tamil Tigers are defeated is it not time for the world to tame the rampaging Sinhala Lion too?

     Once the kill is over, the lions is the most tamed animal – they would not care for a rabbit that that would walk inside it’s mouth. They only kill when they are hungry, not like the tigers who would kill for the fun. Well, Lions are not hungry any more… Now they will relax – look to the future…. and make it the most wonderful where it will restore the pride of the Nation of the lions as it was 2500 years ago till European attacks.

379. Mr.Roshan,your statement evidents are not correct.Till now the international social workers or International Journalists are not allowed by SLG.Then how can the world getting the real news.You got the news from SLG.The Peoples Who are living in temporary camp,their living condition is till Worst.The youngsters are abducted and killing till now.The young ladies treated abusvely by Army.Defnce ministry Secretary Kothapaya`s statements are very ferocity and genociding.From his statement showed that no anybody of tamils cant live in Srilanka without fear.

380. @ Alfonso – I think you are going a bit overboard and needs help of a psychiatric… U are really loosing it man !!

381. Mr.Stephan,Los angels,California.

     You handing for splendid victory of SLG.This mean you accept the 20,000 tamils killing.You are not a neutral man.I wan to say to you the ltte is not terrerist.Who are terrerist?.1948 to till now more than 90,000 tamils killing by every rulers of SLG.You did not talk about this matter.Why not?.If you are a neutral man you should be said about all fact.You cant,you hiding tamils suffering behind your article.Even not one word of tamils suffering in your article.Your long article indicated that you are representated from SLG.Sir,Nelson mandela,Yasir Arabath,Koh shi men,Mahathma ghandi also terrerist in past.Your Ex.President George Push destroyed the Iraq.Till now the Iraq violence is take placing.The ltte fight for thier peoples in inland,fight with the SLG.The whole tamils are with Ltte.for why,they know who for them.You said you are in Srilanka in length period.Was you in vanni living with peoples?.
     Was you in North East part of Srilanka?.If you there,you are treated by luxus by SLG.or you was in Colombo or sourrounding places in Hotels,also you got well furnished refreshment.Tamils know how and which treating you got.Your pen dont have heart,but you have,please write from your heart.SLG is not only enemies of tamils,but like you peoples also.Sir,anybody who have hungry they want food,means tamils dont have freedom in Srilanka,hence they want freedom.If you neutral you should be analyse both sides.At last, LTTE is not terrerist.They are freedom fighters of the tamils,for the tamils,by the tamils.

382. ANKAYATPIRIYAN – First of all let me thank you for using decent language in this site… Most of the others do tend to forget that this is a discussion forum and not a War zone !

     I agree that 20,000 Tamils were killed in the War zone during the past 2-3 years – But, I also must say that they were the LTTE carders that Sri Lanka Army claimed to kill – if the war was against the LTTE, obviously they would be at the receiving end and be killed. If they had laid down the arms, they would have been saved.

     Also, about the people in make shift camps, they are being looked after very well. The facilities provided are way better than what the Katrina Victims enjoyed during their make shift periods. You tell me where on earth you have heard of banking facilities to a makeshift camp ? Where U heard of Singhala Artists going and entertaining these people with sign song sessions ? Where on earth the Singhala people give part of their monthly earnings and give away their cloths, food to be given to those who are displaced? Will any nationality do so if they hate another nationality ? Just a simple question, Will an American starve to send food to Afghanistan ? Will a Shiite Muslim give clothing or food to a Sunni Muslim ? This is the compassion the Singhalees have for their Tamil brotheren. So please do not say that Singhalees are out right Killing Tamils. Please understand that these people cannot go to their houses as yet because those areas are surrounded by land mines. They have quite decent living standards for a make shift camp in here.

     Many international journalists including Stephan and many other individuals from the UN are working in these camps at the moment. Recently, a US senator and many ambassadors were taken to the camps and were given the opportunity to speak with the public and get their views. So, SL government not allowing the international to visit the area is not true. Even UN chief Mr. Ban Ki Moon visited the camps during his stay here and flew over the area of conflict.

     As for your comments on Mr. Stephans article, Out of the 90,000 tamils killed during the conflict, I am sure that 85,000 are the Tamils those who were killed by the LTTE including the Lakshman Kadiragamars and Nilan Thiruchelvan. LTTE has killed much more Tamils than the SL army ever could have.

     As you have clearly mentioned, Nelson Mandela and Mahathma Ghandi won their battle by electing to go peacefully and not take guns against a legal government and smuggle drugs to raise funds. LTTE was beconing a menace to the whole world due to illegal activities as Arm and Drug smuggling.

     Mr. Stephan as mentioned in his article has been living in the effected said area not for few days, but for many months. So, he has a clear picture of what he is talking of – Now my question to you is – Have you been to these areas ?? Are you at least in Sri Lanka ?? I don't think so…

     LTTE are terrorists and were dealt with in the right manner. Please note that this is not a war against Tamils – People of all religions and races live quite peacefully in all parts of the land. it was the LTTE who killed and chased away the Sinhalese and Muslim people from north. Our Presidents & Mr. Gotabaya's niece is married to a Tamil – so he would not be racial at all either. Tamils who are law abiding have plenty of freedom in Sri Lanka – We dine together, sing together, Club together and even bathe together (in the sea:) … So we do not have a problem within races. Only problem were LTTE and they are now almost wiped off the planet earth.

     Now that the LTTE is Crushed – Some Advice for the “Western Powers”
     Sat, 2009-05-30 12:43

     By Stephen Long – Los Angeles, California

     I just returned from a lengthy visit to Sri Lanka, and I witnessed first-hand the Government’s splendid victory over the LTTE terrorists. Every day I read with great interest the many comments and opinions that were written on the conflict by both Sri Lankan and international journalists. From my perspective, I can assure you that the Government acted with restraint and compassion throughout the entire ordeal. I also saw that the so-called “Western Powers” were totally misinformed on the situation, which resulted in their passing a hasty judgment that condemned the Government’s conduct toward the IDP’s and the human shields still trapped in the No Fire Zone.

     Having said this, I am grateful for US Congressional Representative Heath Schuler of North Carolina for his support of the Government’s relief efforts yesterday, and for accurately reporting what he saw with his own eyes in the IDP camps in the North. I’m sure his report will go a long way towards correcting misperceptions in America.

     A couple of things I could never understand: The first is why were the “Western Powers” so interested in preserving the life of the terrorist leader, Prabhakaran? Secondly, why was the US Ambassador, Robert Blake, feeding his boss, Hillary Clinton, such erroneous and false information that lead to her “disappointment” with the Sri Lankan Government, and her eventual condemnation? I’m sure the answers to these questions will eventually surface over time, but examining them here is not the focus of this article.

     I would like to offer some advice to the “Western Powers” in regards to re-examining their policy and approach to dealing with Sri Lanka:

     During the thirty-year conflict many people of all ethnicities left Sri Lanka to seek greener pastures in Western countries. There are approximately 300,000 of them in Canada, 200,000 in the US, and another 300,000 in European countries. Many of these immigrants used the “political asylum” card, and as we have later discovered, many of those were lying about the persecution they claimed they received at home. I’m not singling out only the Tamils in this respect; Sinhalese and Muslim immigrants also played the same hand.

     Now that the war against the LTTE is over, the “Western Powers” need not accept any more immigrants from Sri Lanka who attempt to seek political asylum. This should come as a great relief to many of those countries who now find themselves embroiled in protests from two fronts: caught in the middle between trying to please new political constituents, and simply doing the right thing by protecting Sri Lankan embassies, places of worship, helping out with the IDP’s in the North, etc.

     Secondly, drug trafficking was one of the primary ways the LTTE raised money to finance its war in Sri Lanka. A little-publicized story a few years ago even revealed that the LTTE had attempted to dig a tunnel from British Columbia in Canada down to Washington State, through which it would smuggle drugs into America. Now that the war is over, the LTTE drug trafficking should cease. There are still LTTE front organizations in the Western countries, however, and I suggest you put an end to them just as Canada banned the World Tamil Movement. Many members of these organizations still have the LTTE dream in their heads, and perhaps they need to be taught that the dream was really a nightmare, and that their donations had actually helped to fund death and destruction instead of their mythical Eelam.

     The LTTE, as it has been revealed, was closely associated with a variety of extremist groups in other countries, and they helped each other train their cadres in the fine points of suicide bombing, guerilla warfare, and weapons use, among other things. They also assisted one another in the smuggling of weapons. Now that the LTTE has been crushed there should be fewer light aircraft, submarines, tanks, and other weapons smuggled from former Soviet Republics, Southeast Asian nations, and other countries. I know it may only make a dent in the huge international illicit weapons trade, but every little bit counts. Still, don’t give up on “following the money trail,” and do your best to expose those who supplied the LTTE with weapons until they are prosecuted in every country.

     I suggest that Senator Patrick Leahey and Hillary Clinton stop listening to the rubbish of Bruce Fein, the mercenary former Deputy US Attorney, Washington lobbyist, and spokesperson for various LTTE front organizations in North America. He is reportedly being paid $100,000 a month to tell lies about the GOSL and the Rajapaksa brothers, and currently works for an American organization called “Tamils Against Genocide.” Just to show you where his morals are, while he condemns the actions of the GOSL against the LTTE terrorists, he also represents the Turkish Government and condemns the actions of the Kurdish terrorists against the government. It’s the same issue – and he gets money from both sides from two clients. Very clever. Mr. Fein is hardly a credible, unbiased source of information, and when he calls on influential policy makers in Washington I suggest they lock their doors.

     It is obvious that both Senator Leahey and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have been “pitched” by Mr. Fein, since their leanings on the Sri Lanka issue are toward his point of view. I’m sad to say that it appears they have paid attention to this materialistic Beltway prostitute, and the GOSL has suffered unfairly as a consequence. I suggest they start investigating how Bruce Fein can represent banned terrorist front organizations and get away with it for nearly two years – and still be a practicing member of the American Bar Association.

     In regards to prosecuting Defence Secretary Gotabaya Rajapaksa, Presidential Advisor Basil Rajapaksa, and Army Commander General Sarath Fonseka for genocide in the international courts, I think the “Western Powers” should give up this ridiculous pursuit. The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Ms. Navi Pillay of South Africa, wants to investigate this silly allegation, but she should stop and listen to her comrades who supported Sri Lanka in the UN resolution last week in Geneva. Perhaps she has been listening to Bruce Fein, too. I suggest that the UN and the “Western Powers” start concentrating on how they can help the IDP’s in the North – seriously and quickly – and accept the fact that the authorities in Sri Lanka simply did what they had to do to rid their country of a terrorist scourge (the same that they would have done on their own turfs.)

     I think it’s time the media in Western countries takes an honest, serious look at the great progress Sri Lanka has made on a number of fronts – in spite of dealing with a 30-year war against terrorism: the elections and massive re-development programs in the Eastern Province, the appointment of a former child soldier for the LTTE as Chief Minister for the Eastern Province, the Government’s excellent health care and educational systems, the rehabilitation and appointment of former LTTE chief “Karuna” as Vice President of the largest political party in the country, the rapid rebuilding of tsunami areas (and compare this to post-Katrina New Orleans), and many others. While they’re at it, the Western journalists can show the world how beautiful Sri Lanka is, and what a great place it is for tourists.

     Lastly, the “Western Powers” should be very careful about pushing Sri Lanka too closely into the arms of China, Russia, Pakistan, India, and other neighbors in the Asian region. A close relationship with China, for example, developed during the war against the LTTE when the GOSL couldn’t get arms anywhere else. Now China is building a US $1 billion seaport in Sri Lanka’s south, and is financially helping the Government care for the IDP’s in the north. The “Western Powers” should be thinking about the balance of power in the region, and figuring out ways it can mend some fences with the GOSL – fast. The “Western Powers” don’t seem to understand that every country has to have friends and allies in order to survive, and if they are abandoned by the West, then they have no choice but join the camps of China, Libya, and its Asian neighbors who are perhaps more friendly and sympathetic to their needs and goals.

     The policies and neo-colonial interests of the “Western Powers” need to be examined closely by all parties from this point forward. Everyone should learn to respect Sri Lanka as a democratic, free, sovereign nation that deserves a decent place in the international community. Give Sri Lanka a break. Stop wasting time trying to make an enemy, and concentrate on making a good friend instead.

388. Mr.Roshan,your statement evidents are not correct.Till now the international social workers or International Journalists are not allowed by SLG.Then how can the world getting the real news.You got the news from SLG.The Peoples Who are living in temporary camp,their living condition is till Worst.The youngsters are abducted and killing till now.The young ladies treated abusvely by Army.Defnce ministry Secretary Kothapaya`s statements are very ferocity and genociding.From his statement showed that no anybody of tamils cant live in Srilanka without fear.

389. Mr.Stephan,Los angels,California.

     You handing for splendid victory of SLG.This mean you accept the 20,000 tamils killing.You are not a neutral man.I wan to say to you the ltte is not terrerist.Who are terrerist?.1948 to till now more than 90,000 tamils killing by every rulers of SLG.You did not talk about this matter.Why not?.If you are a neutral man you should be said about all fact.You cant,you hiding tamils suffering behind your article.Even not one word of tamils suffering in your article.Your long article indicated that you are representated from SLG.Sir,Nelson mandela,Yasir Arabath,Koh shi men,Mahathma ghandi also terrerist in past.Your Ex.President George Push destroyed the Iraq.Till now the Iraq violence is take placing.The ltte fight for thier peoples in inland,fight with the SLG.The whole tamils are with Ltte.for why,they know who for them.You said you are in Srilanka in length period.Was you in vanni living with peoples?.
     Was you in North East part of Srilanka?.If you there,you are treated by luxus by SLG.or you was in Colombo or sourrounding places in Hotels,also you got well furnished refreshment.Tamils know how and which treating you got.Your pen dont have heart,but you have,please write from your heart.SLG is not only enemies of tamils,but like you peoples also.Sir,anybody who have hungry they want food,means tamils dont have freedom in Srilanka,hence they want freedom.If you neutral you should be analyse both sides.At last, LTTE is not terrerist.They are freedom fighters of the tamils,for the tamils,by the tamils.

390. ANKAYATPIRIYAN – First of all let me thank you for using decent language in this site… Most of the others do tend to forget that this is a discussion forum and not a War zone !

     I agree that 20,000 Tamils were killed in the War zone during the past 2-3 years – But, I also must say that they were the LTTE carders that Sri Lanka Army claimed to kill – if the war was against the LTTE, obviously they would be at the receiving end and be killed. If they had laid down the arms, they would have been saved.

     Also, about the people in make shift camps, they are being looked after very well. The facilities provided are way better than what the Katrina Victims enjoyed during their make shift periods. You tell me where on earth you have heard of banking facilities to a makeshift camp ? Where U heard of Singhala Artists going and entertaining these people with sign song sessions ? Where on earth the Singhala people give part of their monthly earnings and give away their cloths, food to be given to those who are displaced? Will any nationality do so if they hate another nationality ? Just a simple question, Will an American starve to send food to Afghanistan ? Will a Shiite Muslim give clothing or food to a Sunni Muslim ? This is the compassion the Singhalees have for their Tamil brotheren. So please do not say that Singhalees are out right Killing Tamils. Please understand that these people cannot go to their houses as yet because those areas are surrounded by land mines. They have quite decent living standards for a make shift camp in here.

     Many international journalists including Stephan and many other individuals from the UN are working in these camps at the moment. Recently, a US senator and many ambassadors were taken to the camps and were given the opportunity to speak with the public and get their views. So, SL government not allowing the international to visit the area is not true. Even UN chief Mr. Ban Ki Moon visited the camps during his stay here and flew over the area of conflict.

     As for your comments on Mr. Stephans article, Out of the 90,000 tamils killed during the conflict, I am sure that 85,000 are the Tamils those who were killed by the LTTE including the Lakshman Kadiragamars and Nilan Thiruchelvan. LTTE has killed much more Tamils than the SL army ever could have.

     As you have clearly mentioned, Nelson Mandela and Mahathma Ghandi won their battle by electing to go peacefully and not take guns against a legal government and smuggle drugs to raise funds. LTTE was beconing a menace to the whole world due to illegal activities as Arm and Drug smuggling.

     Mr. Stephan as mentioned in his article has been living in the effected said area not for few days, but for many months. So, he has a clear picture of what he is talking of – Now my question to you is – Have you been to these areas ?? Are you at least in Sri Lanka ?? I don’t think so…

     LTTE are terrorists and were dealt with in the right manner. Please note that this is not a war against Tamils – People of all religions and races live quite peacefully in all parts of the land. it was the LTTE who killed and chased away the Sinhalese and Muslim people from north. Our Presidents & Mr. Gotabaya’s niece is married to a Tamil – so he would not be racial at all either. Tamils who are law abiding have plenty of freedom in Sri Lanka – We dine together, sing together, Club together and even bathe together (in the sea:) … So we do not have a problem within races. Only problem were LTTE and they are now almost wiped off the planet earth.

395. Make your choice, fellow tamilians.

     Friday, May 29, 2009 at 6:20pm

     So, I'm a Tamil.and proud of it. Proud of my culture, proud of my language, proud of the achievements of many of my fellow tamilians all over the world. Born here, right here in sunny Sri lanka. And Ive finally decided to say something. I know Im going to ruffle a lot more than a few feathers here- possibly even have a few people get themselves off my facebook friends list , but then, I've gotten sick and tired of all the chitter-chatter around me these past two weeks, So I shall say what I have to.

     Firstly, I know that Im just tired. Tired of the racism, tired of being generalized, labelled, looked down at, tired of the frikin war and everything that happened because of it. Im sure, as a tamil, you are too.
     Second, I'm not too jubilant and dancing on the street now that the war is over. there was too much of a price to pay to get what is today labelled as peace. and I will not dance till it really happens. we all "know" too much about the politics. So I won't need to say much.

     But, here's where the feathers get ruffled. Im happy too. Im happy that the war is "over". Happy that He is dead ( oh yes, I said it). happy that maybe, just maybe, if the politicos and powers that be play thier cards right, this country- my country- can actually go somewhere. Develop. be a happy place. Maybe.
     But just when I start looking at the positive side of things, I realised that suddenly the racism has actually increased. I realised that I had to keep voicing my usually quite thoughts just so that I wont be labelled anymore. and unfortunately, my dear fellow tamilians, its because of some of you.
     I've been repeatedly accused of "not knowing the real story" whenever I voice my absolute disgust at the terrorist organisation that has plagued my race, and at the man some of you celebrate as a hero. and you know what? I don't care what the "real story" is anymore. I am NOT and will NOT allow anyone to label me anymore. To the dear people who are publicly becoming "fans" of Mr.Velupillai Prabaharan, to those of you who are "fighting" for eelam because you don't want to leave your western comforts, to those of you who say its not over till all of us are killed ( Im sorry, please speak for yourself), to those of you who still beleive the LTTE fought for your rights and nothing else, to those of you who say it is only because of HIM that we can walk the streets today because he has given us a voice ( sorry- he has only made the others so scared to approach a tamil just in case he/she blew themselves up, so he has not given us a voice, he's just made the world frightened of tamils), to all those who after all this are still making me feel GUILTY to be a tamil, this is a plea to you to please STOP.

     STOP, and START trying to make a difference for a change. Turn your patriotic songs of praise for the LTTE into some positive songs about rebuilding our fallen nation.
     NO, Im not asking you to help the other terrorists, our dear government who are guilty of many many crimes, but Im asking you to help yourselves. If you live abroad, use your dollars and pounds to fund development for your people here, rather than contribute it towards arms to kill someone. If you live here, then try spreading some positivity rather than telling the whole world that the tamils can't live in peace and still want a frikkin separate state.

     THIS is our country. THIS is a country that many years ago was ahead of even singapore. WHEN will we get there? When we can do things together. please knock that into your deranged brainwashed heads. PLEASE, let this , OUR country get some real happiness. Its about time.

     If you think that by saying all this I'm not a real tamil, please think again. I want our race to get somewhere, but not by trampling the others down. I know we don't have the rights of our fellow sinhalese here, but we will never get them by killing them. ever. we have to work with them. hey, be selfish for a change and do something positive so that YOU can benefit from peace and prosperity. at least think of it that way.
     Im doing my part by helping the IDP's in whatever way I can, but I will not let myself be labelled anymore.
     to all of you who were afraid of saying things to me, or when I was around because I am a tamil and you thought I shared the view of the "diaspora" supporters, now you know. I don't blame you for generalising. its the fault of my people. but you know very well that its not thiers alone.
     I can't write kavithais , but when I listen to this song, it still gives me goosebumps, still gives me tears. justchaneg a few words here and there and we can look at it as an anthem for us to get up and do something positive, make a change. Please.

397. Sri Lankan Puppets in the Hands of Emerging Superpowers
     We all wept when the Asian Tsunami took the lives of thousands
     When the Asian Tsunami struck the shores of Sri Lanka, more than thirty thousands died instantly. They stopped breathing in minutes after they were swept into the ocean. Their last chapters were very brief.
     News channels from major broadcasting networks were showing the horrors of tsunami twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. Media and Sports personalities appealed for aid. We packed gifts and took it to our churches and schools. Nations of the free world gave billions as aid to a country that still treats its Tamil minorities as second class citizens.
     But the world remained silent when thousands of women and children experienced painful slow death in the killing fields of Sri Lanka
     Another disaster struck the Tamils of Sri Lanka recently and this was a war conducted with many hidden agendas. More than fifty thousand innocent Tamil civilians were killed and thirty thousands were maimed in one of the most brutal wars in the history of the mankind. This war has cost more lives than the Asian Tsunami in this tear drop island.
     Men, women and children were forced to live inside bunkers without food and medicine for months. Innocent civilians were bombed and killed by Chinese F7s and Russian MIGs in schools, hospitals and public places. Heavy artilleries and banned weapons were used against the helpless and vulnerable.
     Many had to experience slow and painful death. Wounded civilians were bombed even when they were being treated in makeshift hospitals. Food and medicine were denied deliberately to the sick and to the needy. Women and children had to witness horrors after horrors.
     News channels in the west didn't give much importance to this man made tsunami that was orchestrated by some world powers. Media and Sports personalities who regularly talk about poverty elimination in Asia and Africa didn't even lift a single finger to save the innocent lives.
     Corrupt leaders in the UN failed in their duties. Instead of protecting the vulnerable, they danced to the wrong tunes that were played by the wrong people
     UN and other international organisations who are supposed to protect the vulnerable, acted like they were also part of a mysterious game that took the lives of thousands. Many had the powers to stop the destruction but they didn't do it because they didn't want to.
     The way how the diplomats and the leaders of some Nations spoke and acted during the war, made many to doubt that they were all acting out a script, written by some aliens from space.
     Many leaders including the UN Secretary General kept their mouths shut and spoke only a little when they had to. Vijay Nambiar, the Head of Staffs at UN and other UN representatives went to Sri Lanka few times to negotiate a ceasefire but they failed because they had their own agendas.
     They had miserably failed in their roles and had provided their full support to a regime that had committed crimes against humanity.
     Some Indian leaders who were orchestrating the war in Sri Lanka visited Colombo few times not to arrange a ceasefire, not to stop the war, not to talk about the civilian causalities but to monitor the progress of the war and to congratulate the Sri Lankan authorities.
     They always talked about receiving the head of the rebel leader on a platter and a piece of document with the proof of his death. This was to deceive the world that they were only after the rebel leader and the war was not about military strategies in the region and India having access to the oil reserves found in the Seas of Sri Lanka.
     Only person who came across as a genuine defender of human rights was Hon. David Miliband. He confronted the Sri Lankan authorities about the deaths caused by the usage of heavy and banned weapons against civilians. As usual David Miliband or anybody who talks about human rights violations in Sri Lanka are called white tigers, brown tigers or yellow tigers depending on the colour of their skin.
     War on Terror is over but the Killings haven't stopped
     Sri Lankan authorities had declared that they had killed the rebel leader and decimated his group. According to them, terrorism has now been wiped out from Sri Lanka.
     But the ground realities are telling us a different story. War is over but the killings haven't stopped yet. Sri Lankan government hasn't finished with the Tamils. Every Tamil man, woman and child is considered as a suspect. Under the emergency rules, Sri Lankan forces have the right to arrest or kill anybody they consider as a suspect. Living as a Tamil in Sri Lanka is like walking on a thin rope above a deep valley that is filled with deadly snakes.
     So called war on terror and humanitarian operations are now over. But the killings are still continuing. One should now question whether the objectives of the war were genuine. No government on earth would bomb and kill fifty thousands people and make thirty thousands maimed and destroy an area twice the size of Singapore just to chop the head of just one rebel leader.
     “Killings of Tamils” started after Sri Lanka gained independence in 1948 and this will continue till the government of Sri Lanka come up with a constructive plan to address the grievances of the Tamil community in this island.
     How is the world responding to the massacre of Tamils?
     Forty seven nations came together to vote on Sri Lanka. Majority voted in favour of Sri Lanka and they all took a stand that what had been happening in Sri Lanka was an internal issue. They voted to congratulate Sri Lankan Government on its victory over the Tamil Tigers and to ignore calls for an inquiry into possible war crimes.
     United Nations Human Rights Council has now lost its credibility. This body has totally lost its purpose for which it exists.
     According to the majority who voted in favour of Sri Lanka, their message was very clear. “No matter what Sri Lanka does to the Tamils, we will stand shoulder to shoulder with the Sri Lankan government because we also have skeletons in our closets. Let them bomb and kill innocent women and children. Let them starve them to death. Let them deny medicine to the wounded. Even if they kill all the Tamils and dump them in mass graves, we will still support this terror island because we have our own interests and hidden agendas in the region”
     This is the state of the world now. Many of these countries no longer care about human rights but are only interested in satisfying their own greed.
     I often wonder if voting is a great idea in emergency situations where the majority is not at all interested in saving lives but having their focus on destructive policies in order to look after their own interests.
     If a building is on fire, it is not sensible to have voting and then decide not to go and save lives when the majority is not interested. We don't have voting to rescue the passengers from a sinking ship. Even if we have one, the focus will not be on whether to save the people or not but on how to save the lives.
     Human Rights Council should now be discussing about helping the innocent civilians who are abused in the Nazi Style concentration camps in Sri Lanka. It is a disgrace to the whole humanity that a green light has now been given to any country that wants to wipe out its minority.
     Could we have avoided this bloodshed?
     The answer is “Yes”, but there were many beneficiaries in this war. Therefore many had decided not to stop the war but to let it to continue till the end, despite thousands of civilian causalities. Countries like India, China and Pakistan, who have traditionally not been in good terms, surprisingly became friends. They acted like vultures that came to an agreement to share a piece of meat, which they were desperately looking for.
     Everybody knew what was happening. World leaders were listening to the casualty figures as a slow cricket commentary. Some of them made statements here and there, just for the sake of making it. Nobody had the boldness to stand up and say “STOP THE KILLINGS”. They had the power but they didn't do it.
     UN was updating its score boards with the number of deaths taking place. Even when the score went up by thousands a day, they kept quite. They didn't open their mouths and speak about it.
     US satellites were taking pictures of the killings but no attempts were made to stop the bloodbath. Hearts of the nations became stones and the helpless perished so that the greedy could be satisfied.
     Defenders of human rights and highly paid diplomats were hearing about the horrors in Sri Lanka while having their big breakfasts. They found these stories very boring. Experts and researchers in human rights were looking forward to publish their latest journal papers instead of doing something about saving lives.
     Many western countries, although some had raised their voices, their statements were not strong enough to stop a regime that was determined to carry on with its destructive agenda.
     Relatives of those who were dying in Vanni went to the streets of great cities of the world. They knelt down and cried before the kings and queens. They protested through various means. We didn't hear their cry but we found them very annoying because they blocked our streets. They did all that was possible to get the message across. But their cries fell on our deaf ears. If we did listen and acted, we would have saved thousands of lives.
     Our radio shows were not about the reasons for the protests but we talked about how to get these protesters out of our streets. We are now happy because there are no more Tamil protests and many of the people who they were trying to protect are now dead.
     It is very clear that this war was conducted with the full support of many countries .They could have persuaded the Sri Lankan government to stop the bloodshed especially after the rebels had announced their surrender.
     Bloodbath could have been avoided but nobody was interested because all went according to their plans. Partners of this war had started to reap their benefits even before it had come to an end.
     Who benefited from this war?
     Sri Lankan government was used as a puppet in the hands of India and China for these countries to secure their interests in the region. Everybody is happy now, apart from an innocent Tamil community that is slowly being wiped out from Sri Lanka.
     Sinhala extremists who have been killing Tamils for more than sixty years in this country have a lot to rejoice for.
     China has been fishing in the trouble spots of this world. It has once again achieved its goal by giving deadly weapons to the one it saw as the “strong man”. China has started many construction projects in the South of Sri Lanka including a port that will mainly be used by its Navy.
     India has already started to draft project plans for oil explorations in the seas of Sri Lanka and now sending its experts to start many construction projects in the North and East of the country.
     Although China and Pakistan had supplied most of the deadly weapons, they were neither involved in writing the script nor executing the script for the War.
     Sri Lankan President had recently acknowledged that he fought India's war in Sri Lanka. One of the former Indian High Commissioners has confessed that India has blood in its hands but India doesn't care about the plight of the Tamils in Sri Lanka.
     War in Sri Lanka was not to do with the head of the rebel leader. Making a big deal out of the body of the rebel leader and all these victory speeches were not foolish acts but they were deliberately done by parties who want to hide all the deadly snakes under their carpets.
     War Crimes in Sri Lanka
     Number of war crimes that had been committed by the Sri Lankan forces is more than what Saddam Hussein did to the Kurdish people.
     Surrendered rebels with white flags were executed and thousands of wounded civilians were killed without mercy. Serious war crimes have been committed and the culprits are not just Sri Lankan forces but some Indian security experts, Sri Lankan and Indian politicians and UN officers.
     Banned weapons (cluster and phosphorus bombs) were used against innocent men, women and children. Red Cross workers were killed. The same hospitals were repeatedly bombed. Buildings and properties were destroyed by very powerful bombs.
     Innocent civilians were forced to live inside the bunkers for months. Food and medicine were denied to them.
     Sri Lanka is still hiding the evidences
     Killing more than fifty thousands, wounding thirty thousands and forcing three hundred thousands in concentration camps will not convince anybody as a genuine humanitarian or rescue operation. These people never lived as hostages in the first place.
     Sri Lanka knows that serious war crimes had been committed and they are now working to hide their atrocities.
     Witnesses of these war crimes are mainly the people who came out of the war zone. They saw all that happened to them and to their loved ones. One of the main reasons why the Sri Lankan forces are not allowing journalists and aid workers into the IDP (Internally Displaced People) camps is because they want to hide their crimes.
     Three doctors who served the wounded people in Vanni are considered as real heroes by the international community. Instead of appreciating their efforts, Sri Lankan government has locked them up in jail in order to hide the evidences of war crimes.
     War came to an end two weeks ago but the journalists and aid workers are still not allowed to the war zone. When Sri Lanka declared that the war was over and all the civilians had been rescued, there were still thousands of wounded lying in the killing fields and many frightened civilians were hiding inside the bunkers.
     Mass graves have become an outdated technique for the Sri Lankan forces. Sri Lankan authorities are still not allowing any journalists or aid workers to the war zone. It is taking quite a long time for the military to dispose thousands of dead bodies.
     Recent announcement by the Head of Sri Lankan armed forces about how they cremated the rebel leader’s body and threw the ashes into the sea is an indication that they are using the same technique on all the dead bodies. Sri Lankan forces might probably using mobile cremation furnaces to cremate the bodies in order to wipe out evidences.
     It is obviously going to take sometime for them to finish this process considering the number of people died in the conflict. When everything is over, our BBC reporters will be taken to that area and they would tell us about a beautiful blue sky and golden flat sandy beaches in Vanni.
     War crime evidences have already been collected
     This is one of the controversial wars in the history. Although the Sri Lankan forces had barred all the reporters and journalists into the war zone, images and videos of the dying civilians were regularly sent out to individuals and organisations all over the world.
     Communication systems were functioning in Vanni till the last minute. High resolution satellite images are available to prove the use of heavy weapons against the civilians. Last moments of the war had been captured by various technical devices.
     It is a complete waste of time that Sri Lankan authorities are shutting the mouths of those in the IDP camps because many civilians who were stuck in the war zone till the last day were able to cross the waters and many had already reached the foreign shores.
     Millions of evidences are already available to prove that Sri Lankan forces had committed war crimes and those who are responsible for these crimes should be brought to justice.
     Horror camps for the Tamil civilians
     Sri Lankan forces bombed and killed more than fifty thousands. Now they have locked three hundred thousands up in Nazi style concentration camps.
     Ten to fourteen deaths are taking place daily in these notorious camps mostly among the children and elderly. Detainees are not allowed to meet their relatives and are not allowed to receive foods or cloths from their loved ones.
     Sky news had recently reported about rapes and torture taking place inside these camps. Young people are disappearing daily. Dead bodies are thrown outside these camps.
     Wounded and the sick and not given proper medical care. Sri Lankan government is still not allowing any international aid workers to these camps. Family members are purposely kept in separate camps in order to destroy the foundations of the entire Tamil race in Sri Lanka.
     Can this happen again?
     This will be repeated again in Sri Lanka or in some other parts of the world unless we bring the culprits to justice and restructure UN with the powers to deal with such wars in the future
     War in Sri Lanka was orchestrated by India. Deadly weapons were given by China and Pakistan. UN and many Western Nations knew what was happening but they remained silent.
     Are we going to allow something similar to happen in the future? Do these innocents have to die to satisfy the greed of some countries?
     UN with its corrupt staffs has failed in their duties. They deliberately remained silent and didn't do anything constructive to stop the bloodshed although they had the ability to do so.
     Sri Lankan leaders became puppets in the hands of some of these sleeping giants. Masters of this war should be brought to justice.
     Role of UN in resolving any conflicts in the future is now in doubt. We desperately need an International body that can stand on its own and stop such crimes. There is no use in having an organisation that is completely powerless to stop the killings of the innocents.
     Sri Lanka is now on radar
     As far as Sri Lanka is concerned, Rebel leader is dead. LTTE is gone. More than fifty thousand civilians have been killed.
     If everybody is happy with what they have achieved, the question is why the killings are still taking place? Tamils are still intimidated and their properties are burned throughout the country. Tamil women on the streets are harassed by Sinhala mobs.
     This island might even witness another riot just like it experienced in the fifties, sixties, seventies and eighties.
     Those times, they sent the Tamils to the North and East. As the whole island is now filled with uniformed Sinhala men and women with arms, Tamils will have nowhere to run for their safety.
     Danger of another Tamil rebellion
     The Tamil Diaspora is not an alien to Sri Lanka. More than ninety percent of the Tamils among the Diaspora had witnessed what happened to their friends and relatives in Vanni. They saw their brothers and sisters, fathers and mothers dying helplessly. They communicated with their loved ones till the last days of the war and they all knew what was happening. Many of them have their relatives locked up in these notorious IDP camps.
     Prabhakarans are not born but they are made. He did all that he did after witnessing many horrors. He saw Tamils being burned alive in the south of Sri Lanka. He saw properties of the Tamils being destroyed by Sinhala mobs.
     If the oppression against the Tamils continues, Sri Lanka and even India might one day regret creating more Prabhakarans out of the Tamils from the Diaspora.
     Minority indigenous Tamils who live mainly in the north and east of the country are one of the most oppressed communities on this planet.
     Future of Sri Lanka completely depends on the steps taken by the Sri Lankan government. Policies based on racial and religious supremacy, attempts to continue with Sinhalasisation of the country through systematic Sinhala settlements in the Northern and Eastern provinces will escalate the conflict further and hit deadly levels.
     This may not just destabilise Sri Lanka but will even have global repercussions.
     Conclusion
     Sri Lankan President and his ministers have recently acknowledged that they fought India's war in Sri Lanka with the help of the weapons from China and Pakistan. Half of their crimes have now been confessed verbally by the Sri Lankan authorities.
     Sri Lankan leaders have now become puppets in the hands of two emerging superpowers that are competing with each other. A conflict that was once confined within the boundaries of Sri Lanka has now become an international issue. Sri Lankan military muscles have now been artificially strengthened by their new masters. A country that once spoke to the West with a humble voice has now started to challenge many countries.
     China's opposition in the Security Council for the Sri Lankan conflict to be discussed in the formal meetings is an obvious evidence for China's role in Sri Lanka's war.
     India, China and Pakistan found themselves on the same side with Sri Lanka in the United Nations Human Rights council. They all voted against war crime probes over alleged war crimes committed by Sri Lankan forces. This clearly shows that they all have blood in their hands.
     Defendants of human rights and the world powers who fought many wars to restore freedom for their own citizens have now seen the faces of the master magicians who orchestrated the war in Sri Lanka.
     Although India gave the strategic directions and China provided with the weapons for the war, it was the Sri Lankan armed forces that carried out the massacre of Tamil civilians. A country that is well known for slowly wiping out its minorities found a perfect opportunity to cause maximum damage to the innocent Tamils with the blessing of their new masters.
     Now it is time for the civilized to world to decide whether to allow the Sri Lankan government and its friends who had caused so many thousands of deaths, to run these controversial Nazi style concentration camps.
     We have all failed to save many lives in this war but it is still not too late to save the innocents that are still being abused, raped, tortured and killed in the barbed wired concentration camps.

     Ain't living in peace and letting these children have a life better than a bloody war fought to satisfy the ego of an idiot ??

399. @ ANKAYATPIRIYAN – Machan – Police attacks all Satyagraha's… I got caught to one and got beaten in 87 – 89 period when I was schooling… But, now I know that it was for a useless cause that we disturbed our studies and went on strike.. We were bullied by the then JVP and I am still not a fan of the JVP for that – I still think that they are way out nuts and definitely be beaten for misleading the poor school children. I was only 15 then and was totally mislead.. actually one of the reasons that we as kids supported the strike was for the fun angle we saw in it.. but got disrupted from our studies in return.

     About SLG not listening to the Tamils – Give this government a chance – more Tamils in SL seem to be behind this government and this would be one of the very few chances you would get to win the rights for the Tamil people. The president has Tamil relations and he is quite keen to solve the issues once and for all. So get what you can from him cause he is in a giving mood – what the JHU or any body says would not matter in a few days time after he wins the upcoming elections (general and Presidential) and have his people in the Cabinet. JHU is an extremist group – However, they do not have a majority following them showing that all Sinhalese Buddhists are not for extremism.

     Trust me, not all Sinhalese are Dancing and not All Tamils are Crying… I know that All Muslims are Dancing though :D.. It's a mixed feeling that we all have.. this is exactly where we should understand that we are one nation and we do feel for each other no matter how extreme some people might be.. President and Defense Secretary in our mind, saved the country from a Terrorist group so that all of us can live peacefully in this land.. trust me, if we had the 83 mentality, along with the win, there would have been many other killings of Tamil people in south. But not a single Singhala person or a Muslim person killed a single Tamil person or even scolded one. This means that we have moved out from that era. but, in Australia and England, Singhala people were attacked by the Tamil people – this means that it is the Tamil people who need to change their mentality towards the Singhala people – don't U think ??

     My Sister is working for one an NGO that is operational in SL and yesterday we collected food items and clothing items to be taken to the Make Shift Camps. I my self donated Milk Powder and Soap. I did not want to give used cloths and I didn't have time to shop for new cloths… This is how these people are taken in our hearts. The presidents Wife pledged to foster parent 300 Children without parents. They would be given to families who wish to take care of them or kept with educational institutes run by the government. This is how we treat these innocent people. The point I am trying to drive is that, we are not what you think of us to be – such people did not even exist in 83 – as you clearly said, majority are the people who helped you at your mothers funeral and less than 0.1% are the people who burnt the houses in 83. There is no chance for people like that to come in to power again.. There will be a solution that would enable that there will be no such people in power.

     I live among a load of Tamils from which most are good friends… There is no discrimination what so ever any more… I wish that you guys could come down to SL and see that to you selves.. Then you would know that the LTTE had their own agenda and mislead the whole Tamil Community to fulfill one man's wish… Do U think that you would have lived peacefully in a country lead by someone who killed all Tamils who opposed his wishes ?? Who would cut open wombs of pregnant mothers just because they oppose his opinion? Kill religious leaders ? – I don't think so – Prabha dying is probably a blessings you guys had – take the maximum use of it my brother !

400. If we see all comments from all people including Tamils, Singhalees, Sri Lankans (as my self) and foreign parties – we can see that we are divided in our thoughts no matter what the race or religions is. I see tamils against LTTE and Singhalees against War…

     This means that we need very good discussions happening and also a load of socializing to do with catching up on what we all have missed..

     hence, it is obvious that we all need to sit down and start discussing than throw things at each other – it would not take any body any where – provoking anyone would not help either !

403. Dear Roshan
     Your milk and soap may not even last for few days. But if you ask to free those people from being caged and let them look after themselves, they will thank you forever. (that is like if you destroy the fishing net and give fish for a poor family they will eat for 1 day but if you let THEM fish, they can eat most days). Please why dont you ask your president who is in a giving mode to free those people. I expect something of this nature from a person who feels for those people.

     Please don't say that government has to screen for LTTE remnants. There may be one or two but surely government must not fear those few as they don't have any weapons or any leadership. And Srilankan army still have the backup of India, china and Pakistan. So why put all those people AGAINST their will.

     Thanks for the milk and soap anyway.

404. Feel for the caged !

     Appreciate the little bit I did for them than be sarcastic about it … I will not stop here either.. this is only the beginning – when my sister goes to visit them mid this month, I will send more stuff including new clothing that would may be last for more than a few days.. The idea is to be there for them which we do and you guys don't… If you really care come down to SL and help them or at least send something to give to them.

     What made you think that they are going to be in the "Make Shift Camps" & feed them with our Tax money forever ? Why they are called MAKE SHIFT CAMPS is because it is temporary – If we send them now, the next thing you know, the Tamil population in northern Sri Lanka will be without legs – That would be because your loving leader Piribahara has planted landmines in these poor peoples gardens. U still want them to go to their houses… The SL army is sacrificing their limbs and clearing these landmines so that the people in camps could go back to their houses.

     The screening is a must – the idea behind camps is not only screening as I mentioned before. Not only India, Pakistan and China, representation from 1/4th of the world's population voted for Sri Lanka during the last UN summit.

     Please note that the people are already free – they themselves say that – All you people who haven't sighted this Land of Pride would not know jack about what ever is happening here apart from the lies spread by unworthy terrorists. The people were not free when they were sent as Suicide Bombers and taken in as Child soldiers even before they learned how to read and write. Check the youtube video I posted before if you really want to see the freedom you are talking about – the cyanide freedom !!

     U tell that the people are held against their will – give free food and shelter with playing areas and educational facilities instead of a cyanide capsule, I don't think they would ask for any other freedom. Think for a minute, aren't you guys in other countries the same ?? Staying free in another country (which is like a make shift camp for you guys), doing what you wish to do (Eat, Drink, Play, Study), and get free food (Get Asylum dole or some sort of free income to survive) ? The only thing the people in MSC do is that they don't destroy the camps they live in. As we heard from London and Quebec, your people there are destroying these cities !! Change your mentality sooner than later and don't get distracted by a few who have their own agendas – Sooner than later you will have to come back to Sri Lanka when those countries realize that there is no war any more… At that time, if you still have the wrong mentality, a lot more will feel sorry for you !

405. Thanks Roshan for the prompt reply. Seems like your full time job but I do appreciate your caring and concerns and a bright future.

     The landmines in people's gardens. Very artistic. I say that because I haven't heard about this from independent media. I would welcome any reference to this from Independent media. But again there won't be any isn't it because SLG would not allow them even after finishing terrorism. I wonder why??

     Roshan, don't get me wrong, I'm against terrorism and human rights violation from any party. If the people are happy in those camps and actually enjoying all those you said in ALL the camps (not just one or two which are to showcase for the world) then why not allow free media and unrestricted access.

     Do you know why all these countries supported SL, because they supplied arms, money and intelligence and if the war crimes come to surface then they may be liable for supporting the SL. So it was in their best interest to support SL for their safety not because they are in love with SLA's killings, abductions and ongoing rapings.

     Please, just be a human and think about it. There are plenty of ways to get money and fame.

     I just heard from BBC that a Sinhalese Journalist is badly traumatised for revealing a glimpse of truth about the SLG. Go figure the future of SL and I wonder who should feel sorry.

     Sorry da I got to go to work. I'm not one of those who live on the dole. The Tamils (and the sinhalese) have very good reputation among their peers at work and among their neighbours all over the world.

     May speak to you tomorrow if you have any sensible things to say

406. Unfortunately or fortunately I do get email alerts when you guys reply… !!

     The independent media you are talking about is now exposed (by George & Daya Masters) and we all know how Millions of Dollars were pumped in to these organizations by the LTTE to be their mouth organs !! You actually got to visit the areas and see to your selves. There are enough and more Journalists and Independent workers in these areas. Just that all are not allowed as we saw in the past where some, undercover with an NGO logo had provided military support to the LTTE – So I can clearly Justify the governments intention of blocking every Dick, Tom and Harry who wants to enter the areas.

     Landmines are a true story as we all know. At the time of us wasting our times here, many are blowing off disabling the innocent animals (Mainly cows & dogs) that are in the areas – This included an Elephant the day before. The journalist who was assaulted recently is from Lake House – the government news paper co. – so I am not sure whether it would be for the same reasons as you mentioned as I myself is not a fan of Government mouth pieces.

     I know, in the mind frames we are in, it could be that we all see each other as talking nonsense. However, I feel that the one who better see the picture is the one who is there than what I would hear/see from another source. Also, if you feel that people in work places can live in harmony – it's up to them to get together and spread that relationship to all parts of this tiny Island. But, from what I have heard, it's not so in many other parts of the world – Mainly in Canada !!

407. Make your choice, fellow tamilians.

     Friday, May 29, 2009 at 6:20pm

     So, I’m a Tamil.and proud of it. Proud of my culture, proud of my language, proud of the achievements of many of my fellow tamilians all over the world. Born here, right here in sunny Sri lanka. And Ive finally decided to say something. I know Im going to ruffle a lot more than a few feathers here- possibly even have a few people get themselves off my facebook friends list , but then, I’ve gotten sick and tired of all the chitter-chatter around me these past two weeks, So I shall say what I have to.

     Firstly, I know that Im just tired. Tired of the racism, tired of being generalized, labelled, looked down at, tired of the frikin war and everything that happened because of it. Im sure, as a tamil, you are too.
     Second, I’m not too jubilant and dancing on the street now that the war is over. there was too much of a price to pay to get what is today labelled as peace. and I will not dance till it really happens. we all “know” too much about the politics. So I won’t need to say much.

     But, here’s where the feathers get ruffled. Im happy too. Im happy that the war is “over”. Happy that He is dead ( oh yes, I said it). happy that maybe, just maybe, if the politicos and powers that be play thier cards right, this country- my country- can actually go somewhere. Develop. be a happy place. Maybe.
     But just when I start looking at the positive side of things, I realised that suddenly the racism has actually increased. I realised that I had to keep voicing my usually quite thoughts just so that I wont be labelled anymore. and unfortunately, my dear fellow tamilians, its because of some of you.
     I’ve been repeatedly accused of “not knowing the real story” whenever I voice my absolute disgust at the terrorist organisation that has plagued my race, and at the man some of you celebrate as a hero. and you know what? I don’t care what the “real story” is anymore. I am NOT and will NOT allow anyone to label me anymore. To the dear people who are publicly becoming “fans” of Mr.Velupillai Prabaharan, to those of you who are “fighting” for eelam because you don’t want to leave your western comforts, to those of you who say its not over till all of us are killed ( Im sorry, please speak for yourself), to those of you who still beleive the LTTE fought for your rights and nothing else, to those of you who say it is only because of HIM that we can walk the streets today because he has given us a voice ( sorry- he has only made the others so scared to approach a tamil just in case he/she blew themselves up, so he has not given us a voice, he’s just made the world frightened of tamils), to all those who after all this are still making me feel GUILTY to be a tamil, this is a plea to you to please STOP.

     STOP, and START trying to make a difference for a change. Turn your patriotic songs of praise for the LTTE into some positive songs about rebuilding our fallen nation.
     NO, Im not asking you to help the other terrorists, our dear government who are guilty of many many crimes, but Im asking you to help yourselves. If you live abroad, use your dollars and pounds to fund development for your people here, rather than contribute it towards arms to kill someone. If you live here, then try spreading some positivity rather than telling the whole world that the tamils can’t live in peace and still want a frikkin separate state.

     THIS is our country. THIS is a country that many years ago was ahead of even singapore. WHEN will we get there? When we can do things together. please knock that into your deranged brainwashed heads. PLEASE, let this , OUR country get some real happiness. Its about time.

     If you think that by saying all this I’m not a real tamil, please think again. I want our race to get somewhere, but not by trampling the others down. I know we don’t have the rights of our fellow sinhalese here, but we will never get them by killing them. ever. we have to work with them. hey, be selfish for a change and do something positive so that YOU can benefit from peace and prosperity. at least think of it that way.
     Im doing my part by helping the IDP’s in whatever way I can, but I will not let myself be labelled anymore.
     to all of you who were afraid of saying things to me, or when I was around because I am a tamil and you thought I shared the view of the “diaspora” supporters, now you know. I don’t blame you for generalising. its the fault of my people. but you know very well that its not thiers alone.
     I can’t write kavithais , but when I listen to this song, it still gives me goosebumps, still gives me tears. justchaneg a few words here and there and we can look at it as an anthem for us to get up and do something positive, make a change. Please.

409. Sri Lankan Puppets in the Hands of Emerging Superpowers
     We all wept when the Asian Tsunami took the lives of thousands
     When the Asian Tsunami struck the shores of Sri Lanka, more than thirty thousands died instantly. They stopped breathing in minutes after they were swept into the ocean. Their last chapters were very brief.
     News channels from major broadcasting networks were showing the horrors of tsunami twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. Media and Sports personalities appealed for aid. We packed gifts and took it to our churches and schools. Nations of the free world gave billions as aid to a country that still treats its Tamil minorities as second class citizens.
     But the world remained silent when thousands of women and children experienced painful slow death in the killing fields of Sri Lanka
     Another disaster struck the Tamils of Sri Lanka recently and this was a war conducted with many hidden agendas. More than fifty thousand innocent Tamil civilians were killed and thirty thousands were maimed in one of the most brutal wars in the history of the mankind. This war has cost more lives than the Asian Tsunami in this tear drop island.
     Men, women and children were forced to live inside bunkers without food and medicine for months. Innocent civilians were bombed and killed by Chinese F7s and Russian MIGs in schools, hospitals and public places. Heavy artilleries and banned weapons were used against the helpless and vulnerable.
     Many had to experience slow and painful death. Wounded civilians were bombed even when they were being treated in makeshift hospitals. Food and medicine were denied deliberately to the sick and to the needy. Women and children had to witness horrors after horrors.
     News channels in the west didn’t give much importance to this man made tsunami that was orchestrated by some world powers. Media and Sports personalities who regularly talk about poverty elimination in Asia and Africa didn’t even lift a single finger to save the innocent lives.
     Corrupt leaders in the UN failed in their duties. Instead of protecting the vulnerable, they danced to the wrong tunes that were played by the wrong people
     UN and other international organisations who are supposed to protect the vulnerable, acted like they were also part of a mysterious game that took the lives of thousands. Many had the powers to stop the destruction but they didn’t do it because they didn’t want to.
     The way how the diplomats and the leaders of some Nations spoke and acted during the war, made many to doubt that they were all acting out a script, written by some aliens from space.
     Many leaders including the UN Secretary General kept their mouths shut and spoke only a little when they had to. Vijay Nambiar, the Head of Staffs at UN and other UN representatives went to Sri Lanka few times to negotiate a ceasefire but they failed because they had their own agendas.
     They had miserably failed in their roles and had provided their full support to a regime that had committed crimes against humanity.
     Some Indian leaders who were orchestrating the war in Sri Lanka visited Colombo few times not to arrange a ceasefire, not to stop the war, not to talk about the civilian causalities but to monitor the progress of the war and to congratulate the Sri Lankan authorities.
     They always talked about receiving the head of the rebel leader on a platter and a piece of document with the proof of his death. This was to deceive the world that they were only after the rebel leader and the war was not about military strategies in the region and India having access to the oil reserves found in the Seas of Sri Lanka.
     Only person who came across as a genuine defender of human rights was Hon. David Miliband. He confronted the Sri Lankan authorities about the deaths caused by the usage of heavy and banned weapons against civilians. As usual David Miliband or anybody who talks about human rights violations in Sri Lanka are called white tigers, brown tigers or yellow tigers depending on the colour of their skin.
     War on Terror is over but the Killings haven’t stopped
     Sri Lankan authorities had declared that they had killed the rebel leader and decimated his group. According to them, terrorism has now been wiped out from Sri Lanka.
     But the ground realities are telling us a different story. War is over but the killings haven’t stopped yet. Sri Lankan government hasn’t finished with the Tamils. Every Tamil man, woman and child is considered as a suspect. Under the emergency rules, Sri Lankan forces have the right to arrest or kill anybody they consider as a suspect. Living as a Tamil in Sri Lanka is like walking on a thin rope above a deep valley that is filled with deadly snakes.
     So called war on terror and humanitarian operations are now over. But the killings are still continuing. One should now question whether the objectives of the war were genuine. No government on earth would bomb and kill fifty thousands people and make thirty thousands maimed and destroy an area twice the size of Singapore just to chop the head of just one rebel leader.
     “Killings of Tamils” started after Sri Lanka gained independence in 1948 and this will continue till the government of Sri Lanka come up with a constructive plan to address the grievances of the Tamil community in this island.
     How is the world responding to the massacre of Tamils?
     Forty seven nations came together to vote on Sri Lanka. Majority voted in favour of Sri Lanka and they all took a stand that what had been happening in Sri Lanka was an internal issue. They voted to congratulate Sri Lankan Government on its victory over the Tamil Tigers and to ignore calls for an inquiry into possible war crimes.
     United Nations Human Rights Council has now lost its credibility. This body has totally lost its purpose for which it exists.
     According to the majority who voted in favour of Sri Lanka, their message was very clear. “No matter what Sri Lanka does to the Tamils, we will stand shoulder to shoulder with the Sri Lankan government because we also have skeletons in our closets. Let them bomb and kill innocent women and children. Let them starve them to death. Let them deny medicine to the wounded. Even if they kill all the Tamils and dump them in mass graves, we will still support this terror island because we have our own interests and hidden agendas in the region”
     This is the state of the world now. Many of these countries no longer care about human rights but are only interested in satisfying their own greed.
     I often wonder if voting is a great idea in emergency situations where the majority is not at all interested in saving lives but having their focus on destructive policies in order to look after their own interests.
     If a building is on fire, it is not sensible to have voting and then decide not to go and save lives when the majority is not interested. We don’t have voting to rescue the passengers from a sinking ship. Even if we have one, the focus will not be on whether to save the people or not but on how to save the lives.
     Human Rights Council should now be discussing about helping the innocent civilians who are abused in the Nazi Style concentration camps in Sri Lanka. It is a disgrace to the whole humanity that a green light has now been given to any country that wants to wipe out its minority.
     Could we have avoided this bloodshed?
     The answer is “Yes”, but there were many beneficiaries in this war. Therefore many had decided not to stop the war but to let it to continue till the end, despite thousands of civilian causalities. Countries like India, China and Pakistan, who have traditionally not been in good terms, surprisingly became friends. They acted like vultures that came to an agreement to share a piece of meat, which they were desperately looking for.
     Everybody knew what was happening. World leaders were listening to the casualty figures as a slow cricket commentary. Some of them made statements here and there, just for the sake of making it. Nobody had the boldness to stand up and say “STOP THE KILLINGS”. They had the power but they didn’t do it.
     UN was updating its score boards with the number of deaths taking place. Even when the score went up by thousands a day, they kept quite. They didn’t open their mouths and speak about it.
     US satellites were taking pictures of the killings but no attempts were made to stop the bloodbath. Hearts of the nations became stones and the helpless perished so that the greedy could be satisfied.
     Defenders of human rights and highly paid diplomats were hearing about the horrors in Sri Lanka while having their big breakfasts. They found these stories very boring. Experts and researchers in human rights were looking forward to publish their latest journal papers instead of doing something about saving lives.
     Many western countries, although some had raised their voices, their statements were not strong enough to stop a regime that was determined to carry on with its destructive agenda.
     Relatives of those who were dying in Vanni went to the streets of great cities of the world. They knelt down and cried before the kings and queens. They protested through various means. We didn’t hear their cry but we found them very annoying because they blocked our streets. They did all that was possible to get the message across. But their cries fell on our deaf ears. If we did listen and acted, we would have saved thousands of lives.
     Our radio shows were not about the reasons for the protests but we talked about how to get these protesters out of our streets. We are now happy because there are no more Tamil protests and many of the people who they were trying to protect are now dead.
     It is very clear that this war was conducted with the full support of many countries .They could have persuaded the Sri Lankan government to stop the bloodshed especially after the rebels had announced their surrender.
     Bloodbath could have been avoided but nobody was interested because all went according to their plans. Partners of this war had started to reap their benefits even before it had come to an end.
     Who benefited from this war?
     Sri Lankan government was used as a puppet in the hands of India and China for these countries to secure their interests in the region. Everybody is happy now, apart from an innocent Tamil community that is slowly being wiped out from Sri Lanka.
     Sinhala extremists who have been killing Tamils for more than sixty years in this country have a lot to rejoice for.
     China has been fishing in the trouble spots of this world. It has once again achieved its goal by giving deadly weapons to the one it saw as the “strong man”. China has started many construction projects in the South of Sri Lanka including a port that will mainly be used by its Navy.
     India has already started to draft project plans for oil explorations in the seas of Sri Lanka and now sending its experts to start many construction projects in the North and East of the country.
     Although China and Pakistan had supplied most of the deadly weapons, they were neither involved in writing the script nor executing the script for the War.
     Sri Lankan President had recently acknowledged that he fought India’s war in Sri Lanka. One of the former Indian High Commissioners has confessed that India has blood in its hands but India doesn’t care about the plight of the Tamils in Sri Lanka.
     War in Sri Lanka was not to do with the head of the rebel leader. Making a big deal out of the body of the rebel leader and all these victory speeches were not foolish acts but they were deliberately done by parties who want to hide all the deadly snakes under their carpets.
     War Crimes in Sri Lanka
     Number of war crimes that had been committed by the Sri Lankan forces is more than what Saddam Hussein did to the Kurdish people.
     Surrendered rebels with white flags were executed and thousands of wounded civilians were killed without mercy. Serious war crimes have been committed and the culprits are not just Sri Lankan forces but some Indian security experts, Sri Lankan and Indian politicians and UN officers.
     Banned weapons (cluster and phosphorus bombs) were used against innocent men, women and children. Red Cross workers were killed. The same hospitals were repeatedly bombed. Buildings and properties were destroyed by very powerful bombs.
     Innocent civilians were forced to live inside the bunkers for months. Food and medicine were denied to them.
     Sri Lanka is still hiding the evidences
     Killing more than fifty thousands, wounding thirty thousands and forcing three hundred thousands in concentration camps will not convince anybody as a genuine humanitarian or rescue operation. These people never lived as hostages in the first place.
     Sri Lanka knows that serious war crimes had been committed and they are now working to hide their atrocities.
     Witnesses of these war crimes are mainly the people who came out of the war zone. They saw all that happened to them and to their loved ones. One of the main reasons why the Sri Lankan forces are not allowing journalists and aid workers into the IDP (Internally Displaced People) camps is because they want to hide their crimes.
     Three doctors who served the wounded people in Vanni are considered as real heroes by the international community. Instead of appreciating their efforts, Sri Lankan government has locked them up in jail in order to hide the evidences of war crimes.
     War came to an end two weeks ago but the journalists and aid workers are still not allowed to the war zone. When Sri Lanka declared that the war was over and all the civilians had been rescued, there were still thousands of wounded lying in the killing fields and many frightened civilians were hiding inside the bunkers.
     Mass graves have become an outdated technique for the Sri Lankan forces. Sri Lankan authorities are still not allowing any journalists or aid workers to the war zone. It is taking quite a long time for the military to dispose thousands of dead bodies.
     Recent announcement by the Head of Sri Lankan armed forces about how they cremated the rebel leader’s body and threw the ashes into the sea is an indication that they are using the same technique on all the dead bodies. Sri Lankan forces might probably using mobile cremation furnaces to cremate the bodies in order to wipe out evidences.
     It is obviously going to take sometime for them to finish this process considering the number of people died in the conflict. When everything is over, our BBC reporters will be taken to that area and they would tell us about a beautiful blue sky and golden flat sandy beaches in Vanni.
     War crime evidences have already been collected
     This is one of the controversial wars in the history. Although the Sri Lankan forces had barred all the reporters and journalists into the war zone, images and videos of the dying civilians were regularly sent out to individuals and organisations all over the world.
     Communication systems were functioning in Vanni till the last minute. High resolution satellite images are available to prove the use of heavy weapons against the civilians. Last moments of the war had been captured by various technical devices.
     It is a complete waste of time that Sri Lankan authorities are shutting the mouths of those in the IDP camps because many civilians who were stuck in the war zone till the last day were able to cross the waters and many had already reached the foreign shores.
     Millions of evidences are already available to prove that Sri Lankan forces had committed war crimes and those who are responsible for these crimes should be brought to justice.
     Horror camps for the Tamil civilians
     Sri Lankan forces bombed and killed more than fifty thousands. Now they have locked three hundred thousands up in Nazi style concentration camps.
     Ten to fourteen deaths are taking place daily in these notorious camps mostly among the children and elderly. Detainees are not allowed to meet their relatives and are not allowed to receive foods or cloths from their loved ones.
     Sky news had recently reported about rapes and torture taking place inside these camps. Young people are disappearing daily. Dead bodies are thrown outside these camps.
     Wounded and the sick and not given proper medical care. Sri Lankan government is still not allowing any international aid workers to these camps. Family members are purposely kept in separate camps in order to destroy the foundations of the entire Tamil race in Sri Lanka.
     Can this happen again?
     This will be repeated again in Sri Lanka or in some other parts of the world unless we bring the culprits to justice and restructure UN with the powers to deal with such wars in the future
     War in Sri Lanka was orchestrated by India. Deadly weapons were given by China and Pakistan. UN and many Western Nations knew what was happening but they remained silent.
     Are we going to allow something similar to happen in the future? Do these innocents have to die to satisfy the greed of some countries?
     UN with its corrupt staffs has failed in their duties. They deliberately remained silent and didn’t do anything constructive to stop the bloodshed although they had the ability to do so.
     Sri Lankan leaders became puppets in the hands of some of these sleeping giants. Masters of this war should be brought to justice.
     Role of UN in resolving any conflicts in the future is now in doubt. We desperately need an International body that can stand on its own and stop such crimes. There is no use in having an organisation that is completely powerless to stop the killings of the innocents.
     Sri Lanka is now on radar
     As far as Sri Lanka is concerned, Rebel leader is dead. LTTE is gone. More than fifty thousand civilians have been killed.
     If everybody is happy with what they have achieved, the question is why the killings are still taking place? Tamils are still intimidated and their properties are burned throughout the country. Tamil women on the streets are harassed by Sinhala mobs.
     This island might even witness another riot just like it experienced in the fifties, sixties, seventies and eighties.
     Those times, they sent the Tamils to the North and East. As the whole island is now filled with uniformed Sinhala men and women with arms, Tamils will have nowhere to run for their safety.
     Danger of another Tamil rebellion
     The Tamil Diaspora is not an alien to Sri Lanka. More than ninety percent of the Tamils among the Diaspora had witnessed what happened to their friends and relatives in Vanni. They saw their brothers and sisters, fathers and mothers dying helplessly. They communicated with their loved ones till the last days of the war and they all knew what was happening. Many of them have their relatives locked up in these notorious IDP camps.
     Prabhakarans are not born but they are made. He did all that he did after witnessing many horrors. He saw Tamils being burned alive in the south of Sri Lanka. He saw properties of the Tamils being destroyed by Sinhala mobs.
     If the oppression against the Tamils continues, Sri Lanka and even India might one day regret creating more Prabhakarans out of the Tamils from the Diaspora.
     Minority indigenous Tamils who live mainly in the north and east of the country are one of the most oppressed communities on this planet.
     Future of Sri Lanka completely depends on the steps taken by the Sri Lankan government. Policies based on racial and religious supremacy, attempts to continue with Sinhalasisation of the country through systematic Sinhala settlements in the Northern and Eastern provinces will escalate the conflict further and hit deadly levels.
     This may not just destabilise Sri Lanka but will even have global repercussions.
     Conclusion
     Sri Lankan President and his ministers have recently acknowledged that they fought India’s war in Sri Lanka with the help of the weapons from China and Pakistan. Half of their crimes have now been confessed verbally by the Sri Lankan authorities.
     Sri Lankan leaders have now become puppets in the hands of two emerging superpowers that are competing with each other. A conflict that was once confined within the boundaries of Sri Lanka has now become an international issue. Sri Lankan military muscles have now been artificially strengthened by their new masters. A country that once spoke to the West with a humble voice has now started to challenge many countries.
     China’s opposition in the Security Council for the Sri Lankan conflict to be discussed in the formal meetings is an obvious evidence for China’s role in Sri Lanka’s war.
     India, China and Pakistan found themselves on the same side with Sri Lanka in the United Nations Human Rights council. They all voted against war crime probes over alleged war crimes committed by Sri Lankan forces. This clearly shows that they all have blood in their hands.
     Defendants of human rights and the world powers who fought many wars to restore freedom for their own citizens have now seen the faces of the master magicians who orchestrated the war in Sri Lanka.
     Although India gave the strategic directions and China provided with the weapons for the war, it was the Sri Lankan armed forces that carried out the massacre of Tamil civilians. A country that is well known for slowly wiping out its minorities found a perfect opportunity to cause maximum damage to the innocent Tamils with the blessing of their new masters.
     Now it is time for the civilized to world to decide whether to allow the Sri Lankan government and its friends who had caused so many thousands of deaths, to run these controversial Nazi style concentration camps.
     We have all failed to save many lives in this war but it is still not too late to save the innocents that are still being abused, raped, tortured and killed in the barbed wired concentration camps.

410. @ ANKAYATPIRIYAN – Machan – Police attacks all Satyagraha’s… I got caught to one and got beaten in 87 – 89 period when I was schooling… But, now I know that it was for a useless cause that we disturbed our studies and went on strike.. We were bullied by the then JVP and I am still not a fan of the JVP for that – I still think that they are way out nuts and definitely be beaten for misleading the poor school children. I was only 15 then and was totally mislead.. actually one of the reasons that we as kids supported the strike was for the fun angle we saw in it.. but got disrupted from our studies in return.

     About SLG not listening to the Tamils – Give this government a chance – more Tamils in SL seem to be behind this government and this would be one of the very few chances you would get to win the rights for the Tamil people. The president has Tamil relations and he is quite keen to solve the issues once and for all. So get what you can from him cause he is in a giving mood – what the JHU or any body says would not matter in a few days time after he wins the upcoming elections (general and Presidential) and have his people in the Cabinet. JHU is an extremist group – However, they do not have a majority following them showing that all Sinhalese Buddhists are not for extremism.

     Trust me, not all Sinhalese are Dancing and not All Tamils are Crying… I know that All Muslims are Dancing though :D.. It’s a mixed feeling that we all have.. this is exactly where we should understand that we are one nation and we do feel for each other no matter how extreme some people might be.. President and Defense Secretary in our mind, saved the country from a Terrorist group so that all of us can live peacefully in this land.. trust me, if we had the 83 mentality, along with the win, there would have been many other killings of Tamil people in south. But not a single Singhala person or a Muslim person killed a single Tamil person or even scolded one. This means that we have moved out from that era. but, in Australia and England, Singhala people were attacked by the Tamil people – this means that it is the Tamil people who need to change their mentality towards the Singhala people – don’t U think ??

     My Sister is working for one an NGO that is operational in SL and yesterday we collected food items and clothing items to be taken to the Make Shift Camps. I my self donated Milk Powder and Soap. I did not want to give used cloths and I didn’t have time to shop for new cloths… This is how these people are taken in our hearts. The presidents Wife pledged to foster parent 300 Children without parents. They would be given to families who wish to take care of them or kept with educational institutes run by the government. This is how we treat these innocent people. The point I am trying to drive is that, we are not what you think of us to be – such people did not even exist in 83 – as you clearly said, majority are the people who helped you at your mothers funeral and less than 0.1% are the people who burnt the houses in 83. There is no chance for people like that to come in to power again.. There will be a solution that would enable that there will be no such people in power.

     I live among a load of Tamils from which most are good friends… There is no discrimination what so ever any more… I wish that you guys could come down to SL and see that to you selves.. Then you would know that the LTTE had their own agenda and mislead the whole Tamil Community to fulfill one man’s wish… Do U think that you would have lived peacefully in a country lead by someone who killed all Tamils who opposed his wishes ?? Who would cut open wombs of pregnant mothers just because they oppose his opinion? Kill religious leaders ? – I don’t think so – Prabha dying is probably a blessings you guys had – take the maximum use of it my brother !

411. If we see all comments from all people including Tamils, Singhalees, Sri Lankans (as my self) and foreign parties – we can see that we are divided in our thoughts no matter what the race or religions is. I see tamils against LTTE and Singhalees against War…

     This means that we need very good discussions happening and also a load of socializing to do with catching up on what we all have missed..

     hence, it is obvious that we all need to sit down and start discussing than throw things at each other – it would not take any body any where – provoking anyone would not help either !

     Ain’t living in peace and letting these children have a life better than a bloody war fought to satisfy the ego of an idiot ??

413. Dear Roshan
     Your milk and soap may not even last for few days. But if you ask to free those people from being caged and let them look after themselves, they will thank you forever. (that is like if you destroy the fishing net and give fish for a poor family they will eat for 1 day but if you let THEM fish, they can eat most days). Please why dont you ask your president who is in a giving mode to free those people. I expect something of this nature from a person who feels for those people.

     Please don’t say that government has to screen for LTTE remnants. There may be one or two but surely government must not fear those few as they don’t have any weapons or any leadership. And Srilankan army still have the backup of India, china and Pakistan. So why put all those people AGAINST their will.

     Thanks for the milk and soap anyway.

414. Feel for the caged !

     Appreciate the little bit I did for them than be sarcastic about it … I will not stop here either.. this is only the beginning – when my sister goes to visit them mid this month, I will send more stuff including new clothing that would may be last for more than a few days.. The idea is to be there for them which we do and you guys don’t… If you really care come down to SL and help them or at least send something to give to them.

     What made you think that they are going to be in the “Make Shift Camps” & feed them with our Tax money forever ? Why they are called MAKE SHIFT CAMPS is because it is temporary – If we send them now, the next thing you know, the Tamil population in northern Sri Lanka will be without legs – That would be because your loving leader Piribahara has planted landmines in these poor peoples gardens. U still want them to go to their houses… The SL army is sacrificing their limbs and clearing these landmines so that the people in camps could go back to their houses.

     The screening is a must – the idea behind camps is not only screening as I mentioned before. Not only India, Pakistan and China, representation from 1/4th of the world’s population voted for Sri Lanka during the last UN summit.

     Please note that the people are already free – they themselves say that – All you people who haven’t sighted this Land of Pride would not know jack about what ever is happening here apart from the lies spread by unworthy terrorists. The people were not free when they were sent as Suicide Bombers and taken in as Child soldiers even before they learned how to read and write. Check the youtube video I posted before if you really want to see the freedom you are talking about – the cyanide freedom !!

     U tell that the people are held against their will – give free food and shelter with playing areas and educational facilities instead of a cyanide capsule, I don’t think they would ask for any other freedom. Think for a minute, aren’t you guys in other countries the same ?? Staying free in another country (which is like a make shift camp for you guys), doing what you wish to do (Eat, Drink, Play, Study), and get free food (Get Asylum dole or some sort of free income to survive) ? The only thing the people in MSC do is that they don’t destroy the camps they live in. As we heard from London and Quebec, your people there are destroying these cities !! Change your mentality sooner than later and don’t get distracted by a few who have their own agendas – Sooner than later you will have to come back to Sri Lanka when those countries realize that there is no war any more… At that time, if you still have the wrong mentality, a lot more will feel sorry for you !

415. Thanks Roshan for the prompt reply. Seems like your full time job but I do appreciate your caring and concerns and a bright future.

     The landmines in people’s gardens. Very artistic. I say that because I haven’t heard about this from independent media. I would welcome any reference to this from Independent media. But again there won’t be any isn’t it because SLG would not allow them even after finishing terrorism. I wonder why??

     Roshan, don’t get me wrong, I’m against terrorism and human rights violation from any party. If the people are happy in those camps and actually enjoying all those you said in ALL the camps (not just one or two which are to showcase for the world) then why not allow free media and unrestricted access.

     Do you know why all these countries supported SL, because they supplied arms, money and intelligence and if the war crimes come to surface then they may be liable for supporting the SL. So it was in their best interest to support SL for their safety not because they are in love with SLA’s killings, abductions and ongoing rapings.

     Please, just be a human and think about it. There are plenty of ways to get money and fame.

     I just heard from BBC that a Sinhalese Journalist is badly traumatised for revealing a glimpse of truth about the SLG. Go figure the future of SL and I wonder who should feel sorry.

     Sorry da I got to go to work. I’m not one of those who live on the dole. The Tamils (and the sinhalese) have very good reputation among their peers at work and among their neighbours all over the world.

     May speak to you tomorrow if you have any sensible things to say

416. Unfortunately or fortunately I do get email alerts when you guys reply… !!

     The independent media you are talking about is now exposed (by George & Daya Masters) and we all know how Millions of Dollars were pumped in to these organizations by the LTTE to be their mouth organs !! You actually got to visit the areas and see to your selves. There are enough and more Journalists and Independent workers in these areas. Just that all are not allowed as we saw in the past where some, undercover with an NGO logo had provided military support to the LTTE – So I can clearly Justify the governments intention of blocking every Dick, Tom and Harry who wants to enter the areas.

     Landmines are a true story as we all know. At the time of us wasting our times here, many are blowing off disabling the innocent animals (Mainly cows & dogs) that are in the areas – This included an Elephant the day before. The journalist who was assaulted recently is from Lake House – the government news paper co. – so I am not sure whether it would be for the same reasons as you mentioned as I myself is not a fan of Government mouth pieces.

     I know, in the mind frames we are in, it could be that we all see each other as talking nonsense. However, I feel that the one who better see the picture is the one who is there than what I would hear/see from another source. Also, if you feel that people in work places can live in harmony – it’s up to them to get together and spread that relationship to all parts of this tiny Island. But, from what I have heard, it’s not so in many other parts of the world – Mainly in Canada !!

     Friends

     This is the Motherland of us all.
     We should live in this country as the children of one mother, as brothers and sisters.

     There can be no differences here. The war fought against the LTTE was not a war fought against the Tamil people.

     Our Heroic Troops sacrificed their lives to save the innocent Tamil people from the clutches of the LTTE. We cannot forget the great service rendered by them.

     The victory we gained defeating the LTTE, is a victory for our entire land.

     It is great victory you obtained.

     It is a victory for all who live in our country.

     My dear Heroic Troops,

     The war against the terrorists is now over.

     It is now the time to win over the hearts of the Tamil people.
     The Tamil speaking people should be protected.
     They should be able to live without fear and mistrust.

     That is today the responsibility of us all!

439. Dear Mr.Citizen Perera,Thank you for your evidence information.You told that tamils must be living under the lion flag.Just,I have to say to you,you gave the proofing evidence for tamils."Thats I say,every country have national animal,National Bird,national Tree and national flower.Those Should be in their own country.But the lion is not in Srilanka forest.This lion Symbol is property of King of Ashoka of India.Now very clearly one History is brightning.That is Sinhala Generation`s own land is Orisa of India.Tamils are ancient peoples in Srilanka.You are the generation of Wijyan.The Very Big Budhist Samaya is Situated in Bheekar of India.Two bases are very important of the identificatin for the peoples who they are from which nation.Thats know from Geographyigally and Historigally.From the reason Srilanka is Jointed with landway more than thousands years ago.After Tshunami the divided by the Water called Park strike.Geographigally the Tamils from india(South part of India) and Tamils from Srilanka( North-East part of Srilanka) living in one conneting land.So,the tamils are ancient peoples than Sinhalease.Now,I would like describe about the Tamils tiger flag.The tiger flag tamils historical flag.This is symbol of tamils.Tamil King of Chola`s flag is Tiger flag and Tiger is national animal for the Kin of Cholan.I think ,like you peoples are the chauinist Spreaders in Srilanka.

441. Mr.Roshan and others of Sinhalease friend,Here,I writing only not the comments,also the history of tamils.

     The Srilanka ruling under by Chauinism.You said,the JVP destroyed you life.But JVP violnt amd non-violnce Sathiyagraga is not same.

     The JVP violnt by weapons.non-violnce peacefully Sathiyagraga is by democracy and with soul.

     Also my opnion of the JVPs violent is unnecessary revolution.Till now I dont understand what for they did.

     From these members of Gunathasa Amarasekara and Vimal Veeravansa talking against the tamils.Two days before Vimal Veeravansa said that”anybody supporting the tamils freedom they will be funishing by armies parents or relations at Galleface.Is it correct statement?

     The tamils wiping or chauinism against tamils not from yesterday or not from ten years ago.From 1948.In 1915 riots between Sinhalease and Muslims.Late pon .Ramanathan attend the court in london for Sinhalease.But they forget all.

     Riots are took place 1956,1958.1977,1983.Those riots are not tooked place by LTTE or V.Pirabaharan.He is Small children at that time.Then who is the responsible person for thoe riots?.Who are the reasoners of those riots?

     The Jaffna library burnt by Late Mr.Sril Mathew and Late Mr.Gamini Tissanyake.There are 95.000 books are burnt.Who are they?.Are they from tamils community?.What is the reason of this babarian activity?.What is the purpose of this activity?.Have you any answer dear friends?

     You said,the JHU is extremly organisation.Who gave this motive for them.Religion servers are not allowe to participate the politic.JHU said to your peoples “this country not only for the Sinhalease,not for tamils.”The most of the sinhalease are Buddhist.Allmostly dont know the history.They are brainwashing by Buddhist monks and Mr.Smbika Ranawake and they belive.

     From the Srilanka the currently minister`s statemnts are very very dangerous.They said,if any body of who are supporting the tamils or writing for the tamils,they will be abducted and take by serious action.Now,the Sunantha Desapiriya is traitor for the SLG.The Journalist of Pothala Jeyantha abducted by white veichle and just in hospital.

     Did you see the Mr.Kothapaya interview of SBS australia.How is it?.He is responsible person But what he is?.This interview not showed his designation.This showed tamils against chauinism.Is it correct?

     I would be say to you all,from the sinhala politician statements no any chance for united SL.Very soon tamils take their rights from SLG in suitable way,called Tamileelam.They know what they want.

     The Tamils 60 years tears is for this decission.Cannot digesting the True.Bu true is,tear is tear.The true is bitter,but that is true.

     Not finishing the tamils suffering……

442. ANKAYATPIRIYAN – As per your second long statement – I have already given the answer in my previous posts above – However, every country, religion, race has extremists – Taliban is one, Shivsena of India is one, LTTE was one and the TNA is another – you get this patriotism everywhere and religion – I trust religion has caused more divide and carnage than any other matter – You see the Born Again Christians who are extremists – But, Luckily, the extremists in any part of the world are still a minority and disintegrating – So the world has hope !

     But, we (those who are not extremists) – should move forward and try to drag the extremists behind us too 🙂 ! We can be pointing fingers and questioning about the acts that the extremists have carried out, but it won't take us anywhere as it is not what the Majority wants – am I right ? I can say that the LTTE did this and that – but, it wont help any cause – we need to move forward from there – so you guys should stop saying that That extremist this this and that. – The country is moving forward from there and dragging them too – so we should join the forces where we together would eliminate the extremism.

     JVP times – School sathyagraha's were none violent – was talking of that…

443. ANKAYATPIRIYAN – You got your History Wires Crossed and tangled around your neck so bad, you cannot breath….

     You have correctly mentioned the Tiger too – Tigers are not from Sri Lanka Either – Tigers as you correctly mentioned are from India – at least there is evidence that there were Lions in Sri Lanka Sometime back because we have found Fossils of Lions in Singharaja Forest. But, not a single of a Tiger.

     To get you out from the wires you are entangled in, Lion is a symbol of the Singha Wanshaya of Wijayaba – rightly who came from India and started a civilization in a country where there were tribes. The mixing of these tribes with the people who came with King Wijaya started a new nation – Helaya !! Singhalaya – Singhala. Close meaning to “Lions Tribe/blood”. It has nothing to do with the physical animal.

     This was the beginning of Helaya – Just like the Europeans going to (more like) Australia, where they Mixed with or settled with the people who were already there and stated a new nation. I would not say America (North & South) as they forcefully took the land over from the Indians, Mayan’s, Inca’s etc.) This my friend, you should see more like the migration of the world population – from one part of the world to another – like they say that we all originated in the Africa’s and moved on to other parts of the globe throughout thousands of years. Migration still happens my friends – Like you – the Diaspora being in Europe and America – difference, it happens knowingly and so called “legally”.

     Bottom line is, Singhalaya is a nation that started with King Wijaya’s arrival and was a mix of those who migrated with him from North east Indian region and those who were here already – Like the Naga’s and Yakka’s, Wedda’s (who are still untouched and speak language close to Singhala and not Tamil – proving Singhala was here before Tamil). That’s why we still consider Ravana and Chulathissa (the king of Kelaniya if i am correct – sorry I can’t remember the exact name) as our kings prior to Wijaya’s arrival. When Lord Buddha came to Sri Lanka 2,500 years ago, prior to Wijaya, when Chulathissa was king, he turned a Buddhist from not having a religion – Even made a Pagoda where Lord Buddha rested – So Buddhism was here before king Vijaya and King Devanampiyathisssa – just that it was made official during Devanampiyathissa’s time.

     Now let’s look at the Tamils. As you rightly mentioned, Chola’s, Pandya’s Keralites did cross the Palk Straight and come to Sri Lanka many a times – mainly to attack and gain land than to do Business. So, with all due respect, there was no nation mentioned in History till recent in South India and Sri Lanka called Tamils. Studying further, it is mainly the yesteryear’s chola’s who are mainly Tamils, but also a mix of Keralites and Pandyans. The Majority, rightly is in South India – their home land from which they disseminated to Northern part of Sri Lanka as you rightly said through the Palk Straight. In addition, the English while they ruled both the countries, got down south Indian workers for labor in Tea Estates, adding more to the Tamil population. There is no scripts or evidence of these people using a tiger flag anywhere in the history of Sri Lanka, however, it could be with the Chola’s in India. Hence, it proves that the Tamils, if considering the origins would belong in South India than in Sri Lanka or Helaya of yesteryear’s.

     However, Sri Lanka has managed to fight back all attacks from South India successfully where the most recent we could consider the one which finished a few weeks ago. On all these occasions, being the compassionate kind, we have allowed the leftovers to live amongst us peacefully. King Dutugamunu, after defeating Elara, said not to kill the Tamils and to let them live in peace with us – that mentality has come down in our blood to date, which some extremist tamil groups seems to take advantage of. ideally it shouldn’t be the case and with the given opportunity, you should live peacefully in this country and accept the fact that it is a Unitary State.

     Trust I would have helped you Your article would scare Indian’s more because, you also have rightfully passed hints saying that South India belongs to tamils. Well, it is up to India to look in to that matter – but, I guess we have looked after our matters the best way we could have !!

448. LTTE left the Jaffna and went to Vanni in 1995. But after 1995, How many North and East Tamils came to Colombo and settled down?
     why they didn’t go with LTTE to Vanni?
     most of DIASPORA Tamils have houses in Colombo!!! (why not in Vanni?)
     DIASPORA Tamils have family’s living in Colombo!!!! (why not in Vanni?)
     and at the same time in Europe and elsewhere Diaspora Tamils claiming seperate Homeland?!!!!!
     When you visit Sri Lanka, you never want to go to Vanni?
     I don’t know what’s wrong with Tamils?
     If your life is in danger, how comes that Diaspora Tamils often visit Sri Lanka?

449. Dear Citizen Perera,

     You mean Sinhalease and Buddhism in Srilanka in future?.If your answer is “YES”,then I can answer for you.

450. We learnt when we hide we get assaulted, so we decided to stay together but they the terrifying men selected us by the look of our body and asked to go to the rooms for check up with them. With their gun inside our mouth they tested if our breast are bombs or if we carry guns in our vagina. Our voice were blocked inside the gun barrel stuck inside mouth. Our body become the frozen ice as blood became frozen inside our body as our eyes were looking for help. There is no rule or hands to wipe our tears of blood. We let our entire body to be frozen. There are so many tests happened to my friends and sisters like this but we keep quite and only told our mothers.
     It did not stop. We, as women carry the dirt feeling and effect with us everywhere we go. I have counseled many women who do not want to let their husbands touch their bodies. And their voice is again buried within themselves as they were afraid that they would be abandoned by their husbands and society.

There are so many tests happened to my friends and sisters like this but we keep quite and only told our mothers.
     It did not stop. We, as women carry the dirt feeling and effect with us everywhere we go. I have counseled many women who do not want to let their husbands touch their bodies. And their voice is again buried within themselves as they were afraid that they would be abandoned by their husbands and society.

453. Under Sri lanka's Propaganda, Washington Lobbyists Cash In On War in Sri Lanka, http://harpers.org/archive/2009/04/hbc-90004852, millions of dollars allocated for false propaganda, even to write the comments,…Rulers of Sri Lanka are continuing to vomit out worms of lies to justify their atrocities against innocent lives.

454. Vanni – What U have mentioned as Myths are actually not – Some are Facts and some do not exist (at least there is no such Myth and I do not know how you arrived at them)

     Bottom line – we have started a new beginning – You need to give the government a chance to see whether they are on the right track and voice your opinion – But, Eelam will never happen – now that would my friend be called a Myth 10 years down the line… !! No body will ever get it and no one could influence any to give it either… Best option – get it from Tamilnadu or live peacefully in one Sri Lanka.. !!

457. As per Perera's question – I would say – it would be "One Sri Lanka" as Perera correctly say. In this "One Sri Lanka" anyone could live in peace immaterial of the Religion or Race !!

458. Myth One: The Sri Lankan government is/was at war with the LTTE: This has been the single biggest myth about the Sri Lankan conflict in our time and used as an excuse by many outside to keep quiet about what has been happening all these years in this island country. The LTTE is/was after all a ‘terrorist’ organisation banned by the international community and so what as wrong if the Sri Lankan government went to war against them?

     The simple truth is that the Sri Lankan conflict is much older than the LTTE itself, which emerged as a force only in the early eighties. The systematic conversion of Sri Lankan Tamils into second-class citizens in their own country or state-sponsored violence against them however dates back to the time of Sri Lankan independence in the late-forties itself.

     The recent offensive in the north of Sri Lanka was just a new and more brutal phase of the war that Sri Lankan Sinhala elite have been waging for a long time against Sri Lankan Tamils and indeed all the minorities in the country. And I must add that these minorities are not just linguistic or religious ones but also political as over the decades successive Sri Lankan regimes have also killed – and continue to kill- a very large number of Sinhala people opposed to their policies.

     In their quest for power there has been no human norm left unviolated by the Sri Lankan elite, which has managed to murder over 20,000 or more of the country’s Tamil citizens in its final assault on the LTTE in May this year. If the LTTE has used terrorist methods to further its cause there is no doubt that the Sri Lankan government has used genocidal methods to put them down.

     Myth Two: The Mahinda Rajapakse government has ‘won’ the ‘civil war’ and successfully prevented the division of Sri Lanka : There is of course nothing ‘civil’ about any war but this term implies that the conflict in Sri Lanka is between two groups that belong to the same nation. Maybe this was true upon a time long ago but is certainly not the case any longer.

     How many countries around the world do you have governments bombing their own citizens using air power, mobilising tanks, heavy artillery, thousands of ground forces, sophisticated military equipment supplied by foreign governments? How many governments herd all citizens of a linguistic minority into concentration camps to be treated as terrorists simply because of their identity? And after doing all this what right do they have to call themselves ‘one nation’?

     What we are today witnessing in Sri Lanka is indeed a war between two separate nations. Whether the regime in Colombo realizes this or not by their own actions over the years they have made Tamil Eelam a reality today. The defeat of the LTTE is not the defeat of the Tamil people of Sri Lanka . Nor is it the end of their quest for dignity, against racist discrimination and the right to self-determination.

     There comes a point in every relationship when divorce becomes inevitable and the only alternative to separation is gross murder. That time has arrived in Sri Lanka today. The future of the Tamil people should be urgently decided by a internationally monitored referendum on whether or not they want to be part of a united Sri Lanka .

     Myth Three: The creation of a Tamil Eelam will damage the interests of the rest of Sri Lanka : In fact the opposite is likely to happen if Sri Lanka ‘s Tamils are given the right to self-determination and form their own country. Either they will fail miserably and clamour to become part of a future Sri Lankan federation on their own accord or succeed brilliantly and create a prosperous neighbourhood that benefits everyone. If a group of Tamil guerillas could make fighter aircraft while hiding in the forests of Vanni imagine what they can achieve in peacetime.

     At the same time the proponents of Tamil Eelam will also have to remember that independence does not mean all their problems will be solved automatically. They will have to deal with the divisions of caste, religion, class within the Tamil population and also demonstrate to the world that they treat all minorities in their midst as equal citizens unlike the Sri Lankan state they have opposed so bitterly all these years.

     Also any Tamil Eelam will geographically forever remain on the same island- after all Eelam can’t be physically carried away to Australia or Canada . In the long run the Tamil and Sinhala people, along with every other community on the island of what is currently called ‘Sri Lanka’ today will have to come to terms with each other and live in harmony – as perpetual war can only mean collective suicide.

     Myth Four: The Sri Lankan Tamils will gang up with Indian Tamils and create a ‘Greater Tamil’ nation: For all the light and sound produced in the Indian province of Tamil Nadu about the fate of their ‘Tamil brothers and sisters’ in Sri Lanka the fact remains – beyond the usual rhetoric- they have not really done much for them. Over the past twenty years there are thousands of Sri Lankan Tamil refugees languishing in Tamil Nadu without proper shelters, livelihood, education for their children or even safety from arbitrary arrest by local police. The Indian government has repeatedly turned down calls to sign international treaties on rights of refugees and the politicians of Tamil Nadu – busy bargaining for their place in the Indian cabinet- don’t care a damn.

     Similarly, soon after independence from British rule when the then Sri Lankan government, in one of its first vile acts, disenfranchised over a million Indian Tamils working in the country’s tea plantations there was not a murmur of protest from the then leaders of the Sri Lanka ‘s Tamils. They were ‘Indian Tamils’ after all and that too poor workers to boot.

     The point I am trying to make is that Sri Lankan and Indian Tamils have different histories, outlooks and priorities and cannot be simplistically conflated into one phrase ‘Tamil people’. The fact is that the problem of the Sri Lankan Tamils is not a ‘Tamil’ issue at all- it is a problem common to many linguistic, ethnic, religious and other minorities around the world. While indeed the people who are suffering today in Sri Lanka are the Tamil speaking population of that country their primary identity is that of an oppressed people fighting for their rightful place under the sun and not as Tamil speakers alone.

     In that sense what is being murdered in Sri Lanka is not just the Tamil population but the very concept of humanity itself, an issue that should agitate the entire world. To make my stand clear I would say that if the Sinhala people had been a minority in Sri Lanka and the Tamils had been the racist oppressors I would have appealed to the world to fight for the rights of the Sinhalese.

     Myth Five: Sri Lanka has a special place in world Buddhism and its territorial integrity needs to be protected by the Sinhala people: From whatever little I know, the Buddha became what he did only by giving up his entire kingdom in the search for truth and the salvation of humankind. In the process he in fact conquered the entire world. What the current day proponents of religious nationalism in Sri Lanka are promoting is a crude kind of ‘landlordism’ and certainly not ‘Buddhism’, which has nothing to do with ownership of property.

     The idea of the Sinhala elite being champions of Buddhism – a religion of compassion, peace and tolerance – is also simply laughable given their historical record of taking so many lives. Ultimately you are a Buddhist only by what you do in practice and not by wearing saffron robes, chanting a few mantras in Pali or Sanskrit or building large and expensive monuments to the Buddha.

     Two thousand years ago the great Emperor Ashoka became a Buddhist when he repented for the massacres he committed in the war on the Kingdom of Kalinga . Today the Sinahala chauvinists, many of whom claim their ancestry back to the very same Kalinga, are exiting from Buddhism through the genocide they have committed against the Tamil people. These champions of Buddhism have no doubt become its greatest destroyers.

     Myth Six: Sri Lanka is a sovereign country and outsiders should not interfere: Sri Lanka used to be a sovereign country once upon a time when they were not at war with their own people. The fact is that whenever the Sri Lankan regimes have been in deep trouble they have always violated their own sovereignty to seek help from other countries to help prop up their rule.

     In 1971 the Sirimavo Bandaranaike government sought and obtained the help of the Indian navy together with the Pakistani air force to put down the JVP rebellion- mainly consisting of Sinhala youth fighting for revolutionary change in their country. Today in their war against the Tamils the Sri Lankan regime is supported by the governments of India , Pakistan , China , Russia and Israel while the entire Lankan economy depends on regular infusions of aid and cash from the IMF, World Bank, Japan or the European Union. It is also worth mentioning that the conflict on this island over the decades has sent thousands of Tamil citizens fleeing the country into exile all over the globe. So for all the touchiness of its leaders against ‘foreign interference’ what is happening in Sri Lanka is really an international conflict and the people of the world have as much right to interfere there as their governments.

     Myth Seven: A majority of the Sinhalese people are racists and chauvinists: Sinhala chauvinism was inevitable in a country where the Sinhala population is in a majority and every politician has to stoke nationalist, ethnic or religious passions to win his/her election. So whether you were a practicing Buddhist or not or knew even how to speak Sinhala properly or really loved your motherland you had to be a ‘Sinhala Buddhist nationalist’ in order to succeed in politics.

     There is no real history of Sinhala-Tamil conflict before the formation of the Sri Lankan ‘nation’ artificially carved out of their ‘Raj’ by the hastily departing British colonialists in 1948. For most ordinary Sinhalese, like ordinary folk everywhere, the main concern is livelihood or love and the quest for a better life denied to them by their own elites.

     But so venal have been the feudal Sri Lankan families that inherited power from the British that they chose to divide and destroy their motherland rather than give up power- political, economic or social- to the ordinary men and women of their land.

     If one looks at the results of the 2005 presidential election in Sri Lanka the hawkish Mahinda Rajapakse won only by a slender margin of 50.29% of the overall votes against 48.43% for former Prime Minister Ranil Wickramasinghe, who had signed a peace deal with the LTTE in 2002. Since the Tamil population largely boycotted the election what this clearly shows that close to half the Sinhala voters preferred peace over war when they voted for Ranil.

     Today most of these Sinhala people are also being held hostage by the fascist Rajapakse regime, which has turned Sri Lankan nationalism into a family-run dictatorship guarded by guns purchased with the people’s own hard earned money. The fact that there are still enough Sri Lankan journalists and human rights activists willing to die to preserve democracy in their country is evidence that human decency is still not dead everywhere on this troubled island. The entire world should come to the support of these brave people fighting one of the most murderous regimes in recent history.

     Myth Nine – The Indian government, once supportive of the Sri Lankan Tamils, has turned against them: The truth is that the Indian government does not really care for either the Sri Lankan Tamils or the Sinhalese for that matter. Like in most countries of South Asia successive Indian regimes too have only been bothered about preserving the power of the corporate or feudal elites and care little for their ordinary citizens.

     New Delhi in that sense is not the capital of India but the seat of the Indian Empire inherited from the Mughals and the British by the ‘Brown Sahibs’ of today. And among the nefarious things these Johnnies have been up to all these years is bullying neighbouring governments and playing games with the lives of their people – especially those that don’t ‘stand up and obey’.

     So the Indian regimes in the past supported the Tamil struggle, including through military assistance and training, when they wanted to put the then Sri Lankan government in ‘its place’. Later on when their priorities changed – for various reasons chief among which was the assassination of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi- they dumped the Tamils and started cultivating the Sinhala elite.

     The lip sympathy for Tamils across the Palk Straits that still emanates now and then from New Delhi is solely because of the compulsions of electoral politics in Tamil Nadu- where politicians routinely play political football with the hopes and aspirations of the Sri Lankan Tamils. Once elections are over it is back to the usual indifference to the fate of thousands of people being pulverised by the genocidal Sri Lankan state.

     Myth Ten – Governments around the world do not care what happens to the Sri Lankan Tamils: Many of them actually they care so much that they will not do anything to help the Tamils form their own nation. For many governments – from India to Israel and China to Russia- Tamil Eelam becoming a reality would set a ‘bad example’ to their own restive minorities. Hence their all out support to the ruthless Sri Lankan government, who they believe is showing them ‘the way’ how to deal with dissent of all kinds within their borders.

     Western nations, that themselves have the blood of innocent civilians on their hands in Iraq , Afghanistan and elsewhere, also care- but only about their own global image. Making noise about upholding human rights after the genocide has been carried out allows to them to appear to be ‘civilised’ without having to take any meaningful action.

     After all it was quite clear that a colossal human tragedy was in the offing for the past three months. If the UK , EU and the US had put their combined might together to warn the Rajapakse government properly the Sri Lankan lion- for all its bravado- would have squeaked like a trapped mouse.

     The fact is that the Sri Lankan Tamils today can expect genuine support for their cause only from other people around the world facing similar racist discrimination or fighting for autonomy and self-determination. That is not such a bad thing, as looking across the globe such people probably constitute well over half the planet’s population.

     There are the Palestinians, the Tibetans, the Burmese, the Kashmiris and people of the Indian North-East, the Baluchis, the Pashtuns, the Chechens, the Basques, the Puerto Ricans, the Scots—and lots more. If Sri Lanka ‘s Tamils can join hands with all these struggles for dignity and equality it would be a good start indeed to make a fresh bid for Tamil Eelam!

461. Dear A.Priyan!
     My answer is yes. But Tamils and moslims can live in Sri Lanka as they did (do) always.

462. Under Sri lanka’s Propaganda, Washington Lobbyists Cash In On War in Sri Lanka, http://harpers.org/archive/2009/04/hbc-90004852, millions of dollars allocated for false propaganda, even to write the comments,…Rulers of Sri Lanka are continuing to vomit out worms of lies to justify their atrocities against innocent lives.

463. As per Perera’s question – I would say – it would be “One Sri Lanka” as Perera correctly say. In this “One Sri Lanka” anyone could live in peace immaterial of the Religion or Race !!

464. To Mr.Roshan and Mr.Citizen Perera,

     Your answer from Sinhala community mind.From the Srilankan Historical ,If you watched,anytime anywhere the tamils or Tamil Politicians did not or do not racically or religeon way Speak out.Please listen the sinhalease politician talking.Mr.Vimal Veeravansa no more federal terms for tamils.Therefore Your united Srilanka opinion is not possible.Three months ago Mr.Sarath Fonseka said,”Tamils are minority of here.They dont ask any right from us.If we like what for them thats we can give to them.If they want living here,they live under our ruling like slaves.In the Defence minisrry website,there display that is “you protect Dammatheepa terms,Dammatheepa protect to you”

     What is the meaning of the Dammatheepa Terms.That is,Srilanka is only for Sinhala community.For this reason how can tamils living in srilanka without fear.Anybody tamils cannot speak their own language on the walking time in Colmbo.If they speak ,somebody telephone give the message to police and police arresting the certain person.Is this freedom for tamils?

     Mr.Sarath Fonseka is not a politician or he is not a ordinary Sinhala person.He is comman person.He is for tamils and Sinhalease.He is a responsible person.Hence,he dont have any authority for this Statement. I have ask to you,who gave this authority of him?

     In this period anybody of SLG.did not ask to the Mr.Sarth Fonseka.Like this statement from european contries,like this person immediatly dimised by certain government,

     Dear friends.tonque is dangerous weapon than iron wapon.I dont blem any of sinhalease person.Only I critize the persons who are genocide metaliy which they have.

465. after i read all the comments made by Tamils, i came to a conclusion, That Tamils don't know
     what they want?
     what they speak?
     what they write?

     this is like IDIYAPA SIKKEL (Tamil)
     IDIYAPA PETELILLE (Sinhala)
     SPRINGHOPPER SIKKELS (English)
     you people don't know where to start and where to finish.

466. We Sinhalees speak in one Language and one thing and that is

     I have talk to some Poosaris and they told me; Aiyo, we are not Tamils we are Brahmins. it is sad. even your religious leaders are not Tamils.

     Diaspora Tamils shouts on Brittish streets. WHAT WE WANT? TAMIL EELAM
     but at the same time Diaspora Tamils buying houses in Colombo.

     What you say and doing is not the same. this is just a one single example.

     I can't take you (Tamils) serious, if you people could speak one thing in one voice, then i can take you people serious.

     One say WE WANT AMIL EELAM
     other one say WE DON'T WANT TAMIL EELAM
     other one say SINHALA LEADERS ARE NOT GOOD

469. NESoHR Head appeals for help to protect humanitarian workers
     Deputy Chairperson of Northeast Secretariat on Human Rights (NESoHR), K Sivapalan, in a memorandum issued Thursday, appealed to the different Governments of South East Asia including Singapore, where many Tamil humanitarian workers from the conflict zone in Vanni have sought safety, to treat these refugees compassionately, and to protect them from falling back into the vindictive hands of the Government of Sri Lanka. Sivapalan also urged the Human Rights organizations across the world to exert pressure on the SriLanka Government to release the three medical doctors from Vanni who are currently being detained and interrogated in Colombo.

     Excerpts from the memorandum follows:

     Two weeks have passed since the final onslaught took place at Mullivaikkal in Vanni where more than 20,000 were killed and more than twice the number were seriously injured. According to Government of Sri Lanka's (GOSL) own report, only a few days before that event, almost 120,000 persons left the "Safety Zone" in just two days, where for a long time GOSL, India and even UN were saying only 50,000 were 'trapped' in the area.

     Almost 300,000 are currently being held in the different internment camps.

     Women and mostly children had been killed in the most gruesome manner on, and for many days before, May 18, 2009 but it is shameful that those who talk about 'child Rights' especially 'child recruitment' at the 'drop of a hat', including UN, its Agencies, and 'Special Representatives,' had been silent for too long about the large scale killings.

     UNHCR and other humanitarian INGOs have not been permitted to see or serve those injured. In fact they were expelled from Vanni with the full knowledge of the UN and the International Community on time to be bereft of any eye witnesses to the oncoming 'genocide' of the Tamils.

     Even ICRC has not been given full access to many Internment camps.

     Hon. Chief Justice, Sarath Nandana de Silva, has lamented at the condition of the Tamil refugees at Cheddikulam Camp, and has stated that their plight will never be brought to justice.

     The GOSL spokespersons continue to state that 52 NGOs have been permitted to give humanitrarian assistance in these camps but the details of these NGOs have not been made public yet.

     13,000 persons are said to be missing from the country which is only second to Sadam's Iraq in Enforced disapperances and Involuntary removals. Extra judicial killings and torture are rampant even after the so called 'war against terror' is over.

     Mr. Bothale Jayantha, the Secretary of Working Journalists Association of Sri Lanka has been abducted and tortured by people who came in a now infamous white van in high security capital Colombo, who as usual will never be 'identified'.

     We, at the Northeast Secretariat of Human Rights (NESOHR), are deeply concerned of the welfare of the Tamils held in the internment camps, and the plight of the three Doctors, Dr.Varatharajah, Dr.Sathyamoorthy and Dr.Shanmuganathan who had continued to serve the suffering masses at great risk to themselves in great adherence to their professional oaths. Instead of being treated with dignity and honour they are said to be interrogated.

     Those who had been part of the legal system of Sri Lanka are only too familiar with the so called 'confessions' and to what purpose it has been put to use. Reputed Journalist Tissanayagam's so called 'confession' is one in point.

     We appeal to the authorities concerned and the UN to see that they are unharmed and to guarantee their safety.

     NESOHR appeals to those concerned to adhere to due process and international humanitarian law in the treatment of those who have surrendered to the government forces, be transparent in the screening process, and adhere to the UN Guiding Principles on treating Tamil civilians who fled the war and currently held in internment camps.

     Above all we appeal to the United Nations to execute its primary responsibility to look after the welfare of those held in internment camps, especially the children and the elderly. We expect the UN to exercise its humanitarian mandate to ensure that vulnerable civilans from disappearances, and the young from sexual harassment and rape, from Sri Lanka Security forces.

     To the countries of the world we appeal to respect their U.N. charter obligations.

     We appeal to the authorities concerned and the UN to see that they are unharmed and to guarantee their safety.

     NESOHR appeals to those concerned to adhere to due process and international humanitarian law in the treatment of those who have surrendered to the government forces, be transparent in the screening process, and adhere to the UN Guiding Principles on treating Tamil civilians who fled the war and currently held in internment camps.

     Above all we appeal to the United Nations to execute its primary responsibility to look after the welfare of those held in internment camps, especially the children and the elderly. We expect the UN to exercise its humanitarian mandate to ensure that vulnerable civilans from disappearances, and the young from sexual harassment and rape, from Sri Lanka Security forces.

     To the countries of the world we appeal to respect their U.N. charter obligations.

     “Let our soldiers feast on Tamil women while the Tamil men’s blood drip into the ocean and make it red”. This is what they did in the GENOCIDE ZONE/DEATH ZONE. Helpless tamils were dying on the beach. Stench of dead bodies permeate Vanni, wounded allowed to die without treatment. Their military vehicles were running over tamil children, women…

487. Vanni!
     When Sri Lankan forces start to attack LTTE in Mullaitheevu area, Why other Tamils from Jaffna,Colombo and Kandy were silenced?
     Why Tamils political leaders Anandasangari,Douglas and the rest were joining SL?
     after being with LTTE for 22years, why Karuna start to support SL Presidant?
     you must realise that we won the war with the help of KARUNA.
     Karuna a former Eelam fighter who helped SL forces by showing the hiding places of LTTE leaders.
     as a Tamilan, why Karunadidn't say a single word about Tamils?

     problem of Tamils is no UNITY. you people are byting each other like mad DOGS.
     JR Jayawardana rooted to Tamil. He is the direct blood linked with SINNATHAMBI MUTHALIYAR.
     so called NAYAKAR became NAYAKA and the inergrated to Sinhala. Bandaranayaka has Tamil blood in him.
     so, don't blame the Sinhalees. blame your self for killing your own people.
     Karuna may have some personal problem with Praba but he should not help the SL Army to destroy entire Tamil Eelam??? am i write or wronge?
     now you tell me, who kills whom?
     you people are devided in many ways.
     a. columbaan. yaalpanathaan. mattakalapaan. vadakkathayan. theevaan.
     b. vellalan.parayan.nalavan.karayaar etc
     c. hindoe.christian and muslims

     it is you people discriminating your own people. first solve these problems among your people.

     leave the inernational community. why Tamil Nadu didn't came to help you? where was Vaiko, Thirumavalavan and Karunanidi?

     Tamil Nadu polticians are JOKERS. every minute they have a nother statemant.

     let me agree with you. that Tamils must get a seperate home land. i am sure after giving Tamil Eelam you people wil kill each other.

     SRI LANKA MADE A BIG MISTAKE AND THAT IS NOT GIVING TAMIL EELAM. AND AFTER TWO YEARS OF EELAM THERE WIL BE NO TAMILS LEFT OVER. I AM SURE YOU PEOPLE WIL KILL EACH OTHER.

     ERITRIANS GOT THERE HOME LAND WITHOUT ANY HELP OF OTHER COUNTRYS. cause they fight under one Leader and they spoke in voice.

     We Sinhalees comes under one Flag and we have one voice. NO TAMIL EELAM in Sri Lanka.

     but Tamils have different voices. different Leaders.

     Vanni listen!
     I have never killed anybody and i never supported who kills human beigns.

     You must understand, there must be an end to this problem.
     a. giving Tamil Eelam (to whom?)
     b. destroy LTTE

     if LTTE knows that they can't fight against Russia,China and India, their Leaders must escape. but they didn't. or they must surrender to the third party. but they didn't and waited till last minutes.
     If LTTE knows that they can't fight back, atleast they must leave the Civilian area. as they did in Jaffna. I do understand your feelings. but there must be an end for this problems.
     I know for you people it is very hard to accept TRAITOR Karuna but for us without Karuna's advise we never won this war.
     My point is: Pls stop blaming Sinhalees for these murders.
     withuot UNITY among Tamils you people wil perished .

488. Dear Mr.Citizen perera,your argument we understand that the example of "one pearl rice for one pot rice,you are from your sinhalease mentality.Any of individual tamils argument anywhere only their ethinic struggle and HR in Srilanka.

     They are asking only from yesterday,Nearly 60 years.I dont know how old are you.Your statements experience are only from reading.Tamils statements Experience are from real life.

     Till now you do not answer ,Sarath fonseka`s statement is wrong or right.I think you agree that.

     In srilanka dont have HR,dont have journalism right,dont have neutral justism.The how can tamil politicians told independantly.Your mentioned politicians are cannot say for tamils right.They have fear,afraid,because if they said they abduted then mising,then the news comming like this"killed by Ltte.

     Mr.K.Sivapalan HR,said absolutly correct.Any of said genuine true,they got the name Ltte.The other name of the Ltte is "genuine True",the other name of "freedom is Ltte".

     You said tamils struggle is Idiyappa sikkal".This compligation created by SLG,not from Tamils.

     Commentator of Vannai mentoned statement not spoken by ordinary sinhala civiliam.This statement spokened by late President J.R.Jayawardane(Daily Telegraph,11th july 1981.

     Obviously Tamils know in Srilanka contain only Tamil genocide from everywhere and from everybody.No more Hr of tamils in Srilanka.

489. citizenperera Says, We Sinhalees speak in one Language and one thing and that is “TAMIL GENOCIDE”

490. Dear Mr.Roshan,who is the first nation in Srilanka,The answer is "Tamils are first nation in Srilanka.Please read the book of "Tamils in Srilanka",written by Dr.Murugar Gunasingam.

     Otherwise,we watched more far past.There is Ravanan History.He is the Tamil King and he ruled whole part of Srilanka.His Religion is SAIVAM and his god SHIVAN.The name of the period is Thirothayutham.He is very intellegent and he got ten powers.Thats he called by Ten heads Ravanan.

     In this period the sea way only between Rameswaram of india and Maathoddam(Mannar) of Srilanka is 500meters.

     This is the enough evidence source of you and your peoples.For this reason Tamils have fully right for separated of the Srilanka.

     Just,Rev.Ellavala Thero said Kilinochchi is Buddhist place.This is laughing matter.What is the reason for like these immediatly announcing.SLG have fear the do by fire am and do by relgion.

     The new Vikarai buildet in Mathagal,and Mrs.President and their son Namal bring the Sangamitha statue to the Mathagal.

     It is wonder,now created by anonymous history,that is Sangamitha`s reaching seasite is Mathagal.

     Tamils understand obviusly you all denite the tamils right.If not what is the reason for like this activity.All by Fire Armed,not from freely.

491. Hello Mr. A.Priyan!
     I do not say there is no discrimination against Tamils in Sri Lanka. I agree that there are discrimination against Tamils by Politcal leaders and Bhudist Monks.

     BUT TAMILS DISCRIMINATE EACH OTHER AMONG THEMSELVES THAN THE SINHALEES DO TO THEM.

     I understand you why Tamils leaders are not open their mouth for Tamils. BUT WHEN SOMESODY KILLS A SINHALEES IN JAFFNA WE SINHALEES TAKE REVENG IN COLOMBO.

     WHEN SINHALEES KILLED MUSLIMS IN MATARA MUSLIMS TAKE REVENGE IN KANDY.

     BUT WHY WHEN TAMILS KILLED IN MULLAITHEEVU TAMILS FROM TAMIL NADU DIDN'T COME OVER THE SEA AND HELP YOU.

     When US enterd ino Somalia, all the Somalians came under one leadership and fight against US.

     When Israel attack Palestinian all the Arabs and fellow Muslims come to gether to show their solidarity.

     So, If you still say, Oh! SL Army has guns and they wil shoot us and that's why we didn't come out and support our Mullaitheevu Tamils.Then i must call u CHICKEN. If all Tamils from all the parts of Sri Lanka come out, SL Army can't kill of them. there wil be a Foriegn Army in SL.
     look at Ruwanda. Hutsi and Tutsi they killed each other. There was a immediate acction. but in SL when Army attacking LTTE, you people were hiding in Wellawata Bungala's.
     atleast 98% Tamils must say yes to Tamil Eelam. but i don't think so. Diaspora Tamils still buying houses in Colombo and at the same time asking for seperate homeland. what kind of a JOKE is this?
     Diaspora Tamils are double standard. If you support LTTE, you must buy houses and propertys in Tamil area. you have to devolope Tamil (own) area. but you people buying things in Colombo and living together with Sinhalees and at the same time telling us you need a Tamil Eelam.

     Mr. A.Priyan
     yes. i agree that Mr. S.Fonseka should not speek like that. not only him. Mr.Veeravanse also spreding rasisem in SL. I do agree with you that SL Leaders misleded Tamils as Sinhalees for their own wealth. I am not writing things onbehalve of SL Presidant or SL Army. as a citizen of SL i try tye to write neutral thinks. we need peace in SL. by Killing Tamils there will be no peace in SL.
     We Tamils and Sinhalees need to talk openly. Tamils have different history books than Sinhalees. same like Isreal and Paestinians. that is also a biggest problem here in Sri Lanka. stiil we both are not finish arguing who came first to Sri Lanka. Sinhala history books and Tamil history books are telling two different stories. so, you can't blame Sinhalees for telling different story than you. but, who came to SL first is not our problem. wether Sinhalees came from LION and the rest of world from Ape is not the problem.
     A. is seperate Home Land is the only solution for Tamils?

     B. if you get Tamil Eelam, what about Colombo and Upcountry Tamils? will they join with you or we Sinhalees have to keep them?

     C. Who going to be your Political Leader? Ananda, Devananda, Karuna or Mano? and wil you accept these people as your leaders?

     D. what you going to do to your propertys that you have bought in Colombo and surrounding area? if you going to who is going to buy?

     F. What you going to do with Sinhalees and Muslims who already living in North and eastern area?

     G. LTTE is still a banned organaisation!!! so who is going represnt you people? TNA?

     H. If TNA going to represent Tamils what about all other Tamil leaders? and their supporters?

496. Hi citizenperera, see How sri lankan leaders think about Tamils in sri lanka, your thought also has same meaning in your writting
     Lt. Gen. Sarath Fonseka Sri Lankan Army Commander (2008)
     “I strongly believe that this country belongs to the Sinhalese but there are minority communities and we treat them like our people. We being the majority of the country, 75%, we will never give in and we have the right to protect this country. We are also a strong nation. They can live in this country with us. But they must not try to, under the pretext of being a minority, demand undue things”

     President: Chandrika Kumarathunga 1999
     “Tamils were not the original people of Sri Lanka”

     President: D B Wijetunge (1993)
     “Minorities are like creepers clinging to the Sinhala tree.”

     Oxford educated National Security Minister Lalith Athulathmudali 1985
     “Only way to root out terrorism was to remove the concept of ‘traditional homelands”

     Oxford educated Senior Minister Gamini Dissanayake soon after the 1983 Riots
     “Who attacked you? Sinhalese. who saved you? Sinhalese. It is that we who attacked and protected you. They are bringing an army from India. It will take 14 hours to come from India. In 14 minutes the blood of every Tamil in the country can be sacrifi ce to the land by us”

     President J.R.Jayawardene, Daily Telegraph, July 1983
     “I am not worried about the opinion of the Jaffna people.now we cannot think of them, not about their lives or their opinion.the more you put pressure in the north, the happier the Sinhala people will be here Really if I starve the Tamils out, the Sinhala people will be happy”

     Mrs. Wimala Kannangara M.P (1981)
     “If we are governing, we must govern. If we are ruling, we must rule. Do not give into the minorities”

     Ceylon’s first Prime Minister,D.S.Senanayake
     “Today you are brought here and given a plot of land. You have been uprooted from your village. You are like a piece of driftwood in the ocean; but remember that one day the whole country will look up to you. The fi nal battle for the Sinhala people will be fought on the plains of Padaviya. You are men and women who will carry this island’s destiny on your shoulders. Those who are attempting to divide this country will have to reckon with you. The country may forget you for a few years, but one day very soon they will look up to you as the last bastion of the Sinhala”
     sorted by Tamil

     Def Sec. Gotabaya’s words
     “Let our soldiers feast on Tamil women while the Tamil men’s blood drip into the ocean and make it red”.

     When Sri lanka brought down the Tamil Nation flag from its land, it came out all over the world, including many great cities of the world. Even the Tamils who opposed LTTE raised the flag, Photos. Why they did, your government doing ethnic cleaning in sri lanka. Don't use traitors to kill Tamils, Tamils are peace loving people. Tamils speaking people need a peaceful solution. Without that sri lanka will never be in peace. Millions of evidence available to prove Tamils Genocide over 60 years. This week your President's wife and son went to jaffna to chase the Tamils from mathagal area and build a Vihara. Do you think, this will build any confident on Tamils ?.

497. Mr. Vanni!
     ok, tell me what you want?
     Tamil Eelam or Living together with Sinhalees?

     If your answer is Tamil Eelam, than you have to find an answer to above qustion (7 june 2009 at 6:54 )

498. Mr. Vanni!
     It is true. Those Sinhala leaders told this and we can't take it back. Only thing that SL Presidant Rajapakse should apologise to Tamil community and try to make it good.
     Ok. let's leave those things like that. what about my qustion that i asked on 7june2009 at 6:54.

     If any Tamil can give answer to those question, i am sure that SL president wil read this matters too. and it wil help orther foriegn communitys to understand what you want? and why you want?

     if possible try to answer

     Thanks

499. Hi citizenperera, see How sri lankan leaders think about Tamils in sri lanka, your thought also has same meaning in your writting
     Lt. Gen. Sarath Fonseka Sri Lankan Army Commander (2008)
     “I strongly believe that this country belongs to the Sinhalese but there are minority communities and we treat them like our people. We being the majority of the country, 75%, we will never give in and we have the right to protect this country. We are also a strong nation. They can live in this country with us. But they must not try to, under the pretext of being a minority, demand undue things”

     President: Chandrika Kumarathunga 1999
     “Tamils were not the original people of Sri Lanka”

     President: D B Wijetunge (1993)
     “Minorities are like creepers clinging to the Sinhala tree.”

     Oxford educated National Security Minister Lalith Athulathmudali 1985
     “Only way to root out terrorism was to remove the concept of ‘traditional homelands”

     Oxford educated Senior Minister Gamini Dissanayake soon after the 1983 Riots
     “Who attacked you? Sinhalese. who saved you? Sinhalese. It is that we who attacked and protected you. They are bringing an army from India. It will take 14 hours to come from India. In 14 minutes the blood of every Tamil in the country can be sacrifi ce to the land by us”

     President J.R.Jayawardene, Daily Telegraph, July 1983
     “I am not worried about the opinion of the Jaffna people.now we cannot think of them, not about their lives or their opinion.the more you put pressure in the north, the happier the Sinhala people will be here Really if I starve the Tamils out, the Sinhala people will be happy”

     Mrs. Wimala Kannangara M.P (1981)
     “If we are governing, we must govern. If we are ruling, we must rule. Do not give into the minorities”

     Ceylon’s first Prime Minister,D.S.Senanayake
     “Today you are brought here and given a plot of land. You have been uprooted from your village. You are like a piece of driftwood in the ocean; but remember that one day the whole country will look up to you. The fi nal battle for the Sinhala people will be fought on the plains of Padaviya. You are men and women who will carry this island’s destiny on your shoulders. Those who are attempting to divide this country will have to reckon with you. The country may forget you for a few years, but one day very soon they will look up to you as the last bastion of the Sinhala”
     sorted by Tamil

     Def Sec. Gotabaya’s words
     “Let our soldiers feast on Tamil women while the Tamil men’s blood drip into the ocean and make it red”.

     When Sri lanka brought down the Tamil Nation flag from its land, it came out all over the world, including many great cities of the world. Even the Tamils who opposed LTTE raised the flag, Photos. Why they did, your government doing ethnic cleaning in sri lanka. Don’t use traitors to kill Tamils, Tamils are peace loving people. Tamils speaking people need a peaceful solution. Without that sri lanka will never be in peace. Millions of evidence available to prove Tamils Genocide over 60 years. This week your President’s wife and son went to jaffna to chase the Tamils from mathagal area and build a Vihara. Do you think, this will build any confident on Tamils ?.

     I quote you saying – """"Please read the historical books.I think after some days you are going to tell north east tamils are basically not tamils their root is sinhala generation""""

     Then we do not have an issue – this is our land – it is like it was Singhala Buddhists before the westerners came and now we also have Singhala Catholics – we live in peace – So if you say that there were Tamils before and now all are ""converted"" to Singhalees, let's both parties live together in our own land.. Why separate??

     This is Rubbish my friend – deep in your heart, you will know so – or have you been brained washed so much that you have gone to the extent of believing this crap ?? My question still is, if so, why does south India still have the largest tamil population in the world ?? I am sure you would say that it is the same people who were in South India and Sri Lanka was a part of it during Ravana's time – then, of course the next conclusion… Eelam is not only for Sri Lanka, but for south india as well ?

531. Alfonso – lovely mann – U know me – excellent, Why not meet up for a coffee – May be at Coffee beans ? let's try talk matters over a coffee – better than sitting in front of a damned computer repeating the same thing – oh – so boring.. Tell me a date and a time !!

     Dude for the last time, I do not care rats Ass for any politician or their wife or who their Kalle Purisam or Pandi Kutti or Kalada Kutti or Punda Manai is… I am only care that we all live in a single country !! If you say that we have tasted the pinch of salt, we obviously would ensure that it is only repeated for a good reason… I must confess that I don't quite understand your English at times and not sure whether I am replying to you right in that sense – I hope U understand where I come from !

     Ankatpriyan – I do not care whether ravana was Tamil or Red Indian – What i say is that it is his decedents who became Singhalees – So I wouldn't care !

     First of all I didn't mean to offend you on your lingual skills – sorry if you felt so… !
     And anyways to get things straight, my mom was never a prostitute (I know this for sure) and again sorry if your mom was so (I trust people judge others by their own experiences) cause I do not recommend that profession to any.. As for the coffee – it's on me man.. why not waste a few minutes on a good cup of coffee… OK let's make the conversation interesting – let's mime and not utter a single word !! But please do come – I will pay for the coffee… (oh, FYI, I would not care about the Chines President either)

     To be honest with you, my sexual urges are more for fair looking females.. So if at all I intend to rape anyone, it would definitely not be from the north.. (now here, I am not being racial, but purely expressing my sexual urges as you had kind of mentioned it wrongly on behalf of me) I am a fair looking dude too (FYI) !!

     You sound so angry man… Cool down !! These issues cannot be resolved by loosing temper – see what happened to Piriba Haran.. Was too angry he lost him self and in the end lost his life… But, I guess that is the fate of any Terrorist.

     I am flattered that you think I am a government intelligence agent… Wow – have I done my self that favour ?? flattered !! Anyways, I trust that Intelligence agents would have better things to do than waste time in front of the computer.. (Which I am doing for some freaking reason.. may be people like you keep me going and I am loving every moment of it !!) Well, I trust that Citizen Perera do write to this column too.. I must confess and i have mentioned before that I do not quite agree with the extremism he is preaching.. I definitely do not disrespect any person and I have a load of friends from all types where as Perera sounds that he doesn't. However, we are united in one stance, which is "NO TAMIL EELAM"… it will never ever happen again man, just forget it before the whole world starts hating you.. Don't you see what's going to happen to you guys if you don't change this attitude… ?? You guys will have no where to live as other countries will kick you out !

     Do I sound Threatening to you? Have I mentioned anywhere that I am going to Bomb you or Shoot you down ? i am not a Terrorist man.. I don't support such activities.. (But there was a group called LTTE who did so and now they are no longer there). Also FYI, Ravana was not the first king… is one of those who are know because of a written history according to a legend (Story) Ramayana – I trust you also believe in the Monkey – Hanuman.. By any chance you have any blood links to him too ? I am sure he would have had a lot of reproduction activities during his stay in Sri Lanka and the people who lived in north would have been the Victims of him and his Monkey force too… !! I am not sure about your knowledge on Singhalees ""IN"" but you definitely know them ""OUT"". I could be a Snake (Sarpam) but you are acting a Donkey (Kalada). Thamil people in Sri Lanka know what the government is try to do and you the Diaspora do not and are totally lost and fighting for a lost cause… Also, I am not writing history, but repeating history and unfortunately for you, the history is repeating it self… As mentioned in the history, as in many a times occurring in history, you have lost ! Since, we are in the 21st century and are more knowledgeable, it is high time you realize the fact and give up… Wrong never wins… this is exactly what has happened in the past, in the present and also will happen in the future… !

     What His Excellency the president meant by "there will be No more Minority" is that we will not be treating anyone as Majority and Minority in future… Everyone will be called Sri Lankan's and not Singhalees, Tamil, Muslim, Burger,Malay, Ja, Kalu, Sudu, etc… Please do try and understand it cause it is very valuable statement – for the first time in our history a head of state had made such comment – this it self is evidence that we are heading for a new future.

     Also Pleas Please Please … realize that the fire arms were used against the LTTE and not a single Tamil Civilian… as I mentioned before, I don't rule out any possibility of a civilian getting caught in the cross fire… But still, isn't it better than getting killed by your own kind ? The LTTE killed tamil people who wanted to flee the war zone… Sri Lankan Army saved them… At least we can make up our mind that a few civilians immaterial of their religion or race got killed for the benefit of millions who would live peacefully hereon in to the future.

     Also, defeating terrorist group in a war situation is not a laughing matter… That shows how strong the SL government is.. Not weak !!

     If you really want to believe that Ravana is a Tamil king – let me believe it for a moment too… If so, who was Chulanithissa who ruled from Kelaniya ? Is he tamil too? The name doesn't sound Tamil… Yet, my point is, once Wijaya came and settled down 2500 years ago with the people who were already here, he started a new Race… That's what who we all are… Helayo, Sri Lankans who would speak Singhala, Pali, Sanskrit, Tamil and now English, Arabic etc.. And those are the people whom this land will belong to… Yep ?

     I saw in some article that Eelam is a Malayalam word used by some Malayalam King who called Sri Lanka by that name at that time (the first know of use of the word in history) about 1,100 years ago… So I am not quite sure about your claim, however, I will refer this out… and I am not CID and do not rule out their activities on web…

     I just saw a comment of Karawe Alponso ………… , asking me who the hell I am to talk on behalf on Tamils – Simple answer – I talk for the Sri Lankans – the Majority, not for tamils or Singhalees or etc… I know many Jaffna Tamil people too – very polite. In fact, I went out with one such girl for a few years too.. (One from Colombo, the fairer type 😉 ) I am still friends with her… Well, any message to be given to any of your friends in Jaffna ? I am planning to visit some of my friends in 2 weeks !

584. In Ancient Sri Lanka, Paleolithic human settlements have been discovered at excavations in several cave sites in the Western Plains region and the South-western face of the Central Hills region.

     Anthropologists believe that some discovered burial rites and certain decorative artifacts exhibit similarities between the first inhabitants of the island and the early inhabitants of Southern India. However, proven WRONG, recent bioanthropological studies have however dismissed these links, and have placed the origin of the people to the northern parts of India.

     One of the first written references to the island is found in the Indian epic Ramayana, which described the emperor Ravana as monarch of the powerful kingdom of Lanka, (which was created by the divine sculptor Vishwakarma for Kubera, the treasurer of the Gods. The Kingdom of Lanka was said to be spread from eastern parts of Asia to the south east asian reagion under king Ravana. English historian James Emerson Tennent also theorized Galle, a southern city in Sri Lanka, was the ancient seaport of Tarshish from which King Solomon is said to have drawn ivory, peacocks and other valuables. The main written accounts of the country's history are the Buddhist chronicles of Mahavansa and Dipavamsa.

     Sri Lanka even had designated coins by, 1st century CE, explaining how civilized the people were and how developed the trading was.

     The earliest-known inhabitants of the island now known as Sri Lanka were probably the ancestors of the Wanniyala-Aetto people, also known as Veddahs and numbering roughly 3,000 today.

     Linguistic analysis has found a correlation of the Sinhalese language with the languages of the Sindh and Gujarat.

     From the ancient period date some remarkable archaeological sites including the ruins of Sigiriya, the so-called "Fortress in the Sky", and huge public works. The world famous "Mirror Wall" of Sigiriya contaiins poems written in ancient Singhala language and texture and is clearly visible even today after 200 years. Among the latter are large "tanks" or reservoirs, important for conserving water in a climate that alternates rainy seasons with dry times, and elaborate aqueducts, some with a slope as finely calibrated as one inch to the mile.

     Ancient Sri Lanka was also the first in the world to have established a dedicated hospital in Mihintale in the 4th century BCE. Rock writings in Singhala that are still clearly visible from this era describes how educated the ancient Singhalees were.

     Ancient Sri Lanka was also the world's leading exporter of cinnamon, which was exported to Egypt as early as 1400 BCE. Sri Lanka was also the first Asian nation to have a female ruler in Queen Anula (47–42 BC).

     Since ancient times Sri Lanka was ruled by monarchs, most notably of the Sinha royal dynasty that lasted over 2000 years.

     The island was also infrequently invaded by South Indian kingdoms and parts of the island were ruled intermittently by the Chola dynasty, the Pandya dynasty, the Chera dynasty and the Pallava dynasty.

     The island was also invaded by the kingdoms of Kalinga (modern Orissa) and those from the Malay Peninsula in 1000 AD. They named Sri lanka Eelam for their purposes.

     Buddhism arrived from India in the 3rd century BCE, brought by Bhikkhu Mahinda, who is believed to have been the son of Mauryan emperor Ashoka. Mahinda's mission won over the Sinhalese monarch Devanampiyatissa of Mihintale, who embraced the faith and propagated it throughout the Sinhalese population. The Buddhist kingdoms of Sri Lanka would maintain a large number of Buddhist schools and monasteries, and support the propagation of Buddhism into Southeast Asia.

585. Sri Lanka (from the Sanskrit “Venerable Island”), officially the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka (pronounced /ˌʃriːˈlæŋkə/, Sinhalese: known as Ceylon (/sɪˈlɒn/) before 1972 and as Taprobane (/təˈprɒbəniː/) in ancient times), is an island country in South Asia, located about 31 kilometres (19.3 mi) off the southern coast of India. It is home to around twenty million people.

     Because of its location in the path of major sea routes, Sri Lanka is a strategic naval link between West Asia and South East Asia, and has been a center of Buddhist religion and culture from ancient times. Today, the country is a multi-religious and multi-ethnic nation: more than a quarter of the population follows faiths other than Buddhism, notably Hinduism, Christianity and Islam. The Sinhalese community forms the majority of the population; Tamils, who are concentrated in the north and east of the island, form the largest ethnic minority. Other communities include Moors, Burghers, Kaffirs and the Malays.

     After over two thousand years of rule by local kingdoms, parts of Sri Lanka were colonized by Portugal and the Netherlands beginning in the 16th century, before control of the entire country was ceded to the British Empire in 1815. During World War II, Sri Lanka served as an important base for Allied forces in the fight against the Japanese Empire. A nationalist political movement arose in the country in the early 20th century with the aim of obtaining political independence, which was eventually granted by the British after PEACEFUL NEGOTIATIONS in 1948.

     Names of Sri Lanka

     In ancient times, Sri Lanka was known by a variety of names: ancient Greek geographers called it Taprobane and Arabs referred to it as Serendib (the origin of the word "serendipity"). Ceilão was the name given to Sri Lanka by the Portuguese when they arrived in 1505, which was transliterated into English as Ceylon. In 1972, the official name of the country was changed to "Free, Sovereign and Independent Republic of Sri Lanka", whereas the island itself is referred to as laṃkāva, IPA: [laŋˈkaːʋə], in Tamil – ilaṅkai, iˈlaŋɡai). In 1978 it was changed to "Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka". The current name is derived from the Sanskrit word lanka, meaning "island", which was also the name of the island as described in the ancient Indian epics Mahabharata and the Ramayana. The word "Sri" is a Sanskrit title meaning sacred. Hence, Sri Lanka – the Sacred Island.

     It is also mentioned that Sri Lanka was called Eelam by the Maga people during their invasion of northern part of Sri Lanka during king Kalinga's time. However, with Kalinga & his small kingdom being destroyed in war, this name was no longer used for any reason.

Among the latter are large “tanks” or reservoirs, important for conserving water in a climate that alternates rainy seasons with dry times, and elaborate aqueducts, some with a slope as finely calibrated as one inch to the mile.

     Ancient Sri Lanka was also the first in the world to have established a dedicated hospital in Mihintale in the 4th century BCE. Rock writings in Singhala that are still clearly visible from this era describes how educated the ancient Singhalees were.

     Ancient Sri Lanka was also the world’s leading exporter of cinnamon, which was exported to Egypt as early as 1400 BCE. Sri Lanka was also the first Asian nation to have a female ruler in Queen Anula (47–42 BC).

     Since ancient times Sri Lanka was ruled by monarchs, most notably of the Sinha royal dynasty that lasted over 2000 years.

     The island was also infrequently invaded by South Indian kingdoms and parts of the island were ruled intermittently by the Chola dynasty, the Pandya dynasty, the Chera dynasty and the Pallava dynasty.

     The island was also invaded by the kingdoms of Kalinga (modern Orissa) and those from the Malay Peninsula in 1000 AD. They named Sri lanka Eelam for their purposes.

     Buddhism arrived from India in the 3rd century BCE, brought by Bhikkhu Mahinda, who is believed to have been the son of Mauryan emperor Ashoka. Mahinda’s mission won over the Sinhalese monarch Devanampiyatissa of Mihintale, who embraced the faith and propagated it throughout the Sinhalese population. The Buddhist kingdoms of Sri Lanka would maintain a large number of Buddhist schools and monasteries, and support the propagation of Buddhism into Southeast Asia.

592. Sri Lanka (from the Sanskrit “Venerable Island”), officially the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka (pronounced /ˌʃriːˈlæŋkə/, Sinhalese: known as Ceylon (/sɪˈlɒn/) before 1972 and as Taprobane (/təˈprɒbəniː/) in ancient times), is an island country in South Asia, located about 31 kilometres (19.3 mi) off the southern coast of India. It is home to around twenty million people.

     Because of its location in the path of major sea routes, Sri Lanka is a strategic naval link between West Asia and South East Asia, and has been a center of Buddhist religion and culture from ancient times. Today, the country is a multi-religious and multi-ethnic nation: more than a quarter of the population follows faiths other than Buddhism, notably Hinduism, Christianity and Islam. The Sinhalese community forms the majority of the population; Tamils, who are concentrated in the north and east of the island, form the largest ethnic minority. Other communities include Moors, Burghers, Kaffirs and the Malays.

     After over two thousand years of rule by local kingdoms, parts of Sri Lanka were colonized by Portugal and the Netherlands beginning in the 16th century, before control of the entire country was ceded to the British Empire in 1815. During World War II, Sri Lanka served as an important base for Allied forces in the fight against the Japanese Empire. A nationalist political movement arose in the country in the early 20th century with the aim of obtaining political independence, which was eventually granted by the British after PEACEFUL NEGOTIATIONS in 1948.

     Names of Sri Lanka

     In ancient times, Sri Lanka was known by a variety of names: ancient Greek geographers called it Taprobane and Arabs referred to it as Serendib (the origin of the word “serendipity”). Ceilão was the name given to Sri Lanka by the Portuguese when they arrived in 1505, which was transliterated into English as Ceylon. In 1972, the official name of the country was changed to “Free, Sovereign and Independent Republic of Sri Lanka”, whereas the island itself is referred to as laṃkāva, IPA: [laŋˈkaːʋə], in Tamil – ilaṅkai, iˈlaŋɡai). In 1978 it was changed to “Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka”. The current name is derived from the Sanskrit word lanka, meaning “island”, which was also the name of the island as described in the ancient Indian epics Mahabharata and the Ramayana. The word “Sri” is a Sanskrit title meaning sacred. Hence, Sri Lanka – the Sacred Island.

     It is also mentioned that Sri Lanka was called Eelam by the Maga people during their invasion of northern part of Sri Lanka during king Kalinga’s time. However, with Kalinga & his small kingdom being destroyed in war, this name was no longer used for any reason.

593. Tamils been treated as 2nd class citizens in Sri Lanka.If World let go Sri Lanka like this, there wil be no Tamils in Sri Lanka in very short time.

     War crime evidences have already been collected
     This is one of the controversial wars in the history. Although the Sri Lankan forces had barred all the reporters and journalists into the war zone, images and videos of the dying civilians were regularly sent out to individuals and organisations all over the world.
     Communication systems were functioning in Vanni till the last minute. High resolution satellite images are available to prove the use of heavy weapons against the civilians. Last moments of the war had been captured by various technical devices.
     It is a complete waste of time that Sri Lankan authorities are shutting the mouths of those in the IDP camps because many civilians who were stuck in the war zone till the last day were able to cross the waters and many had already reached the foreign shores.
     Millions of evidences are already available to prove that Sri Lankan forces had committed war crimes and those who are responsible for these crimes should be brought to justice.

625. Roshan must not make fun about Tamils. Do not disturb and misdirect them. you are trying to bring all the conversation made by Tamils on a wrong track. you are free to put your comments here but do not take advantage of it.

     Tamils lost their family in Vanni and they are asking justice from the International Community. They are not complaining about Sinhalees but about Srilankan Govermant. I have been watching your comments and i noticed that you are trying to undermine them. everytime when they comment here you brings the LTTE subject and misdirect them. place your self in to a Tamilans situation. maybe you wil understand the feelings of them.

     You know very wel about the true SL history but you want to disturb them. Thats why you are writing silly things and make them angry. You acctualy provocating them. don't do that. it's shows how CUNNY and CRUEL you are.

     VANNI is from Austria. he is not deffending LTTE but the Tamils. I told once that Vanni is from Canada. but it is not this Vanni.

     TNA, UNP , NGO, Amnestey , Human Rights, International Media etc…, can't visit IDP camps in Vanni. But Roshan and his Sister visits regularly these camps. People think about this.

     Sunila Abeysekera, a human rights activist and executive director of INFORM human rights documentation center in Sri Lanka, in an interview to Real News Network in Toronto, accused the Sri Lanka Government authorities of not providing enough attention to the welfare of the nearly 300,000 people in the internment camps have come to these camps after months of deprivation, and said that the lack of proper registration procedures for the people inside the camp is providing Colombo a free hand in facilitating the Paramilitaries to take youths out of the camps in large numbers without any accountability.

648. The War Criminals http://www.thewarcriminals.org/

649. Tamils languishing in Sri Lankan Death Camps

     "The time has come for the whole Sinhala race which has existed for 2,500 years, jealously safeguarding their language and religion, to fight without giving any quarter to save their birthright. I will lead the campaign."

     Former Sri Lankan President J R Jayawardene

     "I strongly believe that this country belongs to the Sinhalese”

     General Sarath Fonseka, Commander of the Sri Lanka Army

     Knowingly or unknowingly, we have all been witnessing one of the darkest chapters in humanity, now being written by the blood of innocent civilians in a land that was once known as Pearl of the Indian Ocean. The ugliest part of this chapter is not what is happening to the innocents but the response from the civilised world that has so far failed miserably to save the lives, although it has the power to act.

     Sri Lankan authorities have recently claimed that thirty years of civil war was over and Sri Lanka had defeated Terrorism in this island.

     In reality, the so called "War on Terror" is over, deceptive Humanitarian and rescue operations are over but "War on the Innocent Minority Tamils" that started almost two thousands years ago is still continuing and it has now taken a new dangerous turn.

     Many of us studied in our history lessons about concentration camps and extermination camps that were operating in Europe during world war two. We were shocked, when we heard about how innocent Jewish people were killed by the Nazis in gas chambers.

     Some of us have even written research papers and spent years studying about these notorious Death Camps. We have the systems and procedures in place to stop something like this being repeated in the future. International Humanitarian Organisations have genocide alert mechanisms in place for rapid action.

     World leaders very often visit the Auschwitz extermination camps in Poland and make statements like "We will not allow something like this to happen in the future" or “Never again”.

     Sadly, Genocide is taking place silently in a far away land but many have so far failed to acknowledge it. We have now become a selfish generation that is good at making regret speeches and look for scapegoats once the tragedy is over, instead of doing something constructive to save lives when it is the right time to act.

     We don't even like to use the word Genocide when it is happening but we would write hundreds of books after it had happened.

     It is happening again

     While the Sinhala Buddhist extremists in Sri Lanka are celebrating their victory with flags and fire crackers, while the leaders of this country are dining in five star hotels, while the Sinhala youth in the capital city are singing and dancing in the night clubs, while the holy ones of the land are throwing flowers and perfumes at the feet of the Buddha statues, three hundred thousands Tamils are persecuted inside controversial Nazi style Barbed wired Concentration camps , that are operating just 150 miles away from the capital of Sri Lanka.
     The people in these camps once lived in their own homes. Farmers, fishermen, priests, doctors, nurses, engineers, lawyers, principals, teachers, civil officers and people from all walks life, who once lived happily, are now let to suffer in the torture chambers of Sri Lanka.

     Seeing innocents with hunger and sickness brings us back the memories of starving people in Ethiopia, but the difference in Sri Lanka is that these people are not confronted with a natural disaster. They have been forced into starvation, sickness and death deliberately so that the Sri Lankan masters can fulfil their racist agendas and hide the war crimes that were committed in the recent war against the Tamil rebels.

     Many of these people owned farms and lands, they had savings, they still have many relatives living in other parts of the country and overseas, who are willing and able to help. Sri Lankan authorities are not allowing anybody to rescue these people from these torture camps, instead they are coming up with all kind of excuses to stop any help reaching to the needy, so that they can continue with their hidden agendas.

     Deaths in Camps

     Sky news has recently reported that they saw dead bodies of the Tamils lying outside the Tents.

     On average ten to fifteen people are dying of preventable diseases and untreated wounds. Hospital mortuaries are unable to cope with the rising number of deaths.

     Many young people are taken out for questioning and some of them are killed and their bodies are thrown on the streets. People are forced to go through painful and slow death. Urgent medical treatments are either denied or delayed deliberately to cause death to the innocents.

     Many in these camps think that they would have been better off, if they were killed in Vanni by bombs. It is very heart breaking to see women, children and old people suffering from painful diseases in unhygienic conditions. They are let to die because the Sri Lankan government see this as part of their genocidal plan in this country.

     Torture, Rape and Murder

     Torture, Rape and Murder are used against the Tamils all over the country. But these incidents are now widely reported in these notorious camps. Recent visits by some international reporters confirm that many mothers cry uncontrollably because their daughters are being raped by the Sri Lankan security forces when they are taken for questioning.

     Most parents with teenagers never sleep at night because they are worried that their sons and daughters will be abducted. The names of young people are often called out and they have to go and meet the security forces. Some of them come back, others do not.

     UN has recently reported that thirteen thousands Tamils are already missing from these camps.

     Food, Water and Sanitation

     The conditions that these people live in, are much worse than some of the worst prisons in the world. Cooked food is given in some of these camps but the detainees are given only one meal a day. Men, women and children have to wait for hours in long queues under extreme temperatures, to get these packed meals that are prepared in unhygienic conditions. Some women and children faint and fall before they get their meals.

     Thousands of wounded and maimed crawl on the dirt and mud, looking for drops of water to cool their tongues.

     Drinking water is not readily available. People carry empty plastic bottles and cans and wait in long queues for hours to quench their thirsts. Water is sometime pumped from lakes and given to the detainees for consumption before purification. Many diseases in the camps are caused by unclean water. People very often die of diarrhoea and Typhoid.

     Hundreds of people wait for hours to use the toilets in the camps, and by the time they reach to the facilities, the toilets are sometime blocked. Women particularly go through immense hardships because many of them don't even have change of cloths.

     Law of the land doesn't protect them

     The former chief justice who was the highest judicial officer of the sovereign nation of Sri Lanka has recently said that the internally displaced people are outside the legal jurisdiction of Sri Lanka. Which means the laws of the land don't protect them.

     Rapes, torture, murders and all the atrocities that are taking place inside these horror camps can't be reported to the police or to anybody who is responsible for the security. These people are simply let in the hands of God because man has given up on them.

     Concentration camps and extermination camps

     Extermination camp is a type of concentration camp and this is not used to punish the criminals but to kill the occupants in a systematic way. Hitler used poison gas to kill millions of Jewish people in extermination camps.

     Sinhala Buddhist extremists who consider themselves as a pure Arian race, have been killing Tamils for a simple reason that they see Tamils as infidels and they want to establish a Sinhala Buddhist state in Sri Lanka. This is very similar to the way how Hitler killed the Jewish people because he saw them impure.

     Instead of using poison gas to kill all the Tamils in seconds, Sri Lankan government is withdrawing food, medicine and clean water and making the people to live in horrific conditions, so that the Genocide can be carried out slowly inside closed doors.

     Where did the camp people come from?

     Many of us have recently heard about the war in Sri Lanka. This war was very ugly because so many war crimes had been committed and more than fifty thousand civilians died, though the official figures keep on changing. Men, women and children were forced to live inside the bunkers for months. Food and medicine were denied to them.

     Although the Sri Lankan government claimed that they were fighting the war against the Tamil rebels, it was in fact orchestrated by India and the arms were supplied by China and Pakistan for these countries to secure their strategic interests in the region.

     Sinhala Buddhist extremists obviously have benefited a lot from this war because oppressing, persecuting and killing Tamils are always their main goals.

     This war was almost like carpet bombing the whole Belfast and killing and wounding thousands of people, starving them to death, denying food to them just to capture and kill few hundreds of IRA rebels who were begging for a ceasefire.

     Just imagine one third of the people in Belfast are dead and those who did mange to escape are now forced into concentrations camps and women and children are treated in horrific conditions. No government on this earth would do something like this unless the parties of the war have other hidden motives.

     But, this is what exactly happened in Sri Lanka. An area twice the size of Singapore was carpet bombed for months and thousands of civilians were killed in one of the dirtiest wars in the history.

     Those who did manage to survive the war have now been sent to these controversial camps.

     How do the Sri Lankan authorities justify these camps?

     Sri Lankan government claims that it needs more time to weed out Terrorists from the people. They are even talking about keeping Tamils for more than three years in these death camps.

     They also argue that they need more time to clear land mines from the areas where the war was fought.

     Justifications for the existence of these camps are not valid

     Rebels, who were able to escape the war zone, have now surrendered to the government forces. They have also openly declared that they are willing to join mainstream politics. But the government has rejected their offer and refusing to give them amnesty.

     Tamil rebels were running a civil administration in their de facto state. Most of these people lived and worked with the rebels therefore weeding out rebels and their sympathisers from the people doesn't make any sense, because every single soul in this community would have had some contacts with the rebels.

     If they are only after the rebels, why is that mothers, children and old people are forced to live in such horrific conditions. Many of them have relatives living in other parts of the country who are willing to accommodate them. But the Sri Lankan government is not letting anybody to go but expect pregnant mothers, babies and old people suffer inside these horror camps.

     Though the government claims that the entire Vanni area is full of land mines, reliable sources indicate that most of the areas are safe for the civilians. This again shows that the Sri Lankan government is deliberately keeping the people inside these torture camps.

     These camps violate basic human rights

     As the former chief justice of Sri Lanka has indicated, the people in these notorious camps are not protected by the laws of the land. This gives total freedom for the criminals to commit crimes without being get caught.

     People are locked up in horrific conditions against their will. Hundreds and hundreds of human rights violations are taking place and these camps are completely illegal according to international laws.

     Sri Lanka is not at all interested in the welfare of the Tamils

     Sri Lankan government’s actions in the recent weeks clearly indicate that they have many hidden agendas and they are not at all interested in looking after the welfare of the Tamil detainees.

     Many international aid agencies are still waiting for permission from the authorities to go and help the people in the camps. Relatives and friends who live in other parts of the country are willing to take care of their loved ones who are illegally locked up and persecuted. Many Tamils who live overseas, are capable and willing to provide for their loved ones. But Sri Lankan authorities are not letting anybody to feed these innocent people.

     Most shockingly, a Ship that went to Sri Lanka with 800 metric tons of food, cloths and medicines has now been turned back. These were donated by the Diaspora Tamils.

     Western leaders who are very keen on dealing with the humanitarian crisis in Sri Lanka are either denied visas to Sri Lanka or deported back from the Colombo airport. Sri Lanka has recently denied entry to Bob Rae, a prominent Canadian politician outspoken in his criticism of Colombo’s military campaign against the Tamil rebels. They also denied entry to the Swedish foreign minister who had planned to take part in a EU humanitarian mission to the country.

     Sri Lankan authorities are deliberately letting the Tamils to die without enough food and medicine. They are not interested in receiving help either from international aid agencies or the Tamil Diaspora

     What are their hidden agendas?

     These controversial camps are wrong because the Sri Lankan government has many hidden agendas. They want to hide their crimes and also they want to continue implementing their genocidal plans.

     I have heard stories that murderers sometime try their best to prevent people from getting into the crime scenes. There are also situations that a murderer deliberately wound someone and deny any medical help for the victim. He would call the ambulance when it is too late to save the dying.

     All these people who are now locked up in these camps had witnessed many war crimes. The saw cluster bombs and phosphorous bombs falling on civilians. Almost all of them lived inside the bunkers in order to protect themselves from bombs and shells.

     They saw their loved ones dying when the hospitals and schools were bombed. Some of them had even witnessed, surrendered rebels with white flags, being shot and killed by the Sri Lankan armed forces.

     They are now witnessing killings, rape and torture in the hands of the security forces in these notorious camps. Sri Lankan authorities are preventing aid workers and journalists to the camps so that they can silence the witnesses of the war and the world wouldn't know what had happened in the killing fields.

     The rate at which Tamils are disappearing and dying in these camps, half the population would be wiped out in three years time. The rest will be made mental and it would be a perfect opportunity for the Sri Lankan government to colonise two Tamil districts with Sinhala Buddhist settlers. This has always been the agenda of the Sinhala governments.

     Few years ago, one of the politicians from an extremist party in the south of Sri Lanka suggested to the government that carpet bombing the Tamil cities and killing half the Tamils in the country would be one of the ways to suppress the Tamil rebellion.

     Tamils getting killed in Sri Lanka pleases the Sinhala Buddhist extremists. If they had any care for the thousands of civilians killed in the war and the ones dying in the extermination camps, they wouldn't have celebrated their war victory against the rebels with sweets and chocolates.

     Why do the Sinhalesse hate the Tamils so much?

     Sinhalese hate the Tamils because they are taught to hate the Tamils. They are taught in the schools and they are taught in the Buddhist temples. When the children are born to different races in Sri Lanka they are born pure and innocent.

     As they grow, they start to look into the eyes of their mothers and rest in the arms of their fathers and they feel secure and confident no matter whether they were born to Sinhala, Tamil, Muslim or Burgher parents.

     When they get into the schools, they are taught that the land belongs only to the Sinhala Buddhists and the rest were invaders and aliens.

     If my parents had taught me that my next door neighbour was born to a monkey and he was an invader in our family land, I would have grown up hating this poor neighbour. Thankfully my parents never did that.

     Buddhist Sinhala extremists in Sri Lanka are very much like the Nazi regime that preached hatred against the Jewish people, and the rulers of Sri Lanka are like reincarnations of Hitler because they are doing exactly what Hitler did sixty five years ago.

     Are all the Sinhalease racists?

     Not all the Germans were Nazis. Few leaders with sick heads can destroy a whole country or even start a world war. Hitler was a perfect example for it.

     There are many Sinhala politicians, academics, lawyers, human rights activists, professionals and people from all walks of life, understand that Tamils are oppressed because of ignorance, foolishness, hatred and greed of some Nazi style leaders who are not only wiping out Tamils but are destroying the whole country.

     Many Sinhala people are supporting the Tamils in their struggle against oppression.

     Why do they persecute the Tamils in Sri Lanka?

     Persecution of Tamils in Sri Lanka is more to do with an attempt by the Sinhala Buddhists leaders to fulfil the myths and fantasies written in an ancient book called Mahavamsa.

     Mahavamsa was originally written in Pali language because the Sinhala language was not well developed at that time.

     Mahavamsa is considered as a kind of bible by the Sinhala Buddhists in Sri Lanka. Although this book has historical records, there are many fabricated stories, myths and fantasies that make this book completely unreliable.

     It talks about a pure Sinhala race that descended from a lion which is obviously a four leg animal. No wonder why the minorities find the Sri Lankan lion flag very offensive.

     In recent days, great importance is given for flying the Sri Lankan lion flags in Tamil concentration camps , than feeding the hungry or treating the wounded. Even the Nazi regime in Germany was very serious about displaying swastika flags in the Jewish concentration camps.

     Mahavamsa also preaches hatred against the minority Tamils.

     Sinhala Buddhist politicians and military leaders of Sri lanka believe every word in this book and they are on a mission to fulfil the desires of the kings and queens that are portrayed in this book.

     This is a sample text from Mahavamsa which was written in the 6th Century. This verse talks about a desire of a Sinhala queen who wanted drink water, mixed with the blood of a Tamil warrior.

     “Then she longed to drink the water that had served to cleanse the sword with which the head of the first warrior among Tamil king Elära's warriors had been struck off, and she longed to drink it standing on this very head, and moreover she longed to adorn herself with garlands of unfaded lotus-blossoms brought from the lotus marshes of Anuradhapura”

     No wonder why the extremists act like the way they act, when they meditate such verses. Words of many racist politicians and military leaders in Sri Lanka are spoken straight out this book. Even some of the well known former presidents of Sri Lanka are not the exceptions.

     They want to make Sri Lanka as a Sinhala Buddhist nation by wiping out the minority Tamils.

     Who are the original inhabitants of Sri Lanka?

     We have been very successful in building multi ethnic and multi religious communities with every colour race and religion who are enjoying equal rights in many countries. Therefore it is completely inappropriate to argue who own the lands and who were the original inhabitants.

     Tamils and Sinhalease both have been there for more than two thousands years. They lived in two separate nations until they were brought together by the British during the 18th century.

     But it is important to look at some historic facts about Sri Lanka so that we know it is wrong for the Sri Lankan authorities to claim Sri lanka as a Sinhala Buddhist country by suppressing the Tamil minorities who are indeed the original inhabitants of this Nation.

     Firstly, there were no Buddhists in Sri Lanka before 200 BC because Buddhism was brought to Sri Lanka in 200 BC. There was no Sinhala language before 300 BC ,because Sinhala language was given birth at that time. Sinhala has around four thousands loan words from Tamil language, although this language originated from Brahmi script and have features of Bengali, Pali and Sanskrit. It is quite obvious that Sinhala was developed by people from different races including the Tamils.

     Logically speaking, there was no such community called “Sinhala Buddhists” in Sri Lanka before 200BC. But there were Tamils in Sri Lanka before there were Sinhala Buddhists.

     However, Many Sinhalese have Dravidian and Aboriginal features and these people are either the inhabitants of the country who were speaking Tamil or aboriginal languages or people migrated from the South Indian states.

     Some of the Sinhalese have ancestors from Bengal, Orissa and other North Indian states.Those Sinhalese with the fair complexion either have north Indian roots or they have European ancestors.

     Tamils in Sri Lanka can be grouped into three groups. Majority of them are the original inhabitants and some came to this country during the Chola invasions from India and the ones who work in the tea estates were brought in the 18th century.

     Sri Lanka was connected to India by a land mass before they were separated by water. It is highly likely that Dravidian Tamils and Aboriginal community lived in Sri Lanka for many thousands years.

     In summary Tamils, Sinhalease and Muslims who have Aboriginal and Dravidian roots are the original inhabitants of Sri Lanka. So this claim of making Sri Lanka as a Sinhala Buddhist country by suppressing the minorities is completely illogical, because Sinhala language and the Buddhist religion are relatively new to this country that has many thousands of years of history.

     Sri Lanka has the responsibility to protect all its citizens no matter whether they are Sinhalease, Tamils, Muslims, Moors or Burghers. When they discriminate against a race and carrying out genocide they are not just failing from their duties but they are losing their right to govern.

     Oppressing the minorities to fulfil the myths and fantasies in a book that was written by a poet is a complete madness and those leaders who are trying to do this should be seen as the Hitlers of Sri Lanka.

     Buddhist Sinhala leaders are now busy performing their rituals while Tamils are dying in the concentration camps

     While the Tamils are persecuted all over the country, while they are being tortured in these controversial camps, the President and his family are busy performing Buddhist rituals and carrying statues through out the country.

     Recently, the Presidents wife and his son made a secret visit to the north of the country to perform a buddhist ritual in the Tamil city of Jaffna.

     The President has also recently announced that he was going to build nine giant Buddha statues in nine districts of the country including all the Tamil districts where people don’t practice Buddhism as their religion.

     Millions are going to be spent on building statues in places where thousands of Tamils have recently perished in a dirty war. Instead of giving priority to help the victims, ignorant leaders are acting irresponsibly.

     Sri Lankan government has also started to implement Sinhala colonisations in Tamil areas. They are also changing names of streets and places from Tamil to Sinhala

     All the indications of a systematic genocide of a race is clearly seen in Sri Lanka. Tamils are dying in the hands of a Sinhala regime because of the ignorance and stupidity of the Sinhala Buddhist leaders.

     What is the response from the International Community?

     Many foreign diplomats still haven't understood the deeper issues. Some of them are even congratulating the Sri Lankan government just like someone who congratulate a bogus doctor who claims that he had healed Tyfoid with paracetamol tablets. Fever may be gone temporarily for few hours but the root disease is still there.

     Sadly, many haven’t grasped the fact that Sri Lankan leaders are deceiving the whole international community with lies and deceptions and this has been going on for years.

     Sri Lankan government very often take foreign diplomats to some of these refugee camps that are well maintained for propaganda purposes. They see such camps and give reports to the media that they are happy with the facilities available in these camps.

     In terms of statistics, such propaganda camps are not the right samples and they don’t represent the population.

     Human rights research groups and many independent organisations have confirmed war crimes and abuses in Sri Lanka in a massive scale and it is important that the world should be looking at the Sri Lankan leaders as suspected criminals and murderers.

     It doesn't make any sense if the world leaders shake hands with the killers and make joint statements about the defeat of terrorism in Sri Lanka while the Sri Lankan State is still terrorising and abusing its minorities.

     If the world leaders understood, how much the Tamils are going through, in the hands of a Nazi style regime in Sri Lanka, they would have done something to save the Tamils from these notorious camps.

     International think tanks , diplomats and global strategists should understand the deeper issues in Sri Lanka before jumping into conclusions.

     Indian prime minister Manmohan Singh has recently acknowledged that Sri Lankan problem is bigger than LTTE. It is not that he has discovered something new but it is India's another attempt to deceive the international community that they have a better understanding of Sri Lankan issues than other countries.

     Anyhow he was right that Sri Lanka has very deeper issues and the most obvious problem is that the Sinhala Buddhist leaders are trying to establish a Sinhala Buddhist Sri Lanka by wiping out the Tamil minorities.

     Sri Lankan ethnic conflict can be grouped into four areas. These are, enmity between two races that existed for almost two thousands of years, State terrorism against Tamils for the last 60 years, Tamil armed rebellion against State oppression for 30 years and finally the competition mainly between India and China in the Indian ocean

     India and China have acted as opportunists in Sri Lanka. They got into the scene and provided help to the party they saw as strong and they have now secured their interests in Sri Lanka.

     What we have recently seen in Sri Lanka is that the armed rebellion of the Tamils has now been crushed by the Sri Lankan government with the help of China and India who obviously have their own strategic interests in the Indian Ocean.

     International leaders should first understand that the armed Tamil rebellion from the Tamils was just a response to the State terrorism in this country and crushing this rebellion is just like dealing with a symptom instead of the root cause.

     Even after defeating the LTTE, The way how the Tamils are treated in the barbed wired concentration camps, clearly indicates that the problems in Sri Lanka are more to do with the hatred towards the Tamils and an organised State terrorism.

     Why do we have to intervene and save Tamils from Sri Lankan death camps?

     We have all heard about a man called Josef Fritzl who kept his daughter in the dungeon for 24 years. He fed her and gave all that she needed but he abused her day and night. He was found guilty and was sent to jail.

     When we find out that someone is abusing a victim, we will do something to stop the abuse and bring the culprit to justice. We don’t just stand and clap our hands or make joint statements with the killer.

     Sri Lankan leaders are acting exactly like this evil father. Tamils in Sri Lanka are abducted, abused, tortured, raped and killed everyday and the world has all the evidences.

     We live in a global village. We hold our hands and sing our Olympic songs together. We have become very generous and righteous. We climb mountains and run races to save the children in Africa.

     We have the technologies to see what is happening in every little tiny spots on this planet. A surgeon in California can operate a child in India by manipulating a robot arm through the web interface.

     We are the defenders of human rights. We talk about it in our dinner parties. We have huge departments in universities to do research on human rights and war crimes.

     We enjoy each other and we need each other. We eat mangoes from India, oranges from Israel and Kiwis from New Zealand.

     Here is the challenge for the civilised world. Three hundred thousands innocent civilians are persecuted in Barbed wired concentration camps for a simple reason that the rulers of this country consider them as infidels just like how Hitler treated the Jewish people.

     When the West fought with the Nazi regime in Germany, We didn't just fight with flesh and blood but we also fought with the evil that was in the hearts and minds of the Nazis. What is destroying Sri Lanka is not the Sinhalease, not the Tamils, not even the Sri Lankan military but the evil that rules the hearts and minds of the racist political and religious leaders who are foolish, arrogant and greedy.

     Tamils are now dying in Nazi style death camps. The law of the land is not protecting them. A systematic genocide is being committed against this oppressed community.

     We have already failed to save thousands of Tamils from indiscriminate bombings in the killing fields of Sri Lanka.

     If ,what we believe and what we profess in the lands of freedom are true,we would do something to save the dying Tamils from the Death Camps of Sri Lanka.

652. Tamils languishing in Sri Lankan Death Camps

     “The time has come for the whole Sinhala race which has existed for 2,500 years, jealously safeguarding their language and religion, to fight without giving any quarter to save their birthright. I will lead the campaign.”

     Former Sri Lankan President J R Jayawardene

     “I strongly believe that this country belongs to the Sinhalese”

     General Sarath Fonseka, Commander of the Sri Lanka Army

     Knowingly or unknowingly, we have all been witnessing one of the darkest chapters in humanity, now being written by the blood of innocent civilians in a land that was once known as Pearl of the Indian Ocean. The ugliest part of this chapter is not what is happening to the innocents but the response from the civilised world that has so far failed miserably to save the lives, although it has the power to act.

     Sri Lankan authorities have recently claimed that thirty years of civil war was over and Sri Lanka had defeated Terrorism in this island.

     In reality, the so called “War on Terror” is over, deceptive Humanitarian and rescue operations are over but “War on the Innocent Minority Tamils” that started almost two thousands years ago is still continuing and it has now taken a new dangerous turn.

     Many of us studied in our history lessons about concentration camps and extermination camps that were operating in Europe during world war two. We were shocked, when we heard about how innocent Jewish people were killed by the Nazis in gas chambers.

     Some of us have even written research papers and spent years studying about these notorious Death Camps. We have the systems and procedures in place to stop something like this being repeated in the future. International Humanitarian Organisations have genocide alert mechanisms in place for rapid action.

     World leaders very often visit the Auschwitz extermination camps in Poland and make statements like “We will not allow something like this to happen in the future” or “Never again”.

     Sadly, Genocide is taking place silently in a far away land but many have so far failed to acknowledge it. We have now become a selfish generation that is good at making regret speeches and look for scapegoats once the tragedy is over, instead of doing something constructive to save lives when it is the right time to act.

     We don’t even like to use the word Genocide when it is happening but we would write hundreds of books after it had happened.

     It is happening again

     While the Sinhala Buddhist extremists in Sri Lanka are celebrating their victory with flags and fire crackers, while the leaders of this country are dining in five star hotels, while the Sinhala youth in the capital city are singing and dancing in the night clubs, while the holy ones of the land are throwing flowers and perfumes at the feet of the Buddha statues, three hundred thousands Tamils are persecuted inside controversial Nazi style Barbed wired Concentration camps , that are operating just 150 miles away from the capital of Sri Lanka.
     The people in these camps once lived in their own homes. Farmers, fishermen, priests, doctors, nurses, engineers, lawyers, principals, teachers, civil officers and people from all walks life, who once lived happily, are now let to suffer in the torture chambers of Sri Lanka.

     Seeing innocents with hunger and sickness brings us back the memories of starving people in Ethiopia, but the difference in Sri Lanka is that these people are not confronted with a natural disaster. They have been forced into starvation, sickness and death deliberately so that the Sri Lankan masters can fulfil their racist agendas and hide the war crimes that were committed in the recent war against the Tamil rebels.

     Many of these people owned farms and lands, they had savings, they still have many relatives living in other parts of the country and overseas, who are willing and able to help. Sri Lankan authorities are not allowing anybody to rescue these people from these torture camps, instead they are coming up with all kind of excuses to stop any help reaching to the needy, so that they can continue with their hidden agendas.

     Deaths in Camps

     Sky news has recently reported that they saw dead bodies of the Tamils lying outside the Tents.

     On average ten to fifteen people are dying of preventable diseases and untreated wounds. Hospital mortuaries are unable to cope with the rising number of deaths.

     Many young people are taken out for questioning and some of them are killed and their bodies are thrown on the streets. People are forced to go through painful and slow death. Urgent medical treatments are either denied or delayed deliberately to cause death to the innocents.

     Many in these camps think that they would have been better off, if they were killed in Vanni by bombs. It is very heart breaking to see women, children and old people suffering from painful diseases in unhygienic conditions. They are let to die because the Sri Lankan government see this as part of their genocidal plan in this country.

     Torture, Rape and Murder

     Torture, Rape and Murder are used against the Tamils all over the country. But these incidents are now widely reported in these notorious camps. Recent visits by some international reporters confirm that many mothers cry uncontrollably because their daughters are being raped by the Sri Lankan security forces when they are taken for questioning.

     Most parents with teenagers never sleep at night because they are worried that their sons and daughters will be abducted. The names of young people are often called out and they have to go and meet the security forces. Some of them come back, others do not.

     UN has recently reported that thirteen thousands Tamils are already missing from these camps.

     Food, Water and Sanitation

     The conditions that these people live in, are much worse than some of the worst prisons in the world. Cooked food is given in some of these camps but the detainees are given only one meal a day. Men, women and children have to wait for hours in long queues under extreme temperatures, to get these packed meals that are prepared in unhygienic conditions. Some women and children faint and fall before they get their meals.

     Thousands of wounded and maimed crawl on the dirt and mud, looking for drops of water to cool their tongues.

     Drinking water is not readily available. People carry empty plastic bottles and cans and wait in long queues for hours to quench their thirsts. Water is sometime pumped from lakes and given to the detainees for consumption before purification. Many diseases in the camps are caused by unclean water. People very often die of diarrhoea and Typhoid.

     Hundreds of people wait for hours to use the toilets in the camps, and by the time they reach to the facilities, the toilets are sometime blocked. Women particularly go through immense hardships because many of them don’t even have change of cloths.

     Law of the land doesn’t protect them

     The former chief justice who was the highest judicial officer of the sovereign nation of Sri Lanka has recently said that the internally displaced people are outside the legal jurisdiction of Sri Lanka. Which means the laws of the land don’t protect them.

     Rapes, torture, murders and all the atrocities that are taking place inside these horror camps can’t be reported to the police or to anybody who is responsible for the security. These people are simply let in the hands of God because man has given up on them.

     Concentration camps and extermination camps

     Extermination camp is a type of concentration camp and this is not used to punish the criminals but to kill the occupants in a systematic way. Hitler used poison gas to kill millions of Jewish people in extermination camps.

     Sinhala Buddhist extremists who consider themselves as a pure Arian race, have been killing Tamils for a simple reason that they see Tamils as infidels and they want to establish a Sinhala Buddhist state in Sri Lanka. This is very similar to the way how Hitler killed the Jewish people because he saw them impure.

     Instead of using poison gas to kill all the Tamils in seconds, Sri Lankan government is withdrawing food, medicine and clean water and making the people to live in horrific conditions, so that the Genocide can be carried out slowly inside closed doors.

     Where did the camp people come from?

     Many of us have recently heard about the war in Sri Lanka. This war was very ugly because so many war crimes had been committed and more than fifty thousand civilians died, though the official figures keep on changing. Men, women and children were forced to live inside the bunkers for months. Food and medicine were denied to them.

     Although the Sri Lankan government claimed that they were fighting the war against the Tamil rebels, it was in fact orchestrated by India and the arms were supplied by China and Pakistan for these countries to secure their strategic interests in the region.

     Sinhala Buddhist extremists obviously have benefited a lot from this war because oppressing, persecuting and killing Tamils are always their main goals.

     This war was almost like carpet bombing the whole Belfast and killing and wounding thousands of people, starving them to death, denying food to them just to capture and kill few hundreds of IRA rebels who were begging for a ceasefire.

     Just imagine one third of the people in Belfast are dead and those who did mange to escape are now forced into concentrations camps and women and children are treated in horrific conditions. No government on this earth would do something like this unless the parties of the war have other hidden motives.

     But, this is what exactly happened in Sri Lanka. An area twice the size of Singapore was carpet bombed for months and thousands of civilians were killed in one of the dirtiest wars in the history.

     Those who did manage to survive the war have now been sent to these controversial camps.

     How do the Sri Lankan authorities justify these camps?

     Sri Lankan government claims that it needs more time to weed out Terrorists from the people. They are even talking about keeping Tamils for more than three years in these death camps.

     They also argue that they need more time to clear land mines from the areas where the war was fought.

     Justifications for the existence of these camps are not valid

     Rebels, who were able to escape the war zone, have now surrendered to the government forces. They have also openly declared that they are willing to join mainstream politics. But the government has rejected their offer and refusing to give them amnesty.

     Tamil rebels were running a civil administration in their de facto state. Most of these people lived and worked with the rebels therefore weeding out rebels and their sympathisers from the people doesn’t make any sense, because every single soul in this community would have had some contacts with the rebels.

     If they are only after the rebels, why is that mothers, children and old people are forced to live in such horrific conditions. Many of them have relatives living in other parts of the country who are willing to accommodate them. But the Sri Lankan government is not letting anybody to go but expect pregnant mothers, babies and old people suffer inside these horror camps.

     Though the government claims that the entire Vanni area is full of land mines, reliable sources indicate that most of the areas are safe for the civilians. This again shows that the Sri Lankan government is deliberately keeping the people inside these torture camps.

     These camps violate basic human rights

     As the former chief justice of Sri Lanka has indicated, the people in these notorious camps are not protected by the laws of the land. This gives total freedom for the criminals to commit crimes without being get caught.

     People are locked up in horrific conditions against their will. Hundreds and hundreds of human rights violations are taking place and these camps are completely illegal according to international laws.

     Sri Lanka is not at all interested in the welfare of the Tamils

     Sri Lankan government’s actions in the recent weeks clearly indicate that they have many hidden agendas and they are not at all interested in looking after the welfare of the Tamil detainees.

     Many international aid agencies are still waiting for permission from the authorities to go and help the people in the camps. Relatives and friends who live in other parts of the country are willing to take care of their loved ones who are illegally locked up and persecuted. Many Tamils who live overseas, are capable and willing to provide for their loved ones. But Sri Lankan authorities are not letting anybody to feed these innocent people.

     Most shockingly, a Ship that went to Sri Lanka with 800 metric tons of food, cloths and medicines has now been turned back. These were donated by the Diaspora Tamils.

     Western leaders who are very keen on dealing with the humanitarian crisis in Sri Lanka are either denied visas to Sri Lanka or deported back from the Colombo airport. Sri Lanka has recently denied entry to Bob Rae, a prominent Canadian politician outspoken in his criticism of Colombo’s military campaign against the Tamil rebels. They also denied entry to the Swedish foreign minister who had planned to take part in a EU humanitarian mission to the country.

     Sri Lankan authorities are deliberately letting the Tamils to die without enough food and medicine. They are not interested in receiving help either from international aid agencies or the Tamil Diaspora

     What are their hidden agendas?

     These controversial camps are wrong because the Sri Lankan government has many hidden agendas. They want to hide their crimes and also they want to continue implementing their genocidal plans.

     I have heard stories that murderers sometime try their best to prevent people from getting into the crime scenes. There are also situations that a murderer deliberately wound someone and deny any medical help for the victim. He would call the ambulance when it is too late to save the dying.

     All these people who are now locked up in these camps had witnessed many war crimes. The saw cluster bombs and phosphorous bombs falling on civilians. Almost all of them lived inside the bunkers in order to protect themselves from bombs and shells.

     They saw their loved ones dying when the hospitals and schools were bombed. Some of them had even witnessed, surrendered rebels with white flags, being shot and killed by the Sri Lankan armed forces.

     They are now witnessing killings, rape and torture in the hands of the security forces in these notorious camps. Sri Lankan authorities are preventing aid workers and journalists to the camps so that they can silence the witnesses of the war and the world wouldn’t know what had happened in the killing fields.

     The rate at which Tamils are disappearing and dying in these camps, half the population would be wiped out in three years time. The rest will be made mental and it would be a perfect opportunity for the Sri Lankan government to colonise two Tamil districts with Sinhala Buddhist settlers. This has always been the agenda of the Sinhala governments.

     Few years ago, one of the politicians from an extremist party in the south of Sri Lanka suggested to the government that carpet bombing the Tamil cities and killing half the Tamils in the country would be one of the ways to suppress the Tamil rebellion.

     Tamils getting killed in Sri Lanka pleases the Sinhala Buddhist extremists. If they had any care for the thousands of civilians killed in the war and the ones dying in the extermination camps, they wouldn’t have celebrated their war victory against the rebels with sweets and chocolates.

     Why do the Sinhalesse hate the Tamils so much?

     Sinhalese hate the Tamils because they are taught to hate the Tamils. They are taught in the schools and they are taught in the Buddhist temples. When the children are born to different races in Sri Lanka they are born pure and innocent.

     As they grow, they start to look into the eyes of their mothers and rest in the arms of their fathers and they feel secure and confident no matter whether they were born to Sinhala, Tamil, Muslim or Burgher parents.

     When they get into the schools, they are taught that the land belongs only to the Sinhala Buddhists and the rest were invaders and aliens.

     If my parents had taught me that my next door neighbour was born to a monkey and he was an invader in our family land, I would have grown up hating this poor neighbour. Thankfully my parents never did that.

     Buddhist Sinhala extremists in Sri Lanka are very much like the Nazi regime that preached hatred against the Jewish people, and the rulers of Sri Lanka are like reincarnations of Hitler because they are doing exactly what Hitler did sixty five years ago.

     Are all the Sinhalease racists?

     Not all the Germans were Nazis. Few leaders with sick heads can destroy a whole country or even start a world war. Hitler was a perfect example for it.

     There are many Sinhala politicians, academics, lawyers, human rights activists, professionals and people from all walks of life, understand that Tamils are oppressed because of ignorance, foolishness, hatred and greed of some Nazi style leaders who are not only wiping out Tamils but are destroying the whole country.

     Many Sinhala people are supporting the Tamils in their struggle against oppression.

     Why do they persecute the Tamils in Sri Lanka?

     Persecution of Tamils in Sri Lanka is more to do with an attempt by the Sinhala Buddhists leaders to fulfil the myths and fantasies written in an ancient book called Mahavamsa.

     Mahavamsa was originally written in Pali language because the Sinhala language was not well developed at that time.

     Mahavamsa is considered as a kind of bible by the Sinhala Buddhists in Sri Lanka. Although this book has historical records, there are many fabricated stories, myths and fantasies that make this book completely unreliable.

     It talks about a pure Sinhala race that descended from a lion which is obviously a four leg animal. No wonder why the minorities find the Sri Lankan lion flag very offensive.

     In recent days, great importance is given for flying the Sri Lankan lion flags in Tamil concentration camps , than feeding the hungry or treating the wounded. Even the Nazi regime in Germany was very serious about displaying swastika flags in the Jewish concentration camps.

     Mahavamsa also preaches hatred against the minority Tamils.

     Sinhala Buddhist politicians and military leaders of Sri lanka believe every word in this book and they are on a mission to fulfil the desires of the kings and queens that are portrayed in this book.

     This is a sample text from Mahavamsa which was written in the 6th Century. This verse talks about a desire of a Sinhala queen who wanted drink water, mixed with the blood of a Tamil warrior.

     “Then she longed to drink the water that had served to cleanse the sword with which the head of the first warrior among Tamil king Elära’s warriors had been struck off, and she longed to drink it standing on this very head, and moreover she longed to adorn herself with garlands of unfaded lotus-blossoms brought from the lotus marshes of Anuradhapura”

     No wonder why the extremists act like the way they act, when they meditate such verses. Words of many racist politicians and military leaders in Sri Lanka are spoken straight out this book. Even some of the well known former presidents of Sri Lanka are not the exceptions.

     They want to make Sri Lanka as a Sinhala Buddhist nation by wiping out the minority Tamils.

     Who are the original inhabitants of Sri Lanka?

     We have been very successful in building multi ethnic and multi religious communities with every colour race and religion who are enjoying equal rights in many countries. Therefore it is completely inappropriate to argue who own the lands and who were the original inhabitants.

     Tamils and Sinhalease both have been there for more than two thousands years. They lived in two separate nations until they were brought together by the British during the 18th century.

     But it is important to look at some historic facts about Sri Lanka so that we know it is wrong for the Sri Lankan authorities to claim Sri lanka as a Sinhala Buddhist country by suppressing the Tamil minorities who are indeed the original inhabitants of this Nation.

     Firstly, there were no Buddhists in Sri Lanka before 200 BC because Buddhism was brought to Sri Lanka in 200 BC. There was no Sinhala language before 300 BC ,because Sinhala language was given birth at that time. Sinhala has around four thousands loan words from Tamil language, although this language originated from Brahmi script and have features of Bengali, Pali and Sanskrit. It is quite obvious that Sinhala was developed by people from different races including the Tamils.

     Logically speaking, there was no such community called “Sinhala Buddhists” in Sri Lanka before 200BC. But there were Tamils in Sri Lanka before there were Sinhala Buddhists.

     However, Many Sinhalese have Dravidian and Aboriginal features and these people are either the inhabitants of the country who were speaking Tamil or aboriginal languages or people migrated from the South Indian states.

     Some of the Sinhalese have ancestors from Bengal, Orissa and other North Indian states.Those Sinhalese with the fair complexion either have north Indian roots or they have European ancestors.

     Tamils in Sri Lanka can be grouped into three groups. Majority of them are the original inhabitants and some came to this country during the Chola invasions from India and the ones who work in the tea estates were brought in the 18th century.

     Sri Lanka was connected to India by a land mass before they were separated by water. It is highly likely that Dravidian Tamils and Aboriginal community lived in Sri Lanka for many thousands years.

     In summary Tamils, Sinhalease and Muslims who have Aboriginal and Dravidian roots are the original inhabitants of Sri Lanka. So this claim of making Sri Lanka as a Sinhala Buddhist country by suppressing the minorities is completely illogical, because Sinhala language and the Buddhist religion are relatively new to this country that has many thousands of years of history.

     Sri Lanka has the responsibility to protect all its citizens no matter whether they are Sinhalease, Tamils, Muslims, Moors or Burghers. When they discriminate against a race and carrying out genocide they are not just failing from their duties but they are losing their right to govern.

     Oppressing the minorities to fulfil the myths and fantasies in a book that was written by a poet is a complete madness and those leaders who are trying to do this should be seen as the Hitlers of Sri Lanka.

     Buddhist Sinhala leaders are now busy performing their rituals while Tamils are dying in the concentration camps

     While the Tamils are persecuted all over the country, while they are being tortured in these controversial camps, the President and his family are busy performing Buddhist rituals and carrying statues through out the country.

     Recently, the Presidents wife and his son made a secret visit to the north of the country to perform a buddhist ritual in the Tamil city of Jaffna.

     The President has also recently announced that he was going to build nine giant Buddha statues in nine districts of the country including all the Tamil districts where people don’t practice Buddhism as their religion.

     Millions are going to be spent on building statues in places where thousands of Tamils have recently perished in a dirty war. Instead of giving priority to help the victims, ignorant leaders are acting irresponsibly.

     Sri Lankan government has also started to implement Sinhala colonisations in Tamil areas. They are also changing names of streets and places from Tamil to Sinhala

     All the indications of a systematic genocide of a race is clearly seen in Sri Lanka. Tamils are dying in the hands of a Sinhala regime because of the ignorance and stupidity of the Sinhala Buddhist leaders.

     What is the response from the International Community?

     Many foreign diplomats still haven’t understood the deeper issues. Some of them are even congratulating the Sri Lankan government just like someone who congratulate a bogus doctor who claims that he had healed Tyfoid with paracetamol tablets. Fever may be gone temporarily for few hours but the root disease is still there.

     Sadly, many haven’t grasped the fact that Sri Lankan leaders are deceiving the whole international community with lies and deceptions and this has been going on for years.

     Sri Lankan government very often take foreign diplomats to some of these refugee camps that are well maintained for propaganda purposes. They see such camps and give reports to the media that they are happy with the facilities available in these camps.

     In terms of statistics, such propaganda camps are not the right samples and they don’t represent the population.

     Human rights research groups and many independent organisations have confirmed war crimes and abuses in Sri Lanka in a massive scale and it is important that the world should be looking at the Sri Lankan leaders as suspected criminals and murderers.

     It doesn’t make any sense if the world leaders shake hands with the killers and make joint statements about the defeat of terrorism in Sri Lanka while the Sri Lankan State is still terrorising and abusing its minorities.

     If the world leaders understood, how much the Tamils are going through, in the hands of a Nazi style regime in Sri Lanka, they would have done something to save the Tamils from these notorious camps.

     International think tanks , diplomats and global strategists should understand the deeper issues in Sri Lanka before jumping into conclusions.

     Indian prime minister Manmohan Singh has recently acknowledged that Sri Lankan problem is bigger than LTTE. It is not that he has discovered something new but it is India’s another attempt to deceive the international community that they have a better understanding of Sri Lankan issues than other countries.

     Anyhow he was right that Sri Lanka has very deeper issues and the most obvious problem is that the Sinhala Buddhist leaders are trying to establish a Sinhala Buddhist Sri Lanka by wiping out the Tamil minorities.

     Sri Lankan ethnic conflict can be grouped into four areas. These are, enmity between two races that existed for almost two thousands of years, State terrorism against Tamils for the last 60 years, Tamil armed rebellion against State oppression for 30 years and finally the competition mainly between India and China in the Indian ocean

     India and China have acted as opportunists in Sri Lanka. They got into the scene and provided help to the party they saw as strong and they have now secured their interests in Sri Lanka.

     What we have recently seen in Sri Lanka is that the armed rebellion of the Tamils has now been crushed by the Sri Lankan government with the help of China and India who obviously have their own strategic interests in the Indian Ocean.

     International leaders should first understand that the armed Tamil rebellion from the Tamils was just a response to the State terrorism in this country and crushing this rebellion is just like dealing with a symptom instead of the root cause.

     Even after defeating the LTTE, The way how the Tamils are treated in the barbed wired concentration camps, clearly indicates that the problems in Sri Lanka are more to do with the hatred towards the Tamils and an organised State terrorism.

     Why do we have to intervene and save Tamils from Sri Lankan death camps?

     We have all heard about a man called Josef Fritzl who kept his daughter in the dungeon for 24 years. He fed her and gave all that she needed but he abused her day and night. He was found guilty and was sent to jail.

     When we find out that someone is abusing a victim, we will do something to stop the abuse and bring the culprit to justice. We don’t just stand and clap our hands or make joint statements with the killer.

     Sri Lankan leaders are acting exactly like this evil father. Tamils in Sri Lanka are abducted, abused, tortured, raped and killed everyday and the world has all the evidences.

     We live in a global village. We hold our hands and sing our Olympic songs together. We have become very generous and righteous. We climb mountains and run races to save the children in Africa.

     We have the technologies to see what is happening in every little tiny spots on this planet. A surgeon in California can operate a child in India by manipulating a robot arm through the web interface.

     We are the defenders of human rights. We talk about it in our dinner parties. We have huge departments in universities to do research on human rights and war crimes.

     We enjoy each other and we need each other. We eat mangoes from India, oranges from Israel and Kiwis from New Zealand.

     Here is the challenge for the civilised world. Three hundred thousands innocent civilians are persecuted in Barbed wired concentration camps for a simple reason that the rulers of this country consider them as infidels just like how Hitler treated the Jewish people.

     When the West fought with the Nazi regime in Germany, We didn’t just fight with flesh and blood but we also fought with the evil that was in the hearts and minds of the Nazis. What is destroying Sri Lanka is not the Sinhalease, not the Tamils, not even the Sri Lankan military but the evil that rules the hearts and minds of the racist political and religious leaders who are foolish, arrogant and greedy.

     Tamils are now dying in Nazi style death camps. The law of the land is not protecting them. A systematic genocide is being committed against this oppressed community.

     We have already failed to save thousands of Tamils from indiscriminate bombings in the killing fields of Sri Lanka.

     If ,what we believe and what we profess in the lands of freedom are true,we would do something to save the dying Tamils from the Death Camps of Sri Lanka.

     Are you saying that the president of the country is a racist ?? Answer – he has relatives who are Tamils – so forge the argument…

     Nazi camps? In Nazi camps – millions of Jews were killed we know – In Sri Lankan Make Shift camps, they are being protected from Landmines and also rehabilitated (i.e. the innocent who were forcefully taken in by the LTTE) no Killing happens – So get your facts and thoughts right… !!

657. Machan Vanni !

     Whether U like it or not – the GOSL has got the backing of many nations to carryout the humanitarian effort forward. They know the facts and the fact is that these are Makeshift camps and not concentration camps. They have seen what happens in these camps. So however much you try to give false information to the world using cheap mechanisms and some paid journalists, the effort to rehabilitate these innocent people will continue. You your self would see the results of this humanitarian efforts within the next 6 months. The sad story would be that you will not have any acquisitions to make once the rehabilitation is over with. I guess, then you will start developing another false story of some nature which would again be negated by the UN and other countries. I guess this would be the story for quite some time with the LTTE supporters trying everything to spread false propaganda. But I guess that it would not be an issue for the GOSL and it's supporters to negate them and move forward… There is an old saying that I remembered, Dogs can bark, but the carriage will move forward my friend !!

     remember , when SL was occupied by Portugees Pirates. Netherland (Landesi – Ollanthar) came forward to help SL. at that time SL Raja thought…, aha what a kind and caring people are these Netherland people. what a terrible thing happend to SL? NL killed all the Portugal Pirates and captured (including Raja) whole SL. at that time SL Raja told "INGURU DEELA MIRIS GATHA VAAGE VEDAK UNA MATTE". (Tamil – INGI KODUTHU MILAHAY VAANGIYE VISAYAMA POITU") (English – I gave Ginger and got Chillie back)
     Ginger – Portugees
     Chillie – Netherland
     SL Raja thought Portugees were better than notorieus Netherland (DUTCH) but Netherland were much worser than the Portugees.

     SL Rajapakse thought LTTE is a biggest problem of SL. ha ha ha China is the biggest problem of SL. and India ofcourse.

676. Karawe Thamilan Alfonso !!

     You have asked me what I think about the Tamils… Well, as far as I am concerned, we all are human, made of Flesh, Blood and bone.. I am a A+ in blood and if you have the same, you could save my life ain't it ?? We humans fight just because we all cannot get our thought together – we all think differently.. Actually, we all are wasting our times in here – at least 30 minutes a day of the valuable time we have for nothing… You nor Me will have a final say in any of these matters ha ? (Unless you are KP or an active LTTE political member)

     Well, answer to your question – I don't have any positive or Negative feeling for any person based on race or religion. If you do me wrong, I would react based on the effect it had on me than look at your ethnic or other background. As far as I am concerned, LTTE has done me and this country I was born in a load of harm and I am dead against them and glad that they are long gone ! I am all willing to work with any other party regarding anything without scanning the background.

     And for your anti American comment – There is no where it is said that you have to be anti or pro American or any body for that matter. At least we can be happy that we are with the Asians – the category that we belong – Our heritage was ruined mainly by the Inguru's and the Miriss ! But, I know for sure that the intent is not to chase away any westerners. Just that we garbed the assistance we got from who ever – mind you we got a decent amount of aids from Israel which is considered Pro American as well. I think the world has moved way beyond the days of people having petty thoughts on governance for reason of acquiring land. Hence it's a pity that organizations as LTTE, Taliban and a few others try to thrive on such ancient tactics. In your case, if what you state is right, India and China will have to fight for Sri lanka first – so it still will not be our problem.

     You are still trying to call up on the "International Community" to help – I still ask you, whom do you want to help ? Tamil people or LTTE – we all treat Tamil people in Sri Lanka with the stance of "All Tamils are not LTTE". But you cry out to the world as if "All Tamils are LTTE"… Which obviously is not the truth. Tamils starting from My Good Friend Jaypragasam to Politician Ananda Sangari will agree with me on that… The same way, International community is not America, Canada and Western Europe – You are forgetting 5 other continents who belong to the International Community. As we saw at the previous UN summit, 3/4 of them were with the GOSL and not the LTTE !!

     To get the History lesson right – the Dutch did get rid of the Portuguese with the help of the then king of SL (Don Juan). But they never managed to capture the Island as King Narendra Signha managed to salvage the pride by migrating the Sri Lankan Kingdom to the hills of Kandy. However, we could not defend the northern part of the Island (what you call as Tamil Land) as the king (Don Juan) who was considered a weak character did not take any precautions to save the area either. However, this goes on to show again that there was no seperate Kingdom in Jaffna at that time either !!

     You say – ""Dont tell lie words about tha Refugees Camp.This Camp is called as Nazis camp.The world licensed famous terrerist is :only one and one, that is SLG""

     I though Nazi camps were what they called Hitler's camps – No My friend – The So Called Camps in Sri Lanka are called "Make Shift Camps". I think I have explained above what it means – there is a clear difference between words and if you do not understand the difference, you need to go back to school – BTW, we do have school inside these make shift camps to ensure that the displaced children do not have their studies stopped due to Terrorist issues.

     If you call GOSL terrorists because we got rid of the so called terrorist organization, may be you are trying to re-define the world terrorist – In that sense, Americans would be Terrorists for trying to eradicate Taliban & Al Quaida… So No worries – we are still in good hands !!

     Peace My Brother !!

     “next 6 months”, you think they finish the GENOCIDE, we saw last 60 years.

     The world tested all its weapons on tamils through GOSL, 200 billions dollars on war, 3000 times air strike, cluster bombs, chemical bombs, 5000-6000 shelled daily, No security councle meeting held, but when North korea tested one bomb underground, immediate meeting held. Why? can ban ki or akashi or any other leaders have answer?

681. Karawe Thamilan Alfonso !!

     You have asked me what I think about the Tamils… Well, as far as I am concerned, we all are human, made of Flesh, Blood and bone.. I am a A+ in blood and if you have the same, you could save my life ain’t it ?? We humans fight just because we all cannot get our thought together – we all think differently.. Actually, we all are wasting our times in here – at least 30 minutes a day of the valuable time we have for nothing… You nor Me will have a final say in any of these matters ha ? (Unless you are KP or an active LTTE political member)

     Well, answer to your question – I don’t have any positive or Negative feeling for any person based on race or religion. If you do me wrong, I would react based on the effect it had on me than look at your ethnic or other background. As far as I am concerned, LTTE has done me and this country I was born in a load of harm and I am dead against them and glad that they are long gone ! I am all willing to work with any other party regarding anything without scanning the background.

     And for your anti American comment – There is no where it is said that you have to be anti or pro American or any body for that matter. At least we can be happy that we are with the Asians – the category that we belong – Our heritage was ruined mainly by the Inguru’s and the Miriss ! But, I know for sure that the intent is not to chase away any westerners. Just that we garbed the assistance we got from who ever – mind you we got a decent amount of aids from Israel which is considered Pro American as well. I think the world has moved way beyond the days of people having petty thoughts on governance for reason of acquiring land. Hence it’s a pity that organizations as LTTE, Taliban and a few others try to thrive on such ancient tactics. In your case, if what you state is right, India and China will have to fight for Sri lanka first – so it still will not be our problem.

     You are still trying to call up on the “International Community” to help – I still ask you, whom do you want to help ? Tamil people or LTTE – we all treat Tamil people in Sri Lanka with the stance of “All Tamils are not LTTE”. But you cry out to the world as if “All Tamils are LTTE”… Which obviously is not the truth. Tamils starting from My Good Friend Jaypragasam to Politician Ananda Sangari will agree with me on that… The same way, International community is not America, Canada and Western Europe – You are forgetting 5 other continents who belong to the International Community. As we saw at the previous UN summit, 3/4 of them were with the GOSL and not the LTTE !!

     To get the History lesson right – the Dutch did get rid of the Portuguese with the help of the then king of SL (Don Juan). But they never managed to capture the Island as King Narendra Signha managed to salvage the pride by migrating the Sri Lankan Kingdom to the hills of Kandy.

694. Dear Karawe Thamilan Alponso !!

     I refer to your comment below.

     ""Roshan! pls stop comenting on our comments. wil you? you are free to put your comments here about SL Govermant. but do not disturb us.""

     Do you want me to shut my mouth and let you lie to the world?? Why should I ?? I am sorry if you are disturbed about my comments, but what you are trying to do is disturb the whole world by stating what's wrong !! So my form of comments will come as replies to you guys !

     I am glad to know that you are not a Tiger supporter – I was disturbed my self that I was arguing with a Terrorist. Small gesture, all the remaining Tamil people are now supporting a main stream political party as the TNA, TULF, EPDP or even Mr. Karuna Amman's Party… They are not considered Terrorist and do stand for the rights of the Tamil People. (Thonda is for upcountry Tamils I guess) So, what you can do is, kind of get first hand information from either of these parties, may be get affiliation to one of them and you definitely will get the opportunity to help the innocent Tamil people.

     As for your questions,

     1. Howmany of innocent Thamils were killed in 1983 by Sinhala Kadayo(r)? are they all LTTE?

     Howmany Innocent Singhalees & Muslims were killed in Jaffna from 1950 on by Tamil Separatists ? Do you know that the number is larger than the Tamils killed in 83 riots ? 50,000 + Singhales and Muslims have been killed in the north as oppose to 3,000 in 83 riots. That happened because LTTE killed members of the forces for nothing.

     I do not justify the killing in 83 or killings in North by any means. One of my good friend (Moorthy) lost his father due to this riots and we were so upset because he was such a nice Gentleman – I still remember him as the loving Moorthy uncle who bought me a toy bus… He was killed in Dehiwela.

     My point is, that it happens every where there is a diversion in Races and religions. Take India for an example. Many clashes between Mulims and Hindus, then Seiks and Hindus etc. How about Bosnia ? Even in Rwanda – the war between 2 tribes. We can give many examples from all over the world. But, what we need to do is settle these unsettled minds and taking arms is not the solution for sure… But, if a terror group does so, it will be the responsibility of a democratic government to stop it by any means.. remember, the consecutive 4 governments tried to do it by having several peace talks that failed due to LTTE.

     2. Thamil shops were looted by Sinhala Kadayo(r). (kadayo mean Rowdy)

     Don't agree with what happened at all… Also don't agree with LTTE looting Singhala Shops in Jaffna !

     Kadayo's are all over men – see in America – the Chicago underground – Kadayo !!

     3.Thamil women were raped by Sinhala Kadayo(r).

     Singhala Women were raped by Tamil Kadayo – Don't agree with it… Sex is good, but definitely not rape !

     ARE THEY ALL LTTE??????

     I don't think that they were LTTE and I denounce what happened in 83.

     What your SLG did to protect us (Thamils) in Colombo?

     Totally agree – they should have saved the Tamils better !
     But don't forget, the Majority of the Singhalees who were not racist did save their friends… My Dad couldn't save Moorty Uncle, but he did save Rajaratnam Uncle…

     I don't think the Singhales became rich by looting Tamils – and definitely not with what they got in 83..

     Actually, I must say Sorry to you for calling you a lair… I am sure that you are not… you are trying to voice your opinion and in my point of view, though you are voicing your opinion, you are mislead by some lairs.. Hence, the facts you spell out do actually come out as false information… Just as my scope of information is limited, yours is too.. You listen to one side of the story and I do to the other.. However, in my case, I have seen it to my own eyes.. hence, I have evidence behind my writings.. This is why I tell you to come down and look with your own eyes.. See some of the media institutions have their own agendas and sources of funding.. So you ideally have to filter the information.. !

     Jaya Wewa !

705. Hi Karawe Thamilan Amponso !!

     OK – Mama Modaya !! But, when I asked the question, I did not mean for you to answer it – it was only to drive a point and to answer your question – If you don't understand that part – kawuda Modaya ? Unaka Paithyam ?

     See – what I have been trying to tell you all this time (actually wasting it) is that you still live in the 1983 period – it is totally different from those days – I lived in 83 as well… !! it is not the same and people are not out here to kill any other ! We have grown out of it long since 83… Matured from 83… I told repeatedly that I don't approve of what happened in 83 by Singhales and also Tamils prior and after 83… (Degolloma Weradi Kala – but time to forget and move forward) – If you cannot understand this part – I seriously think that we have a communication gap !!

     I never said that you were brain washed – I said that you were mis lead by certain media providing false information subject to these media being bribed or trying to create news.. ! – Most of the facts are wrong or made up… !

     I know that Blood is thicker than water – this is exactly why I say that you should help the Tamils people – what you are doing is making things worse for them… we are trying to create harmony among communities over here and help those who suffered during the past 25 years due to LTTE menace, and you are trying to get them to choose the wrong path again !! What you ideally can do is, help the people who are in camps – the more you help, the sooner they can settle in their own houses. Yesterday, another 5000 families (Approx 20,000 / – people) were sent to their houses in a cleared area in Mannar. Sooner we clear areas, we will settle the IDP's. Help them out and help Sri Lanka be one nation as it has always been… !

     You should be a shame of your self to a certain extent to plead to America or any other country to save you or do anything for that matter – where is the self dignity ? the issue is sorted and you can always be a part of the solution that follows the end of brutality… !

709. The tragedy of refugees in Sri Lanka, hidden from the eyes of the world
     by Nirmala Carvalho
     There is still no precise data on the number of people living in the centres. Colombo media do not speak of the plight of the internally displaced persons. An operator allowed into the Chettikulam camp states: “The Colombo government is only concerned with one thing: finding remaining members of the LTTE and killing them”.
     Mumbai (AsiaNews) – “Small children are suffering malnutrition and a lack of medicines. There are young girls who are pregnant, between 17 and 19 years of age, in need of care… the government has no capacity at all to handle this massive problem, no news so far has come out in the news papers in Sri Lanka, the rest of the nation is kept in dark regarding the situation of the refugees”.
     This is how a social worker recently describes the situation for the internally displaced persons (Idp) held in the refugee camp in Chettikulam 12 kilometres from Vavuniya to AsiaNews. He had visited the camp before (see AsiaNews 05/06/2009) and now he says: “some of our friends returned there yesterday and report that the situation is still serious”.
     Prasanna – a pseudonym to protect his anonymity – says that in Chettikulam there are more than 300 thousand people and added to that number, refugees who live in smaller camps dotted around the area of Mannar and Jaffna. But he adds that “there is still no data on the precise number of the refugees”.
     “No one speaks of the IDPs – says Prasanna – not a single photo is allowed out of the camp, no papers write anything about it, people do not know about the great tragedy is going on in their country”.
     The social worker appeals to the international community, “and in particular to the Indian government”, to show greater concern for the plight of the refugees. “The only interest of the Colombo government – says Prasanna – is to find more Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam members who are living in the camp and kill them”.
     UNHCR has taken satellite photos of the area occupied by the Chettikulam camp, “an immense area subdivided into different and separate zones”, the AsiaNews source explains. “The military brought us to one are and told us to help the people there. We have not been allowed to visit other zones. The area is so vast that it is impossible to estimate how many people are being held there”.

736. John !!

     I refer to the following comment from the extracted article of yours….

     Mumbai (AsiaNews) – “Small children are suffering malnutrition and a lack of medicines. There are young girls who are pregnant, between 17 and 19 years of age, in need of care… the government has no capacity at all to handle this massive problem, no news so far has come out in the news papers in Sri Lanka, the rest of the nation is kept in dark regarding the situation of the refugees”.

     WE all know by now that the girls got them selves pregnant to avoid being taken in to the LTTE forcefully. But, no one would be in a position to say that the government has no capacity to handle this…

     Sri Lanka is probably the only country that provides free hospitalization (and education) in the whole world and the government has done this for quite some time now. Hence, we can safely assume that the government of Sri Lanka is more than capable of handling these kind of situations. Do you mean to agree that a private organization is more capable of handling such situation than a legitimate government that gets sufficient funding to carry out such work ? May be the western governments are not due to them heavily depending on private sector to carry out almost all the work done, but not over here !!

     As per governments interest in finding more LTTE carders hiding among the normal civilians – can you blame them ? Do you want another bloodshed to happen in this tiny Island ??

737. Hello and a good day to you !

     Sorry for keeping silent for sometime – though of having a break ! See that you guys have been busy trying your luck with false information again!

     Cheers !

738. The 20-member committee appointed by Colombo to spend the money in tamil area has 19 Sinhalese(most of them military), one Muslim and no Tamil.

739. "another 5000 families (Approx 20,000 / – people) were sent to their houses in a cleared area in Heaven", big liers,another cricket score from Heaven

740. Vanni – How can U say it is a lie that 5000 families were re-settled ??

Not less than 8 Muslims in the cabinet. So, it is not a Singhlala Buddhist Government over here… I guess all the governments including the USA have robbers – I know that it is true to Sri Lanka too… That is part as parcel of Politics I guess… However, the Tsunami funds that were sent to the North were stolen by the LTTE – we all know this as a proven fact too.. all monies sent to develop the fishing community in north were used by the LTTE to hire experts that could build submarines… GREAT work ha ? Not robbery ?? – Now we all know who has Achcharu and where they have it – I just got the clip of the autopsy of Prabhakaran – guess what ? He truly did have a Hollow and no brain… !!

     Vanni – In Autria is it ? I still think Canada – Anyways, U have not been to Vanni for many years… It is different now and you definitly do not know Vanni any more… Yesterday the government pledged to re-build / renovate 365,000 houses at the cost of the Government before the innocent civilians re-settle.. Now that is what you call loving a community, not giving them a cyanide pill and a gun to kill another community… !

I still think Canada – Anyways, U have not been to Vanni for many years… It is different now and you definitly do not know Vanni any more… Yesterday the government pledged to re-build / renovate 365,000 houses at the cost of the Government before the innocent civilians re-settle.. Now that is what you call loving a community, not giving them a cyanide pill and a gun to kill another community… !

     People there live with nature, very hardworking people, never beg from anyone for their living. It is a self-suffice land known for its fertility and clean atmosphere. They are asking from everyone is just to return their land, which they will turn into grain producing land for the whole island in months.

     Mean while, living with other communities peacefully in one land could be very fierce… Yep… ! Peace is to be feared for !!

     Why do you talk about LTTE? according to your SLG LTTE is over. without LTTE is SL situation is double worst for civilians and specially for Thamils.

Person who masterminded the killings of Tamil Muslims in a Mosque in Batcaloa is now a minister and a good friend of Mr.Rajapakse.This particular genleman was arrested in London on November 2, 2007 following a joint operation between the Metropolitan Police and the Border and Immigration Agency. He was found in possession of a forged passport and firearms. According to the Sunday Times, a weekly English newspaper published in Sri Lanka, the British authorities have claimed that they have enough evidence to show that the Sri Lankan government was complicit in helping this gentleman receive a diplomatic passport.
     He said in court that the government, through Permanent Secretary for Defense Gotabhaya Rajapaksa, had given him the passport. On January 25, 2008 he was sentenced to nine months in prison. He was transferred to an immigration detention centre in May 2008.
     A number of human rights groups, led by Amnesty International, urged the Metropolitan Police to investigate him for war crimes including torture, hostage-taking and recruitment of child soldiers. He was deported back to Sri Lanka on 3 July 2008.
     On his arrival he was greeted by the Government officials. Later he was appointed as a National List Member of Parliament for the ruling United People’s Freedom Alliance (UPFA), the party of President Mahinda Rajapakse .

Sri lanka dont lie any more, don't hide the genocide, don't kill the remaining witness, you won false propaganda of fighting terrorism, you gave the free hand to your forces to kill tamils. It is unfortunate that the whole world is silently watching the state terrorism.

805. Karawe Thamilan Alponso !

     Don't lie about a Tamil girl being raped in Wellawatte – Being a resident of Wellawatte, we never heard of anything of that sort. If at all Wellawatte Police has more Tamil representation than Singhala Representation – so you need to ask where did the Tamil police men go if anyone was raped… All this time I though that you were mislead, but now I know that you are lying…

     U R a liar Karawe Thamilan Kadaya Alponso !!

     LTTE might be gone as an organization in SL, but there are a few left overs in SL and world over, we need to take some kind of action against them too and we will do it… There is no requirement to gun down any ally what so ever because we know that they now have realised what they were doing and what their real potential is – they are our friends and they will remain good friends forever – so don't waste the little bit of brain you have thinking about it..

     International media is always welcome and they do currently operate well in Sri Lanka – but if you are talking about us letting Tamilnet or any of it's allies to come to Sri Lanka for media coverage – that will not happen – so take it or leave it !! It is Terror that is dealt with Terror in this country – so if you see the Sri Lankan government as Terrorists, I assume that you are a Terror too !

806. Dear Vanni,

     The article you copied off Geoffry, he is probably talking of Mr. Karuna Amman..

     Yes, he even was involved in the bombing of the most sacred Temple in Kandy.. He was indeed a terrorist some time back as we all know and was involved in many killings.. Why he is forgiven and taken in to the main political stream is because he understood his mistakes and laid down arms to join the peace revolution – Do you think that it would be a wise idea to Kill or at least Jail such person ? We didn't think so, that is why even Daya Master and George Master were welcome when they wanted peace..

     The Haiti incident is indeed a disgrace – All those soldiers were sacked from the army.. I would have liked it better if they were sent to prison as they disgraced our (yours and mine) motherland.. Do U agree ?? But however, the UN still has not lost its confidence in the capabilities of the Sri Lanakan forces. That is why they have requested for more to be placed in other countries. We (both of us) at least could be happy in that sense because we know that there are many good soldiers in our army apart from the few who go and spoil it for us ha ?

     Also Vanni – do you know how many Tamils are there in the world ? It is close to (or more than) 100 million from what I know where 70 million live in Tamilnadu. How on earth do you think Sri Lanka (or Singhales) with a total population of less than 20 million kill all these Tamils ?? Surely cannot be genocide ha ?? If it was the other way around I can understand.. Also, if there are Tamil ministers (including karuna) in the government and many company CEO's and directors and a work force of close to 500,000 living in Colombo in peace, how can it be genocide ? My freind, the LTTE killed the people who tried to escape – the Killing has stopped now – don't worry, we will look after your Fathers, Mothers, brothers and Sisters living over here – you know why ? because we treat them as our own too… !!

817. Roshan! you are good story teller.
     YOU WILL TELL STORY NOT ONLY TO THE PRAGNANT WOMAN BUT ALSO TO THE CHILD IN THE WHOEM.

     here we Thamils are posting the evidance of SL Terrorisem. we don’t talk anymore about LTTE with you, cauze according to SLG LTTE is over and Prabhakaran is DEAD.
     Before LTTE Thmails were TERROREIST by SLG and after LTTE Thamils are still Terroreising by SLG.

     A Democracy country must have atleast some policy. how can your Stupid Presidant appoint Karuna as a minister?
     Mervin Silva is a another GANGSTER in your Parlimant. i can go so on with the list. Man! be real, and look at your Foolish Govermant and try to bring a change in your Govermant. don’t focus toomuch on Thamils. more you focus on Thamils your Foolish Presidant wil sell all the SL to India and China.

     – Galle Fort taken by Netherlands through UNHCR. 92acer land. surrounding places and buildings can’t be change.all the maintance is in the hand of Netherland (Former SL’s colonial master. known as Dutch, VOC, Ollandesi karayo, Moedu Oru and Holland)

     – All Galle taken over by a city called Velsen in Netherlands as a Sister Village
     Mayer of Velsen is been visiting SL for more than 15years.

     – Netherlands tryed to get Negombo also under their village called Uden.

     next plan of Netherlands is taking over SINGARAJA Forest.
     Foolish Sinhala Leaders are selling/giving out their land.

     – Chandika Bandaranayake has already gave a 50acre land in Puttalam to US. Voice of America ship is located there. surrounding ares are bought by Americans.

     – KKS, Pulmottai and Trico is in the hands of Indians.

     – Hambantota is in the hands of China

     Man, i can go further with all details. Thank me for giving you free and valuable informations.
     as long as you have FOOLISH people in your Govermant SL wil be never OK. once you wil regret to support those IDIOTS.

     I trust you meant the Child in the WOMB !

     Anyways, your last posting doesn't provide me with any evidence of GOSL going against the Tamils here… Mervin Silva is a menace we all know – but what to do ? We need to have people like Karuna in the government in the effort of us trying to reach out to the Tamils – it could have been Prabha if he had entered the democratic path. If so would you tell me that he was a killer and should not be in parliament ??

     FYI, there is an act in Sri Lanka prohibiting sale of any land to anyone who is not a Sri Lankan citizen… So no body including Chandrika (stupid B****) could have done so… If we want to, tomorrow, Sri Lanka also could have an adopted city in another country – that doesn't mean it belongs to us, but, we would support that city… There is a huge difference – and by you not knowing it, it shows your caliber and up bringing…

829. Sri Lankan government is planning on settling the first IDP's in the northern province. The first ever IDP's that lost their lands, houses and belongings were the Muslim population who were chased out by the LTTE more than 20 years ago. The government is taking initiatives to re-settle them and also the Singhala community who were displaced by the 3 decade civil war. These settlements would take place along with the settlement of the IDP's who recently lost their belongings due to the governments battle with the LTTE terrorists.

     I have more articles like this. it is so sad that SL Leaders are corrupted and not doing (even for Sinhalees) any good for their citizens.
     -How thes PEDO'S are coming into SL?
     by telling we want to help TSUNAMI Childrens.
     we want to help Orphans
     we want to help the Poor Children
     Sinhala Beach Boys are very famous among Sex Tourists.
     -Why Netherland helping SL?
     Galle fort (Dutch Heritage-Dutch Pride)
     Galle city near the fort has Dutch buildings and houses of former Colonial masters.
     VOC ship wich drawn in the Galle sea (Dutch collection-Museam)
     in SL mainly in Sinhala areas you can find many Dutch charity organaiations. not all of them are bad. but, there are many PEDO's coming in to SL under the Charity names.
     PEDO child adoption is very famous in SL
     -How a Foriegner buy Land in SL?
     under the Silankan names. mostly they mary a poor Sinhala girl to get SL citizenship. look at Negombo,Colombo,Mountlavinya,Galle etc. mainly Germans are doing this in SL.
     -Why former colonial countries adopting city in SL?
     ofcourse they help a bit SL. but they have always hidden agenda.
     Foolish Rasist Sinhala Bhudist Terrorist leaders destroying SL.

He confronted the Sri Lankan authorities about the deaths caused by the usage of heavy and banned weapons against civilians. As usual David Miliband or anybody who talks about human rights violations in Sri Lanka are called white tigers, brown tigers or yellow tigers depending on the colour of their skin.

873. LTTE is Freedom Fighters. LTTE is not like Taliban or orther TERRORIST Organaisation.
     Eritrean Presidant was called by Ethiopia and other Nations as a TERRORIST Leader. even USA supported Ethipia to fight against Eritrea. No any country helped them. Eritreans were fighting almost 30 years against Ethiopia. Diaspora Eritreans did many campaigns against Ethipoia like Thamils doing all over the world. after bitter fight and peacefull demonstrations Eritrea is freed from Ethiopia. Former Terrorist is current Presidant of Eritrea.
     It shows us strugle for freedom cost a lot to that Nation.
     I have a lot of good friends from Eritrea and Ethiopia. What i learnd from them, "NOTHING GET YOU FREE" YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING TO GET SOMETHING. Thamils must come under one Flag and we have to speak in one Language. ofcourse, we have to preach the Thamil Eelam to orther Nations. so that they can get a clear picture about our struggle.
     – Why Thamils need Thamil Eelam?
     – Is this the only solution for Thamils?
     -Why not power sharing political solution?
     -Why acctualy Thamils asking for Thamil Eelam?
     – Why Thamils fled SL?
     maybe we have to open a new website to preach the Thamil Eelam to Foriegners (maybe a webside exist) in their own language. Eelam Thamils speaks almost every languge of the world.
     I call upon orther Thamils who put their comments here before to continue to put their comments. by doing this we help others (not Thamils) to get a clear picture about Thamilan's problem in SL. pls come up with evidance like Vanni do. Thamils from North and East must understand this and help your OWN family over there from SL Terrorisem. If you Eelam Thamils don't open your mouth who wil open their mouth to support you?.

     Rosha!
     You told me that i lied about the Thamil girl who been raped by Sinhalees in Wellawatta!. and you wrote: as a citizen of Wellawatta you must have known about this rape scene.
     It seems like any RAPE SCENCE happens in Clombo, doesn't happen without your knowledge????

912. THE SAD PART IS
     India did PR for Rajapaksa govt’
     Express News Service First Published : 05 Jul 2009 03:45:00 AM ISTLast Updated : 05 Jul 2009 08:41:24 AM IST
     CHENNAI: Noted journalist Satya Sivaraman said India became just a public relations manager for the Sri Lanka’s Mahinda Rajapaksa government in their war against the LTTE.
     Delivering a speech at a function on “What next in Sri Lanka”, he said instead of trying for a democratic solution for the ethnic crisis, India was protecting the Lankan government from the international community by whitewashing all the war crimes committed by that country.
     He said India was directly involved in helping the Sri Lankan army along with nations such as Israel, Pakistan, and China. “But the Indian involvement were very secretive and would never come out,” he said.
     The noted political commentator said India was trying to play up the China’s involvement “just to justify their action” in the island nation.
     He said Indian government did not favour a separate Tamil Eelam in that country as “It feared that would have encouraged the sub-national groups demanding separate states in the country”.
     Sivaraman said the political parties which were ruling at the Centre and the State were playing football game in the Sri Lankan ethnic issue, in which “the football was Lankan Tamils”.
     K Balagopal, Human Rights Forum, Hyderabad, said the Rajapaksa government was taking it easy on the rehabilitation of the displaced Tamils. “They are in no hurry for it as they are in a victorious mode.
     And they know well that there is nobody to put pressure on them,” he said.
     Balagopal said there are serious doubts raised by the international community about the resettlement.
     “Nobody is sure that whether they are going to be rehabilitated in their original habitats because most of the areas are given to International firms,” he said.
     He said that the need of the hour was the democratisation of polity and not just the devolution of powers.
     “Steps should be taken to ensure the ethnic communities, Tamils and Muslims, live with dignity, free of fear and with equal rights.”

     The Government has taken steps to carry out a special program to rehabilitate child LTTE cadres who surrendered and they are now being rehabilitated.

     A majority of them had been conscripted by the LTTE for training to fill depleted cadres. Even their parents had made effort to save them ,but proved futile in the face of LTTE gun terror.

     Wanni Commanding Officer Major Gen. Jagath Jayasooriya said during a visit to the rehabilitation centres at Thampamaduwa and Poonthottam that these underage children were used as combatants by the LTTE.

     He pointed out that all facilities have been granted to direct them to various professions. 'We frequently look into the needs of these young men and women, he added.

     These cadres under rehabilitation said they were now enjoying freedom of life.

     The Government's intention is to solicit their contribution to the country's development.

     Fishing in full swing in Jaffna, Mannar

     Following the lifting of all restrictions on fishing, the industry is now gathering momentum in the northern districts of Jaffna and Mannar and arrangements are now under way to engage insulated trucks to transport the excess fish produce to Colombo and other southern areas, said Secretary to the Ministry of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, G. Piyasena.

     He expressed optimism that with the commencement of transport services within the next two weeks the price of fish and other sea food should come down considerably in Colombo and other southern areas.

     The northern province with its 480 km coastline, 250 fishing villages and over 35,000 active fishermen produced 14,000 tonnes of fish annually of which the Jaffna district produces 5,830 tonnes.

     With no restrictions on fishing any longer this amount is expected to increase further, fisheries sources said.

921. India ready to help in de-mining

     India has expressed her willingness to help Colombo in de-mining activities in the North where the LTTE has buried a uncountable number of mines. It is not possible to re-settle thousand who are currently sheltered in make shift camps with the government knowing it would be disaster to send them to the uncleared areas.

     Meanwhile,Sri Lankan Security forces have near completed de-mining in many areas liberated the LTTE grip recently.

     The Indian government has expressed willingness to support to expedite the task of de-mining the former troubled areas where the LTTE buried untold number of landmines.

     Indian Foreign Secretary Shiv Shankar Menon earlier said New Delhi would be willing to send Indian experts for the de-mining activities in Sri Lanka. In addition, the Indian government has granted support to enhance health facilities of the displaced civilians.

924. In Mannar, fisher people were already engaged in fishing and their number further increased with the resettlement of over 700 families in Musali, Mannar, from IDP welfare centres in April and June. The resettled fishermen were provided fishing gear and other assistance. Although there was no displacement of fisher families in the Jaffna district, they were not fully active due to the fishing restrictions in force and LTTE threats. However, at present they are free to go fishing 24 hours a day. With the northern fishing grounds of 'Pedro Bank' and 'Wadge Bank' which are rich in aquatic resources, the fish produce should increase substantially, the Ministry Secretary said.

932. Sri Lanka is a TERRORIST COUNTRY and Roshan is Terrorist supporter

933. About 1,400 people are dying every week at the giant Manik Farm internment camp set up in Sri Lanka to detain Tamil refugees from the nation’s bloody civil war, senior international aid sources have told The Times.

     The death toll will add to concerns that the Sri Lankan Government has failed to halt a humanitarian catastrophe after announcing victory over the Tamil Tiger terrorist organisation in May. It may also lend credence to allegations that the Government, which has termed the internment sites “welfare villages”, has actually constructed concentration camps to house 300,000 people.

     Mangala Samaraweera, the former Foreign Minister and now an opposition MP, said: “There are allegations that the Government is attempting to change the ethnic balance of the area. Influential people close to the Government have argued for such a solution.”

     News of the death rate came as the International Committee of the Red Cross revealed that it had been asked to scale down its operations by the Sri Lankan authorities, which insist that they have the situation under control.

938. Injustice and Inequality in an unfair world

     “Life is not fair” is a phrase that always echoes in the far corners of this Earth. A fifteen year old boy may have to work sixteen hours a day, in a poor African country just to get one meal a day for his sick mother and five siblings. This may not be the case in many other places in the world. Even the rulers of some poor countries, could be using gold plated toilets and marble baths while the poor hunt for bread crumps in rubbish dumps.

     We are now so used to living with other people money without any shame. Resources on this earth are not distributed fairly among its inhabitants. We have built intelligent systems to steal, what belongs to others. Our banks no longer focus much on their traditional roles, instead they employ rocket scientists to build sophisticated gambling machines in order to rob the poor and give to the rich.

     Corrupt regimes, can to some extent be blamed for the misery of people in their lands. Instead of setting the people free from such regimes, some of the big players use this as an opportunity to exploit the vulnerable people for their own selfish gains.

     Value of life is not the same in every country. When the twin towers fell and three thousands perished, we all knelt down and wept. The whole world came to a stop for few minutes. We declared “War on Terror” against each and every single armed group in the world, including the ones that are genuinely fighting to free their communities from oppressive governments. Hands of the oppressed were tied and the weapons were given to many corrupt Nations. This is what we call Justice today.

     Four hundred thousands were slaughtered in Darfur, Eight hundred thousands perished in Rwanda because the terror regimes in these countries were driven by ignorance and greed. No leader in the world declared “War on Genocide” even after seeing millions of deaths. Instead, some of the world powers aided genocide in these poor countries.

     Although, the world media still stick with the figure of seventy thousands, the actual number of people, perished in the Sri Lankan civil war is around three hundred thousands. Fifty thousands were killed just within a short period of time in the recent war in Sri Lanka.

     We have millions of evidences to prove that a systematic genocide is taking place in Sri Lanka while the Nations are watching. Neither UN nor any other world power is being able to stop the madness that is still going on in this country.

     Security Council no longer agree on any decisions that are vital to save the vulnerable and oppressed people on this earth. Permanent members use their Veto powers just to cover their own dirt and to protect the other bullies in their club.

     Our parliamentarians are hanging on to their positions and they are forced to sort out their expense claims to keep their jobs. Leaders of some powerful nations are not being able to focus on the real issues because they are chased after, to give explanations for things they did when they were teenagers. Senior staffs in the UN no longer have the freedom to do what is right. They have to dance according to the tunes played by their masters who have conflicting interests. It has now become a common practice that the leaders in the UN and top diplomats speak the truth only after their retirement.

     We have robust systems in place, to protect the criminals and torment the victims. Our legal systems are so advanced that diplomats and politicians have to think hundred times, before making any comments. Just to make life easier, they keep their mouths shut even at times it is important to speak out.

     Even during a humanitarian crisis, our leaders would still act like electronic parrots who can only repeat the same recorded words that would comply with national and international laws, just to make sure that they hang on to their jobs. The world is dying for leaders who can at least use their basic common sense to help the persecuted people on this planet.

     We talk about political correctness. We are very concerned about little things but we turn a deaf ear, when the real-world calamities strike the mankind. We are planning to stop using Christmas lights in our towns because we think it will offend people from other religions. We are supposed to write “Traces of Nuts” on peanut packets. Doctors have to break their heads before writing prescriptions, because most of the drugs have side affects. They will be sued if something goes wrong. We have been very successful in sending many talented doctors, writers and politicians to the prisons and letting the criminals to roam around our cities.

     Praising the Sri Lankan regime for slaughtering thousands of innocents and letting the Tamils to languish in the concentration camps is another example that we have become real hypocrites and jokers who have bigger mouths, smaller brains and corrupt souls. Playing cricket with a country that is flowing with the blood of the innocent men, women and children, shows that we no longer have any moral principles to guide our lives. We are now even quite comfortable to sit and have tea with a Hannibal while his hands are still stained with the blood and his room is filled with the stink of rotting human flesh.

     UN Staffs along with the Sri Lankan leaders were happy to fly over the killing fields and blood stained beaches of Sri Lanka, while having their hands on knives and forks.

     Emerging powers are turning into blood sucking leeches

     The so called emerging superpowers are turning themselves into blood sucking leeches. Nobody can deny that these great nations have security concerns and they have to find a way to feed their own people. That doesn’t mean that they have God given right to slaughter the innocents in third world countries by giving support to the brutal regimes.

     We teach our children to share everything because it is always a sensible and the right thing to do. Unfortunately, the great powers in the world still haven’t grasped the idea that gold in the lands and oil in the seas can also be shared. One might be able to forgive, when a country steals the resources from another country but it is completely unacceptable when thousands of innocents are sacrificed at the feet of greedy and selfish giants for them to fill their Gold pots.

     If my neighbour wants to kill his step children and dump them in his back garden, I wouldn’t give him my shot gun just because he is offering me a free parking space in his garage. I wouldn’t feed my own children with the strawberries growing on the graves of the innocent children. I wouldn’t be going for his barbecue parties. I wouldn’t play golf with such a murderer.

     As a sensible human being, I would stop him from abusing his step children in the first place. I would call the police to save lives before it is too late. I would alert all my good neighbours about a tragedy unfolding in front of my own eyes.

     What China and some other emerging powers do to the vulnerable people of this world is nothing different from an evil man who give a shot gun to his neighbour in order to get free parking space and strawberries growing on the graves of the dead children.

     China supplied weapons and provided training to the fighter pilots in Sudan. China was giving interest free loans while the Sudan government was slaughtering thousands in Darfur. One doesn’t need to be rocket scientist to recognise that China was acting selfishly.

     China was complicit in Genocide as Sudan had opened up its oil fields for this sleeping giant. Western countries raised their voices but nothing was done to stop the genocide. As usual, the UN also stood back and remained powerless until everything was over.

     What happened in Darfur has now become a standard model for the big beasts to secure their strategic interests in many parts of the world. They try to find trouble spots in this world, identify the abusive strongman who is having an upper hand and make the oppressor happy by giving him the toys and tools that he enjoys the most.

     More than fifty thousands innocent Tamil civilians were slaughtered on the sandy beaches and jungles of Sri Lanka with the weapons and unlimited ammunitions supplied by the Chinese government. Three hundred thousands are now locked up in barbed wired concentration camps.

     UN and other international organisations have so far failed to break this cycle of crimes being committed by the superpowers in various parts of the world.

     “Exploiting someone’s weakness for their own benefit” is a simple phrase to describe the hell going on in Sri Lanka”. This is just like someone purposely creating a virus, spreading it and then selling the vaccines to make money. An internal conflict in Sri Lanka has now been made worse by its greedy neighbours. They are now lining up with spanners and hammers to fix the problems in Sri Lanka.

     The way they are trying to fix it, is quite like how any selfish person would approach an issue. A genuine mediator might get bad name from either parties of a conflict by being fair on both sides. This is what happened to the Norwegian mediators in Sri Lanka. But the ones that are now trying to fix Sri Lanka are helping the strong party to the conflict to destroy the weaker one completely.

     Cases are sometimes dropped in courts when the victims are dead or nobody is there to defend the victims. Helping Sri Lanka to kill the Tamils with deadly weapons and make them powerless is the strategy now being used by Sri Lanka and its greedy partners to deal with the conflict. Such method can’t be called as conflict resolution but it is an unfair conflict termination by eliminating one party to the conflict. This is almost like injecting poison and killing the patient to free him from sickness. This approach would enable the emerging superpowers to strengthen their ties with Sri Lanka and to carry on with their hidden agendas.

     No country is willing to rescue the dying people in Sri Lanka. What is happening to the Tamils in Sri Lanka is not a fairy tale, not a film but it is a real story. They are real people. Cruelty against them is real. Deaths of the thousands are real and the ignorance and arrogance of the mankind are also real.

     Masters of War and Silent Spectators

     It has taken quite a while for many of us to understand, that what was happening in Sri Lanka was not “War on Terror”. If the war was just against the Tamil Rebels, the so called saviours of this country would have taken all the necessary steps to protect the vulnerable community once the war was over. Rulers of this land are still tormenting innocent Tamil men, women and children inside barbed wired concentration camps, even after crushing the Tamil rebels with the help of China, Pakistan and India. This has become a shocking revelation and eye opener for many parties who were initially supporting the war in Sri Lanka.

     Sri Lanka wants to weaken the Tamils in order to establish a Sinhala Buddhist State. China wants to build ports in the South of Sri Lanka for military and commercial purposes. India wants to neutralise the Chinese threats and to establish its rule in the Indian Ocean. Pakistan has got its own agendas, what an evil combination. They have all been competing with each other to satisfy a country that is determined to flush out all the Tamils.

     Sri Lanka has now become a football ground for many countries and the rulers of this land are delighted to entertain the players. Every time a ball is kicked, it kills the innocents and the pitch gets flooded with the blood. Players don’t care about how many are dying because it is part of their evil game.

     China and India were the main players in the recent Sri Lankan war. They are still in the pitch, kicking the air. When people were dying in thousands, even the West didn’t do anything to stop; instead we also stood back and watched. We were more interested in finding out who was going to win the game in the Indian Ocean instead of focusing on the humanitarian crisis.

     UN has failed to stop the bloodshed. West has failed. All the so called Human Right organisations have failed.

     India and its role in Sri Lankan war

     India is a successful democracy with the population of 1.17 billion. So many different races, cultures, colours and religions live relatively peacefully. Most of the ethnic groups have their own States and every State in the country is given a degree of autonomy within this great Nation. People of India are mostly religious, hard working and non violent and they still maintain very strong traditional family values.

     India hasn’t got a consistent foreign policy towards Sri Lanka. RAW which is the external intelligent agency in India has done great damage to Sri Lanka particularly to the Tamil community. India can’t be fully blamed for this because the Sri Lankan regimes very often make unpredictable moves therefore India is forced to change its policies.

     As any other intelligent agency, RAW has a legitimate responsibility to protect India from its enemies, by being proactive. However, India could have achieved its objectives without helping the Sri Lankan government to slaughter thousands of Tamils.

     RAW provided military training to the Tamil rebels in the early eighties in order to challenge the Sri Lankan government that had closed links with the Western Countries including the US. Tamil youth were trained in different groups. RAW was also to some extent be responsible for fuelling enmity and competition between different Tamil organisations.

     Contrary to what many people believe, it is Indian’s interest to maintain a troubled Sri Lanka than a peaceful nation for India to spread its wings in the region. Disturbance in Sri Lanka would give an excuse for India to keep its Navy in Sri Lankan waters.

     Indian peace keeping forces and Tamil rebels fought an unfortunate war between 1987 and 1989. Around twelve hundreds Indian soldiers lost their lives and many thousands were wounded in Sri Lankan soil. This was a bitter experience for India.

     From year 2001 until the start of war in 2007, India kept a distance from Sri Lanka, although activities were going on behind the scenes. India stopped supplying offensive weapons to the Sri Lankan military.

     Indian involvement in recent Sri Lankan war was quite controversial. China and Pakistan provided with all the weapons and India provided the intelligence to the ground troops.

     India was well capable of stopping the war but it failed to do it even when thousands of innocent men women and children were perishing in Vanni. Some Indian leaders made contradictory statements, pretending like they were after peace while pressing the “Attack” buttons on their remote controls.

     India may have its concerns that Sri Lanka might become a launch pad for China and Pakistan in its own backyard. Letting the Tamils to die in the hands of the Sri Lankan forces was not an easy option for India either.

     India has no enmity with the Tamils in Sri Lanka but it has made a historical blunder by supporting a corrupt Sri Lankan regime to commit genocide against the Tamils just to satisfy a racist Nation, so that it can secure its interest in the Indian Ocean.

     Indian forces are now going to occupy the Vanni region with the excuse of clearing land mines.

     Nation of India has unfortunately deviated from its principles and core values, it was originally built upon. India might build rockets to the moon and giant monuments reaching to the skies but India will not succeed if it corrupts its own soul by aiding Genocide in other countries.

     India should dream of becoming a superpower not just by wealth and technology but also proving to the world as a defender and guardian of Human rights.

     Cries of men, women and children, who died in Vanni, are still echoing in the thundering skies of Vanni. These voices will keep on haunting every Indian because India has blood on its hands.

     China and its role in Sri Lankan War

     China has a total population of 1.33 billion. It is an emerging superpower that manufactures 50% of the items that is used in an average household in the West.

     In order to feed all its citizens, to have access to raw materials and energy and to protect its strategic interests, China obviously needs to maintain close relations with countries that have something to offer.

     A country that crushed 3000 protesters by rolling tanks in Tinanamon square, China hasn’t got a great reputation for human rights. If a country can’t treat its own citizen’s well, we can’t expect them to be concerned about people dying in other countries.

     China has been very aggressive with its foreign policies in recent times. This sleeping giant has woken up and giving support to many corrupt regimes on earth to fulfil its agendas. Sadly, China has directly or indirectly aided genocide in many countries including Sudan and Sri Lanka.

     Although, India provided the directions and intelligence for the Sri Lankan war, it was China that had given all the dangerous weapons and ammunitions to kill the Tamils in thousands.

     Most of Tamils who died in Sri Lanka were killed by Chinese weapons. Sri Lanka has allowed China to build a controversial Port in the south of Sri Lanka.

     Chinese intervention in Sri Lanka is not about defeating the Tamil rebels but to reward the country that had given the permission to build infrastructures in the strategically important Indian Ocean.

     Indian intervention in Sri Lankan war is more to do with stopping Sri Lanka going in the hands of other countries, than defeating the Tamil rebels.

     In summary, neither China nor India was keen on killing the Tamils. Just like China supported the Sudanese government to commit genocide in Darfur, they supported the Sri Lankan government to slaughter the Tamils in order to look after their strategic interests in the India Ocean.

     If China and Pakistan didn’t supply weapons to Sri Lanka, we wouldn’t have seen the recent war in Sri Lanka.

     West was deceived by Sri Lanka and its allies

     War in Sri Lanka was started even with the blessings of the West and Japan.

     Sri Lankan authorities with its PR partners, prepared a dossier to justify the war to the international community. This proposal was submitted to many countries including the EU, US, Norway and Japan.

     Sri Lanka and its allies were able to convince many countries that Tamil rebels were a danger to the whole world. They were able to demonise the Tamil community, with lies and deceptions for their own advantage.

     Comments made by some Western leaders and Japanese representatives during the war clearly showed that these countries were fully supporting the war in Sri Lanka but they felt very uncomfortable when the war became very dirty at the end. Many openly talked about post LTTE scenarios which means they all had the maps in their hands.

     One of the main reasons why the UN and Western countries couldn’t take a strong stand to stop the war even when thousands of innocents were dying was because there were all there when the button was pressed at the start of the War.

     Only difference is that the West never gave the approval to kill innocent men, women and children. Sri Lanka was not given the go ahead to send Tamils to barbed wired concentration camps.

     Sri Lanka has now deceived the western countries and revealed its true face. Sri Lanka lied to the whole world that it was conducting a war with surgical strikes and “Zero Civilian Causalities”. It also denied that heavy weapons were used against civilians.

     Torture, murder, rape and all kind of human right violations in the concentrations camps of Sri Lanka, are now sending shock waves across the world. Deportations of Western reporters, journalists and politicians from the Sri Lankan Airport and denial of access to the death camps of Sri Lanka for aid workers are showing the face of rebellious country that is willing go to any extent to defy international humanitarian laws.

     UN no longer has a backbone

     No wonder why the UN acted the way it acted during the Sri Lankan war. Staff members in the UN were simply dancing according to the different set of tunes that were played by various parties to the war.

     UN who is supposed to be a guardian of the oppressed and vulnerable, remained as a silent spectator while thousands were perishing in the sandy beaches of Sri Lanka.

     It is so obvious that UN was manipulated and was made to act in this way by some master magicians.

     Master magicians are now trying to save Sri Lanka

     China and India voted in favour of Sri Lanka in the human rights council. Their vote was like praising a murderer in a criminal court. Sri Lanka was congratulated by these countries for the war because they were also the culprits.

     These two countries have both been involved in high level PR campaigns to hide the war crimes committed by Sri Lanka. Arrogant voice from Sri Lanka in the recent times is to do with its close bonding with India and China.

     India has recently said that it would give aid to Sri Lanka in case if the loan from IMF is denied or delayed.

     Indian and Chinese media have constantly been releasing news, supporting the Sri Lankan government since the start of the war. Sri Lanka not allowing Aid agencies and Journalists to the IDP camps and to the killing fields is done with the full support of India. This is to hide the war crimes and to silence the witnesses of the war. Three doctors who served thousands of wounded in the killing fields are now locked up in Sri Lankan jails. India is capable of requesting Sri Lanka to release these doctors but it has chosen not to.

     Sri Lankan President and many cabinet ministers in Sri Lanka have recently acknowledged that they fought India’s War in Sri Lanka.

     Conclusion

     Indian and Chinese military, political and security leaders that are playing chess games in Sri Lanka, have caused so much death and destruction to the innocents. What is the point of becoming a superpower when the power is used to kill and destroy the oppressed and vulnerable people of this world?

     So called guardians of this earth can use buzz words like Terrorism, National, Regional and International security, Global warming and Energy in international conferences and pretend like the saviours of human race but it is all meaningless when the same hypocrites advise their own governments to aid genocide in other countries.

     Instead of playing Tic-Tac-Toe games in the Indian Ocean, China and India and even the West should sit together and discuss what they all want to achieve in the Indian Ocean. China with such a population has genuine energy requirements, India has its concerns and it is sensible for all these countries to find common ground and initiate constructive discussions.

     These emerging superpowers should help the oppressed communities in Sri Lanka and other troubled nations on this earth, instead of helping the oppressive regimes and turn these countries into a hell in order to feed their own people.

     Earth’s natural resources are being depleted so quickly. It is sensible for the energy hungry Nations to invest heavily on sustainable solutions like Hydrogen technology and Solar power. This would help us to save the planet and avoid human rights violations that are directly linked to the unfair competition between countries for raw materials and energy resources.

     Any country that fails to protect the oppressed and vulnerable on this earth, and having worst human rights records, can’t become a leading Nation no matter how many rockets it sends to the Moon.

     Fifty thousands were slaughtered in the killings fields by the Sri Lankan government with the help of India and China who are now acting like blood sucking leeches in the Indian Ocean. Three hundred thousands are now languishing in the death camps. Sri Lanka and its allies are doing all that they can to hide their crimes.

     Rwanda, Sudan and now Sri Lanka, it is another wake up call to the World.

     Genocide in Sri Lanka is real. Innocents are still being tortured, raped, murdered and starved. We have to make a choice whether to let the killings continue or we do something to stop it.

939. Sri Lanka is a TERRORIST COUNTRY and Roshan is Terrorist supporter

940. About 1,400 people are dying every week at the giant Manik Farm internment camp set up in Sri Lanka to detain Tamil refugees from the nation’s bloody civil war, senior international aid sources have told The Times.

     The death toll will add to concerns that the Sri Lankan Government has failed to halt a humanitarian catastrophe after announcing victory over the Tamil Tiger terrorist organisation in May. It may also lend credence to allegations that the Government, which has termed the internment sites “welfare villages”, has actually constructed concentration camps to house 300,000 people.

     Mangala Samaraweera, the former Foreign Minister and now an opposition MP, said: “There are allegations that the Government is attempting to change the ethnic balance of the area. Influential people close to the Government have argued for such a solution.”

     News of the death rate came as the International Committee of the Red Cross revealed that it had been asked to scale down its operations by the Sri Lankan authorities, which insist that they have the situation under control.

943. Injustice and Inequality in an unfair world

     “Life is not fair” is a phrase that always echoes in the far corners of this Earth. A fifteen year old boy may have to work sixteen hours a day, in a poor African country just to get one meal a day for his sick mother and five siblings. This may not be the case in many other places in the world. Even the rulers of some poor countries, could be using gold plated toilets and marble baths while the poor hunt for bread crumps in rubbish dumps.

     We are now so used to living with other people money without any shame. Resources on this earth are not distributed fairly among its inhabitants. We have built intelligent systems to steal, what belongs to others. Our banks no longer focus much on their traditional roles, instead they employ rocket scientists to build sophisticated gambling machines in order to rob the poor and give to the rich.

     Corrupt regimes, can to some extent be blamed for the misery of people in their lands. Instead of setting the people free from such regimes, some of the big players use this as an opportunity to exploit the vulnerable people for their own selfish gains.

     Value of life is not the same in every country. When the twin towers fell and three thousands perished, we all knelt down and wept. The whole world came to a stop for few minutes. We declared “War on Terror” against each and every single armed group in the world, including the ones that are genuinely fighting to free their communities from oppressive governments. Hands of the oppressed were tied and the weapons were given to many corrupt Nations. This is what we call Justice today.

     Four hundred thousands were slaughtered in Darfur, Eight hundred thousands perished in Rwanda because the terror regimes in these countries were driven by ignorance and greed. No leader in the world declared “War on Genocide” even after seeing millions of deaths. Instead, some of the world powers aided genocide in these poor countries.

     Although, the world media still stick with the figure of seventy thousands, the actual number of people, perished in the Sri Lankan civil war is around three hundred thousands. Fifty thousands were killed just within a short period of time in the recent war in Sri Lanka.

     We have millions of evidences to prove that a systematic genocide is taking place in Sri Lanka while the Nations are watching. Neither UN nor any other world power is being able to stop the madness that is still going on in this country.

     Security Council no longer agree on any decisions that are vital to save the vulnerable and oppressed people on this earth. Permanent members use their Veto powers just to cover their own dirt and to protect the other bullies in their club.

     Our parliamentarians are hanging on to their positions and they are forced to sort out their expense claims to keep their jobs. Leaders of some powerful nations are not being able to focus on the real issues because they are chased after, to give explanations for things they did when they were teenagers. Senior staffs in the UN no longer have the freedom to do what is right. They have to dance according to the tunes played by their masters who have conflicting interests. It has now become a common practice that the leaders in the UN and top diplomats speak the truth only after their retirement.

     We have robust systems in place, to protect the criminals and torment the victims. Our legal systems are so advanced that diplomats and politicians have to think hundred times, before making any comments. Just to make life easier, they keep their mouths shut even at times it is important to speak out.

     Even during a humanitarian crisis, our leaders would still act like electronic parrots who can only repeat the same recorded words that would comply with national and international laws, just to make sure that they hang on to their jobs. The world is dying for leaders who can at least use their basic common sense to help the persecuted people on this planet.

     We talk about political correctness. We are very concerned about little things but we turn a deaf ear, when the real-world calamities strike the mankind. We are planning to stop using Christmas lights in our towns because we think it will offend people from other religions. We are supposed to write “Traces of Nuts” on peanut packets. Doctors have to break their heads before writing prescriptions, because most of the drugs have side affects. They will be sued if something goes wrong. We have been very successful in sending many talented doctors, writers and politicians to the prisons and letting the criminals to roam around our cities.

     Praising the Sri Lankan regime for slaughtering thousands of innocents and letting the Tamils to languish in the concentration camps is another example that we have become real hypocrites and jokers who have bigger mouths, smaller brains and corrupt souls. Playing cricket with a country that is flowing with the blood of the innocent men, women and children, shows that we no longer have any moral principles to guide our lives. We are now even quite comfortable to sit and have tea with a Hannibal while his hands are still stained with the blood and his room is filled with the stink of rotting human flesh.

     UN Staffs along with the Sri Lankan leaders were happy to fly over the killing fields and blood stained beaches of Sri Lanka, while having their hands on knives and forks.

     Emerging powers are turning into blood sucking leeches

     The so called emerging superpowers are turning themselves into blood sucking leeches. Nobody can deny that these great nations have security concerns and they have to find a way to feed their own people.

I wouldn’t feed my own children with the strawberries growing on the graves of the innocent children. I wouldn’t be going for his barbecue parties. I wouldn’t play golf with such a murderer.

     More than fifty thousands innocent Tamil civilians were slaughtered on the sandy beaches and jungles of Sri Lanka with the weapons and unlimited ammunitions supplied by the Chinese government. Three hundred thousands are now locked up in barbed wired concentration camps.

     UN and other international organisations have so far failed to break this cycle of crimes being committed by the superpowers in various parts of the world.

This is just like someone purposely creating a virus, spreading it and then selling the vaccines to make money. An internal conflict in Sri Lanka has now been made worse by its greedy neighbours. They are now lining up with spanners and hammers to fix the problems in Sri Lanka.

     India and its role in Sri Lankan war

     India is a successful democracy with the population of 1.17 billion. So many different races, cultures, colours and religions live relatively peacefully. Most of the ethnic groups have their own States and every State in the country is given a degree of autonomy within this great Nation. People of India are mostly religious, hard working and non violent and they still maintain very strong traditional family values.

     China and its role in Sri Lankan War

     China has a total population of 1.33 billion. It is an emerging superpower that manufactures 50% of the items that is used in an average household in the West.

     In order to feed all its citizens, to have access to raw materials and energy and to protect its strategic interests, China obviously needs to maintain close relations with countries that have something to offer.

     A country that crushed 3000 protesters by rolling tanks in Tinanamon square, China hasn’t got a great reputation for human rights. If a country can’t treat its own citizen’s well, we can’t expect them to be concerned about people dying in other countries.

     China has been very aggressive with its foreign policies in recent times. This sleeping giant has woken up and giving support to many corrupt regimes on earth to fulfil its agendas. Sadly, China has directly or indirectly aided genocide in many countries including Sudan and Sri Lanka.

     Although, India provided the directions and intelligence for the Sri Lankan war, it was China that had given all the dangerous weapons and ammunitions to kill the Tamils in thousands.

     Most of Tamils who died in Sri Lanka were killed by Chinese weapons. Sri Lanka has allowed China to build a controversial Port in the south of Sri Lanka.

     Chinese intervention in Sri Lanka is not about defeating the Tamil rebels but to reward the country that had given the permission to build infrastructures in the strategically important Indian Ocean.

     Indian intervention in Sri Lankan war is more to do with stopping Sri Lanka going in the hands of other countries, than defeating the Tamil rebels.

     In summary, neither China nor India was keen on killing the Tamils. Just like China supported the Sudanese government to commit genocide in Darfur, they supported the Sri Lankan government to slaughter the Tamils in order to look after their strategic interests in the India Ocean.

     If China and Pakistan didn’t supply weapons to Sri Lanka, we wouldn’t have seen the recent war in Sri Lanka.

     West was deceived by Sri Lanka and its allies

     War in Sri Lanka was started even with the blessings of the West and Japan.

     Sri Lankan authorities with its PR partners, prepared a dossier to justify the war to the international community. This proposal was submitted to many countries including the EU, US, Norway and Japan.

     Sri Lanka and its allies were able to convince many countries that Tamil rebels were a danger to the whole world. They were able to demonise the Tamil community, with lies and deceptions for their own advantage.

     Comments made by some Western leaders and Japanese representatives during the war clearly showed that these countries were fully supporting the war in Sri Lanka but they felt very uncomfortable when the war became very dirty at the end. Many openly talked about post LTTE scenarios which means they all had the maps in their hands.

     One of the main reasons why the UN and Western countries couldn’t take a strong stand to stop the war even when thousands of innocents were dying was because there were all there when the button was pressed at the start of the War.

     Only difference is that the West never gave the approval to kill innocent men, women and children. Sri Lanka was not given the go ahead to send Tamils to barbed wired concentration camps.

     Sri Lanka has now deceived the western countries and revealed its true face. Sri Lanka lied to the whole world that it was conducting a war with surgical strikes and “Zero Civilian Causalities”. It also denied that heavy weapons were used against civilians.

     Torture, murder, rape and all kind of human right violations in the concentrations camps of Sri Lanka, are now sending shock waves across the world. Deportations of Western reporters, journalists and politicians from the Sri Lankan Airport and denial of access to the death camps of Sri Lanka for aid workers are showing the face of rebellious country that is willing go to any extent to defy international humanitarian laws.

     UN no longer has a backbone

     No wonder why the UN acted the way it acted during the Sri Lankan war. Staff members in the UN were simply dancing according to the different set of tunes that were played by various parties to the war.

     UN who is supposed to be a guardian of the oppressed and vulnerable, remained as a silent spectator while thousands were perishing in the sandy beaches of Sri Lanka.

     It is so obvious that UN was manipulated and was made to act in this way by some master magicians.

     Master magicians are now trying to save Sri Lanka

     China and India voted in favour of Sri Lanka in the human rights council. Their vote was like praising a murderer in a criminal court. Sri Lanka was congratulated by these countries for the war because they were also the culprits.

     These two countries have both been involved in high level PR campaigns to hide the war crimes committed by Sri Lanka. Arrogant voice from Sri Lanka in the recent times is to do with its close bonding with India and China.

     India has recently said that it would give aid to Sri Lanka in case if the loan from IMF is denied or delayed.

     Indian and Chinese media have constantly been releasing news, supporting the Sri Lankan government since the start of the war. Sri Lanka not allowing Aid agencies and Journalists to the IDP camps and to the killing fields is done with the full support of India. This is to hide the war crimes and to silence the witnesses of the war. Three doctors who served thousands of wounded in the killing fields are now locked up in Sri Lankan jails. India is capable of requesting Sri Lanka to release these doctors but it has chosen not to.

     Sri Lankan President and many cabinet ministers in Sri Lanka have recently acknowledged that they fought India’s War in Sri Lanka.

     Conclusion

     Indian and Chinese military, political and security leaders that are playing chess games in Sri Lanka, have caused so much death and destruction to the innocents. What is the point of becoming a superpower when the power is used to kill and destroy the oppressed and vulnerable people of this world?

     So called guardians of this earth can use buzz words like Terrorism, National, Regional and International security, Global warming and Energy in international conferences and pretend like the saviours of human race but it is all meaningless when the same hypocrites advise their own governments to aid genocide in other countries.

     Instead of playing Tic-Tac-Toe games in the Indian Ocean, China and India and even the West should sit together and discuss what they all want to achieve in the Indian Ocean. China with such a population has genuine energy requirements, India has its concerns and it is sensible for all these countries to find common ground and initiate constructive discussions.

     These emerging superpowers should help the oppressed communities in Sri Lanka and other troubled nations on this earth, instead of helping the oppressive regimes and turn these countries into a hell in order to feed their own people.

     Earth’s natural resources are being depleted so quickly. It is sensible for the energy hungry Nations to invest heavily on sustainable solutions like Hydrogen technology and Solar power. This would help us to save the planet and avoid human rights violations that are directly linked to the unfair competition between countries for raw materials and energy resources.

     Any country that fails to protect the oppressed and vulnerable on this earth, and having worst human rights records, can’t become a leading Nation no matter how many rockets it sends to the Moon.

     Fifty thousands were slaughtered in the killings fields by the Sri Lankan government with the help of India and China who are now acting like blood sucking leeches in the Indian Ocean. Three hundred thousands are now languishing in the death camps. Sri Lanka and its allies are doing all that they can to hide their crimes.

     Rwanda, Sudan and now Sri Lanka, it is another wake up call to the World.

     Genocide in Sri Lanka is real. Innocents are still being tortured, raped, murdered and starved. We have to make a choice whether to let the killings continue or we do something to stop it.

Indians like these in India, India don't need enemies from outside. Now, due to these Mafia gangs, the India more or less IMPRISONED by the China using her allies Pakistan, Nepal, Bangaladesh Burma and Srilanka. That is, China controlling ALL NEIGHBOURS of India. Instead of using the BRAVE BRILLIANT FREEDOM FIGHTERS LTTE to chase the China out of Srilanka even after LTTE never ever gone against Indian intersts until the war end on May 2009, India DUG her own grave by trusting the ANTI-TAMIL Gangs like Kerala and Brahmin gangs whose agenda is the opposite to the Indian National Security. After India voiced for political solution recently, Srilanka used CHINA to warn the India who now plays down in FEAR OF CHINA. Now the Indian so called intelligence agencies urging Tamilnadu human rights bodies to demonstrate against the Srilanka to use the demonstrations ONLY to warn Srilanka( NOT TO USE for the good of Tamils in the Srilanka)against Chinese influence. But Srilanka That is, India going to create another LTTE(probably PRO INDIAN LTTE)to force Srlanka not to with China.In near future, the Srilanka will face more bombings and killings in the south because India CANNOT AFFORD to lose the Srilanka also AT ANY COST. If India lost Srilanka, India will lose India also like the ill fated SOVIET UNION soon.

     COLOMBO: Strong support from India at the IMF board and the need to match China’s growing clout in the island nation have resulted in the US giving up its opposition to the international funding agency’s extending a $2.5 billion standby facility to Sri Lanka.
     Sunday Island reported that IMF Executive Board would meet on July 24 to sanction the facility following the submission of a letter of intent by Sri Lanka agreeing to abide by certain conditions imposed by the funding agency.
     On May 14, at the height of the war against the separatist Tamil Tigers, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had said that it was not appropriate for the IMF to give a loan to Sri Lanka in the absence of a resolution of the conflict.
     The US was leading a Western campaign to secure a ceasefire. But recently, after the war, a top US official met the Sri Lankan Foreign Secretary to say that his government had, at no stage, campaigned against the grant of the loan to Sri Lanka and that the IMF was guided by economic considerations alone.
     According to Sunday Island reason for the softening of the US attitude was Sri Lanka’s apparent willingness to carry out some structural reforms in its financial system and its impeccable record in loan repayment.
     ROLE OF CHINA AND INDIA: However, some analysts feel that the US may be influenced by a Sino-Indian factor too. Sunday Island noted that the Indian member on the IMF board, who represents a group of countries including Sri Lanka, had been strongly advocating Sri Lanka’s case.
     Then there is China’s increasing economic clout and a growing strategic interest in Sri Lanka, which has made Washington sit up. Like India, the US may be veering round to the view that the only way to prevent Sri Lanka from going wholly under Chinese influence is to meet Sri Lanka’s demands.
     The paper pointed out that it was when the West was putting heavy pressure on Sri Lanka to give in to the LTTE’s demand for a ceasefire, that China signed an agreement to give Sri Lanka a $1.2 billion long term soft loan for a huge housing project. The Exim Bank of China issued a letter of interest in funding the Matara-Kataragama railway.
     This railway would help build up the hinterland of the Chinese-built mega port at Humbantota in the deep south of the island.

958. Im sorry but i must protest the comments made by Roshan. You claim not to be a government spokesperson, yet you make such comments. Where does your information come from? As you should know by now, all local news stations cannot be trusted not to include propagandistic details. And international reporters are barred entry from the war zone, so their testimonies are next to useless.
     You say we should forget the Tamil struggle before the LTTE. That is at the height of incredulity. The LTTE did not exist, yet the Sinhalese majority government made moves to deny many of the Tamils their rights. No minority should be subject to this systematic attempt to deprive Tamils of their heritage. You say they should seek a homeland in India. Do they have reason to fight the Indian government?
     The LTTE does use terror tactics and i do disagree with this strongly. However, this does not give governments the right to indiscriminately bomb Tamil areas. Both sides have been accused of atrocities by each other and by international organisations. Yet you yould have us believe the government has done nothing wrong, and that the LTTE shoulders all the blame.
     You also state that the Indian Tamils brought to Sri Lanka by the British are lucky to be allowed to stay. Do you feel no sympathy for a displaced people? Why should they not be included in government? They are a people living in the country, working in the country. They paid taxation, yet they were not represented.
     One last point here. You say that Sri Lanka should have a Sinhalese leader, one that upholds Buddhism. America elected Barack Obama, a member of the MINORITY African-American nation. So why should a Tamil not be elected? And secondly, with such huge divisions in religion, how can a government support one and claim to give all others equal and fair treatment? That is absurd in the extreme. Governments should remain aloof from the intrigues of religion, but then again, playing the religion card guarantees votes doesnt it?

     And Alfonso, i resent being called the descendent of an English pirate. I am of Irish descent 😉

     [TamilNet, Thursday, 06 August 2009, 00:52 GMT]
     TamilNet recently compiled details on Tamil journalists and media workers confirmed killed during the height of war in Vanni, between March and May. The list is not exhaustive. These media persons, committed to the human cause and engaged in the noble task of bringing out information to the people inside and to the world outside, have laid down their lives in achieving what the 'omnipresent' international media shamefully couldn't accomplish. TamilNet will be serialising compilations on the losses of other humanitarian workers too in due course. http://www.tamilnet.com/art.html?catid=13&art…
