Srilanka : 37 civilians killed in the 'ceasefire period'

Unless sri lanka allows international media or aid agencies, we cannot believe the announcements made by sri lanka. This ceasefire is an eyewash to satisfy international pressure.

This is the reality of their 'ceasefire period'. Purely a statement to satisfy the world. All those people who see nothing wrong with what the government is doing and keep on promoting government propaganda, it is high time you accepted reality. And those who genuinely care about the innocent civilans, don't bother responding to those timewasters who can't stand the fact that you actually have a heart.

And no, before anyone comments, I'm not denying what the ltte is doing.

This ceasefire drama is a hype created by medias and sirlankan propaganda machines.  Also this idea came up after the international communities started protesting after SLA intensified the attacks and started using chemical weapons.  This kind of dramas never worked before also.

As a Sinhalese , I also strongly condemn this incident. Some how , Raja Pakse Government making Srilanka looks like a real genocide country. But actually not all sinhalese hate tamils. Only few persons those who are in power doing all these non sense for getting votes of low end peoples.

Most of this article is about Falls propaganda. Those who are Tamils please go to http://srilankan-diaspora.org/2009/04/bbc-interview-by-dr-rajasingham-narendran/

There is a interview given by Dr. Rajasingham Narendran who visited <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 />Sri Lanka

This interview is in Tamil Please listen to it this is a MUST WE NEED TO LISTEN

Sudarsana ,

Can you stop your media fight by now ?

Killing of innocents by any of the side to be condemned. Don't think if you close your eyes , the whole world becomes dark.

This is not Sri lanka - where all the news should be filtered by the government. We are in democratic world , here nobody stops to read any kind of news.

After all this long fight , even though if LTTE is defeated , do you seriously think Sinhala and Tamil can live together ? 

There was a demo of 200000 Tamils assembled at London , do you seriously think that they will be happy to accept srilanka as a single nation ?

Your neighbor India has population of 70 Million Tamils - almost everybody hates Srilanka / Sinhala. Do you think you can live alone in this world without any help from the world. ?

Have you every heard any single LTTE raped sinhala girls/ ladies ? Do you deny that sinhala soldiers never raped tamil women?

Today you are fighting at the tamil soil - i.e vanni - do you ever think why LTTE never came to colombu ?
is it not possible ? Those who are having hundreds of suicide bombers can't do anything to your colombu ?

Do you think the flights of LTTE can't bomb the civilians ? all the way they came to colombu - is no civilians in colombu ?
They will never , because they fight for freedom.
they will get.

LTTE is Tamil , Tamil is LTTE - The problem of race came not because of LTTE , There was a race issue - from that only LTTE born.

Unless otherwise if you destroy whole tamil race in srilanka - you can't destroy LTTE . Your continous fighting at East Eelam shows the same........!!!!!

So , understand all sinhalese - regonise tamil as a soverign nation - we all live together side by side peacefully . otherwise this fight will go on till a last tamil live in this world.

When Death and life given as two option , everyone prefer Life only. But if every LTTE choose to death , believe there is some strong reason behind the same. If you believe , you will understand tamil's pain , if you understand the pain ,you will come to a right conclusion.

Peaceful Srilanka is the basic need for everyone - Even to us.

Hail Srilanka , Hail Tamil Eelam.

Two countries in Single Island.

You are talking nonsense who says that LTTE did not come to <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 />Colombo

They have killed numerous innocent civilians Just do some google search http://www.google.lk/search?hl=en&q=LTTE+KILLINGS&meta=&aq=f&oq=

This interview is in Tamil Please listen to it.

 

LTTE has killed thousands of innocent civilians including Sinhala Tamil, and Muslims. Almost all Sri Lankan Tamils intellectuals had been Murdered by the LTTE.

 

You asked weather we Sinhala and Tamil people live with each other. I think you must have not come to Sri Lanka at least for the last 20 years because if you do this question could have been a foolish one because more than 50% of Sri Lankan Tamils live with Sinhala and Muslim people.

 

You asked about the Rape and killings of Tamils to answer this I will ask you to do a very simple thing that is do some research about in the world media like Aljazeera, BBC, CNN. Try to find a single incident in the resent time relating to Rape but if you go to Tamilnet and other pro tamil sites will contain fabricated information but not in recognized media.

 

My last point is if you are a influential person and if you have any intention to see innocent Tamils alleviate from this pathetic situation try to visit IDP centers and try to talk to your own people and see what happen.

 

To me LTTE = JVP  = Terrorism

 

There was a sinhala terrorist group call JVP Sri Lankan Government successfully eradicated it as the same way LTTE will get Eradicate.

Hi ,

I can give you much more higher google searches for the barbaric acts of srilankan government. We want peace , your attitude reflects the srilankan mentality. If we keep talking like this the issue will never end.

If Srilanka is so specific about the LTTE killings , yesterday Karuna was the part of LTTE , now he becomes part of Government - is government accepts no mistake on Karuna ?

If not , why they made Karuna as Minister ? 

They want to destroy tamils fight for freedom , which LTTE will never give up....

////You asked weather we Sinhala and Tamil people live with each other. I think you must have not come to Sri Lanka at least for the last 20 years because if you do this question could have been a foolish one because more than 50% of Sri Lankan Tamils live with Sinhala and Muslim people.  ////

Do you seriously think they have no issues? They do have much higher issues - but media never allowed to say what exactly they feel. I have many blogging friends from Srilanka - most of them never allowed to openly say what they feel , what problem they have.
If they say , very next day white van in  front of their house. Is it a way for a government to arrest their own peoples ? Is it the right way to arrest udayan editor by using a white van?

/////You asked about the Rape and killings of Tamils to answer this I will ask you to do a very simple thing that is do some research about in the world media like Aljazeera, BBC, CNN.

Why I have to ask to CNN / ALJAZEERA MY DEAR SUDHARSON.?

Do we have press freedom ? What Srilankan government says these world medias reflect.....If not why the hell srilanka never allows medias in war zone ? 

///My last point is if you are a influential person and if you have any intention to see innocent Tamils alleviate from this pathetic situation try to visit IDP centers and try to talk to your own people and see what happen...///

I'm not that much influential person. Even If a pistol behind me , i will talk want the pistol person want me to talk. Release the pistol , safeguard the future of the person and ask to him to talk to the world media - without any fear ,

you will have the truth.......................!!!

If you are such a influencial person and really care about tamils / srilanka - please do the same....that will make my / many tamils stand very clear and we will take sinhala flags in our hand on very next day if sinhala is not guilty.

Again , I say - unless otherwise tamils get self determination , this issue will never end..........even if pirabhakaran died , there will be 100s of pirabhakaran will be there. The problem will be much worse. atleast now you have only one single point to talk.

My view and majority tamils view is

Tamils = LTTE = Freedom 

See you again with your own opinion next time. that will be better than somany links you have given. 

Hello Ajay,

It is true not all free media was allowed in I think what ever the government says main reason is if you are going to LTTE held area you have to broadcast what the LTTE says they will not allow a slightest criticism towards them on the other had as you say there is a certain unlawful conduct by the Government but remember these Tamil journalist did criticized the Sri Lankan Government, if they do it to the LTTE they will be killed, unless they have security.

 

Any news coming from the LTTE control area has done by the LTTE, no free person will be able use the internet in those areas.

 

You have to realize the fact why other world leaders are not reacting to this issue as you want. That is because they know LTTE is a Terrorist organization. Very resent example is Canadian Tamil Diaspora want to lift the Terror band from the LTTE but <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 />Canada very correctly said they will not do it.

 

It could be very hard to imagine the ground situation in Sri Lanka at the moment Sinhala people do not have any hate towards Tamils and Tamil people do not have any hate towards Sinhala but  I have to admit that when I say about Tamil people there are Elite Tamils that have a certain pain because LTTE gave them some mental prestige since they were not affected directly from the LTTE, in their harts they liked LTTE but if you see from the person who had been under LTTE control area he or she will say a completely different story. Those people hate LTTE this is the bitter truth.

 

At the moment all sensible people should do is to put pressure on LTTE to release those innocent people.

 

Talking about Karuna he has become a Minister so, from that can’t you see that Sinhala people are not against tamils gaining higher positions, remember even Late Hon Foreign Minister Laksman Kadiragama Was a Tamil.

 

If LTTE renounce Terrorism long ago they mite have given some sort of Control.

 

My only question is all this time what did Tamil People gain from this “LTTE”?

 

I think if you ask this question from your self very honestly you will see what I mean.   

 

PS well you can say most of the Tamils gain Refuge Visas and Foreign employment. If the war ends in Sri Lanka they will have to come back. This is the very reason of concern to these people not the killings due to the War

By your answer , I understand your view.

I'm telling Srilankan government is not open to approach this race issue and you are telling LTTE also the same. fine , then for you both are in same distance.

Shall I make it clear ? 

Peace - Everybody wants the peace. But do the srilankan government is ready for the peace or what ? By detroying tamil's demanding force they want to keep suppress the tamils as always.

***

My only question is all this time what did Tamil People gain from this “LTTE”?   I think if you ask this question from your self very honestly you will see what I mean.      ///

Just for example , When somebody is rapping your mother , if I ask you why you are fighting against the person rapping , will you be angry or not ?  the same way your question making angry to me. whether we get anything or not , we fight with our enemy.

whether we win or not , we will dye fighting with our enemy.

Please note down in your book today - Tamils and Sinhala can not live in single country peacefully.....!

/////PS well you can say most of the Tamils gain Refuge Visas and Foreign employment. If the war ends in Sri Lanka they will have to come back. This is the very reason of concern to these people not the killings due to the War /////

No one in this world can make fun of the peoples those who are fighting the freedom / rights in this ridiculous way my dear sudarsana.....!

MY DEAR TAMILS FIGHTING FOR OUR FREEDOM....

SEE THE MENTALITY AND WAY OF THINKING OF SINGALA PEOPLES....!

2 young man are fasting for last 10 days , without food , without water - do you seriously think this is to safeguard the refuge status ?

Do SRILANKAN Government never feel shame for their own citizens living as refuge in other countries ????

Do SRILANKAN goverment ever asked Indian Government to send the back the refugees living in india as they already captured 90% of lands in east & north?

Why no ?

because they are very happy when tamils leave sri lanka.

again I tell you ,

Tamils are not against Srilanka , we want to live peacefully in our own places which our father , grandfather lived years on years.

please leave us to live freely.

with lot of pain in the heart ........................

Ajay

Dear Ajay,

 

Well are you recommending to negotiate with the LTTE? Regarding this issue as Sri Lankan who have living in south I have classic and tragic examples.

 

First let me elaborate some history first  this shows how Sinhala and Tamil politicians cheated both races. In 1956 Mr SWRD Bandaranayaka used sinhala only bill just to for the main reason to gain votes in my opinion he cheated Sinhalese people at the same time this is the first time A  Sinhala government did unfair ting to Tamils. Actually Tamils did not asked to give their own language because most of the Tamils at the time was not familiar in Tamil but only used English.

 

By making Sinhala only what Mr Bandaranayake did was he shut down all accessible Knowledge sources, since all the information and most of scientific studies were done in English and almost all the books were in English. Its true few Sinhala people manage to learn English but they are in minority. I think Mr Bandaranayaka being a oxford university scholar knew what he did was wrong. This is the sad thing. What the Tamil politicians did was  they never did much service to their own people and they blamed Sinhalese Government to gain votes

 

Tamil Politicians Blame Sinhala Government  = Sinhala Politicians Blame Tamil Leaders = VOTES

 

This is funny but this is what happen. In these process Tamil politicians invented LTTE Time to come country did not manage to develop jobs and sinhala and Tamil youths got frustrated. By the way at that time there had been a friction towards two communities. In 1959 and 1983 there had been valance ignited by both sinhala and Tamil politicians and if you know in 1983 most of the Tamil people had been saved by their Sinhala Neighbors same ting happen in Tamil areas there Tamil Neighbors saved Sinhala people.

 

How ever like LTTE rose up in 1987 Indian intervene this time. JVP (Sinhala youth group) started a bloody insurrection. they said Sri Lankan Government surrendered to <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 />India. Well if you know this period you mite be quite familiar with the issue “Rape” this when large scale raping started when the Indian Army started fighting with the LTTE.

 

In the south when the JVP start havoc how did the Government control it  they treated terrorism with Terrorist tactics they setup Para military groups and killed more then 60000 Sinhala youths by looking at the present situation you mite say Mr. Mahinda Rajapakse is a saint.

 

 

With in 3 years Sri Lankan government crushed the JVP and they came to Democratic system. It was very painful but it was the cure. Well recently JVP leader Mr Somawansa Amarasinha said  they learn from it.

 

So my opinion is to crush the LTTE in similar manner. There will be humanitarians who says war is wrong and put up peaceful slogans not to kill people impliedly what they are asking is a long standing crises.

 

It is true the condition is very sad but we have to use our commonsense, Tamil Diaspora need to put more pressure on the LTTE to release civilians. That is the only thing that bring relief to the people.

 

If you look at this in much intelligent way you will see this Terrorist problem has killed more than 200000 both sides. This is like using 4 nuclear bombs.

 

In Hiroshima 60000 people got killed when US used a nuclear Bomb

 

What this Pease brokers are saying is well “please save about 5000 people but make sure to use some nuclear bombs!!”

 

Most of the people who talk about “PEACE” what actually means is getting some “MONITORY PIECE “ for them to keep.

 

Remember the saying known Deville is Better than unknown Angel.

 

Well Sir I hope I didn’t annoyed you but think about it.!!

  

      

Since you have raised the issue of Rape I can say chance of becoming even a single case is quite remote not mainly because Sinhala military behave well because if they capture any female they will be handed over to women’s military section. Now in Sri Lankan Army Women play a very big part. And it was well monitored. Try to listen to other media as well and see weather you can find a single case in recent history.

I use to go to all media including Tamil net and I can get a idea about it.

This what UN says http://webcast.un.org/ramgen/ondemand/pressbriefing/2009/brief090415.rm

Also look at this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMnI0YmpHjk

It is only clear from the comments here that these two tribes can't get along. They fight in Sri Lanka. They fight outside. They fight here in NP too. 

It seems only logical to split them into their own regions and ask them to behave.

I don't see any harm in dividing a country for peace than staying together for war.

Tamil Politicians Blame Sinhala Government  = Sinhala Politicians Blame Tamil Leaders = VOTES//

some what I could agree. but this is not enough reason to kill innocent tamil civilians and it can't justify our relations mass killing............!

***

///It is true the condition is very sad but we have to use our commonsense, Tamil Diaspora need to put more pressure on the LTTE to release civilians. That is the only thing that bring relief to the people.//

let us say around 300000 tamils live inside safety zone. may be around 500 LTTE will be their or even 1000 ??

among 1000 LTTE , may be 50% of LTTE occupied in fighting ? correct ? listen carefully........

only 500 LTTE can able to stop 300000 tamils from coming out of safetly zone ? Is it possible ? Is it really possible ?

is it possible to  500 LTTE can carry all  300000 tamil peoples everywhere they are travelling? Do you think argument of human shields by LTTE makes any sense ?

first understand - LTTE not came from the sky............! every tamil family has atleast one LTTE cader in vanni. they will not leave LTTE area , because they feel that is their own place. 

***

//Try to listen to other media as well and see weather you can find a single case in recent history.///

Listen to media which is completeely filtered by Srilankan Government ? Best Joke.

It is only clear from the comments here that these two tribes can't get along. They fight in Sri Lanka. They fight outside. They fight here in NP too.

It seems only logical to split them into their own regions and ask them to behave.//

Dear Mr Robert ,

Thanks for your comment. It is not our aim to fight each other. We have no reason to live together in a single country from the history. Dravidan race and Aryan race fighter together for centuries. The same fight is continuing till now. 

///I don't see any harm in dividing a country for peace than staying together for war.//

This is what I'm keep telling. even if you crush LTTE thoroughly sinhala and tamil can't live peacefully in a single country. So , for peace must divide the country. I don't see any alternate. If not today - may be in next decade.!!!!!!!!!!

If we are going to divide are you suggesting to give power to Prabakaran ?
Well open your eyes he is a fanatic, just have a look at heavy weapons that had be uncovering from the Sri Lankan Army. He manages to get those weapons at the time of last peace process.

What we can do is once all the people have liberated form the area we can ask them to decide their own political option, after all they should be the people who should decide.

Only at that time we can ask any international organizations to monitor that election to make sure it has done free and fair manner.

I am sure you all will get surprised when the results are out.

However there will be a huge disappointment will take place in Tamil Diaspora if men women and children get free from the LTTE and come out safe from the IDP centers.
Oh by the way now western relatives can speak to those people who are at those centers, because Telephone facilities were given there.

Well Ajay I think latest news from AFP will answer your question.

“LONDON (AFP) — The British and French foreign ministers said Wednesday that Tamil Tiger rebels in Sri Lanka are using civilians as human shields, which was preventing them from leaving the conflict zone.

In a joint statement issued in London, Foreign Secretary David Miliband and his French counterpart Bernard Kouchner urged the Sri Lankan government to declare a new ceasefire to allow aid in and civilians out”

You are talking about the news journals which are like parrots to say what your srilankan government says. We have our efforts from inside safety zone directly.

Let us say , the people said we want to be a free country , will you accept ? if so , they are asking for free country from decades together. they are asking for their rights from decades together ...why you singala people never listen? 

They are not asking a separate state. All they are asking is to have the freedom to do a job respect their elders have their cultural values. In a nutshell they want better management development in rural areas that’s all. All this time when we talk about development only <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 />Colombo and nearby cities got developed resources are not spread to rural areas. This discrimination happens to sinhala and Tamil rural people. But when Tamil politicians talks  they will interpret the situation and put the “Ethnic conflict label” so the world get mislead.

 

Now there is no war in Eastern Province they do their own farming and people hate LTTE you can find the same situation in Jaffna. Please try to visit those places and talk to your own people to get the real picture.

Well regarding the media filter well you are wrong my friend. There is no such ting called media Filtering we use techniques to  watch almost all the media, well you are clearly wrong on that

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/17/world/asia/17briefs-rebelscrit.html?_r=1

Fine Sudarsana ,

You sinhala keep killing tamils and your president rajapakse will be hanged in world court for the genocide of tamils.

we will fight for our freedom in all possible means... . as our fight for freedom is very genuine and correct , we will win a seperate country in prabharakan's lifetime itself. 

we never last our confidence and we will never. 

today our tamil eelam is hell because of singala army who is occupying tamils homeland. we tamils will make that a heaven for our next generation. we will never leave our country in a bloodpath for next generation eventhough it is the wish of sinhala government.....!

Time will show you the path but if for any reason Mr. Mahinda should be brought forward to international courts what do you suggest for Prabakaran?

Well as the same way before Mr Mahinda get punished what about Mr. Gorge W Bush Who invaded <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 />Iraq?

 

Its better for you people to wake up from the Eeelam Dream. Sooner the better.

 

Its better for you people to wake up from the Eeelam Dream. Sooner the better./

Thanks for your care. bye for now...!

Bye Take care

Have a look at this movie clip it shows How hard Prabakaran had been fighting for Tamils rights.
