Sunila Abeysekera ..where are you?

another day , another bomb and many more innocent civilians dead and we all know its not the Karuna group or the Sri Lankan Army thats behind it. there is no other entity in Sri Lanka , other than the blood thirsty LTTE of Prabakaran who takes pride in massacre innocent civilians.

the LTTE has marked another victory in their campaign to wipe out innocent civilians from the Sri Lankan soil and that campaign is gaining momentum .by looking at the innocent and unarmed victims of the bomb in a public bus in Kattubedda,Moratuwa today all i have to ask is where are you Sunila Abeysekera?

where are you?

are deaf today? did you not hear the bomb?

or may be your' in US , talking to the UN about defending Human Rights in Sri Lanka.

either way Sunila , thank you for all the things you have done for defending Human Rights in Sri Lanka and we are proud of you for winning so many awards for defending rights...

just one small question...

do innocent civilians living outside LTTE controlled territory have human rights?

Aranthalawa , 21 years ago ..And LTTE ethnic cleansing of Sinhalese of the East

Twenty-one years ago, 45-member group of Buddhist monks, headed by Ven Hegoda Indasara Nayaka Thero were cold-bloodedly butchered by Tamil Tiger rebels of the LTTE in one of the planned campaign of ethnic cleansing against the Sinhalese population of the Eastern Province of Sri Lanka. Many monks were very young novice monks aged between 12-16 years old, sons of very poor families of Ampara, Monaragala and Batticaloa Districts.

Today the mastermind of that campaign, the LTTE Leader V.Prabakaran is hiding under a deep cave some where in the Vanni jungles, still carrying out cold blooded killings, sacrificing young lives of Tamils in the name of a separate state, while his conies who carried the actual attack have de-camped him, with 'Col' Karuna Amman in custody in a UK immigration detention center and his deputy Pillian ,soon to be Chief Minister of Eastern Province.

We have moved on with our lives, we are trying hard to give space to the LTTE and its sympathizers or least people who renounced the LTTEs path of violence like Pillian, but we have not forgotten that day and we will not.

No so called 'Civil Society Organizations' in Colombo lights candles in the name of the victims and the families of the Aranthalawa attack , for the so called 'Civil Society' its taboo or too nationalistic to talk about it. Sunila Abesekara will not make public statements on this day about the rights of the victims, nor will Jehan Perera organize a candle light vigil.

some day Prabakaran will pay for it and so are the rest of the dark hearts that fed him and his clan of killers.

groundviews crap and Publis's postmortem to EP-PC elections

i got a load of crap via Groundviews today , the so called citizens journalism site managed by CPA under the funding from USAID titled "the eastern provincial council elections:a brief post-mortem".

why i call it crap is for few reasons but thats a different story.may be i don't want to waste my or your time on going on explaining why its really crap. few words from the actual article below might give any one a hint , why i call it crap....

"Compounded with the patent illegitimacy of the manner in which the election was conducted, of which the most significant factor of course was that the central government's principal proxy in the East was armed and was not diffident about displaying the fact, it is difficult to share the government's sanguinity about the re-establishment of a great New Jerusalem of democracy in the East."

so whats this about this 'great new Jerusalem of democracy" that Publis seems to be so entrenched about?
what about the conduct of the election? in fact can you even think about a election in the east under the shadow of the murderous LTTE? the bloodthirsty LTTE led by psychopath V.Prabakaran has no bounds when it comes to waging violence against any practice of democracy and sadly Publis' failed to realize this.

"central governments principal proxy in east was armed..." ..right on mate, what do you expect anyway...? they are a break away gang from the LTTE ( and no different than the LTTE , after all they ARE a pack of terrorists ,till few years back!) and yes, they still have the culture of the gun with them. whole exercise of having them in this election, of the government taking them under the wing is about trying to give them some space, make them change., its not like the CPA organizing forcing trips on Federalism to the LTTE or providing 'capacity building' and 'confidence building ' support to the LTTE as they did in the past ( may be even now!!!?) , that the same treatment was given to the breakaway faction..

CPA paid lip service , and back behind the screen, forced the LTTE to "solve" the issue of the breakaway faction, so much so that once Sunil Abeysekera (so called defender of Human (LTTE) Rights) requested Erik Soilhaim to 'tell the LTTE leadership to take out " Kauna and his senior cadres.

and about holding on to the guns, well ..can you survive without he guns , as long as LTTE is there, not only in the North and East , but effectively rest of the country? LTTE has gunned down, blown to bits so many of their opponents, so much so that they amount to more that 15-20,000. thats a lot of people, not to mention a whole generation of moderate Tamil politicians that died under the hand of the LTTE, the so called liberators of the Tamil race.

so Mr.Publis , what crap are you talking about this New Jerusalem, when you have the blood thirsty pack of Prabakaran running around with guns and bombs?

Publis' ends his crap load of crap by saying;

"What is nevertheless surprising, however, is that the Rajapakse regime's conception of political self-interest did not extend to seeing the value of a free and fair election conducted through independent institutions, from the windfall of legitimacy of which, it could have been the primary beneficiary."

are you nuts or blind, or may be you're under orders form the LTTE, but make no mistake Mr.Publis this election is not about being free and fair, its all about giving a former pack of blood thirsty LTTE'rs a chance to experience democracy , so that least try and change them from believers in violence to practitioners in democracy.

that docent happen overnight, and that will take time, and we the people who are against the LTTE and its murderous ways, need to be bit calm and focused.

and then on the other hand if this election was about the LTTE , and had it being contesting , the Flower Road 'Civil Society' and its champions like Publis would make a terrible effort to justify the LTTE holding on to its guns and liberally discharging them on the innocent.

its very good to have LTTE mouth pieces like the Groundviews cause it not only keep the rest of us informed about the many ways the LTTE wages terror , especially psychological terror but also provides justification for more tougher action against pseudo liberal democratists like Publis, who is on the payroll of LTTE.

Prabakaran using an Armoured Personal Carrier?

was reading the 'Situation Report ' by Iqba Athas on Sunday Times of 16th March 2008 , on the events relation to the death and funeral of TNA MP Mr.Sivanesan and to quote Iqbal Athas;

" On Saturday morning, the body of Mr Sivanesan was taken from Kilinochchi to his home town of Mallavi. Thereafter, it was taken from village to village including Puthukudiyiruppu and Mullaitivu. Around 5.30 p.m. it was brought to the Kalachara Mandapam (Cultural Hall) in Kilinochchi for the public to pay their respects. Around 8.30 p.m. it was removed from there.

At the same time, members of the family of late Mr. Sivanesan, his wife, four children and the 13 MPs were transported in a vehicle to a location outside Kilinochchi. The journey had lasted almost an hour. There, they were ushered inside a building. Around 10.30 p.m. those inside heard the loud roar of the engine of a vehicle. They were not sure whether it was a Jeep or a coach. Moments later, they saw armed men walking in. [emphasis mine]

First to walk in thereafter was the head of LTTE intelligence Pottu Amman (Shivshankar) followed by the leader of the Political Wing (and former guerrilla "Police Chief") Nadesan (Balasingham Mahendran). Thereafter, Tamilendhi, the head of Finance Wing and LTTE leader, Velupillai Prabhakaran followed. At least one TNA parliamentarian said his eyes "immediately focused on LTTE leader's leg to see whether he had been injured or was using an artificial leg. He walked normal."

point "those inside heard the loud roar of the engine of a vehicle. They were not sure whether it was a Jeep or a coach" captured my imagination and come to think of it , Jeeps and Coaches ,however badly maintained don't do a laud roar. even if that's the case one cant believe Prabakaran is using such a beat up vehicle, considering the accounts by people who were close to him and also by the nature of luxury and exotic merchandise used by Prabakaran which were later captured by Security Forces in the past.

so what is it then , that brought Prabakaran to this 'secret' venue?

i think with the increased LRRP and dissident LTTE attacks against the LTTE targets in Vanni has forced Prabakaran to abandon his entourage of Pajero/Prado jeeps and use a armoured vehicle. LTTE has over the years captured number of APCs (Armoured Personal Carrier/wheeled) and even a couple of IFVs ( Infantry Fighting Vehicle/Tracked) from the Security Forces and it may be the fact that they have mustard one of them as Prabakarans means of transport.

APCs/IFVs offer a relative amount of protection from landmine/claymore mine explosions and they are also quite reliable when it comes to negotiating off road/difficult terrain conditions and even has the capability of fording limited depths.plus they support comms/command control gear so its a very versatile option as a mobile command platform while offering armoured protection too.

Security Forces top brass do use APCs for VVIP transport and also as command vehicles most of the time and its quite possible that the LTTE is using the same tactics now , not only in order to transport Prabakaran but also as mobile command post , thus preventing a security risk of having him visiting one or few command centres .

over the time Sri Lanka Army and Navy has lost few APCs of different types including Buffels , Unicorns and Saracens , and even a couple of late modle BTRs. also some people say we have lost few IFVs including the Chinese made ones and a Russian BMP.event though the military claim most of these captured assets were destroyed by areal attacks we experianced the LTTE using captured T-55 from Elephant Pass , against a Navy Dovra in the 1990s.

although the possibility of use of the captured T-55 is very marginal considering its cumbersome maintenance and steady stream of spare parts , use of APCs or IFVs is quite high. hence i think the Military establishment should spend some time on this as if Prabakaran is really using such an armoured vehicle it will much more easy for a LRRP unit or a Jet to pick this target .

since there are more specialised and not so complicated ways of taking out a armored vehicle and also having being able to ID using thermal imaging with its distinctive thermal signature , Prabakaran traveling in a armoured vehicle will be a rich picking .

War to end by April (2008?) -Kohona

a friend of mine sent me an e-mail and i want to reproduce a portion of it below...

 

" I met Dr. Palitha Kohona (Foreign Secretary) a couple of days ago and
during the conversation he said that if all goes well, by April the
war should be over. I hope this is true. What do you think? Am I an
idiot or is this possible? You can respond with one word. Just say
'idiot' or 'possible'. Based on the feed back, I hope to write
something about the war."

 

i sure hope this is true and pray this happens. i just want to see the end of the LTTE and its genocidal war against people of Sri Lanka.

 

10th anniversary of LTTE attack on sacred Temple of the Tooth Relic in Kandy

today falls the 10th anniversary of the LTTE attack on the sacred temple of the Tooth Relic , the Sri Dhalada Maligawa in Kandy.Dhalada Maligawa is the most sacred of all the places of Buddhist worship and considerd as some thing that's equal to the Mecca for Islam or Jerusalem for Jews and Christians.

LTTE on 25th January 1998 exploded a powerful bomb laden truck within the temple precinct and followed by a attempt to raid the temple with 2 more suicide bombers.however the suicide bombers were prevented from entering the temple by two heroic Police personal but 13 people lost their lives and many more got injured in this attack.

this attack was clearly an attack to create a Sinhala-Buddhist backlash against the minority Tamils as the LTTE expected island wide riots and mass scale attacks against innocent Tamils and Tamil owned businesses in the rest of the country.however soon after the attack all most all the leading religious leaders in Sri Lanka and India condemned the heinous attack and called on the LTTE to take up responsibility .a backlash that the LTTE expected never materialised , however there was intense pressure from the public and mainly Buddhist organisations towards then President Chandrika Bandaranayake Kumarathunga to act strongly.

interestingly , no so called 'Civil Society' leader nor so called International Community condemned nor stated a single word against the LTTE over the attack. they simply issued statements that basically said they were sad and hoped things get better.

no one today talks about the LTTE targeting places of religious worship, let alone sacred sites nor the LTTE use of such sites and places as cover for launching attacks against military.today we hear so much about the LTTE or 'Tamils' being denied of so many rights but fails to ask how much the LTTE has done to destroy rights of believe a religion , place to worship etc.

LTTE continuously use places of worship as launch pads for military attacks and use them in a two pronged strategy. primarily LTTE used the sacred or holy places as cover and expect a military counter attack on the site as a example of SL Military attacking religious sites on a secondary basis. this is a time tested tactic for the LTTE, which they horned against the IPKF when they were in North and East Sri Lanka.

the LTTE used and continue to use the grounds around and within the sacred Madhu church to launch attacks against the military and during these days , with the continuing military operation against the LTTE in Mannar , the LTTE uses the Church grounds to launch Artillery attack against the Military forces. this is a known fact and for some reason the Church of Mannar and the Bishop of Mannar seems to be silent on this. when the SLMM was here , they too denied such use and went to the extent of stating that they have found 'evidance' of Military attacking the Church and its vicinity.

10 years on after the deadly attack against the Dhalada Maligawa , we not only remember the attack but also realise well , what the true face of the LTTE is and also take solace in understanding that even with such a devastating attack against the Buddhist faith , we the Sri Lankans , especially the Sinhala-Buddhist never yielded to terror nor wielded violence against innocent Tamils (against the wishes of V.Prabakaran ).

iTRO crap on abrogating CFA

this is bit too late but never late when it comes to TRO. after putting TRO plainly out of business by Sri Lanka and mainly US and few other western governments , suddenly it has come to the limelight .

 

well not so much of a limelight but at least it had issued a statement on the GoSL'S abrogation of the CFA and surprise surprise , it got to D B S Jeyarajs blog , while no other print/electronic media nor any other blogger noticed it.

 

whats really funny is that now the good old TRO is called ..iTRO ... may be after the hype of the Apple and its iPhone and iPod, the main face of the TRO to the rest of the world Arjunan K. has signed the statement , with address and phone numbers of a location in London ,England.

 

we all know the story of the TRO, no need to repeat it again and again but my question to Arjunan is who are you trying to fool here?
iTRO is 'shocked and concerned' about the GoSLs move to abrogate CFA?

did they not realised that during the CFA , from the start till the end ,iTRO or its predecessor TRO's master the LTTE was killing innocent people and breaching the CFA on a daily basis?

dose Arjunan know ( or may be he was the one!) that TRO was a front for LTTE in not only channeling funds but also in purchasing arms and other warlike material ?

dose Arjunana realise many of the LTTEs assassins and bombers came to Colombo under the guise of TRO staff?

K.P Reggi , the head of TRO is now and was before a fully fledged LTTE military cadre and former area leader ,who not only conducted terror attacks against the Military but also against civilian villages in Pollonnaruwa/ Kantale area?

only the stupid Tamils who live in western countries who are blindly believe LTTE will create a Eelam in SL will read and believe this nonsense from iTRO . as for the IC , they don't give a damn about Sri Lanka.

 

one other thing about the iTRO is that it seems now its relocated to UK and again and gain we see that UK soil being used to wage terror against Sri Lanka .

 

whats the stand of the UK government on this ? do they tolerate LTTEs terrorism against Sri Lanka while , they the UK government fight each and every other rag tag terrorist group in the world ?

 

why the double standers then?

 

Prabakaran celebrates the end of CFA in a bloodbath

the whole world knows how the blood thirsty LTTE led by V.Prabakaran celebrated the end of the ceasefire agreement yesterday.Prabakaran ended the ceasefire officially not in North or Eastern province of Sri Lanka but on a remote road leading to Buttala from Kataragama in the Uva  province and a chena in a remote area of Monaragala.

 

we all saw the dead bodies,stacked on each other  of the people who died in the Prabakarans attack on a bus in Okkampitiya , yesterday.  dead included many small children.those innocent and poor people were not shareholders of the war,separate state nor within the spear of power and influence. at the same time these innocent people had no connection to the President , Defence Sec or the Army commander or any other important person within the Sri Lankan State.

 

for these people , wither the CFA was alive or not was not a issue, it was the same for them. the piece of paper which is called the CFA agreement (which by the way the original signed doc has gone missing, according to the Govt..maybe at 5th Lane residence of Ranil,where he might be reading it every morning before he starts his work!) is not a thing for them,for the only war they know that existed in this country was the war to stay alive.

 

its was the same war that the people who died on the Kebithigollawa bus had to face and it was the same war that the farmers who took water from the Maavil Aru anicut for cultivation had to fight.it is the same war that the Tamil community who live beyond the check point in Omanthai , under the hands of Prabakaran who fight on a daily basis.

 

since the dawn of civilisation the worst scourge faced by the humans was violence and terrorism is the pinnacle of that scourge.during the rain of Hitler , terrorism was called 'facisim' and the height of fascism is the terrorism of the modern days.

 

if someone takes revenge on fellow humans for the single intention of capturing or seizing power , then that person is a monster and Prabakaran is a monster beyond imagination.he is in fact far beyond Hitler when it comes to the amount of cruelty he had imposed on the human race.

 

with the advent of the ceasefire in 2002 , prabakaran had the chance of entering a fair process of Political engagement, yet for him it was a sojourn to re arm and re group his bad of murderers. had Prabakaran had a genuine interest in Peace and a peaceful settlement to the ethnic issue, then he could have used the opening when Mahinda assumed the Presidency, however instead Prabakaran decided to increase the scale of LTTEs ceasefire breeches in ten fold and enter a era of mass scale assassinations and bombings. after waiting patiently for few months the Government started to fight back, throwing Prabakaran to a rapid pace of withdrawals and defeats.

 

today Prabakaran bombs and kills people in desperation ,knowing that he will face the same fate as that was met by his close confidants such as Shankar,Tamilchelvam, and Charles and understands very well that his days are numbered.

 

although Prabakaran is living in air conditioned very deep hole somewhere in Killinochchi or Mullativu , he will be met by a bunker buster bomb pretty soon and when that happens President Mahindas promise of handing over Prabakara to India will be fulfilled though it will be in form of a box.

 

i hope that happens soon , so that the poor innocent people of this country can still cram into a bus early morning and go to places of their work and to know that their children got to school on time, and not to fear the deaths awaiting them by the road and all the Tamils who live overseas who blindly fund a bloody war in Sri Lanka can use that money for something more benevolent and also the so called international community to focus more on talking peace with Taliban or the Iraqi insurgents and entering to ceasefire with them with the facilitation of the Norwegians .

 

 

annulling the ceasefire and the crocodile tears of the bogus 'civil society'

ceasefire ceased to exist for me the day LTTE killed Lakshman Kadiragamar MP and minister of Foreign Affairs.minister Kadiragamar,a Tamil and believer in democracy and non violance was killed by the LTTE not because he was a crusader to liberate the Tamils from the LTTE but because LTTE leader V.Prabakaran and his cohorts realised Kadiragamar  was a moderate Tamil leader who could not only reach out to the rest of the Sri Lankans , whole world how had a pinch of interest in happenings in Sri Lanka and the Tamils in the rest of the world.

 

when Kadiragamar was killed, the bogus 'civil society' only made vague statements and called for all 'parties' to adhere to the ceasefire. whats the f... , all parties to the CFA was adhering to the ceasefire minus the LTTE at that time , but for some unknown reasons they never mentioned the LTTEs hand in killing Kadiragamar nor Kethesh Loganadhan , another Tamil moderate killed by the LTTE during .. of course the ceasefire.

 

so called civil society of Sri Lanka , who constantly we hear on mainly English language print and electronic media , who 'represent' rest of the civilians in Sri Lanka , in overseas mainly in Western countries are a bunch of wankers , spineless crowds who pay lip service to the LTTE. for them 'loss' of Tamilchelvam was for more serious then scores of civilians getting killed by road side bombs or Tamil politicians from opposition political parties in the hands of the LTTE.

 

day has come for Dr.Jehan Perera,Dr.Kumar Rupasingha,Prof.Jayadeva Uyangoda, Sunila Abesekara , Nimalka Fernando and rest of the so called 'civil society' band wagon  to understand who the real enemies of peace in Sri Lanka is and why they should stand against not only the ills of the Sri Lankan government ,as they do all the time but also the scourge of the LTTE too.
