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.

Pirabakarans state of the Terror adress

prabakaran will in few hours time deliver the ,LTTEs version of 'state of the Union adress' called the State of the Terror address. what is accepted as the LTTEs annual terror policy speech where Prabakaran will spell out the steps and direction the LTTE will take in attaining their terrorist aspirations.normally this speech has attracted a notable amount of interest from all quarters of interested parties in Sri Lanka and rest of the world and most notably the Tamils who sustain Prabakarans reign of terror from oversease will look in to 'new' rays of hope and vision to expand the war  while , Tamils living under oppression of the LTTE will see this a another sounding of their death knell.

 

Tamilnet reported the SLAF attacking the LTTEs voice of tigers radio station in Vanni just few hours ago and i guess this time it will not be a live broadcast like last times and most probably this time it will be more of a pre recorded message , aired from a overseas location and not from the deep hope where Prabakaran is holed up, somewhere in the deep jungles of Vanni.

 

whats ironic is Prabakaran is more close to the burning Magma crust of the earth than the suffering Tamils of Vanni on the ground, and i guess in a way Prabakaran must be feeling the heat from the hell , being still alive.

 

for the rest of the people of Sri Lanka , this event is on not so much significance let alone the hustle they face on such a day as successive governments tend to take the particular day as a high threat day , thus increasing levels of security.

 

although till recently governments paid some attention to the content of the speech , but since last few years that had changed as more and more the LTTEs real interests keep coming into light.

 

considering the message delivered in the last couple of years, any one can come to the conclusion that this much envisaged speech of Prabakaran is nothing but simply giving on the stand that theirs is No Hope for Peace- War is the only option kind of rhetoric and only last year Prabakaran declared they had 'exhusted' all options for peace and are giving last chance to the Sri Lankan government to come up with a 'solution' .

 

but what solution they want? after four or more Peace efforts from successive governments and the last Peace Accord where a CFA and a number of rounds of peace talks under Ranil Wicramasingha and Mahinda Rajapaksha governments , LTTE opted to walk away from talks when they realised the Governments efforts were serious and the International Community was hell bent on supporting any solution that would have come out of talks.

 

so back to the question of the what solution, well as i see it there can be no solution to this problem in the eyes of the LTTE as for them the only solution is the continuation of war and noting else.

 

so today in few hours only thing Prabakran can say is that they are ' fed up with the MR government and they see no reason to continue with search for Peace'  and may take the opportunity to pull out from the CFA , thus ending the presence of SLMM and the Norwegian Peace meddling ( ooops , sorry Mediation).

 

few other options Prabakaran can take up is -

 

1.declare a Unilateral declaration of Independence ( we've gone through a UDI before.. and know what happened to Mr.Perumal afterwards..)

 

2.call international community to accept LTTEs right to self determination ( dah...!!!! )

 

3. declare all out war on the Sri Lankan state ,claiming that the state is waging a full scale war against them ( they have seen noting yet..)

 

either way , I'm not surprised, and will not be. one thing that I'm certain is that , Prabakaran will never never opt for a another chance of peace talks.

 

all Prabakaran wants is war , destruction and death. that's the only way of life he knows and he is comfortable of . so today in few hours time , from a very deep hole somewhere in Vanni ,he will go on air (if he can get to do that ) or may be its already recorded and ready to go off, from a overseas location to spell out whats next in store for Sri Lanka and Tamils of the world over.

 

either way, all he can say is 'Sinhala government is hell bent on waging war' ' our peace efforts are being ignord' 'Tamils have no future under the current Government' etc.

 

Prabakaran might go forward and declare independence unilaterally or may be call the International Community to accept the LTTEs right to self determination, but all this he will do to ensure one thing..

 

WAR and CONTINUATION OF WAR .

 

26 November - day of Patriots and Monsters

26th November is in many ways monumental to Sri Lanka. it was the day in 1818 the British crushed Sri Lankas first war of independence ( although somehow we were being taught to call it a 'Rebellion' by the same masters who re-wrote the history of Sri Lanka) , when they executed Monarawila Keppetipola , Dissawe of Uva. it was Keppetipola Dissawa who led the first war of independence against the British ,following the transfer of sovereignty to the British after the capture and the end of King Rajasingha II and the Kandyan dynasty.

where as the first monumental event was of a historical and national significance , the second monumental event is the birth of V.Prabakaran in the Jaffna Hospital. V.Prabakaran rose up to be the leader of LTTE, the Tamil terrorist organisation who for the last 30 or so years had been waging a war and reign of terror to curve out a separate state for minority Tamils in North and East of Sri Lanka.Prabakaran is nothing but a monster in human form , wielding a reign of terror , death and destruction not only in North and East of Sri Lanka , but also in every corner of the Island, beyond the seas in India and and many other un named , unknown places and at high seas.

not only Prabakaran had killed many hundred thousands of Sinhaleese and Muslims of Sri Lanka but he has a wiped out several generations of Tamils , including Tamil academics, religious and community leaders , elected representatives and politicians.The LTTE, under the leadership of Prabakaran has done more damages to the cause of the Sri Lankan Tamils than any other .

The LTTE has sabotaged every attempt to a reasonable political solution to the ethnic problem of Sri Lanka. The sole aim of the LTTE is the establishment of a one-party fascist regime by the name 'Tamil Eelam' in the North-East of Sri Lanka.

hence , November 26 th is a monumental for Sri Lanka.

on one side there is Keppetipola Dissawa , a man who fought for the freedom of his people, who was killed in the hands of a colonial oppressor and then there is Prabakan who continues to kill people in the name of establishing a separate state for the Tamils of Sri Lanka.Prabakaran has hijacked the Tamil cause with his gun totting terror tactics.he leads an organization with a fascist tendency. Its only aim is to establish a fascist regime in the North and East of Sri Lanka.

Due to its fascist leaning, it has made a self-proclamation as the sole representative of the Tamils. To maintain the status-quo of the sole representation, it has eliminated all the democratic Tamil leaders or subjugated their parties through their terror tactics.

To name a few Tamil leaders, brutally murdered by the LTTE are, A. Amirthalingam MP and Tamil National Leader, V.Yogeswaran MP, A.Thangathurai MP , Mrs. Sarojini Yogeswaran Mayor Jaffna , Dr.Neelan Tiruchelvam MP and S. Sivapalan of Tamil United Liberation Front the TULF Mayor Jaffna , Kumar Ponnambalam of the All Ceylon Tamil Congress the ACTC, Sri Sabaratnam Leader of the TELO, K. Padmanabha Leader of EPRLF, Sam Tambimuttu MP and his wife Kala Tambimuttu of the EPRLF and recently Luaxman Kadiragama, MP and former Foreign Minister of Sri Lanka.

The leaders who succeeded them were cowed down and compelled to be subservient to LTTE. it was Douglas Devananda MP , a Tamil from Norhtern Sri Lanka who once led a Tamil Separatist group against the Government of Sri Lanka, who denounced violence and joined the mainstream democratic politics ,who as a Minister of the current government went on record recently and said " in the four decades of confrontation, not a single Tamil leader has been murdered by the Sri Lankan security forces" .

There are only a handful of democratic Tamil leaders who have still escaped the LTTE death trap, him being one amongst them and one who had escaped at least four attempts on his life.

Prabakaran's reign of terror extended its tentacles to our neighbouring Indian soil and globally as well. In the Indian soil, they killed former Prime Minister of India Rajiv Gandhi and Sri Lankan Tamil leaders. They murdered those who opposed them in the European countries. For example, T. Sabalingam, one of the founder member of the Tamil militant movement in Sri Lanka, was murdered in France.

LTTE extort money from the expatriate Tamils by threatening that their kith and kin, living in Sri Lanka will have to face the consequences, if they do not meet their demand.They also assassinated President Premadasa and attempted on the life of President Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga, who as a result, lost her sight in one eye.

Prabakaran thrives on the Tamil cause and has stood in the way of negotiated settlement within the frame work of united Sri Lanka, fearing, such arrangement would not give room for his fascist rule of law. LTTE aspire for a separate piece of land 'Tamil Eelam' to impose their fascist rule. As a result, the Tamils' aspiration for a power sharing arrangement in the areas of their habitation, remain unfulfilled to date. This is a vicious circle which the LTTE cleverly manipulates and thrives upon.

Further, the LTTE survives on the frustration of the Tamil people caused by the after effects of the war they initiate. In an environment of war, people undergo a lot of hardships such as; large scale displacements, non-availability of essential goods and services, black marketing, non-availability of proper educational, health and infrastructure facilities.

The LTTE capitalizes on this situation to win over the support of the Tamil people locally as well as internationally, This is also another vicious circle, the LTTE rides on.

so different to what Keppetipola Dissawa had envisaged , and ultimately brought to an end of his life.Keppetipola not only took personal responsibility for the acts of war and violence that we committed in the name of free Sri Lanka but also yielded to British use of terror tactics against the civilian populace of the Uva province in particular during the ensuring battles against forces of Keppetipola in 1818.

Keppetipola never used the collective suffering of his people to further his war , nor quelled dissension within his ranks.

his war was to attain freedom and restore rights and liberties of the common man of Sri Lanka and not curving out a separate state. it is sad that remembering Keppitipola Dissawa today , for somehow rests with the JVP and not the common man , while the so called 'Civil Society' of Sri Lanka and some pseudo 'free' media elements gather around to silently ( not so long a ago , very openly ) celebrate the birthday of Prabakaran , a monster of our times.

rest assured , come 26th November, next year I'm not going a write a word about V.Prabakaran nor about his LTTE , and way the things are going its also not sure if Prabakaran might make to the next years birthday , but will concentrate more on the first war of Independence and remember Keppetipola Dissawa and the rest of the patriots who had given life for a noble cause and not a cause that surpasses any myth.
