Unconfirmed reports had indicated for years that the LTTE was developing a small suicide submarine. This is not an impossible task considering the group managed to launch surprise attacks using light aircrafts smuggled into the country." (READ FULL ARTICLE HERE)
The Army's Task Force 3 has obtained conclusive evidence of this technology. We have also received credible information from sources within the Navy that the Dvora blown-up recently off the coast of Mulaitivu was by a suicide submerged vessel, possibly a human torpedo/water scooter.
The Dvora was patrolling seas 9 nautical miles off the coast of Mulaitivu when the blast occurred. Given the nature of the blast and the amount of explosives used and the distance from the coast to the FAC, a suicide frogman can be ruled out. A similar blast sunk a Navy Logistics Ship moored to the Trincomalee Naval Yard last year.

Have u got citizenship for Refugee visa?
Everything's going to change after the massive demonstrations planned in Toronto, 5,000,000 people expected, even more maybe.
SL will soon see that violence is never the answer and correct themselves. LTTE chose not to enguage them at this same low level.
That is why they were withdrawing!
San wts the source?
bhairav my offer to sk is open to u too. what say u?
SK,
You called me a racist without knowing me. I have Tamils among my best friends, and I know who they feel about lttp.
You always call Sinhalese modaya's. I think you reach some kind of 'orgasm' by doing that. I never understand why you think you are far superior than others when clearly not.
Sri Lanka is a free country compared to many other countries in the world. Does lttp allow free speech, free protests etc in their controlled area
You got a free school and tertiary education, free health care and pay very little tax (compared to Australia and other countries) and still ungrateful to her. It clearly shows what type of person you are
If we have problems within communities we can certainly solve by negotiation if not for people like you without blowing others brains out.
marksman sk is under my desk now. no point talking to him. come about in half an hour.
Bhairav,
"5,000,000"???
No cents??? Waste of money.

What is the activity of the you Sakkiliyas planning during the weekend ?
Do you clean all the public toilets in one day ?
Your game is over man... what ever you try .... your 40% contribution so far will not give you any ROI . . . Save your sanitory income at least for your kids . . otherwise they will also follow the same Credit card frauds in patrol sheds and ended their lives in cleaning the toilets . . .
Indian Army gets Amphibious Capability: Is this a threat to Sri Lanka?
Sri Lanka needs more capabilities in this area too!
Indian Army to have amphibious force soon
29 Jan 2009
NEW DELHI: Modelled on the lines of the Indian Navy's marine commandos, the Indian Army will get its own amphibious force specialising in land and marine warfare by next month, an official here said.
"The amphibious brigade of the army has been undergoing training for over a year at Thiruvananthapuram and will be formally launched by the defence minister (A.K. Antony) next month," a defence ministry official said.
Named the 91 Infantry Brigade, the amphibious force has a strength of 3,000 personnel. “The soldiers have been drawn from the Sikh, Gorkhas and Madras regiments,” the official added.
Amphibious warfare is the utilisation of naval firepower, logistics and strategy to send troops ashore. In the modern era, amphibious warfare persists in the form of commando insertion by fast patrol boats and mini submersibles.
“In modern warfare, an amphibious landing of infantry troops on a beach is the most complex of all military manoeuvres," an army official said.
"The undertaking requires coordination of numerous military specialities, including air power, naval gunfire, naval transport, logistical planning, specialiased equipment, land warfare, tactics and extensive training in the nuances of this manoeuvre for all personnel involved,” the official said.
A well-planned and executed amphibious operation - basically a tri-service operation launched from the sea by carrying soldiers and their weaponry on a ship and affecting a landing on enemy shore - could change the course of a war.
The Indian Army has been augmenting its amphibious capabilities for long. One of the most advanced amphibious warships of the Indian Navy, the INS Shardul, was affiliated to the 5 Armoured Regiment of the Indian Army last year.
Loaded with state-of-the-art equipment, INS Shardul is an amphibious warship capable of transporting personnel and accomplishing all objectives of beaching operations.
The 5 Armoured Regiment holds some of the most potent and advanced tanks in the world. Since 2002, the regiment has been at the cutting edge of the mechanised operations.
There are plenty of moda Bandas who would plant a few parcels if the price is right.

Peter..
You always call Sinhalese modayas. I think you reach some kind of 'orgasm' by doing that. You 'think' you are far superior than others when clearly not. It could be kind of genetic defect some of you have, but I am sure it is only a fraction of you have the problem because there are plenty of good guys..

The 48 hour undeclared ceasefire by the President is a Military and a Diplomatic masterpiece.
As the diplomatic value of this is quite obvious, the military significance can overlook even the diplomatic gains.
Imagine in a Cricket match, after a drinks break the fielding captain can effect a match winning bowling change! I think 48 hours is a good time for the big fast bowlers to warm up and reach the top of their run-up.
The big fast bowler then oversteps and bowls a no-ball?
The suspense is killing me!
SK,
its a huge event not for sorry lanka modaya

Less than 10 LTTE sakkiliyas were on a hunger strike on rotation basis in Sydney, Australia on Thrusday. Those 10 LTTE monkeys at Martin Square were holding placards in front of a hut which was used to house Fasting monkeys..It was a none event and no one was bothered by the LTTE monkeys who Aussies thought were as some Aborogines.
Two thangatchchies at the same time handed over some bills which most passers by threw in to bins...
Oh these MAVEERS...
Pranab visit disappoints CPI
My Comment at ExpressBuzz.com
India and Tamil Nadu created, trained, supported and funded the LTTE. Throughout the last 30 years, arms, ammunition and other contraband was smuggled to the LTTE from Tamil Nadu. Twice in the past, when the LTTE was about to be eliminated, the Indian government interfered in our sovereign country to prevent it. Now that a courageous Sri Lankan government is finally poised to eradicate this menace to both Sri Lanka and India, India is interfering again on the pretext of "saving civilian lives." Are you saying that you have no influence at all with your creation, the LTTE, to force them to release the civilians held prisoner as human shields; to prevent them from hiding behind the sarees of women for protection? If you have no influence, why don't you BUTT OUT OF THIS; we'll solve it our way. Is this how you plan to win our sympathy for India's own struggle against terrorists and separatists?
Marksman,
You sounds bit like my next door neighbour...

Thank you for correcting my earlier post :)
I went near the place some sakkiliyas were doing their protest in Sydney.
I spat right in front of them.
Thuk!
They can't do anything just keep arousing disgust.
To Genuine Bhairav, Mahen and all LTTE diehards who claimed that LTTE never killed SLA POWS...
=======
...
During the battle the Sri Lankan military lost at least 1,200 troops. The Sri Lankan Military alleged that 207 soldiers who had surrendered to the LTTE were executed after they were herded together, doused with gasoline, and burned to death.

However now is the payback time for LTTE barbarians who are paying with intrest for the crimes of 30 years...
SKiliya,
Where are you loser? Hiding in a bunker with Prabha?
Marky,
I am thinking, there will be a bigger crowd during the weekends..
However Aussie have more important things to worry than fasting monkeys.
Anyway it is still a concern and hope relevent people in GOSL will counter this effectively.
guys
let sanity prevail.
what is all this nonsense, why are you allowing the monkeys to drag this blog to such low standards, why are all drooling over a terrorist blogging with a female handle.
please , please these are dyas to celebrate and talk about amuch saner world sand LTTE. We should be enjoying a good discussion.
stupid pigs,the LTTE still controls Putthu and Challai,as well as Visuamadu.We control the whole 30-kilometer coastline,last night´s Sea Tiger operation is a proof
seems like iqbal athas has withdrawn tactically from writing defense matters. ha ha ha!

"A total of 226 patients in the company of their 139 relatives and bystanders were finally picked from PUTHUKKUDIYIRUPPU and brought down to VAVUNIYA by ICRC and UN...".
This should be on headlines wherever possible with "ICRC and UN rescuing civilians from LTTE HUMAN SHIELD".
What a shame, the same people LTTE supposed to "Liberate" are being liberated by IC. Every time there is a protest by brain washed diaspora, this news should be spread and highlighted.
L in LTTE refers to "Liberation."
That is liberation of tamil eelam not tamil people. I dont know how anybody could be so stupid as to not know that.
We all know LTTE liberation means Prbhas ass. But innocent bystanders in Sydney and London don't. LTTEs name of the game is brain washing. It's amazing how easy to brain wash non-Sri Lankans. Some only read headlines. CNN in US only shows maximum about 5min news highlight about Sri Lankan per day. LTTE has been riding on this ignorance for decades. What I am saying we should leverage diaspora "concern" about trapped civilians to our advantage by highlighting news like "ICRC and UN rescues LTTE Human shield" everywhere to "educate" IC.
So an office conversation in Sydney/London will be,
Sue:
"There is a protest about some stranded civilians in Sri Lanka"
Mark:
"Oh I saw a headline, that they were recursed from LTTE human shield by ICRC and UN"
Sue:
"Oh is that so, ok then, let's go and have some sex"
Swarnajith Udana,
"Thanks Rover:
I am not even a false tiger.
Yes, I am a Sri Lankan in my heart and soul, even though I try to think of me as a world citizen.
How can I forget the country where I took my first breath. How can I forget all the workers including Tea workers who supported my
education.
I am a humanist Sri Lankan. So still If my country does wrong I cannot depend it, I love my people (Sri Lankans) too much to do that!
But our finest moment is near. I hope and dream
we will make new Sri Lanka for all of us!
Thanks!"
Yes, prospects for the future of Sri Lanka are looking bright indeed, if we play our cards right.
So nice to know that there are other humanist patriots out there!
Anyway, bro, humanism will be hard to be easily inserted into a society that has been scarred by a 30 year war (there are people out there, whose propensity for revenge is greater than pacificity). If not introduced properly, humanism will not be a economically stable strategy, against the concept of terrorism/fascism (perhaps you can elaborate on this point further? - got to run again). This is why all parties engaged in this conflict should be educated.
Anyway my friend, lets hope we can aim to have a compassionate and liberal society in Sri Lanka, where all our citizen can live in peace.

Hi All,
According to Mahen, LTTE supporters is going to have a protest at London (Millhill Lane, London) tomorrow.
All need to do necessary steps as much as possible to stop this gathering by telling London police, authorities, SL embasy etc.
Good luck Mahen...
It will be the last and Final rally in support for the LTTE.
All who supported the LTTE, please help poor Mahen by attending. (He is getting paid for it).
Also, Please ask the LTTE to release the innocent Civilians, without playing with their lives and to face the SL Army as true tigers, without hiding in between the legs of the innocent civilians like kittens.
It's time for all who funded the LTTE to revise what happened to their Billions of Dollars and what LTTE have done for the tamils, with that money.
IT'S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN
On either of side of Martin Pl there were another two groups of people who were enlightening those who showed interest in the hunger strike. They explained that the fast was more about saving a ruthless terrorist organisation than saving innocent civilians. They were quite convincing and backed up their case with statements of UN, Amnesty International and ICRC that requested LTTE to release civilians

Good morning boys.
Am I the only sane person here?
The street boys of Colombo are so nasty. Some of you guys are pretty funny though.
Mahen/Tomorrow’s event in London – as usual, mahen gets the wrong end of the stick.
Let me clarify the situation:
Tomorrow - Saturday 30th of January - the London based Sri Lankans will be holding a VICTORY PARADE in Central London. All are welcome – please bring a large SRI LANKAN FLAG.
As tomorrow’s weather is expected to be extremely cold, Westminster Council has granted permission for a bonfire. The VIM organising committee has suggested that this is a good opportunity for ex LTTE supporters to get rid of unwanted clutter, such as flags and posters.
Note, this is not an LTTE event. In any case you won’t be allowed to display any LTTE paraphernalia.
Asanka,
More information will be available tomorrow.
Guys,
I am off.
Have a great time.
Mahen.. Good luck.

i don't know whether it's just me but this article shows that defencewire is a liar. just days ago it reported that the dvora only took reparable damages but now in this article it concedes that dvora was severely damaged. besides a friend of mine today went to a funeral of a navy person who is said to have been in the dvora that took the hit and his body was said to have been received in a sealed coffin indicating that the body was damaged beyond recognition.
shame on you defencewire!
Hi good day every one. I have been visiting this site for some time now as it give advance info bout the situ in SL.
But I have seen some strange developments here.
Most of us here are not tolarent of different view points of other bloger which is distrutive in the long run
As I'm new here I'll stop at this and add on as the time pass,
Pansilu bro,
where r u?
Peter Ratna, I thought your blog was open to opposite opinions. would you care to explain why you deleted my comment. it had no offence. it only had facts and you deleted it coz it proved you were completely wrong with your theme on the success of those 15 men missions.
i thought you had balls to win an argument on merit. time and time again you prove your cowardness.
I have assigned my bitch a task. Looks she haven't done that after all.
"..Mahen said...
Requesting all LTTE supporters to attend the tomorrow event in London..."
Thanks Mahen for the news. I just forwarded this to the Mayor of London, Metropolitan Police and US Embassy in UK.
Becasue LTTE is a banned terrorist organization and any covert or overt support for a banned organization will have to go to old bailey.
It seems most of the bloger here live outside SL and are out of touch of reality
GOSL should put this naive UN High Commissioner of Human Rights into perspective.
She sounds like she is reading only pro-LTTE BBC and AP articles, and have no clue about the ground realities.
On the other hand, GOSL should not allow any non-patriotic media organisation to be in Vanni until the LTTE is completely wiped out.
As soon as these LTTE payrolled media comes, they would divert the focus bringing in various nefarious accusations and issues that would drain GOSL energy. It is better to hold off them until we finish off LTTE. It may be only another month or two.
Apart from ICRC, no NGO or INGO should be allowed in Vanni. The Colombo and North UN offices of Sri Lanka is fully infested with LTTE goons and agents, thus they should not be allowed to carry out any non-humanitarian tasks.
Here is that naive woman has to say,
The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay said Thursday she was deeply concerned by reports of the rapidly deteriorating conditions facing a quarter of a million civilians trapped in the conflict zone in northern Sri Lanka, and of alleged human rights abuses and a significant number of civilian casualties, as well as the huge displacement.
Pillay also expressed concern at the highly restricted access to the Vanni region for aid agencies and impartial outside observers, including journalists and human rights monitors.
'The perilous situation of civilians after many months of fighting, multiple displacements and heavy rains and flooding is extremely worrying,' Pillay said. 'The lack of access for independent monitors, humanitarian workers and the media only adds to concerns that the situation may be even worse than we realize,' she added.
The High Commissioner cited reports of forced recruitment, including of children, as well as the use of civilians as human shields by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). She also condemned the fact that safe zones promised by the Government have subsequently been subjected to bombardment leading to civilian casualties.
'People trying to flee the conflict areas are reported to have either been prevented from doing so, or to have been arbitrarily detained in special centres,' she said. 'It seems there may have been very grave breaches of human rights by both sides in the conflict, and it is imperative that we find out more about what exactly has been going on. It is also urgent that civilians in the north can find safe shelter, away from the fighting.'
Pillay noted that along with the Secretary-General and other heads of UN agencies, she had already expressed her concerns directly to the Government of Sri Lanka. 'We are all seriously alarmed by the situation,' she said, 'as are many of the NGOs and other organizations operating in Sri Lanka .'
Pillay said the conflict had reached a critical stage: 'While the Government has made military gains on one hand, the rule of law has been undermined on the other. The killing of the prominent newspaper editor Lasantha
weli, you are absolutely right that quite a lot of bloggers here are detached from reality. both pro and anti ltte folks.
Lalith / Kumari
What is this problem of Linga?
It is a ritual among our tamil brotheren to wership it and that is there concern. Why worry over it
MR came all the way to the last few inches in wanni only to declare a ceasefire when the tamils in droves protest in streets.
yah right! eat more and more punnakku you sibernews mutts!
weli, is it "realistically" good for the tamil diaspora to continue to support a separatist movement in SL?
i ask this from you coz you seem to be "realistic".
Dear Isuru,
In another two or three generations the ofspring of the dispora ( both Sinhalese and Tamil) will not know where Sri Lanka is.
Only the ppl leving here have to it out.
Only the people living in Sri Lanka have to live it out
Maskman;
Peelamists organised a protest/hunger strke/ signature collection campaign in the heart of Sydney (Martin's Place) yesterday and today. But their hunger strike can be a farce, because I haven't checked if they stay night or weekends.
One good thing about these hunger strikes is that you can share the commitment. I mean you can work on shifts. :)
In that way they can conduct an eternal hunger strike. i.e. there is someone in hunger all the time, but not the same person.
So unless you verify the individuals, no way you can conclude. There will be someone there 24x7.
There were about 200-300 people and obviously some unsuspecting locals could buy their "genocide" story. They also brought elderly to make up some numbers.
Can't help. Sadly SL govt is not taking any measures for such events. Even if we do, public opinion will always be behind the underdog.
But tell me this, after all these lobbying and protests for 30 yrs, how come pussycats have been receiving lesser attention than Tibet, Burma et al.
A lie is short living, truth is eternal. That's how I take it.
Other thing worried me was there were lot of young people there, who I am not have no idea of reality, so I suspect brain washed by their sinful parents.
I doubt how much they'd understand it. Unless there is a pussycat mafia to organize they will be lost souls.
As i say, this diaspora boyz will make Mahabooru day for a mega date of a diaspora chick. It's the hybrid generation which has parental links but no first experience. For them parental tales are fairy tales. There will be at most two hybrid generations, and then after full integration would happen. My two cents of sociology on migrant communities. [you can bargain for less :)]
I wonder what our gov/consulate office is doing. We might get some pressure if these 'barbarians' continue
Indeed. SL foreign service has been very weak, otherwise this organized diaspora bullshit and its bastard child pussycats cannot exist at the first place.
We only had a genuine foreign minister for say two years in last 61 yrs. That was Kadir. A game chandiya [or tawume chandiya] can become any other minister, but FM has to be a great diplomat. I'd love to see a good diplomat enter parliment form national list and hold this role.
Anyway this Boggles bogs the nation. Anyone would be better.
NDTV
big scene developing in tamil nadu. students joining in the protests with vaiko. (hope the low caste studentss don get thrashed to death in the confuson ha ha ha!)big demos.
palitha kohona was interviewed. he answered the presenter well. presenter allowed palitha to say a lot against vesapillai & his convictions in sl & india.
NDTV is very neutral & has no sympathy for terrorists apparently.
but obviously they have to be mindful of the large nadu viewers.
Viko and his follower can say many things. why bother about it. I we Sri Lankans where Singhalese, Tmil, Muslim or what ever it is can live in harmomy that is the main thing. We use all our enegies for distrution and not for buildining a new nation and a new society
Sorry for the missinng words. I'm new here
We are talking of battles here. The war has being going on for thousands of years as some one pointed out here. I think it was Ananda-USA.
It seems that after thousands of years of sacrifies both our races haven't got to the point. That we have a little over 25K Sq Miles to call our home
weli, you are absolutely right. i also hate it when these "foreigners" try to impose things on us. i live about one third of an year in europe (rest in SL) so i kind of understand their pschy as well. when you have chickend out of the country and are not facing the day to day realities it is very is to be a lion or a tiger and impose hard lives on the people in the ground so that they can brag more.
it's ok for these foreigners to help or advice but it's not ok if they "decide" on behalf of the people facing the ground reality.

Re: Civilian issue
I feel something fishy. In past two weeks I noted following things happening all of a sudden
- Diaspora protests in west
- Suicide tamil burning himself in india [likely a pussycat black version]
- Many pusycat bloggers taking up civilian issue.
- UN personal in warzone talking about it.
- BBC talking about it.
I have few Qs.
- Has there never been any civialin death before?
I guess there were. In fact more than now. As we were having little knowledge of locations and they were freely hiding behind civilians. And civilians were everywhere those days.
- Why do I hear all pussycat elements going ding dong at once?
How come it all is synchronized? Genuine news takes time to propagate. But a decoded command takes very little time to get every segment to act. It looks like a supreme command from Fatpig to raise the issue.
- Why non pussycat ppl never talk about it?
Carefully see. Every element who protests against civilian death are pussycats. For an example, even SS Monon or Pranab Muckerji never spoke about it. Even Jayalalitha stated that it is not any big issue and happens in any war.
- Why do we not see many parading funerals?
Like in Palasthene. If there were so many deaths why do you think that pussycats will wait w/o publishing? If there are more deaths, I expect to see more and more photos than before.
Conclusion: Pussycats have no other weapons left. This is their last chance and last weapon. So they try to use [a synthetic] civilian issue to stop the war. It is an order from Fatpig for all their elements such as NGO agents, diaspora, TN pussycats, BBC to raise this
SLDF should take maxa care [and even slow down if needed] to make sure and prove that they are wrong. It is another phase of war, we ought to beat it.
spot on sujeeva.
In another hundred year, what we call Nations States will be in the dustbin of history. But the people will line on

Dear Mr President;
I waited all this long to hear the surprise. But not so lucky. There can be some surprise detected by more intelligent species, but not the peasant myself.
However I have found through news many issues which I got surprised with. Pray tell me, which one was the surprise you mentioned.
- CJ taking over hedging rule, in rather a comic way.
- Ranil making a [comic] speech [rather reading someone else's idea] praising SLDF.
- Pussycat submarines.
- Obama wearing your satake.
Or let me speculate for the breaking news of next two hours.
- Mervyn Silva Dr. [Dr in rear] sacked.
- Petrol price reduced to Rs 50/- a litre
- Cabinet reduced to 25
- Oil was found [Well CBK already broke this]
- Plan to impeach CJ [too late now].
- You and CJ in a French style musket-dual, but both muskets are loaded with rubber bullets.
Attacks Against Sri Lankan Press Meet with U.S. Condemnation

Ceasefire with LTTE barbarians? At this last minute?
[
COLOMBO (AFP) – Sri Lanka will not declare a ceasefire despite growing international concern about 250,000 civilians trapped by fighting with Tamil rebels, Human Rights minister Mahinda Samarasinghe said on Friday.
"There will be no ceasefire," the minister told reporters after a meeting with Colombo-based diplomats. "We will continue with our military operations and we will continue to liberate areas which had not been liberated so far."
His remarks came amid growing concern for the safety of civilians trapped in the northeast of the island, where the defence ministry says it is conducting the final phase of operations against Tamil Tiger guerrillas.]
he he he....
Tamil terrorists and their coolies seem to think… and behave like street gangs... they think that if they can bring 'big guns' (IC) to the fight... we would chicken out...
They stil cannot see what IC did for 25 years!!! Well there’s a reason!
Outsourcing their 'struggle' to International Community the 2nd easiest way… to get the
Elaam… (The first being the terrorism)
Just hold some placards like 'Sri Lanka genocide'... "Failed state' ... 'Sinhala state'...in front of the IC and the west will accept your 'word' and bring you the Elaam!
WOW! As if we Sri Lankans have no ‘medicine’ for that! Great to see our leaders showing to all concerned... that we indeed have a SOLID 'backbone'!
Adios.... Elaam... Adios... all that money... Adios daydreams!
[sorry for bold, but this is a message from me to all]
I just found about 48 hour passage time. It was just what we should have done. Now every diplomat should take the 48 hours to show how the protesters themselves kill civilians by holding them.
We should paste posters near the protest stalls and deliver handbills to public next to protests.
SPUR bro/sis I hope you guys are seeing our comments.
Can we start some web based propaganda. Shall we do some work in web and get the attention. If we can get all the ppl of this blog to give publicity that will cover a lot.
We should make most of this 48 hours to educate the world.
We need to create a site, sadly I hv no webspace right now. Anyone who wants my support pls say so. I can contribute for any such project.
Will be back in 10hrs or so [nightfall here]
Hi All
thannkx for the Srilankan die hearts here for all your and your Government's contribution for "Srilanka!!!!!!!Stop genocide on Tamils" march here in London.
It is going to be big. As i got the yext message that BBC, CNN, Sky News, Al-Jazeera all agreed to cover the event.
So Thanks again folks for moving our freedom struggle to an Internationally recognized one.
may be you all can get together near Hyde Park for small drinks party and dont forget to bring your national flag, and make sure you shout "Tamil Tigers are Terrorists"
LOL

Peter..
You always call Sinhalese modayas. I think you reach some kind of 'orgasm' by doing that. You 'think' you are far superior than others when clearly not. It could be kind of genetic defect some of you have, but I am sure it is only a fraction of you have the problem because there are plenty of good guys..
It is the only word he utters when he has no other thing to say. Pardon him. Many bloggers here have torn peter's logic into pieces. Although I read Mahen's blog I never read Peter's.
He's the castle clown here. He brings up a joke every now and then
India’s ruling DMK today criticised the LTTE for not responding to the 48-hour period declared by the Sri Lankan government in the Vanni region to evacuate large number of civilians trapped in the remaining LTTE-held areas.
hange in tune or attitude?
Dear Sujeewa Kakawela.
Why take it on Peter and other? Do not redecule youe opponent in your victory.

Everything's going to change after the massive demonstrations planned in Toronto, 5,000,000 people expected, even more maybe.
Hey man, when you lie try being realistic. Typing some zeros as you wish ha??
5million, oh I can't stop laughing. That is more than metro Toronto population [roughly the total in GTA] and 1/7 of whole f**king canadian population. I'm sure there are ppl providing food and lodging in Toronto. This will be the biggest event of Canadian history, take my word. Gee ha.
Today you beat N K Mahen for his claim of Nachchikudah.
[Pardon me if it was your fake. I never checked IDs. Unbelievable bullshit from even a pussycat]
Weli,
Why take it on Peter and other? Do not redecule youe opponent in your victory.
My comment on Peter is my observation. What is wrong about stating my observation. If one [peter] does comic things how can you blame others for taking him as a comic character.
Also we are to be blamed for calling them sakkiliyas at times.
I did not call anyone Sakkili to insult. I am not guilty of that act.I have many tamil frnds, I cannot do it even if I wished.
Once or twice I referred to those innocent ppl who really call themselves as Sakkili, and that ws not meant for any harm.
Lets treat every one as human beings. Most of the problems will be over then
But as I see it, there is no bad in MBRL your enemy. There are no rights reserved for pussycats neither in SL, nor in this blog. Take them on as you wish. And, there is no preaching which I accept in the warzone [including this blog].
We will only treat anyone as human based on their acts. Funding and supporting a ruthless maniac organization fails that status.
Alas, problems will not be over in the simple manner you think of.
Pardon me if I broke some Geneva bullshit of some religious preaching in this comment. I meant to do so, not by mistake.
sri lanka will be a sinhala buddhist country forever. until the end of time itself.
anyone who disagrees bring a bag to collect skulls & bones.

Choiceless.
MR has checkmate Karu-nagena-budi in his own ground.
Well done MR.
You can also join the act now facebook group for petitions news updates. We need to get more coverage on it this is the only way it can be stopped, the folllowing information was pulled from the ACTNOW group. Please read.
Over 100, 000 Tamil men, women and children have been killed.
• One million Tamils have fled the country.
• Over half a million Tamils have been displaced.
The Sri Lankan Government is currently engaged in the ethnic cleansing of the Tamil minority and the international community is just turning a blind eye.
A war that most people dont even know about a war not so different to Vietnam, the bombing of innocent civilians, schools, temples, orphanages, refugee camps and hospitals.
They are currently using food, water and medicine as a weapons of war against the Tamils.
The Government of Sri Lanka has removed all International Volunteer Organizations (INGOs) out of northern region where the conflict is taking place. And as the Government does not allow any International Media into the area there are NO WITNESSES of the ongoing Genocide and the unfolding Humanitarian crisis.
Due to the ongoing military offensive, a recent Cyclone and heavy monsoon rains which have caused widespread flooding, over 300 000 people have been left without shelter, food, clean water and inadequate medical supplies. And without proper sanitation this is a breeding ground for an epidemic of Cholera, Typhoid, Malaria and Dengue.
Recently the Sri Lankan Government has boasted that it has dropped so many bombs on its own civilians that it equals Hiroshima. It is the only country in the world to drop so many bombs on it own country to equate to a nuclear blast.
On Saturday 30th November 2008, just days before 120 countries signed up to a treaty banning the use of cluster bombs, the Sri Lankan Government dropped them onto a camp for Internally Displaced Persons.
Sri Lankan is one of the top eight 'red alert' countries where genocide is taking place. It is fourth in the world for using indiscriminate aerial bombardment on its own citizens, it comes after the Soviet Union, Iraq and Indonesia. Regardless of this Britain and many other countries still supplies them with arms.
Since 2005, the Sri Lankan Government has been responsible in Government controlled areas for 1500 extrajudicial killing of Tamil civilians, torture, scores of kidnappings and countless arbitrary detentions.
QUOTES:
*Every 5 hours someone in Sri Lanka is abducted-Asian Human rights commission.
*Sri Lanka has the world's highest number of abductions- Human Rights Watch
*Hon. Mr. Scott MP (Conservative – Ilford, North):* *"In the past few years, Iraq has put on trial its leader, Saddam Hussein, who bombed and killed his own people. Exactly the same thing is being done by the Sri Lankan Government now"*
*Hon. Ms. Susan Kramer MP (Lib Dem – Richmond Park):* *"I wonder whether the Minister understands how distressing it is for our Tamil constituents not to hear an outright condemnation of the Sinhalese Government's use of strategies such as cluster bombing towards their civilians. Such language would have been used in the context of Darfur and elsewhere, yet it seems, selectively, not to be being used in this context"**
*Bruce Fein (Former U.S.A. Associate Deputy Attorney General) (2008):
"The genocide of Sri Lanka’s Tamils has now become mainstream thinking in Tamil Nadu, Malaysia, South Africa, and elsewhere. It explains in part Sri Lanka’s eviction from the United Nations Human Rights Council. Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have also been vocal detractors of Sri Lanka’s human rights atrocities. Further, this week New York-based Genocide Prevention Project has included Sri Lanka as one of the eight "red alert" countries where genocide and other mass atrocities are underway or risk breaking out. Also, the Obama administration was handed a policy report on genocide with specific recommendations from former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright. This is likely to bring Sri Lanka’s genocide into U.S. focus."
Dear Sujeewa.
Sorry mate, U got me wrong. What I meant was that lets be genorous in our victory.

Hope we have taken all security measures for 61 Independence Day celebrations. Since MR/GR/SF and all important figures in gov in same place we need to be extra extra vigilant. We can't make any mistakes in this time of history of ours.
Truely this is only one another chapter of Sri Lanka history written in diffenrent color and figurs but almost same story. Story will repeat again and again in different colors and figures, but we need to learn how to live in our country like Jews live in Isreal.
Lets not r selves to the same shoes as Jews. They have a way to live and have been under many catospores. So they react quite different to the way tha rest of the world react,
We have our on way of mitree, daya, @ Karuna. These will bring us out in the long run.
[Allow free movement to the civilians in 48 hours- President urges LTTE
His Excellency Mahinda Rajapaksa, President of Sri Lanka has urged the LTTE to allow the civilians held as a human shield in Wanni to go for their safety. In statement issued yesterday (Jan 29) he further assures safer passage to a security environment.
The statement in full:
My Government, since its election, has always been concerned about the welfare of all citizens of Sri Lanka and their economic and social progress. The welfare of the citizens of the Northern and Eastern Provinces, especially of those in areas dominated by the LTTE, has been of even greater concern to my Government. As a result, my Government has always been committed to usher peace in those regions so that all people of Sri Lanka, especially those in the North and the East will have the opportunity to exercise their democratic rights and choose their leaders freely through elections to realise their political aspirations within the democratic framework that has flourished in Sri Lanka for long years.
However, all efforts for finding solutions peacefully for outstanding issues in the North and the East were repudiated by the LTTE and I was compelled to take measures to combat the terrorism unleashed by the LTTE on the people of Sri Lanka. In the efforts to eradicate terrorism and in the humanitarian operations to free civilians from suffering and insecurity, the Government and the Security Forces have been conscious of the welfare of civilians, their lives and property at all times.
In addition, as a democratically elected Government with a clear mandate from the people, we have always been determined to protect the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Sri Lanka and to find solutions to all problems within a democratic framework while uniting all the people of Sri Lanka.
In this context, the Security Forces have been successful in conducting their mandated operations to achieve these objectives of the Government and the people of Sri Lanka.
The Government is now poised to take decisive steps that will enable an environment conducive for the reintroduction of democracy that will provide the people of the Northern Province an opportunity to exercise their right to elect their leaders by free choice so that solutions can be found for all outstanding issues through negotiation and discussion and not through violence.
As a result of the operations by Security Forces, LTTE control over civilians is now confined to a small area in the Northern Province and a large number of civilians are being held there forcibly by the LTTE, thus endangering innocent civilian lives.
Being acutely conscious of the welfare of the civilians forcibly being held in the conflict zone by the LTTE, we have declared a safe zone for civilians, the co-ordinates of which were announced by the Security Forces.
This is to ensure that they stay out of harm's way during engagements between Security Forces and armed LTTE cadres, and to assure the safety and security of civilians.
It is unfortunate that the LTTE is exploiting this declared safe zone for civilians by placing their heavy artillery within the safe zone and using it as a launching pad to attack Security Forces and indiscriminately kill civilians."
"I urge the LTTE, within the next 48 hours to allow free movement of civilians to ensure their safety and security. For all those civilians, I assure a safe passage to a secure environment.
I also assure all those living in the North and in conflict areas in particular, that vacating LTTE held areas will ensure the physical, security and enable peace, freedom and rights for all citizens of the country." - MR]
Simply marvellous! Another FIRST!
Not once there was a mention of the word 'Tamil'.
As a policy... we should never inflate the use of this divisive word 'Tamil'... Leave that to the BBC, AP, TN and of course the Tamil terrorists.
Weli,
Religion and war don't go hand in hand. And most of the religion fans forget that Buddhism is not like other religions, that it tries to preach every human activity. Dhamma is an explanation and a way of life. It does not try to explain every corner of human life. i.e. how to do war according to dhamma.
We need to beat the pussycat bandwagon. And we should not be lenient on them at all.
Although you call this the victory, for me it is the beginning of the victory. The war against separatism will be fought in many fronts. Military is one. As long as separatism exist, Sri Lankans will be no diff to Israelis.
And you took it right, the population eruption of South India was happening for 1000s of yrs and the southern tip of this Asian land mass has been in war for more than 1000 yrs. That is simply because there is no room to go. This is exactly a choiceless situation. And the warrior mentality is an essence for survival, and there should not be any dhamma hindrance.
Whatever Dhamma states, I stand strongly for Weaponary development as an export product, and taking the lead in war against terror in global scale.

RC/Weli;
I have never been racially biased. I have only one enemy and that is the pussycats [incl diaspora]. And I see no reason why I should show maithree on them.
If you feel so, go ahead, but spare me pls. I don't feel so as these bastards have been killing innocent ppl and we have no solution other than their elimination.
Your stance contradicts with your support for SLDF. SLDF aim to kill terrorists, and you want to have maithree on them. Kill and have maithree, what?? I wanna see V Balakumar dead, don't you?
We can agree to disagree. But pls do not preach us. As you see the ideologies [and even religions] are personal, and there is no universal agreement on them.
SK
What I criticize is the pure stupidity.
It is not the millitary who kill LTTE. I strongly believe in a millitary solution and even support colonization of NE region to cut down too much mono-ethnicity for future formation of LTTE.
We can counter people's views without insulting them verbally.
I want Sri Lankans to be much better than the personalities they display on this blog.
Sri Lankan Secuity Forces have been given another UNPRECEDENTED opportunity... to show to the whole world... how to rescue 200,000 hostages held as a human shield by the Tamil terrorists.
It's tough call which needs kid-glove treatment... LTTE coolies busy on keyboards.... have no idea what's in store for the LTTE.
With patience, tact, strategy backed by the deady FIREPOWER... SLDF will make their name WRITTEN IN GOLD.... in the war manuals.... once again.
Kill More (Tamil terrorists)... and Achieve More...(Peace and prosperity for all of us.)
RC;
Sorry I leave the debate. In my view, I don't care what level of ethic we maintain here.
And I still don't see any ethical defect in calling Peter a "clown" [who comes up with some joke every now and then], and wishing V Balakumar "eelam" [sarcastic wish that he will die].
If you think they are bad acts, pls do not state so. For me I see nothing wrong in either case.
This will be my last comment on that.
Clarification:
What I meant by
"If you think they are bad acts, pls do not state so."
in prev statement was
"If you think they are bad acts, you can refrain doing such"
Sorry for misinterpretation.

I think the war is getting over, so we need to start Srilanka 2.0
Our leaders should now focus outside of SL, specially concentrating high profile legal, PR, and business driven task.
e.g.
If you read news from foreign source it describes these sakkilis fighting for rights etc, this is so many years old cut and paste, the govt should force them to change the description.
I hope we have decent intelligence gathering so that we can screen these pelapali guys at KIA.

"'Vision' of a Sinhala sociologist
[TamilNet, Friday, 30 January 2009, 13:22 GMT]
"This victory should not be lost in the peace. (….) The mono-ethnic nature of the North should be dismantled.(….) 'Defence Colonies' defence settlements should be established all over the North. Retired husband and wife ex-employees of the armed forces should be settled in such strategic settlements. Like in mainland China, and earlier in Korea, Armed Forces owned industries should be established in these areas for both defence and civilian production. Our forces should be further strengthened to deter any future attempts, writes engineer turned Sinhala sociologist Dr. Susanta Goonatilake in Sunday Times, dated, January 18. His article is a specimen to understand the vision of a section of Sinhala elite on the political process to follow Colombo’s victory.
Full text of the article appeared in Sunday Times, dated Sunday January 18, 2009:
After the victory: Full-scale development in the north but no racist appeasement
By Dr. Susantha Goonatilake
Kilinochchi was the crown, followed by Elephant Pass with LTTE debacles continuing. It was a string of famous victories. A war begun in 1972 when detonators for 20,000 explosions were sent by India to Sri Lanka is ending.
It was a victory reminiscent of Dutu Gemunu who over 2,100 years ago as a child in the deep South described the helplessness of being pushed into the country's extreme corner by a Tamil invader. Gemunu broke loose. But keeping with Buddhist ethos he paid homage to his dead adversary Elara. Prabahakaran is no just adversary. He must be eliminated.
It was also as important as that of warrior Rajasinghe's struggle against the Portuguese. Rajasinghe was fighting with then Sri Lanka divided into four kinglets; he at Sitawaka, the traitor Dharmapala controlled by Portuguese at Kotte, to-be Christian-convert, Karaliadde at Kandy and minuscule Jaffna kingdom under its pirate king. Rajasinghe surrounded Portuguese Colombo but had to finally give in. Today's Rajasinghe parallel would be Gotabhaya Rajapaksa and the commanders chosen by him.
As with the times of Dutu Gemunu and Rajasinghe, it was a victory in spite of so many obstructing forces. The self-styled "international community" (read Western powers) and meddling India as well as several foreign-funded fronts with the label NGO but actually functioning as foreign spy agencies carried on psychological warfare. In addition, key segments of the local political leadership were giving direct and indirect support to the LTTE.
In the latter category was Chandrika Kumaratunga. She had once offered Prabahakaran a 10 year rule of the north-east which fortunately for us he refused. Through her state media and her speeches, she labelled the LTTE war as justified. As she sent troops to fight the LTTE militarily, she and her cohorts extolled the LTTE cause undermining the forces' morale. Under her regime, she allowed the CFA to be signed and stood silently by as the LTTE established its government structure. Only Ranil Wickremesinghe is now being blamed for this supremely traitorous act. She then proposed under PTOMS still greater powers to the LTTE. And to further highlight her collaboration with the enemy, she even gave a post-tsunami presidential award to TRO, the LTTE front which had imported war material as tsunami relief.
To prevent this victory, foreign funds masquerading as "civil society" plotted in vain. Piece, (falsely called Peace) merchants once paid money to villagers eager to see the capital to come to Colombo to sing slogans that were music to the LTTE.
Prabahakaran who marches with the Tiger emblem of the Cholas that laid us waste in the 11th century echoed that Kilinochchi takeover would be a daydream. The LTTE-Tamil Nadu nexus, very reminiscent of Chola designs on Sri Lanka, bopped in Chennai demonstrations.
Celebrations
After the recent military victories people celebrated, some activities undoubtedly sponsored by the ruling party. But there were numerous free expressions. After the military triumph, Colombo stock exchange rallied, a strong contrast to only a few years ago when segments of the private sector were colluding as a 5th column with antinational piece merchants.
D.S. Senanayake's grandson, UNP Chairman Rukman Senanayake praised the victory. Ranil Wickremesinghe's salute to the soldiers: prices should come down! And S.B. Dissanayake in an election meeting was begging the government not to make political use of the victory. In a news conference, the JVP echoed this same sentiment.
Clausewitz had famously declared "War is politics by other means", politics here covering separatism. This same phrase was used by Marx and Lenin for their class war theories.
The JVP claiming inspiration from the latter has sacrificed the most for the defence of our territorial integrity. But in a mixture of complete muddleheaded thinking and wrong decisions, it has now missed the bus. Yes, the present government will use the war in its election campaign as indeed it should because it is its political leadership that supported the military. We only hope that they would not use it in the sickening sycophant fashion of the government media.
The mood also changed in Jaffna. There were anti-LTTE demonstrations as Jaffna citizens marched with lion flags. The likes of Douglas Devananda could have organised this with state support. But nearly 200,000 ordinary Jaffna citizens at the exhibition organised by the armed forces was a spontaneous expression. Ordinary Jaffna people were voting with their feet towards normalcy.
Our expatriate community which had fought the ideology of both the LTTE and Chandrika was jubilant. In the very Tiger stronghold of Scarborough in Canada, they organised a celebration as they did in Southern California.
After the victory, there were some sour faces also. Donald Gnanakone from California on an Al Jazeera report said that in spite of the Kilinochchi takeover the LTTE would never be defeated by the "Sinhala" army. He and his brother Charles had earlier been linked in several published reports to Ranil Wickremesinghe. Donald had praised the CFA. Charles had been arrested after the assassination of former foreign minister Lakshman Kadirgamar.
Victory not to be lost in peace
This victory should not be lost in the peace. For its own interests, India introduced literally through gunboats the 13th Amendment which transferred the traditional homelands fiction to "fact". Western commentators at the time denounced India as a colonial power. Annulling this forced fiction, empty land in the North should now be developed.
Sri Lankans should have the freedom to settle anywhere in the country as indeed tens of thousands of Tamils have recently done in Colombo. The mono-ethnic nature of the North should be dismantled. All Sinhalese and Muslims expelled by the LTTE should be resettled with compensation. People from all communities should be settled in the empty lands of the North and commercial enterprises employing all communities started. Like Indian "Defence Colonies" defence settlements should be established all over the North. Retired husband and wife ex-employees of the armed forces should be settled in such strategic settlements. Like in mainland China, and earlier in Korea, Armed Forces owned industries should be established in these areas for both defence and civilian production. Our forces should be further strengthened to deter any future attempts.
Equally important: Identify those who have questioned our sovereignty, supported the LTTE and called for foreign intervention. Get the Central Bank and other authorities to stop the inflow of foreign funds to them. If they are in the state sector, expose them and deny them their funds.
For the areas won: rapid development, absolute and full equality and dignity. But no appeasement of racism.

"Victory not to be lost in peace"
well said susantha!
Dear Rover:
Most cruel aspect of war is
not life loss, property loss
or crimes against women and
children; the occasional essentiality of war is the
most cruel aspect.
Humanists do try to avoid war, but when pressed hard
and when they see that war is unavoidable then they fight it with all might still holding humanistic value.
Why do many people obey law?
If we take out all forms of violence from the society
it will be anarchy.
Law is maintained by violent means. If police powers and weapons are taken
away Courts cannot function.
Yes It is hard to press humanism because of many years of war. But if we think carefully this suffering should convince us
why humanism is the form of
Nationalism for this dangerously armed world.
IF WE DO NOT TRANSFORM OURSELVES FROM TRIBALISTIC NATIONALISM TO HUMANISTIC NATIONALISM THEN MY GREAT SPECIES, MAN KIND, WILL HAVE ONLY A SHORT TIME OF EXISTENCE.
Being against war sometimes very well be anti-humanism. OPPOSITION to the war against LTTE at this juncture is crime against humanism.
Namasthe for your standpoint.

I will be off now.
Rover I would like to know you better. Thanks!
SK, I did not even noticed how you called Peter.
Peter and others like him deserves actually name calling.
What I am against is when they go after people that they don't know of.
For example, Wijayapala.
I wasn't complaining you on my last post anyway, I was explaining myself.

Please don't insult LTTE people :)
[ V Blalakumar was hit

I think you were talking about this message.
This is a very sarcastic one. When I say don't insult LTTE people, I was actually making fun of Eelam. It was not directed to you at all.
"Peter and others like him deserves actually name calling."
Realy Cold:
Some people are applying your theorem on you!
A better theorem:
People like Peter who condone suicidal killing by
refusing to acknlowledge who the guilty party is and support LTTE do not deserve name calling, because they deserve no attention.

It seems most of the bloger here live outside SL and are out of touch of reality
weli, I am curious. Could you please elaborate how expatriates are out of touch with the reality in Sri Lanka?
Most of my family is in Sri Lanka, but I am an expatriate. I try to visit Sri Lanka every year, primarily to setup small projects I am bringing to Sri Lanka to help people.
I want to find out how I may have become blind to reality in Sri Lanka.
Thanks.
Guys,
I live in Sydney and heard about this di-ass-pora protest on Martin Sq. No one really cared about it. No such event was reported in major newspapers like SMH, Daily Telegraph and it was not shown in major tv channels like channel 7, 9 or 10.
Aussies is suffering from a South Africa defeat and 40++ heat.
Total waste of time for Di-Ass-Pora.
Cheers.

@ Civilians
Some of them - say 10,000 probably stay with LTTE willingly. But the majority forcibly held. LTTE fire at fleeing civilians. Not all mahaveerar family members are mahaveerars, I guess. I think when LTTE kidnap kids and when they dead their family members automatically become mahaveerars. But these people probably will not support LTTE.
It is time for Sri Lankans live overseas to make noise and let the world know how LTTE trap and keep these human shield and ask LTTE to release them.

Biharav said
[L in LTTE refers to "Liberation."
That is liberation of tamil eelam not tamil people. I dont know how anybody could be so stupid as to not know that.]
Actually L stands for "leading",As Asithiri said before LTTE stands for "Leading Tamils for Total Extinction"
Well done Biharav and Asithiri

dear friends!ltte workers last two weeks brain washing every single tamil living abrod to attend the london rally tommorow.everyone received text message to call sky then bbc and al zera so they will broadcast the rally.so most people did and they confirmed sky will,so they text again to urge people to call bbc.this is where we have to be very carefull,we souldnt be complasent.friends this is first time we have a chance to get rid of ltte and wipe out terrerisom frome oure country.this is too late to call off the rally,so no point in trying that.only way to to defeat the terrerist is we too have to be prepaire to defeat them every war.so diaspora and peacelovers,patrots.pls attend the rallys and loby agains llte.so whole world will hear what people of ari lanka feels.
"Passenger train service between Colombo and Vavuniyaa has been suspended from Thursday until further notice as a security measure. "
TN
fantastic!
they did this from last feb to december'08. then again they started it too soon. i repeatedly wrote to MoD (and DW) to stop this crap.
glad that AT LAST they have got their act together AGAIN.
simple reasons: a terrorist got into the train from vavuniya can land in the heart of colombo by avoiding ALL the check points.
if he/she has to come to medawachchiya to get on the train, few MORE stringent checkpoints has to be passed. PLUS people along the way and in medawachchiya are MORE vigilent (due to whatever reaspons i don't like to specify).
good move.
can start when security improves.

In a lighter note:
I am astonished that no one saw my tiger stripes in the following statement. In that statement wasn’t I insisting others to leave LTTE alone. Since I myself have shown my stripes, now I am doomed. I will be punished by the God of the Old Wanni.
A better theorem:
People like Peter who condone suicidal killing by
refusing to acknowledge who the guilty party is and supporting LTTE do not deserve name calling, because they deserve no attention.
But, now I have hope:
voluntarily showing my tiger stripes when nobody has noticed them now I have hidden the stripes.
But, then this very last statement again shows my stripes.
The line above hides it.
Oh I need to be hospitalised. I am going insane. Effect of twisted logic of witch hunt.
every time bbc broadcate news about sri lanka or ltte.if ltte thinks its not favoure of them then,they ask every tamil to call bbc.bbc or anyone else wont understand how they works.in an hour somehow reach every tamil or people who sympathise with them.so immedietly they start to complaine.very hard to explain.
guys,
talk defence please, not bs. we have potentially explosive situations.
the biggest issues at hand are:
1. how to save civilians trapped in the LTTE prison
2. how to counter LTTE propoganda in canada, uk, australia, us, france, india, etc.
lankan,
so do "we". we do it not only for bbc, but all frontline media except the boston globe of course!
Can they achieve peelam by participating to a rally @London or Toronto?
If so, why did the fight for decades?
but i agree we don't have the numbers.
it will be great if MORE and MORE ppl can do so.
nisal,
propoganda war is as important as the real war.
by putting pressure on the govt.s, they can trouble our military campaigns.
until kadir took office, most SL leaders thought like that. the result was DISASTROUS.
exately dyan.although forces have upperhand ,ltte is winnig propaganda war.ltte supporters are like bended spoone.anything they hear they they believe
No modaya
We demonstrate in London and Toronto not to achieve ezham but to get western support for our noble activities. If they dont support us we will all set fire to ourselves like that journo did in TN. Then we'll see if west could live without us.

nisal!we all know that ltte cant acheive nothing.people who is sufering the kids who is dying name of ltte are the poor ones.tamils living aboard sending money for this by beleiving they wii get ealam.these rallies will help ltte to survive longer
Talking about propaganda, look at what SL government is saying. Does anybody really believe they captured Killinochchi, EPS and Mullaitivu when our great leader VP clearly CLEARLY said they wont be captured?
Anybody could take a few pictures from Trinco, publish them and say we captured Killi. How childish! But the good thing is that it gets diaspora into action all over the world!
Guys,
I still feel this 48 hour request from MR for civilians to come out from war torn area is not going to work. Why majority of civilians didn’t come out during last so many months, despite of all requests? Reasons can be as follows:
A. They don’t want to come out as diaspora pointed out. They happy to stay and support LTTE.
B. They wanted to come out but LTTE force fully keeping them as a human shield.
C. They are scared to come out due to LTTE propaganda.
Now, giving 48 hours or 72 hours cannot bring them out in either case. Therefore it is not going to work and we will face problems with India and international communities as the eelam area shrink further. They may twist SLG arms for cease fire.
As I suggested earlier, if we make 57 div just defensive on either side of the Viswamadu-Putthikudu road, say just 02km on each side as safe corridor for civilians, and get ICRC and UN or even some embassy peoples as peace monitors to watch record SLA’s good intensions and LTTE reactions, we may be able to discard reason A and C. Even we can ask ICRC and UN reps to go in and inform civilians to come out. This will prove to the whole world what LTTE is doing. This 04km no firing line can be heavily guarded by 57 and 53 which is now on stand by.
It will not stop the offensives because 55, 58, 59, TF2 and TF3 will hammer terrorists from all other fronts. We must capture complete eastern coastal line as soon as possible to box them in the land without depending on SLN. This will eliminate sea tiger threat also.
What is wrong with such a plan?
Your views please!
"නිසල් - நிசல் - Nisal said...

If somebody from SLA is reading this blog, please get somebody to drain those reservoirs out immediately. Open the sluice gates full and let them drain out. Yes, that is including the Iranamadu Tank. We can fill them back in a very short time when we resettle people in Kilinochchi but we need to minimize the risk. For Mother Lanka's sake, please drain them immediately.
Chathuranga aka Pansilu,
Are you back in the same old business?
your sarcastic comment is funny.once neary thousands of ltte supppoters gatherd front of europian parliment,same time 8 of anti ltte demonstraters there too.lltte achived nothing but those 8 were called in and spoken to.this went long way to get ltte baned

LTTP will NEVER release those civilians. Otherwise it will be the end of LTTP. The gov. should have a good plan to calm down IC and liberate the remaining land.

You are truly a genius! I wish I had the common sense to have figured that out.

MATE, THAT IS WHAT I SAID, LOOK AT MY PREVIOUS POST.
Thanks Wijey! You are so kind.
Chathuranga and Nisal:
Yes civilians are the only protection and the most effective armour LTTE has now.
India seems to be getting this.
