Many rumours are circulating about the escape of Velupillai Prabhakaran. The most recent one is where the LTTE supremo had escaped by plane. The Navy claimed its gunboats opened fire at an aircraft flying over Chalai. The Air Force has denied this claim. In another claim, Prabhakaran is now living in Malaysia.
We have obtained definite proof that Prabhakaran was still hiding in the 400km2 area now under siege until the 12th. A hardcore cadre captured recently claimed that he had seen Prabhakaran on the 12th, in person.
Meanwhile pro-LTTE media had claimed it sank a Dvora FAC off the northeastern coast. A group of LTTE suicide boats were sent to penetrate the naval blockade in force off the coast of Mulaitivu and Nagarkovil, which was effectively engaged by the Navy. One boat exploded close to a Dvora causing reparable damage.
The LTTE strategy to break through the blockade comes in the wake of Army plans to advance along the Nagarkovil-Chalai coast upto Mulaitivu thus effectively isolating and trapping the LTTE to a land area smaller than Thoppigala.
The Tigers have in a way, isolated themselves by abandoning 26 Mirage Class boats at the beginning of the Kilinochchi siege. They stripped 15 boats of their armaments and hid the boats away from SLAF's watchful eye, but some were destroyed in air strikes.
The task of suffocating the Tigers is gradually being implemented by the 55, 58 and 59 Divisions as we speak. The move could completely suffocate the LTTE giving the Army the opportunity to systematically get at the remaining 200 or so LTTE leadership.

«Oldest ‹Older 601 – 800 of 1497 Newer› Newest»I hope it is the same guy doing both fakes.
I saw this story too and it is not complete. The questions to be raised is whether this is a actually the monk who was missing. What was he doing and how did he survive?
If all the answers are genuine, there is a story for a book and a movie.
[ONLY IN SRI LANKA!
A Buddhist monk, who had resided in LTTE-held Kilinochchi for over 38 years, had arrived in Vavuniya Thursday, along with another Sinhalese, the Army said. The 76-year-old Ven Gonapinuwila Wimalasara Thero had gone to Kilinochchi in 1971 as principal of the Sinhala Maha Vidyalaya in Kilinochchi. After the school was closed in 1990 the monk had stayed on in an ‘Awasaya’ in Kilinochchi]
Anyway, time for a coffee.
In a bit.........
Peter, my boy glad to know you are in UK. Can you help me by clicking on the "LTTE to continue armed struggle and achieve Tamil Eelam" and voting a few thousand times
Is it possible Prabha may be in a bunker near Colombo or Kandy or somewhere where we may not be looking still communicating with the front line?
I visited a relative in Boralla once. They live in a very lavish neighborhood. All the houses are surrounded by tall walls. The relative had no idea who most of the neighbors were and I was told they were not Sinhalese. It seems vehicles go in and out of these houses during some odd hours as well.
The neighborhood where I grew up, everyone knew everyone and even if someone had a diarrhea, the whole town knew about it.
There can be number of LTTE sympathizers in That area.
Peter, can you just see the nerve of that bastard Gringo? He's asking to release humanshields.
Boy I was so impressed with your prompt answer
[Hey modaya's Would SLA release "human shields" if bomb goes off in Colombo or Kandy?]
Man only you can comeup with this kind of great stuff.
Our EFT correspondent for Kandy Colombo says that people in Kandy colombo are actually struggling to reach Mullaitivu for safety but the chena army boys are not allowing them to do so!!!
My overseas sources inform me that right now there is a big crowd of LTTE supporters outside the BBC Television Centre in London, crying their eyes out pleading the BBC to stop the war! Is BBC not doing enough for the LTTE cause?
The LTTE did not spare Rajiv Gandhi who did not come up to LTTE's expectation. BBC Sinhala service goons might get the same treatment if the BBC does not stop the war. Ha ha...

[A lot of people give credit to LTTE for getting rid of caste system.]
This is like someone went to a saloon, got a nice haircut, and barber cut one of the ear completely, and people are crediting the barber for the haircut.
Dude, the bloody ear is on the floor and the barber is standing on it.
LTTE may have wiped out the caste system, so does the quality of life of Tamils.
Tamils today eat mud more today than 30 years ago - thanks for you guys.
@Ananda-USA
You've got Mail!!!
Yes, a fan mail.
Gotymbara
[ Ananda -USA is thousand times better than you.]
Gotymbara, would you have a chat with DW and straightened out your story? I am in a he-said, she-said situation.
I am very confused now.
It is possible you both are false or only one is right.
Did you respond to Asithri, brother of Ananda-USA whose response to you was much more harsh.
I never verbally abuse a cousin of a potential Sri Lankan hero, he did.
You will see pictures of this soon on ToiletNet AKA TamilNut.
Apparently they are handing out printouts of a TamilNut fairy story to passers by. Hooo hoo ho...
Now the LTTE is so broke they can't even print their glossy leaflets anymore, to hoodwink the white man. How pathetic...
The very bullets bought with the money this mob sent to the LTTE are now being used to kill their own relatives. Tsk....Tsk...
This is the opportunity for the SLHC in the UK to take some pictures of the participants for our "National Hall of Shame®" to be set up at Katunayake Airport. So any one of them coming in to Pukka Land can make an instant U turn and get out of my country. The traitors...
@Peter
[We have grand plans for eelam unification with TN unlike you moda lanka so self satisfied with little you have. Lol]
I want everyone to read this 10 times.
This is exactly why we need to step on your dreams and crush them like a mushroom.
..... and we want to remove all the long distance phone and internet connections from Dispora for local Tamils as well.
You have mislead them once and that shouldn't happen again in the future.

You put this very eloquently my friend. I may use this in future discussions with eelamists.
VP promised to do better for Tamils and attend Heaven.
That is why he is not releasing Tamils from his grip.
He needs to attain the heaven with them together.
Peter said...
From what I've seen, caste isn't such an issue in social interactions. When it comes to marriage, yes, there are some families who would only approve of inter caste marriage.
A lot of people give credit to LTTE for getting rid of caste system.
But I would differ here. It is actually the Sri Lankan government that managed to weed out caste from Tamil society.
In the early 90s, Jaffna was in the same situation as Vanni of current phase. That environment made most Tamils realise, regardless of castes, we are all Tamils first.

Not satisfied with fakes, moda Bandas need partial quotes.
"LTTE are not keeping human shileds. People are allowed to go but they are staying in whats left of the ealam on their own will.
yep, that's why when LTTE was retreating from Kili & EPS they have killed 227 of their injured cadres, forget about the civilians..
"I'm sure we'll be convinced after reciting it 1000 times"
keep saying this to you and anhilate the remaining tamil civilians too....
Gonocide... yes its genocide in purest form.

Hi Apino,
Good to see that you've been active today!
Regarding the high flying UFO, I tend to agree with what Shay said.
Good job in making Gotymbara keep his chin up, after his terrible loss; and pepping up people to keep their camaraderie/companionship going.
I like your profile pic. Now I think everybody will understand what is behind your name (initially I thought you were some kind of duchess!).
...Look who's talking about psychology... Our bipolar delusional friend peter....
What a joke!
Peter, go get treatment for manic bipolar disorder, inferioirty complex (tell all your peelam friends) and delusionary symptoms..
... by the way.. look what's happened to your beloved peelam 'spokesman':
"LTTE media spokesman Rasiah Ilanthirayan has been placed under arrest by the Tigers, according to Army intelligence".

We are not interested in your manic tirades. Get lost from this blog.

Hi There Rover,

Gave it a shot to unite our bros.....Kokka dagandamai hadanne! Mada Kipichcha Ali Wagei ....Wamata Dakunata..Udata yatata hamapathatama harawa harawa megollo MBRL fire koranawa....Glad that these brothers are keyboard worriers....otherwise there will be lot of friendly fire related casualties on outside.....Trigger happy like Clint Eastwood man....firing from the hip.....
ReallyCold gave me the idea on the pic....."some kind of duchess!" ....LOL.....far far from it my mate....
Anyway good to have you here mate....time to hit the bed.
Are you in SL these days?
Cheers
Any patriots in London?
Please go to BBC Television Centre right now 17:00 GMT with an extra large Lion flag and show the Diaspora who is King!
They are handing out an A4 size glossy leaflet apparently, outside BBC Television Centre.
Guys today's videos from Rupavahini were crispy. Let me intro them, but still can't see them in web. I watched over TV. Keep checking for web posts. Tomorrow I will give you the URLs anyway.
1. Uthuru Yudha Peramuna:
Ever wondered how 55th crossed Chundikulam lagoon and entered Challai. It is a 20ft deep 1km wide ocean pass into a completely open terrain.
They built a makeshift floating bridge and a bunker line all in less than 1/2 a day. A beauty.
2. Wanni Meheyuma:
A grandma cries for 7yr old little Parwathie who was abducted by fleeing pussycats from Dharmapuram when 58th liberated the town. It is touchy indeed.
If we have good media/graphic lads with us, pls dub it and publish it in everywhere possible. No better representation for the teardrops for the scattered childhood of Wanni, articulated with for dollar a day and euro a day.
You feel like bringing all these Peter Mahen et al to international courts for this horrendous crime they did. How many ppl in wanni crying today? Shame on you diaspora. Curse on you too.
Don't spend money on glossy leaflet aney...instead buy LTTE some more bullets to use on their wounded and Tamil civilians who try to escape Elam.

Peter,
What happened to Pottu ?
Now there is no talk of Pottu instead it is Ilanthiraiyan who is facing the fire at media speculation.
I don't think that I qualify as a
"patriot".
Perhaps I should go down anyway.
Lol!
It's true; there are some Tamils outside BBC.
K, I am off to the BBC.
@Rover
[You put this very eloquently my friend. I may use this in future discussions with eelamists.]
Thanks dude, this is an excellent example for sharing the wisdom. You understand the message regardless of the messenger and that is the most important thing for us to progress as a nation.
Peter listen I wanna hear it one more time!
according to your beliefs exectly from which part of your God's body did the tamils emerge?
did I hear nether regions?
Guys wait till till you hear PeterPan's answer!
It pretty much sums up the whole pro LTTE diaspora....
Eelamist retards!!
Rana-boy;
[I should have called you Rana-Uncle but... for the young in heart man]
I predicted 55th capture of Challai shore, with 58th backing. You predicted TF3/TF2/TF4 closing gap with A35. The grand chess master has answered both in the right combination.
I thought 55th will go around the lagoon. I never thought 55th will cross the lagoon mouth after seeing sat pic. Oh boy that was a great feat indeed. have a look at sat map and then watch Uthuru Yudha Peramuna video of today. To cross it under the nose of waiting tiger, wow and WOW indeed.
Cheers Rana. Our predictions are coming true.
"Gave it a shot to unite our bros...ect. ..Trigger happy like Clint Eastwood man....firing from the hip....."
Yep, exactly, most of them do so, I feel, as they are egotistical (and some are just bullies). And I find this to be funny when you consider that they maintain pseudo names and often some even have doubles.
I was in Sri Lanka over the winter break, enjoying even some of the wonderful Sinhala curries that Rana mentioned (and that you salivated over!), but it is back to work now.
RC, that hair saloon example rocks. Best way to put. Keep it up.
@corey
[Peter, go get treatment for manic bipolar disorder, inferiority complex (tell all your peelam friends) and delusional symptoms..]
Most vocal Eelamists are suffering from this syndrome regardless whether they have BS MS MBA MBBS PHD....
Most of them react like my nephew in the 2nd grade.
Most minorities in any nation is suffering from that syndrome. It is this insecurity that has become a self driving force for them.
While a majority of a nation is driven by inspiration, minority often use fear or insecurity as a driving force.
Quite often comedy material and sarcasm comes from the majority here since they are comfortable with themselves. The minority Eelamist guys are uptight and often get annoyed sounding irrational.
Eelamists often talk about Jaffna Tamil DNA being superior than anyone. Superiority complex is a sign of insecurity.
That's my daily Thalathel.
Puran,
Saw the news regarding Visuamadu?
No man. I did not. Only that I heard from you. Pls post if it is in web. In news I only watched to videos of Rupavahini and missed rest of the news.
Guys I voiced against MR opening the flyover as planned. And now glad he did not.
Nevertheless Nugegoda flyover stands majestically now. Only one half is built, but opened today by Minister T B Ekanayake.
[Most of them react like my nephew in the 2nd grade.]
I'm sure your dik is the same size as 2nd grade nephew.
@Sujeewa Kokawala
[ RC, that hair saloon example rocks. Best way to put. Keep it up.]
The credit actually should go to Peter.
He is inspiring all of none Eelamists to be better than LTTE Diaspora.
Finally, SLDF is becoming a very effective force who get on-the-job training about winning.
We need to spread that experience across all professionals in Sri Lanka.
Yes, we can be winners if we all focus. We can be as good as anyone else.
LTTE/Diaspora has provided a 28 years old wake up call to our nation.
A nation needs a strong structure to function well. That structure is the secret behind all the western powers.
Millitary can provide that structure. It can be a stepping stone to build a progressive Sri Lanka.
Should we bring at least 1 year of mandatory military training for all our young people? This is different from a mandatory draft which can be a sensitive thing.
The Germans I have worked in the past really show the benefit of mandatory military training.
Bhairav,
Vulgar comments do not save you from depression, it simply increases. Take doctor's advice.
@Bhairav
[RC: Most of Tamil Diaspora react like my nephew in the 2nd grade.]
Dude, there is some truth behind what I write. Here is PROOF!
[Bhairav: I'm sure your dik is the same size as 2nd grade nephew.]
Very briefly....
I found it alarming to see some people envisioning pitting China against India, for our survival.
I most certainly disagree with this rather primitive perspective.
We are an advanced and compassionate society that should never aim to play to the lower instincts of humans (though the eelamists have bought out our worst over the more recent years)
I don't want Sri Lanka to be a cursed ground where various nations fight their wars on.
Instead, why don't we try to unite Asians to play against the wide economic coalitions - like EU, South AMerica Countries, ect. that are being formed throughout the world?
When the economic playing field becomes flatter, we will need some of these larger coalitions to thrive (not just survive). So I think this is what we should aim to do.
I feel that we have an opportunity here. West is good with us, and the super powers in Asia consider Sri Lanka to be strategically placed to become an economic powerhouse that would be useful to them. So we should make use of this to do good to our region and us.
Remember that Japan and China still remembers the favors we did to them so many years ago. Asians are good in remembering for a long time the good (or the bad) that is done, and we should make use of this trait positively to become a progressive nation.
Can we talk about making our SLDFs stronger so that we achieve these loftier goals. Specifically to help crush the notion of terrorism in Asia (and perhaps the world). When this happens, I think other progressive nations will seriously consider us as equals.
ReallyCold;
I take the other matters and military matters separately for SL. I am not having much hope for a miraculous growth in other areas. War was NOT why SL missed out a seat in a possible G-8 or say G-9.
However, this president, with all my differences to his non-war policy, seem to be one hell of a bold man who gets to his target no matter what. After 11 years of directionless CBK, he may do something after he fixes problem no 1.
But again what he would do may not fulfill our expectations or ideas. It would be like Premadasa did with Garments factories, many thought it was foolish, but they functioned at least for good 10years providing jobs.
Again, I do not expect a major revcolutions in attitudes and perspectives of Sri Lankans.
Ah, one way to devlop SL is if all our expats try bringing at least one business [with foeign capital] to SL. It can be their own or their brokered. I'm not calling for favor here, they should and can take their fair share back. This is business.
SL provides ideal env for foreign outsourcing of any trade. Only Software and Business Processes [BPO] have come yet. Even they have not yet penetrated significantly.
But you ought to do it now. Pls don't wait till 225 saints takes oath in the diyawanna asylum and SL functions with 0 corruption. Also do not expect SL ppl to change their way of thinking for you to do it. No, the ppl will remain same for at least the forseable future, it is YOU who can work out a way to bridge the profit oriented westerners to invest and get sometimes lethargic and miss calibrated Sri Lankan to work for them. I think ppl call this entrepreneurship, right? I know a handful who really did this.
Investment is 100 times worthy than a donation, take my word.
Gotambara .
Humble apologies to you bro . sometimes the truth is a casualty in war . even sources we think are reliable dont tell the truth .
I know your loss will not give you a lot of satisfaction of being vindicated . may all those heros attain nibbana
Rover,
I found it alarming to see some people envisioning pitting China against India, for our survival.
In fact we're the bridge between India, Pak, China. And we should never try to be a vulture. We gotta be happy for being friendly with three different mutual enemies. Making a living out of it is walking on the sharp edge of a sward.
Instead, why don't we try to unite Asians to play against the wide economic coalitions - like EU, South AMerica Countries, ect. that are being formed throughout the world?
But not this. Asians are genuinely cunning and super powers love to do this. Recent economic agreements with India is a good example. Instead of doing this we should keep up our good will and treat thenm individually. A great Asian unity would be harder than a great world unity. :)
When the economic playing field becomes flatter, we will need some of these larger coalitions to thrive (not just survive). So I think this is what we should aim to do.
Will joining EU improve Luxumberg? I doubt. SL should think of producing for the big asian markets, not getting generalized. SL should be a special case. If generalized we will not get anything.
I feel that we have an opportunity here. West is good with us, and the super powers in Asia consider Sri Lanka to be strategically placed to become an economic powerhouse that would be useful to them. So we should make use of this to do good to our region and us.
SL is not getting genuine investments. We shouldn't depend on politicians. Let them dance in frenzy, but we should find other ways. See my prev comment for one such idea.
Remember that Japan and China still remembers the favors we did to them so many years ago. Asians are good in remembering for a long time the good (or the bad) that is done, and we should make use of this trait positively to become a progressive nation.
By dealing with Japan, China, Korea, Asean countries, India, and Pak individually. Not by bringing them all under one flag.
Can we talk about making our SLDFs stronger so that we achieve these loftier goals. Specifically to help crush the notion of terrorism in Asia (and perhaps the world). When this happens, I think other progressive nations will seriously consider us as equals.
We need to start producing arms. We should take Israel as one good example. We can become the leader in weaponry production of modern warfare against terror. Israel is said to be that, but still their version of terrorism is very different to elsewhere.
Strong SLDF will never be without local weapon production.
Apart from weapons we can share knowledge, but not our soldiers.
@ROver
[We are an advanced and compassionate society that should never aim to play to the lower instincts of humans]
I agree, this is progress by wisdom than fear and should be our goal.
It is very unnatural for most of us to think and function at this high level.
This is how quality diplomats in the world work.
I agree with rest of what you say. We can never be a threat to any of the SA nations in the region. We can quietly grow like Malaysia.
Our strengths: Beauty, nature, history, and our educational culture. We are more spirited than other Asian countries. What we are missing is a national vision.
Once we set that, we can execute it like the way we are executing our millitary missions.

[Ah, one way to devlop SL is if all our expats try bringing at least one business [with foeign capital] to SL. It can be their own or their brokered. I'm not calling for favor here, they should and can take their fair share back. This is business.]
This is a very good and fair request.
This can be made to a reality much shorter than most of us think.
The people outside SL are ready to help. There are investors willing to flood Sri Lanka.
There is a saying in the west "If you build it, they will come".
The ball is in the court of SL political leadership. Our current government has missed so much of such opportunities by not being visionary.
If we can get a post war president who can think outside the box and who is trained both in and out of Sri Lanka, this will happen.
We need to think current. We need to think 'green', 'sustainable', 'environment', 'unselfish', 'national'.
Out foundation should be the structure. What I mean by that is making people follow society guidelines, follow leaders orders, then of cause good leaders.
There were two million US people rush to see Barak Obama even if the temperature was -20C to listen to him and get inspired to be productive.
Humans all over the world are the same, we are only different by having or not having a fundamental structure for everyone to succeed.
A good summary about SLDF divisions and their history
Four days passed by and Entertainment Factories of Tamileelam [EFT] is still looking for a sellable news. Bankruptcy is spreading from Pussycats to its supporters too.
Sujeewa Kokawala,
SL is a paradise land for small scale health preserving bio-agriculture: fruits, vegetables, cereals.
Also, we must revive the SL Shipping Corporation on a military footing to promote our agri products.
Short sighted mammoth agro-industry has devastated the soil and made the man sick with polluted products. The soil is poisoned for many years in EU/US and the business is so overpowering that no Govt dare to intervene.
ReallyCold;
If you expect SL politics or SL way of thinking to change in a productive way, well, I appreciate it but sadly I doubt it. We need a way to come thru current position.
SL Political gravity is to push us more into the lot which you hated. We ought to accept those.
In brief, in you think that those things can be changed, well, it is mere wishful thinking. I think entrepreneurs should make use of existing SL, not wait till it changes into a first world way of thinking.
MathaMathica,
we need to produce agro-products for outside world. Still we are talking about "api vavamu, api kamu" idea. Sell them abroad. Process, value add.
Yes, Sujeewa,
I saw your post to ReallyCold after I posted, which I agree with.
Yes, considering nations individually , so that we could be the cement to glue these disparate countries together, was what I meant when I said forming a broader coalition.
"We can become the leader in weaponry production of modern warfare against terror."
Exactly, with an emphasis on modern.
I think we should also start thinking seriously about physiological/genetic/environmental/economic factors that produces terrorism (or rather suites of factors that breeds terrorism). And pro actively (through modeling) identify regions that will be plagued by terrorism in the future, and find answers to alleviate them before it actually happens (something similar to what epidemiologists do in predicting the rise and spread of a diseases before they actually happen, so that it can be stopped by controlling of those factors).
Then also of course a mechanism to control terrorism once it is established. This will be the manufacture of sophisticated arms and sharing of experiences.
We can also have a defense academy where we train foreign soldiers to fight terrorists in their own countries.
"but not our soldiers."
Yep, not our soldiers; if we do this, others will consider our soldiers to be the oppressors, just like the way things precipitated in Iraq (against the US army)!
" We shouldn't depend on politicians. "
Yes, we should not, otherwise, this will be like a situation where we discuss which came first, the chicken or the egg?
Once the economy picks up, and our people are more even more educated, they will put the bad-egg-politicians in their place. There is no hope, I think if we wait until our politicians reform. They are the ones who have and they don't really need to reform, but we, the people are the have-nots, and we, especially we should be the ones to take the initiative to reverse this trend.
MR has given political leadership to fighting the war against terrorism, and we should contribute by making sure that we keep up our nations' progress by achieving economic stability; and there will be hope for change.
" investment is 100 times worthy than a donation, take my word."
Nicely put! I agree.
Really Cold,
"Our strengths: Beauty, nature, history, and our educational culture. We are more spirited than other Asian countries. What we are missing is a national vision.
Once we set that, we can execute it like the way we are executing our millitary missions."
Very well put bro, I agree. I hope the release from the plague of terrorism will be the best moment to create this vision...and this moment seems to be getting closer, so we should be prepared.
Am I the only one who feels like a cat that pooed on a rock after listening to the political speeches that are aired these days?! Though each of these guys do not SOUND like saints, they want us to understand them to be saints as they are only highlighting the errors that everybody else caused.
Anyways, off for now, hope to catch you marvelous guys soon.
SK
What is the confidence of a foriegn employer (SL born or not) coming down to Sri Lanka and open up a factory?
During the Garment era, my friend had the direct access to Premedasa and Preme was very effective in giving the employers whatever they wanted.
My friend told me, Preme or anyone around him never asked him any money or bribes. The only request was sending some girls in busses to their political meetings as the crowd.
When I talk about politica, I have no bias to any of the parties. My bias is towards the leadership regardless what the party is.
I have made my comments based on my experience and talking to people around me. A medical device company wanted to open up a training center in SL and they have been doing that for number of years. They are frustrated by the support they are getting from the government.
Why the government doesn't value such a thing? That is because it is being run by the friends and relatives of the people who is there to fill everything to their own pockets with no regard to a nation.
Lot of people will find that kind of a situation a turn-off.
You have to understand, we are not an enterprising nation. Entrepreneurial skills aren't being promoted within our culture.
We have very provided highly skilled people around the world and who aren't really motivated by creating enterprises.
We could have a 10 year plan on achieving what we want to achieve. We need to take these messages to people and make them ask tough questions from their politicians.
Patriotism is on the rise due to war victories? Has it got enough legs to take us to the next level?

From my life experience, those who think like you are rare.
I think they talk to like-minded and they know it.
Often I try very hard not to misrepresent myself, yet people use the wrong perception on me.
Politicians know how the wrong perception is made in followers minds and therefore misrepresent themselves.
When we look at a politician, our mindset is like what can he get me than what can he deliver to a nation.
We are all guilty of this.
Really Cold,
Oops before I really go...
Thinking again, after reading your response to SK, I too made a slight adjustment in my perspective.
"Patriotism is on the rise due to war victories? Has it got enough legs to take us to the next level?"
This is a real concern.
There should be some form of political input to facilitate even the weakest attempt by our people to strengthen our economy. So far, it is hard to see this happening.
The best way is to do this by example, rather than by speech. Unfortunately I don't see that happening.
I hope the political millage that the present govt. gets through winning the war will be used to genuinely promote economic development in our country.
If our advisers are mere yes-men or if our rulers don't follow the advise that is given, or if the advisers are not up to standard, we will loose as a nation.
Sujeewa K, Rover and Really Cold,
Hats off for the posts you three have produced during my sleep. This is really what we required to build understanding and friendship. Once we achieve that rest is easy.
Thanks, mates!
"I think they talk to like-minded and they know it.
Yep, really cold, this is what I think as well. I put this another way to a friend of mine and got accused of being having an elitist perspective! This is what I said.
Only less than 10% of the population is highly educated, and can really make an educated choice. But politicians are chosen by 90% of the population and politicians only aim for that population among voters. One of the best ways to get our of this vicious cycle is to have a highly educated population, who would ultimately choose the leaders.
Today, people say stuff like "tomorrow is a new day, the future lies ahead" and get away with it! Seriously!
This is why I think that multiple researchers have found that democracies are highly stable when the per-capita GDP rises above 4000 dollars. (Level of education and per-capita GDP are correlated)

TamilNut says "India, Co-Chairs backing war: Sri Lanka
[TamilNet, Friday, 23 January 2009, 16:29 GMT]
Sri Lanka said Friday its military offensive against the Tamil Tigers was supported by India and the Co-Chairs to the donor community – US, EU, Norway and Japan. Foreign Minister Rohitha Bogollagama said the Co-Chairs and Sri Lanka had a common objective of a speedy solution to the conflict. Meanwhile, Japan’s special envoy Yashushi Akashi, was quoted by the Defence Ministry as “expressing satisfaction at the efforts by the Sri Lanka Government to safeguard the civilian population in the north.” Almost a hundred civilians died this week in the military’s deliberate shelling of populated areas, including a ‘safe zone’ Colombo announced"
LTTPeers cannot lie & mislead the world any more. The whole world know that GOSL is trying to stop Genocide of Tamil by LTTP.
Hence every country in the world, support the war against LTTP to liberate Tamil ciivilian.

Hi LTTP Civillian
Read the article below published in Hindu
"Speaking on a special calling attention motion in the Assembly, Mr. Alphonse said the accord secured some rights for the Tamils and could have secured more.
“But the LTTE spoiled everything. They took assistance from the Sri Lankan Army and confronted the Indian Peace Keeping Force (IPKF),” he alleged.
Citing reports in The Hindu, he said the LTTE was not allowing the staff of the United Nations to return from the Wanni with the convoy that had gone there to deliver relief supplies to the displaced Tamils.
Some parties were raising the issue to isolate the Congress and bring down the DMK government. “What is your agenda? Come clean and we are ready to help in finding a solution,” he said.
Hi Civilian
War will be stopped as soon as trapped Civilians are liberated from LTTP grip.

[The Tamil Nadu Assembly on Friday made a “final appeal” to the Centre, urging it to take steps to stop the war in Sri Lanka “today itself.” Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi who moved the resolution said the ceasefire should be followed by a political solution to the conflict and permanent peace in the land of the Buddha. “I am moving the resolution expecting a positive outcome. If it fails to produce the desired effect, the DMK’s executive committee or general council will discuss the issue and take a decision,” he said]
he... he... he... Hilarious
Toiletnadu jokers seem to have upgraded themselves to... CLOWNS!
This circus... ladies and gentlemen... continues with painful insults to the Tamil terrorists and their coolies who thought that proud Sri Lankans would melt in the face of these clowns.
What a costly miscalculation!
Bring them on Tamil terrorists... bring them on... This small island nation never needed weapons to survive thousands of years ... shoulder to shoulder with bigger 'sharks'... Because... we have the 'brains' that stateless Tamil terrorists lack... They only know how to lick!
But this time... we will... SriLankanize traces of all 'Tamil' homeland in our great country...
Seriously... I agree that in the past... we did not 'see' the amount of rich resources in the North and East... Never too late now... to give them 'due' attention.

Lalith, however when I was in Peradeniya E-Fac, all of us Sinhalese, Tamils, Muslims used to Study together, Eat together, Sing together, Play together etc, etc, (except of course sleep together!!) There were a couple of Sinhalese batchas who shared their rooms with Tamils. We had no "ethnic" problem!
BUT that was during '67-'69, long before all this LTTE bullshit began.!
JWick, if you attended E-Fac during 1967-1969, what you say is absolutely true! We Sinhala, Tamil and Muslim students Studied together, Ate together, Sang together, Played together...it was so much fun and good fellowship! And indeed, we had no "ethnic problem" at all!
What is more, if you attended E-Fac then, you are a batchmate of mine!!

Sujeewa Kokawala,
Bravo! Agree with you 100%! As you know, I have been advocating these same things at length at this blog for some time!
It looks like, we are on our way to generating a consensus here at DW:
1. That Sri Lanka should become largely self sufficient in weapons and use military R&D and local production for external sales to support it (following Israel's model in this regard)
2. That Sri Lankan expatriates should help right away by bringing businesses and capital to Sri Lanka
3. That making and keeping the friendship of many large military and economic allies, without becoming puppets of any of them, is a key means of ensuring Sri Lanka's survival,
4.Your last comment, NOT SHARING OUR SOLDIERS in other people's wars except, perhaps, in UN sponsored multi-national peacekeeping missions at host country's invitation, is very important. Getting involved in other peoples wars, would be a sure fire recipe for creating enemies where none exist.
5. I would add to these another key item: Maintaining a large (500,000 man), well trained, well equipped, highly motivated SLDF, together with a 4,000,000 man National Guard including every adult who can bear arms. National Guard personnel would be part-time, trained periodically, and assigned to work in concert with SLDF units.
FIRST POST (PARTIAL):

Again, I do not expect a major revcolutions in attitudes and perspectives of Sri Lankans.
Ah, one way to devlop SL is if all our expats try bringing at least one business [with foeign capital] to SL. It can be their own or their brokered. I'm not calling for favor here, they should and can take their fair share back. This is business.
SL provides ideal env for foreign outsourcing of any trade. Only Software and Business Processes [BPO] have come yet. Even they have not yet penetrated significantly.
But you ought to do it now. Pls don't wait till 225 saints takes oath in the diyawanna asylum and SL functions with 0 corruption. Also do not expect SL ppl to change their way of thinking for you to do it. No, the ppl will remain same for at least the forseable future, it is YOU who can work out a way to bridge the profit oriented westerners to invest and get sometimes lethargic and miss calibrated Sri Lankan to work for them. I think ppl call this entrepreneurship, right? I know a handful who really did this.
Investment is 100 times worthy than a donation, take my word.
SECOND POST:
January 23, 2009 11:44 PM
I found it alarming to see some people envisioning pitting China against India, for our survival.
In fact we're the bridge between India, Pak, China. And we should never try to be a vulture. We gotta be happy for being friendly with three different mutual enemies. Making a living out of it is walking on the sharp edge of a sward.
Instead, why don't we try to unite Asians to play against the wide economic coalitions - like EU, South AMerica Countries, ect. that are being formed throughout the world?
But not this. Asians are genuinely cunning and super powers love to do this. Recent economic agreements with India is a good example. Instead of doing this we should keep up our good will and treat thenm individually. A great Asian unity would be harder than a great world unity. :)
When the economic playing field becomes flatter, we will need some of these larger coalitions to thrive (not just survive). So I think this is what we should aim to do.
Will joining EU improve Luxumberg? I doubt. SL should think of producing for the big asian markets, not getting generalized. SL should be a special case. If generalized we will not get anything.
I feel that we have an opportunity here. West is good with us, and the super powers in Asia consider Sri Lanka to be strategically placed to become an economic powerhouse that would be useful to them. So we should make use of this to do good to our region and us.
SL is not getting genuine investments. We shouldn't depend on politicians. Let them dance in frenzy, but we should find other ways. See my prev comment for one such idea.
Remember that Japan and China still remembers the favors we did to them so many years ago. Asians are good in remembering for a long time the good (or the bad) that is done, and we should make use of this trait positively to become a progressive nation.
By dealing with Japan, China, Korea, Asean countries, India, and Pak individually. Not by bringing them all under one flag.
Can we talk about making our SLDFs stronger so that we achieve these loftier goals. Specifically to help crush the notion of terrorism in Asia (and perhaps the world). When this happens, I think other progressive nations will seriously consider us as equals.
We need to start producing arms. We should take Israel as one good example. We can become the leader in weaponry production of modern warfare against terror. Israel is said to be that, but still their version of terrorism is very different to elsewhere.
Strong SLDF will never be without local weapon production.
Apart from weapons we can share knowledge, but not our soldiers.

My source confirmed that the LTTE did attacked one of our Dora's and sunk it. 20 were killed including 3 officers.
It seems that the navy was doing a TV documentary on that day and had a line of Dora's and other fighting crafts near Mullattive cost line. LTTE may have thought this as a sea-landing and sent their boats to attack ours.
@Ananda
[It looks like, we are on our way to generating a consensus here at DW:]
Great job and well done, just like Saddam Hussin's cabinet. When you have the blinders on for some of the selected people here, you may have the feeling that every one is agreeing with you. Open the window and read what others write. You are still not the president of the nation.
[1. That Sri Lanka should become largely self sufficient in weapons and use military R&D and local production for external sales to support it (following Israel's model in this regard)]
Do we still need to do that when LTTE is gone?
[2. That Sri Lankan expatriates should help right away by bringing businesses and capital to Sri Lanka]
People with more money are more careful about them than people with less money. What is the intensive for them to invest in Sri Lanka beside the emotional issue. Lot of people living in abroad have lost over 50% of their net worth due to the global economic crisis. Is it fair to create expectations without a basis?
[4.Your last comment, NOT SHARING OUR SOLDIERS in other people's wars except, perhaps, in UN sponsored multi-national peacekeeping missions at host country's invitation, is very important. Getting involved in other peoples wars, would be a sure fire recipe for creating enemies where none exist.]
Let the soldiers do whatever they want to with their lives. Some of who fought may have found it as a passion and it is up to them on whether they want to serve in a foriegn mission or not.
[5. I would add to these another key item: Maintaining a large (500,000 man), well trained, well equipped, highly motivated SLDF, together with a 4,000,000 man National Guard including every adult who can bear arms.

"However, pardon my expression, I do smell a bloody rotting rat here…"
Perhaps the bad smell is emanating from Dumb-Arse's dumbass flatulating in attempts to denigrate Gotymbara and his martyred SLN cousin.
Wow! Wow indeed!
"5) I called my “sources” in Colombo and no body knew anything about this Dvora being “sunk” or the killing of 19 on board (out of 20)…and yes, although they know of many “Abeysinghes” serving on Dvoras and in other SLN ships, nobody had any info about a certain Lt. Comm “Abesinghe” dieing along with a 18 of his crew members and also his Dvora ship been “sunk”…(Mmmm very unusual)"
What is not so unusual is Dumb-Arse pretending to have "sources" at the MOD, when in reality he doesn't have neither jack nor shit (truly Arse-ithri is insulting the armed forces by claiming non-existent links with them).
Straight from the government's newspaper:
It has been reported that the Officer commanding of the Dvora Squadron Lt. Commander N.L. Abeysinghe, Lieutenant Sampath OIC of the Dvora, Lieutenant Perera and 17 sailors were on board the board the Fast Attack Craft bearing number P- 434.
It had suddenly blasted and sunk in the sea within one minutes after the blast. One sailor had managed to escape and got into another boat, which was operating closer by at the time of the blast.
Arse-ithri's "Colombo sources" are nothing more than his German pedophile employers who pay his ammi good money to tear into his dumbass, on demand! LOL
Wow! Wow indeed!!!
Arse-ithri's truly despicable effort to slander Gotymbara and Lt. Commander Abeysinghe stands exposed for all real patriots to see (and Gotymbara stands vindicated). That leaves the Dumb-Arse with two options:
1) Admit to being a total, complete Dumb-Arse and offer a sincere apology to Gotymbara and his family for being a Dumb-Arse, while pledging to desist from insulting Ranaviru and their families or
2) Remain an unrepentant Dumb-Arse, continuing to flatulate like an incontinent senior citizen and braying denials like a confused LTTE bootlicker! (the more likely outcome)
So let's all see which option Arse-ithri takes. Either way, it will be truly entertaining.

Rover, RC, SK,
Thanks for the good discussion. Interesting stuff. Keep them coming.
RC, however I agree with Ananda on the need to maintain a large security force. Simply as a deterrent. If you look at Singpaore, for a such a small country it possesses an advanced defense force.
Having such force at our disposal, we should be able to quickly respond to any future regrouping of these Terras. Any sign of such activity, we should stomp them so badly, they would think twice before they try it again. We should have our White Van squads ready to be deployed at short notice.
Secondly fighting this terrorist war for 30 odd years, SLDF had accumulated lot of valuable experience....we should now put it to good use during peace time. Secondly I don't want to see unemployed ex-Solders (whom we now call our heroes) becoming robbers just because they cannot adjust to civilian life and find means of employment.
Well that's my view.

Tamilnet asks all die-ass-pora to denounce Sri Lankan identity.
"First of all it should start thinking that it is made of Eezham Tamils. It should not associate with anything that is termed as Sri Lanka. It should tell its children that they hail from Eezham Tamil origins, they have nothing to do with Sri Lankan identity and their country is now occupied by Sri Lanka."
http://www.tamilnet.com/art.html?catid=79&artid=28105
I think its for the country if they do that. Could all die-ass-pora fools surrender Sri Lankan passports and obtain a passport from what ever the country that gave you bigus refugeee status ?
One other benefit of this is, name Sri Lanka will not get associated with Tamil gang violance, murders ans all the othewr crimes done by die-ass-pora.
Now what happen is when LTTE tamil gangs murder people in London and suburbs that goes as some Sri Lankans got involved in murder.
So shall we ask all the die-ass-pora to denounce Sri Lankan identity asap ?

"2) It is good to have goals, however having such goals can risk lives of soldiers unnecessarily."
At this point it makes no difference whatsoever. If the LTTE is thrashed to the point that someone predicts that it will be annihilated before Independence Day, then no amount of information will be able to save the LTTE more or less allow it to harm the armed forces any more than it can otherwise. Gotabhaya can publicly announce the locations of all echelon HQs (actually the Tigers already knew the locations of brigade-level HQs- didn't appear to do much good for them!), locations of ammunitions dumps, schedules of supply runs etc., and it won't change the endgame.
Gotymbara's sad story (which was confirmed by the govt's newspaper, down to the name of his cousin) will not help the LTTE at all. Sure the LTTE knows that its suicide attack succeeded (in addition to numerous similar attacks it conducted in the past), but in a matter of weeks the Sea Tigers will be an extinct species.

Also, on January 20, the Navy Operations Room had informed the Sri Lanka Air Force that Navy boats had sighted an aircraft around 7.25 pm that had attempted to land in the Chalai area. They had further said that Navy craft had directed fire at the aircraft.
But when contacted the Katunayake Air Traffic Control Tower, an officer who did not want to be identified said that he was on duty at that time and their radar had not picked up any flight signals in the region at the time.
In the meantime, Sri Lanka Air Force spokesman Wing Commander Janaka Nanayakkara said on that particular day and time, no foreign aircraft had entered or strayed into Sri Lankan airspace.
Furthermore, the Sri Lanka Army Northern Command said its soldiers too had neither sighted nor heard any sound of any aircraft.
It has further come to light that an officer from Navy Headquarters had called the media and released the news of the boats firing at an aircraft.
When journalists had tried to verify it, they had realized that the story was false or fabricated.

We will have a difference in opinion and no problem.
[RC, however I agree with Ananda on the need to maintain a large security force. Simply as a deterrent.]
Who is going to be the potential threat provided LTTE is gone completely?
Ananda is proposing expanding our military. Don't we need cash for rebuilding Sri Lanka after the war?
[Having such force at our disposal, we should be able to quickly respond to any future regrouping of these Terras. ]
You think the current operation isn't sufficient in combing these Terras?
[Secondly fighting this terrorist war for 30 odd years, SLDF had accumulated lot of valuable experience....we should now put it to good use during peace time. ]
I thought the experience is only valuable during last two years. In the previous years we kind of shot in our own foot.
[Secondly I don't want to see unemployed ex-Solders (whom we now call our heroes) becoming robbers just because they cannot adjust to civilian life and find means of employment.]
This is my concern as well. There should be plans to integrate them to the civilian society. We need to find positions for big brasses for foreign defensive consultant opportunities.

/*

TamilNet wants to denounce race agnostic 'Sri Lankan' identity in favour of 'Eelam' or 'Ceylonese'. I doubt the moron knows both stands for Hela with native Sinhela identiy. Hela ->
Ela -> Eelam and Sinhala -> Siela -> Ceylon.
The Sinhalese or Moslems will care less what "identity" Tamils will walk around with as long as its unattached to pieces of real estate outside of Tamilzh Nadu. The only time non-Tamil will care about "Tamil identity" is perhaps when having a nice kothu rotti, most significant contribution to humanity by Tamilzh.
Apino Dannachess said...
Secondly I don't want to see unemployed ex-Solders (whom we now call our heroes) becoming robbers just because they cannot adjust to civilian life and find means of employment.
Apino, you bring out a very important issue here!
The home of one of my sisters, who is dental surgeon in Sri Lanka, was invaded by a gang of ex-servicemen (possibly deserters) about 10 years ago. They stole everything of value she had acquired over the years, and boundup my sister while they were at it. The leader seemed to be from the local area and was very respectful to my sister, while robbing her!
His explanation was that she must be rich because she had all the stuff they were relieving her of, and that she can buy replacements. My sister, being made of stern stuff, lectured him saying none of this was inherited; that she had worked all her life, 20 years for the Govt and then many more years in private practice, to earn whatever she had. It was a bit of a blow to her confidence in fellow man; especially because she is very charitable, and even holds a free open clinic one day every month to serve those who cannot afford to pay for it. During that period, this was happening everywhere in the suburbs of Colombo, and everybody was barricading their homes against these gangs.
This kind of situation is likely to recur. At the end of the current conflict, two things need to be done:
1. We need to declare an amnesty to SLDF deserters in the last 30 years, and give them not-too-onerous ways of redeeming themselves in the eyes of the law. Then, we should find them ways and means of becoming useful members of society. It serves nobody's interest to have a permanent criminalized segment in society; criminalized partly because they lost confidence in the leaders of our country in their ability to win the war, and deserted.
2. We need to give a place of honor, and PREFERENCE IN EMPLOYMENT, to those who have served honorably in the Armed Forces and left when they are involuntarily discharged, or voluntarily retire from the Armed Forces.
3. To these ends, we must develop various segments of the economy, in commercial security establishments, in defense industries, and elsewhere, to accommodate these servicemen. Sri Lankan expatriates can help in this by bringing appropriate defense technologies, non-defense businesses, and capital back home to the motherland.

ananda,
sorry to hear about your sister. wrt post-war demobilisation of solders, it has to be done with some caution. most are relatively trigger happy. we dont need them without doing anything useful. as they say idle mind is devils backyard.
Apino Dannachess,
"RC, however I agree with Ananda on the need to maintain a large security force. Simply as a deterrent."
I asked Ananda-USA how a 500,000-man SLA will be able to deter let alone stop a single air strike of the Indian Air Force. To that I'll add a blockade by the Indian Navy. Ananda has not been able to furnish a response.
The main argument against maintaining a large force (vice a small but well-trained and equipped force) is the cost. Singapore has a large defense force but it has an even larger economy to feed it. We don't.
I would argue that the Malaysian Army would provide a better model, with 80,000 regulars and 50,000 reserves (for a population of 28 million), but again I would argue that economy drives military development. That is how Malaysia built an impressive Air Force and Navy- the real keys to Sri Lankan security from external threats.
"Having such force at our disposal, we should be able to quickly respond to any future regrouping of these Terras."
You don't need a large force to stomp out a regrouping of the LTTE. A relatively small force having strong links and familiarity with the Tamil community can accomplish this. Brains trumps brawn.
History has demonstrated that the greatest threat to SL internal security was moronic politicians relying on thug violence against entire communities to shore up their lack of credibility.
"Secondly fighting this terrorist war for 30 odd years, SLDF had accumulated lot of valuable experience....we should now put it to good use during peace time."
I entirely agree. These skills can probably be better maintained by a smaller force that demands higher standards.
"Secondly I don't want to see unemployed ex-Solders (whom we now call our heroes) becoming robbers just because they cannot adjust to civilian life and find means of employment."
An excellent point, which is why the SLA should demobilize very slowly and carefully, in pace with the diminishing terrorist threat AND improved opportunities for SL youth. Opportunities will not improve, however, if all of SL's resources are sucked to feed a bloated military.

If you write this way to anyone on this blog once again, you will learn a lesson.
Wijayapala is a very good Sri Lankan writer and he is not LTTE and not even a Tamil.
Most of the people on this blog knows who you are as well as your family.
This is your first and last warning whether you see this or not.
Wije, if you would like to contact his mom and dad and show them what he write here, I will be glad to forward that information for you. I know people who can contact you :)

If civilians wanted to leave they could at any moment. How hard is it really to walk across 75km of Mullaitivu forest?
Civillians choose to stay because all of their needs are being met. Would you walk out of your house if it had food, fertiliser for farms, cows and air conditioning?
Civillians in wanni have air conditioning? that's why they dont want to leave? LMAO, oh this dumb fucker keeps cracking me up
peter ass wipe must be the dumbest LTTP I've ever seen :)))
Chenna boys you are all low cast. If you come to my house no moda Bandas would be sitting on chairs. If you're lucky I'd let you sit on the floor with other low cast Tamils. Lol
I personally dont like the cast system but i embrace it because it's a part of authentic tamil culture.
When will Sri Lanka buy those MiG-29s?

well said! Beauty is Panhinda also gave a nice reply to Priyashantha.
I couldn't stop laughing from my hotel room in Tauranga.
Yes, even I can publish all info regarding Asithri, if he fucked up again with Sinhala Buddhist Wijayapala.
Asithri think again you have a reputation to protect.
We will not tolerate bashing innocent patriots anymore than necessay.
guys,
could we let go of this talk of dovra saga. I understand there's information supporting the allegations and against it. Lets wait and see. Until them lets try to behave ourselves.
fight fight
oh dont stop I'm enjoying this
Priyashantha,
I had stopped responding to you after establishing months ago that you are truly dumber than dirt. This however takes the cake:
"What is a Deborah"
'Deborah' is another way of saying the Hebrew name 'Dvora' which our Israeli-made FACs are named after. Funny for a "defense enthusiast" you sure don't know shit about the weapons that the armed forces use.
"Where did the other 10 come from"
Why don't you ask the Daily News that? Or the SLN?? Arse-ithri has "Colombo sources" who will be glad to fill you in (literally)!
Rana got hurt when I exposed Saradiyel.

'Deborah' is another way of saying the Hebrew name 'Dvora' which our Israeli-made FACs are named after.
So that's why the other motherfcuker used it in the first place.
Thank you anyway.
Athsiri, he's anti indian and anti tamil, typical Chenna boy
but india still supports sri lanka.
LTTE has never done anything untowards india, except that little incident involving Rajiv. India should come to our side and help up wipe out these moda low cast Bandas.
Rana,
"I couldn't stop laughing from my hotel room in Tauranga."
Keep on laughing- Dumb-Arse has blown a gasket! Look how he's foaming and spluttering about. Pretty funny huh??? Especially the part about going to TN and becoming a male prostitute for 70 million Indian Tamils- like I give a rat's ass about him infecting TN with his veneral diseases!!!
agitated Athsiri
mental athsiri
funny athsiri
Dear priyashantha,
"Thank you anyway."
For saying that you're dumber than dirt? You're very welcome!
ReallyCold,
"he is not LTTE and not even a Tamil."
Well if you know that much about me then you probably know all about Arse-ithri's unfortunate parentage!
"I know people who can contact you"
af7802@yahoo.com. Bring it on brother.
Chenna boys need someone to fight with and tamils have to be on the receiving end. this forum is a perfect example. Now eelam is almost wiped out, they're back to fighting among themselves. This is what happens when you dont have any structure in your society, the lack of cast system.
Lol
Fight fight fight
I'll decide who wins
Then we can all sing namo namo moda lanka

Just keep out of this...this is not for you to barge in...unless you want the "juicy stuff" too hurled your way...this is not a time to be picky...we have virtually won this war and we patriots who elected and supported this GOSL have reckoned...this is a time to "take no prisoners"...yes, rather this is a time for "scorched-earth" policy...in a converse sense!
So, just keep out... get it...if not I might have a totally different opinion of you (from what I had since when that issue came up with your daughters and how they were humiliated here by some bloggers)...
OaO Asithri
Rana,
I think you should say something to Athsiri, he's asking for it!
Man the VD has really got to me . Darn I should never have slept with those cheap whores (the so called eastern beauty) . I was so hard up after losing all my money in the stock market .

Can. But i doubt whether it can have a pragmatic impact on country. We're not any influence to ppl who really work on the solution and most of us live abroad.
Also, "solution" is not a theory, but should happen gradually on ground level. It is more evolutionary than designed.

"Truth" was the causality in the Navy’s recent encounter with Sea Tigers off the coast of Mullaitivu
Sat, 2009-01-24 06:43
By Ruwan Weerakoon in Colombo
Colombo, 24 January, (Asiantribune.com): In the recent encounter with the Sea Tigers off the coast of Mullaitivu, it is now alleged that the biggest causality was the "Truth", and Sri Lanka Navy failed to disclose the true scenario of that tragic episode.
Sri Lanka Navy in that sea battle with Sea Tigers on Tuesday 20th January, the Navy has in fact lost 19 sailors on that day.
It was reported by the Sri Lanka Navy that the Sea Tigers attacked a convoy of Sri Lanka Navy off the coast of Mullaitivu sinking a Super Dvora Fast Attack Craft on Monday, 20th January around 11:30 p.m.
But Sri Lanka Navy said its naval craft thwarted an attempt by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) to get away from the besieged district. One SLN FAC sustained damages due to an explosion of an LTTE suicide boat close by, the Navy spokesman also said.
It is now reliably learnt that the said Fast Attack Craft was sunk and later the Navy deployed divers to salvage it. According to a naval source, the FAC had broken into three sections and the Navy divers had retrieved only some high caliber weapons from the craft.
Though there were 20 Naval personnel in the Dvora crew, but only one was rescued. What happened to other crew members?
The question now arises as to why the Sri Lanka Navy had not released the figures of the sailors missing in action and the names of those valiant sailors including the Officer in Command of the craft, Lieutenant commander N.G.C. Abeysinghe, who martyred in the service to the motherland.
It was further learnt that the Navy Headquarters has informed only to the next-of-kin of three crew members that their loved ones had gone missing in action.
Also, on January 20, the Navy Operations Room had informed the Sri Lanka Air Force that Navy boats had sighted an aircraft around 7.25 pm that had attempted to land in the Chalai area. They had further said that Navy craft had directed fire at the aircraft.
But when contacted the Katunayake Air Traffic Control Tower, an officer who did not want to be identified said that he was on duty at that time and their radar had not picked up any flight signals in the region at the time.
In the meantime, Sri Lanka Air Force spokesman Wing Commander Janaka Nanayakkara said on that particular day and time, no foreign aircraft had entered or strayed into Sri Lankan airspace.
Furthermore, the Sri Lanka Army Northern Command said its soldiers too had neither sighted nor heard any sound of any aircraft.
It has further come to light that an officer from Navy Headquarters had called the media and released the news of the boats firing at an aircraft.
When journalists had tried to verify it, they had realized that the story was false or fabricated.

“Take steps to stop war in Sri Lanka today itself”
Special Correspondent
Tamil Nadu House appeals to Centre
CHENNAI: The Tamil Nadu Assembly on Friday made a “final appeal” to the Centre, urging it to take steps to stop the war in Sri Lanka “today itself.”
Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi who moved the resolution said the ceasefire should be followed by a political solution to the conflict and permanent peace in the land of the Buddha.
“I am moving the resolution expecting a positive outcome. If it fails to produce the desired effect, the DMK’s executive committee or general council will discuss the issue and take a decision,” he said.
The AIADMK’s deputy leader in the Assembly O. Panneerselvam rejected the resolution and staged a walkout with his colleagues before it was placed before the House for voting, stating his party could not be part of the government’s “drama.” Its ally, the MDMK, followed suit.
The Chief Minister quipped that AIADMK MLAs “deserved praise” as they had succeeded in smearing the resolution which had found a place in the heart of the Tamils.
To drive home the point that the Centre had the duty to intervene and stop the war, the Chief Minister quoted the country’s first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru’s message to the Indian National Congress in 1939: “India is weak today; and cannot do much for her children abroad. But she does not forget them and every insult to them is humiliation and sorrow for her. A day will come when her long arm protection and her strength will compel justice for them.”
Mr. Karunanidhi said Sri Lanka had become a graveyard of innocent Tamils and the United Nations had also condemned their killing.
“The bodies of Tamils are piling up. We are no longer receiving news that a few children survived the bombing by the Sri Lankan Army. Now they are being wiped out completely. A race which ruled the world is being subjected to annihilation by inhuman people. How are we going to save them,” he asked.
“We are making the request with tears in our eyes since India, the biggest democracy, has the right to intervene wherever genocide takes place,” he further said.
Reacting to the argument of those who wanted to know “what was the point in continuing in power when nothing could be done for the Tamils in Sri Lanka,” Mr. Karunanidhi said some efforts, including the resolution, had become possible because of the government. “We are ready to sacrifice the government if it will lead to securing Tamil Eelam,” he said.
Earlier, speaking on the special calling attention motion, Congress whip Peter Alphonse said the Sri Lankan Tamil issue was being used to weaken and sideline his party with a view to bringing down the DMK government in Tamil Nadu.
PMK leader G.K. Mani said the lives of 52 lakh Tamils could not be dismissed by dragging the LTTE into the picture.
CPI(M) member G. Govindaswamy said an autonomous state within a united Sri Lanka was the way out of the ethnic crisis.

Congress sees no ultimatum on Sri Lanka
Special Correspondent
NEW DELHI: The Congress on Friday refused to see the “final appeal” made by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi to the Centre to make an immediate intervention to ensure a ceasefire in Sri Lanka as an ultimatum.
Responding to questions on the resolution passed by the Tamil Nadu Assembly seeking India’s intervention in ensuring a ceasefire in the island nation, Congress spokesman Manish Tewari said Mr. Karunanidhi’s statement was not couched in terms of an ultimatum.
When it was pointed out that the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) — a key constituent of the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) — was planning to call its general council to decide on the next course of action if the Centre ignored the “final appeal,” Mr. Tewari said “let us wait and see what the government does.”
Asked whether the Congress was trying to push the DMK out of the UPA by not responding to the concerns of the Tamil people, the spokesman said the suggestion was erroneous as every ally was valuable.
If moda Bandas had a system of gods and godesses and and did recitals and ring little bells then this wouldn't happen to you. Look at Athsiri.

Dear Peter,
"If you want me to answer your questions then you should adress me by my honourary name"
Would that be "Panniyan" Selvan???
"You understanding of how the Tamil caste system used to work is very limited."
Actually it is your understanding of the caste system which is very limited. Not very surprising given your ignorance of Sri Lankan Tamil history.
The Jaffna Vellalas were well-known for preferring the company of Sinhala Govigamas than lower Tamil castes (and this attitude was reciprocated by caste-conscious Govigamas as well), as well as treating their own local low-castes worse than any outside community (including both Sinhalese and even Muslims). Varatharaja Perumal, the former NE Chief Minister, was able to teach economics at Jaffna University despite his low caste because he was an outsider.
"A lot of people give credit to LTTE for getting rid of caste system."
More horse-manure from Pete; the caste system is alive and kicking in Tamil Eelam:
Tigers face community wrath over Rajadurai killing
Principal Rajadurai belonged to a "Dalit" or so called depressed caste of Jaffna. His foul murder is perceived by fellow caste members as a deliberate act directed against their people. The past week has seen feelings run high. It is doubtful whether the LTTE beleaguered in the East by "regionalism' can withstand the "casteism" let loose by the Rajadurai murder.
Even your hero Sivaram noted how caste was undermining Tamil nationalism:
'At the same time, we must face the reality that over the last quarter of a century we have been reaping the consequences of our failure to build a nationalist consensus, which transcended the internal differences of the Tamil speaking people such as caste, region or religion.'
Sivaram concludes the article by pointing out that Tamil Nationalism is now hostage to a westernised class subscribing to ‘Sun TV culture’, more interested in preserving privileges than fighting for rights. Assertion of region, caste and religion accompany this debasement of nationalism. Sivaram observes the sorry state of affairs in which a book released by an LTTE supporter advertises his caste.
[Though there were 20 Naval personnel in the Dvora crew, but only one was rescued. What happened to other crew members?]
According to our prominent resident defence experts, Ali and Mosquito, the Dvora can't take more than 10 crew members.
Hmm..maybe we can learn lot from these pundits.
wijayapala,
I'm a high cast tamil and I could choose how to treat low casts. Old days they were not allowed into high cast houses. But I allow them to come in, and even let them sit on the floor. I would choose to treat sinhalese worse than the lowerst cast tamils.
Cast System creates descipline. That's what you moda Bandas have missing. That's why we prevailed for 30 years.
"I am going to pleasure my self some more with the baseball bat . peter you can come and watch . It is only you and I who have such oversized egos that we call our selves investment bankers etc . we are truly birds of a feather ."

[Sri Lanka Navy in that sea battle with Sea Tigers on Tuesday 20th January, the Navy has in fact lost 19 sailors on that day]
Even our great leader VP makes mistakes but nothing of this scale. The most we had lost in one spot was 10, Black Tigers that is. All other times it was ill trained recruits they dont really count as tiger cadres because they lack elite fighting skills of those 10 that died.
fake bhairav is in action now.
last post was from the fake.
cheers---
fake Bhairav is the one who is saying others are fake. Judge me by the intelligent content of my articles.
Have you ever thought why SL army is not as determined as LTTE?
Most LTTE cadres these days conceive in bunkers while fighting. Although the mothers are young, no one below 12 though, fathers are usually commanders. So even while inside mothers tummy they get accustomed to war, they get good war genes. Result: a fighting force like no other.

there seem to be some people (even in SLAF) who think it could be a burden specially after the war.
but i think we must upgrade our air force so that in the future we could pose a threat even to potential nadu terrorist camps.
depending on indians for air defense systems somehow makes me very uneasy. these guys could blackmail us one day.
we should try to add russian or chinese systems as competition.
but cost factors is a question mark & should be overcome systematically.

puran, duzz let us know of any updates
be back later
in a discovery programme called "future weapons" i saw a MBT with a 4 inch thick metal armour pierced like butter. a shoulder held missile was fired by a single person in a demo.
then there was a high speed machine gun that fires something like 1,000 rounds a minute using 4 barrels. the devastation it caused had to be seen to be believed.
weapons are getting smaller, smarter & deadlier. this is the reason why LTTE remnants (whatever name they may call themselves) should not be given any police powers or an independant security apparatus.
we should close all security gaps & hermetically seal off the north east.
the sri lankan security forces must focus on these future weapons to counter any indian threat of the future. since we don have the numbers (relatively) we must concentrate on the lean & mean angle.
Can any one help me to get LOGOS of The Special Forces / Commandos/STF .It should be in a High resolution format ,

it's obvious beyond reasonable doubt that tamils cannot rule themselves due to being brought up in a life steeped in caste differences.
while the sinhala have a similar system the difference is that in hinduism it's "official".
while buddha fought the caste system hinduism teaches kids from a very young age about the creation of castes from different body parts. a fatal division.
so tamils obviously have a different "THOUGHT SYSTEM" banged into their heads from the time they can speak. this we sinhala simply do not understand.
so sinhala buddhists trying to "understand" tamil grievances is like trying to mix oil with water. the totally confused tamils don even understand the meaning themselves.
so rather than "understand" tamils it's better to "MAKE TAMILS UNDERSTAND" that sri lanka is not for the primitive tribalists but for the modern & civilised.
thoughtful guy,
isnt that the same attitude that you're preaching that got us into all this mess inthe first place?
when they killed 13 officers in 1983 if we went up there showed whose the boss we could've saved 1000's of lives. But no what did we do? exactly what you're preaching, being weak and passive.
when you see injustice nip them off at the bud. learn it, put it into practice.

"Could this forum used to find some solutiions to develop a united sri lanka after the end of the war which is very close(to match at least Singapore), sinhala, tamils, burghers, malays together."
Well, if you have been reading this blog, ignoring the fist fights that erupt from time to time, you will see two major areas being addressed:
1. How to win the war to preserve Sri Lanka as one nation with the least cost in lives and treasure, and
2. How to secure, maintain peace, and ensure prosperity in Sri Lanka in the future.
With regard to the second area, there is a consensus emerging. I include these consensus items in the following list together with many of my own ideas.
2.1 All citizens should have Equal Rights and Equal Responsibilities, irrespective of caste, creed, ethnicity, or language
2.2 A single Sri Lankan Identity should be developed through ethnic integration.
Many ways of achieving this have been suggested, including:
2.2.1 Demographic Homogenization of the population so that there is no area of the country that can claim to be mono-ethnic, because all regions of the country will have the same mix of ethnicities
2.2.2 Promoting Empathy between different Sri Lankan communities by increasing harmonious contact between them in schools and in the workplace. For example, children should not be educated in schools segregated on the basis of ethnicity, language or religion. It is difficult to discriminate against people you have lived with in your formative years.
2.2.3 Giving no preference in opportunities for advancement on the basis of caste, creed, ethnicity or language. Merit (Qualifications & Demonstrated ability) should be the only criterion for advancement.
2.2.4 Government assistance to people should be given solely on the basis of poverty and need, not on the basis of caste, creed, ethnicity or language. In this regard, Sri Lanka should never adopt affirmative action programs similar to the caste-based programs implemented by India.
2.3 Sri Lanka should have a strong central government that is the dominant power in the land. It should have the power to dismiss and assume power over any unit of local government. No local governmental entities large enough to challenge the central government should be allowed. Thus, all Provincial Council governments should be dismantled; District-level governments should be the largest local units of government. Defense and police forces should be under the Central Government. Interactions with foreign governments should be the responsibility of the central government only.
2.4 Strong laws against inciting communal conflicts and anti-national activities; strictly enforced.
2.5 Sri Lanka should maintain a strong defence establishment with a 500,000+ SLDF, and a 4,000,000 strong National Guard including all adults able to bear arms on a compulsory, no-exceptions, basis. The National Guard should serve part-time, be trained periodically, subject to call up on demand, and be assigned to serve in concert with regular SLDF units.
2.6 Sri Lanka should undertake a program of defense R&D, defense university-level education, and military arms and ammunition production. The primary goal should be to meet its own internal national defense needs. The secondary goal should be to meet the cost of a large defense establishment through external sales (a' la' Israel). A third goal would be to contribute to the national economy by generating foreign income, increasing the technical competency of the workforce, and the number of skilled jobs within the country.
...To be extended, subject to reader interest.
jay,
i agree. a series of fatal mistakes by JR/UNP led us to this kanda heliya.
they simply didn't have the vision. all they wanted was to stay in power while their financiers made a few fast bucks.
in 1975 upali motor co. made very good fiats & mazdas. according to my father the mazdas were so good they were called the poor man's benz.
all that vanished with the unregulated opening of imported goods.
sri lankan economy was open for all & sundry. exactly how the west wanted to treat us. in the meanwhile india managed her economy well by restricting imports & making a solid manufacturing base.
today their products are only second to japan's.
so we must encourage & finance entrepreneurs like micro (among others) who are producing vehicles & other items adding value to our economy.
anoher good reason to keep ranil/UNP govt in the dog house.
