The narrowest battleground in Sri Lanka where hundreds fell in previous operations, Muhamalai and Kilali, were captured this afternoon along with elephant pass. Palai still remains uncleared. The 53 and 58 are squeezing in on Palai. LTTE seems to have abandoned the area and retreated.
The 53 Advanced into a 500m2 area initially at Kilali and Muhamalai without much LTTE resistance. The 58, by that time, had reached the lagoon area at EPS.
Meanwhile resistance in Mulaitivu is growing. On 1st January, a massive counter attack broke the 59 Div FDL. 24 Ratha Regiment cadres were killed and another 8 captured, who also later died. 18 soldiers were also killed.
The police Special Task Force and members of the now 41,000 strong Civil Defence Force were deployed to guard the rear of the 59. Fighting is expected to intensify in this area.
TF 3 and 4 are also advancing steadily towards Iranamadu, Puthukudiirippu and Mullayaveli. They will join the 59 in further trapping the LTTE, which is probably 1,000-1,500 strong in Mulaitivu now.

India battling terrorists in Jammu & Kashmir.
May be a "political solution" should be attempted instead of military force!

[Battle continues in Poonch
IANS 07 Jan 2009
JAMMU: The battle raging between militants and security forces in the mountainous forested area of Poonch district in Jammu and Kashmir continued for the seventh day Wednesday and army officials said the intruders had tried to breach the security cordon laid around the area overnight.
Firing during Tuesday night and Wednesday morning indicated that the "terrorists are still present inside", Brigadier General Staff (BGS) of 16 corps Brig Gurdeep Singh told reporters at a press conference near Pati Tar area where the operation is still on.
The battle between security forces and militants in the forests in Mendhar area of Poonch erupted last Thursday. The army laid siege to the Pati Tar peak in the middle of a forest near Mendhar following a tip-off about the presence of a group of hard core militants in hideouts there. Some top commanders of Pakistan based Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terror outfits are reported to be present in the hideouts.
An official had Tuesday said that the security forces had laid a "three-tier cordon around the dense forested area of Pati Tar" and that they would launch a commando assault to flush the terrorists out.
Brig. Singh said the militants had tried to breach the cordon Tuesday night, "but the troops fired at them, pushing them back into the jungle".
He said the exact number of militants hiding in the forests was not known. But Singh dismissed reports of them having built bunkers in the mountainous region.
"One thing is sure... there are no bunkers. The terrorists are using natural caves as their hideouts," the official said.
According to him, 350 soldiers were deployed around the area to carry out the operation.
Singh said there were no air strikes planned. "The army is capable enough to succeed in this operation. But it is not possible to tell how long it will take," he said.
Seven people - four militants and three security personnel - were killed in the first two days of the battle.
The army had recovered ammunition, communication equipment and ration from two hideouts busted last week.
Col. D.K. Kachari, spokesman of the Northern Command in Udhampur, had earlier said that the thick fog and the tough terrain were slowing their operation.
The forested area in Mendhar is on the map of traditional infiltration routes of militants sneaking into the Indian side from Pakistan across the Line of Control that divides Kashmir between the two countries.]

SIRASA" ATTACK BY OWN MASTER PLAN..............
Yes this is a very popular among the common people in SL. One more thing MZ, I heard from an internal source of their company that they have moved their new equipments to Slave island (one of their premises).
I guess lot of you guys aren't living in SL right :D ?
It was planned by them with utmost care as we who are living in SL could understand. Just try to attach the following parts,
1. Army captured Kili and MTV/MBC gave it a very low priority in their daily program set up when other public/private medias were acting very patriotically. (Swarnawahini, SLRC...)
2. President took over the Media ministry under his leadership.
3.There was a carefully planned discussion with Army Spokesperson and some Pro-LTTE people (like Wickramabahu..) on Sirasa FM just to influence that the SLDF did not capture Kili but did some political propaganda.
4.For the past week they reported that a White Van with thugs are trying to throw bombs at them but most IMPORTANTLY they did NOT asked for more security or even they didn't hire any private security firm if they really thought that some one is trying to attack them.
... and the list go on like that...
by the way I am not aware of the understanding that the international community has on this issue (well you can make me informed on that) but apart from the born idiots, we all know that Sirasa did burned themselves and now screaming like a set of monkeys.
"Political Solution" is another War Gambit.
Please see the following extract from Sebastian Rasalingam who opposes excessive devolution to the Provinces:
"Consider one of the devolved regions - presumably run by a provincial council. If the Thimpu Tamils were to have it their way, it would be an upper-caste/upper-class Tamil from the Thimpu set who will get himself elected to power. Even if the Thimpu Tamils fail to get a place under the domination of the Rajapaksa regime, we would certainly end up with some regional war lord who would easily subject himself to Tamil Naadu money bags like a modern day Nedumaran. Such regional lords will have little regard for the problems of the local Tamils. The low caste Tamils, the poor Tamils and peasants have always been suppressed by self-serving Tamil leaders. The hierarchic nature of Tamil society is so ingrained that, when the present Fascist structure imposed by the LTTE disappears, then old hierarchic structure would
re-appear. In fact, a political pamphlet circulated among the Tamils under the title "Son of Eros" already talks of imposing the Hindu hierarchic systems in the Post-Prabakaran era."

India is battling Naxalite rebels in 13 states
By the standards applied to Sri Lanka by Tamil Nadu, this seems to be a case of state sponsored "discrimination" & "genocide" against perfectly innocent people demanding "self-determination"? Shouldn't "political solutions" be attempted instead of military force?

[Chidambaram to chair meeting of Maoist-hit states
IANS 06 Jan 2009
NEW DELHI: Home Minister P. Chidambaram will chair a meeting with the chief ministers of Maoist-hit states to separately address their problems in the war against terrorism.
"The Naxalite (Maoist) affected states have their own problems. I will be again meeting them tomorrow," Chidambaram said at a press conference after an almost eight-hour long conference of chief ministers on internal security.
"I will be spending half a day with them," the home minister added.
According to a home ministry report, 13 of India's states are affected by Maoist violence. Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Chhattisgarh and Jharkahand are the most affected states.
Just how serious the situation is can be gauged from the fact that Maoist rebels in Jharkhand struck at their will in 2008, killing a legislator and several police officials and hijacking a bank delivery van.
For the Jharkhand police, 2008 was a bad year in comparison to 2007. The year saw a total of 405 Maoist-related incidents, up from 278 in 2007. A total of 39 security personnel, including a deputy superintendent of police, were killed against 11 in 2007, according to police data.
The police said they succeeded in killing 99 Maoists over the year against 60 in 2007. Police officials claimed that more rebels were killed in 2008, but they were rarely able to recover the bodies of the rebels killed.
At the same time, the number of civilians killed went down in 2008 to 148 civilians, against 175 in 2007. Of them, 39 were termed police informers by the Maoists and killed, up from 27 killed in 2007 for the same reason.
In Bihar, more policemen rather than Maoist rebels have been killed in over 100 gun battles in the last five years, police officers said.
A police officer in the state home department said that in the last five years, there were 130 shoot-outs in Bihar between the police and the activists of the outlawed Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), in which 76 policemen and 63 rebels were killed.
In Andhra Pradesh, however, Maoist violence touched its lowest ebb ever in 2008 with a 30 percent decline in extremist activities during the year as compared to 2007, said K. Arvind Rao, additional director general of police (intelligence).
Though the state's elite anti-Maoist force Greyhounds lost its 38 personnel in a major ambush by Maoists in neighbouring Orissa, the Andhra police managed to keep the Maoist activity in check through intensive combing operations Rao added.
The New Delhi conclave was held to take stock of the various measures taken on the security and intelligence gathering and sharing fronts in the wake of the Nov 26-29 Mumbai terror attacks that claimed more than 170 live, including those of 26 foreigners.]
Finally, an explicitly clear, no-nonsense statement from the US regarding the war.
Nice to see them depart from their usual spiel of urging us to talk to the tigers.
despite the election of obama, i wonder what were the real underlying factors for this change of heart? is it the new blood at the state department? but then again, they too rely mostly on what their guys at the embassy in colombo update them on. then, who is it at the embassy who has started pressing all the right buttons?
nevertheless, it is the most clearest indication to date that even washington sees it as "game over" for the terrorists.

Have you not heard that all have sired the winning child, but losers are always orphans?
Good morning patriots.
I think US will send a few warships over because moda Lanka is at the heart of geo-politics.
ananda,
mate, your propoganda work in writing to the economist, etc. is much appreciated.
Rascacapac,
No offence taken buddy. I am most positively newer in this forum than you are. I haven't seen your comments before today simply because I rarely venture beyond the news item to read comments.
I have had many arguments on a few other forums with the brothers of the imaginary state of eelam, and I most positively do not want to engage myself here. My sole intention here is to be a mere spectator while dropping a comment here and there. I have had my fair share of arguments in other forums, been there, done that, Enough for me! It is funny reading other people's arguments but getting into one yourself just wastes time, boils blood, and eventually nothing gets changed. (If anything it's your ability to write that gets improved). IMO.
p.s.> Sure you are a Tintin fan!
Rebel,
Yes, I live abroad.
As far as I am aware the foreign media is up in arms about the attack on Sirasa (it was headline news in BBC and Yahoo) and the pro LTTE dieasspora are gaining maximum propoganda mileage by claiming that Tamil owned businesses and "independent" media are being attacked in Sri Lanka. BBC Sinhala is giving this story the most coverage above all other stories.
I am pretty sure that Sirasa did it themselves, but with the track record of idiots like Mervyn attacking SLBC and other media personnel, the foreign media and the general public are convinced that this is the work of the government / army. It is upto our government to prove otherwise.
Me and a few other patriots based here were tuned into listen to the Presidential address on the day Kili was captured on Sirasa FM online as all other Sri Lankan online radio channels were crashing due to bandwidth problems. Sirasa was working fine and at 4pm we expected them to broadcast the President's message, they didn't do it and were broadcasting jolly tunes and songs. Sirasa got what they deserve.
PS, the only Sirasa programme I enjoy is Api Nodanna Live, that too has become lame of late as those two chuti nangi baduwas (not!) have ruined it.
Can someone tell me that why that F*ing MBC/MTV doesn't even have a CCTV system?
They'll cover the all island when a bomb does off or any murder,disappearence had taken place. Why couldn't they cover the incident even with a camera phone?
No answers to these.. 'cos it is well planned to not to leak the incident.
If the police can uncover the story, it is the end of that F*ing media and I wish so.
Ananda,
Me too!
Great work, keep it up!
Nacholibre @ LNP
Oh yeah..LTTE is winning..
Balraj said when they overran EP that this was the opening of the golden gate to their Elam kingdom.
Balraj is dead now and EP is lost to LTTE in all but name.
---------------------
Tamilselvan said that the departure of Karuna was nobig deal and noone should worry about it as he was just a shadow and that LTTE will take care of him.
TS is dead now, Karuna flying high having given everything in his strength to see that prabakaran loses everything he has.
----------------------------------------
Taraki said that the ability of LTTE to create elam is in their ability to perform as a conventional army that can take on SLA at any given time and condition.
Taraki is dead now and LTTE has been reduced to a mere guerilla unit with less than 2000 cardres fighting for mere survival
----------------------------------------------------
Anton Bala said that the LTTE agreed to a ceasefire with the GOSL out of sympathy cos SLA and GOSL cannot fight with the mighty LTTE
Anton Bala is dead now and LTTE has lost almost every major base sans Mulaitivu and massive nubers of their experience cardre is dead or maimed.
------------
and these LNP LPTE guys say Karuna is factually wrong...
:)))
LMSAO..
Enjoy the party..enjoy while you can..we will keep joking like we have since Mavil aru..
Here is what Karuna said..
Prabakaran`s war machine destroyed-Karuna in Parliament
Wednesday, 7 January 2009 - 5:14 AM SL Time
Vinayagamoorti Muralitharan, MP, told in parliament yesterday that due to the methodical and effective military strategy of the Army Commander and the battle planners of the SLDF, Prabakaran`s war capability is finally over. Mr. Muralitharan further said that Prabakaran who started running with the start of Mavil Aru operations is now holed up in the Mulaitivu jungles with some 1500 cardres who are left over. He added that even though the LTTE tried recruiting another 5000 anew, they only succeeded in recruiting only some 150 cardre.
Those two Api Nodanne live chaps should cross over to Derana or Swarnavahini, they are Anandians and most likely patriots.
And leave the "baduwas" behind in Sirasa!
ananda, i guess so. the mind boggles at how times have changed.
Guys,
I know we are all riding a wave of patriotism and euphoria right now. But I think the SLDF and the analysts are underestimating the strength (what remains of it) of the LTTE, I very much doubt that the cadre strength is only 1000 - 1500, I think its more like 5,000. Any ideas? We might be risking our boys on the frontline by underestimating the pigs' remaining strike capability?
DoDo:
"Kakka barak obama!"
Woo hoo!!
Ela kiri!
Haven't laughed out for a long bloody while as I did for your comment! Keep them coming.
mz,
fyi - quite a few other anandians at sirasa as well.
Guys,
Troops have advanced 2km's from Muhamalai FDL and they are now 1.5km from Palai.
This is official.
JNW News Alert.
58 Div enters Murasumoddai, 5km's east of Paranthan (Along the A35).
hey guys..
any news about EPS and the 58th operations along the A35?
MZ,
yep. i put the figure at 20k. they lost thousands but replenished.
the hardcore ones were put out very rarely.
but SLDF top brass, whatever they say to media, knows the real numbers and plans are made accordingly.
wow thanks Puran dude!!
"Troops have advanced 2km's from Muhamalai FDL and they are now 1.5km from Palai. and 5 kn east of paranthan"
so tigers are still resisting heavily. there is a big sentimental value for them being close to jaffna.
what might be the outcome of indian IL-38s (a guess; only a few indian planes can gather intel from above 13,000 metres) scanning the north-eastern coastline and the mulaitivu area????
"58 Div troops enter Murasumoddai Township"
Situaton now.
VP 149 KG's (as at 07-01-09)
VP's Pressure level 145 102
Mulla 1 Kissing KM
EPS 0.00 KM
MKN 1 KM
Puthu 1 KM
Thank you for every one who has given ago with the translation.
Interesting that some info is getting mentioned about "middle tier leadership issues"
when mervyn attacked rupavahini all the sirasa newsman including kingsley ratnayake crammed inside rupavahini control rooms (illegally} within minutes & filmed everything that happened.
when their assholes catch fire not a single dog is around to even make a call. so it's definitely an inside job.
Velu,
Yes, Sirasa are oppurtunists. But what Mervyn did set a dangerous precedent, now anyone can attack a media instituition (print, tv and radio)and easily blame it on the authorities. After the Mervyn - SLBC episode, it has become routine for the public and the IC to blame the government for attacks on the media.
PS, I saw a recent video of you that you made especially for the dieasspora on youtube. You look very portly don't you? Are you trying to set the Guinness World Record for the fattest guerilla (gorilla?) leader ever? I think you haven't got far to go (or are you already there?).
hey mz... :D
still wondering abt the "vambatu" on u r avater!!
care to enlighten us? :P
Duzz,
Gladly, I will explain the Vambutu story. Once there was an Eelamist here called Puli monkeying around. He was trying to write something about the aborigines in Australia. He made a spelling mistake and called them "aboriginals", then I made fun of him. He corrected himself and made an even worse spelling mistake by calling them "aubergines". Aubergines means vambutu. So I made fun of him even more, everyone started calling him "Vambutu Puli" and I changed my profile pic in his honour. Vambutu Puli has been his monicker or "card" ever since.
Vambutu Puli hardly comes here now, mainly for fear of being attacked by me.
Puran,
58 Div enters Murasumoddai, 5km's east of Paranthan (Along the A35).
Appatasiri! Thanks for bringing in the Fantastic news, machan! :)
When Brig. Shavendra Silva was interviewed after the capture of Kili/Paranthan, he said the 58th Div's next two objectives were heading to EPS and Murusamoddai. I didn't think Murusamoddai would be THAT quick; after all its 5 km away from Paranthan. This is surely evidence that LTTE's defences are now wafer thin!
I honestly thought the 58th Div would wait for 53rd + Mechanized Div to start a combine ops towards A35, but it looks like 58th is heading on its own!!!
---------
Dr.Jones : You welcome buddy. I'm not its "original creator" though..LOL!
LOLZ MZ!!
improvising on the Opportunity presented ! its best!
excellent
correction:
at its best!
@ DODO
beefing up the ranks and upgrading Tf1 to a fully fledged Division must reason for the amazing improvements in attacking strength
(experienced battle hardened leadership of TF1+ well trained troops)
i almost feel sympathetic towards the LTTers who are standing on 58th way)
kill more archive more.. works like a charm
Duzz
beefing up the ranks and upgrading Tf1 to a fully fledged Division must reason for the amazing improvements in attacking strength
Yes machan and also the fact that 58th is a Commando Division and arguably the most mobile division we have. Mobility is their trade mark and best asset
When they start to move, they really get a move on....:)
Why does not SLA across the EPS bridge... Hahahaha... Some predicted they would have easy access back to EPS.... So why not start to walk.
Do they smell some fish if not dry fish .... hahahaha
Long live our heroes with long distance power.
It looks like whatever remaining cadres are protecting Velu rather than fighting...End of the day Velu wants to escape or hide before caught him alive...most of leaders in the past did the same Velu also the same ...Velu doesn't care whatever happen to innocent Tamils...he is thinking about him now....As per report LTTP now in 1600 Sq Miles ..means if they have 5000 cadres for for 1 Sq mile they have only 2 cadres ….is it going to be hard job for LTTP…camparing 50,000 SLA….correct me if I m wrong guys…
Cable,
Pallai not yet captured, have patience bro.
Rajan, you are funnier than Mahen.
Mohammed Zubair,
Oh! you probably know better than Army.lk which quotes as
" DETERMINED troops of the 53 and 55 Divisions, a few hours after their Tuesday (6) gains, broke off from the already captured MUHAMALE LTTE Forward Defence Line (FDL), and enthusiastically moved about 2 km further southward closer to the strategic PALLAI town center, about 5.5 km to the south of MUHAMALE when the clock struck 3.30 p.m. (local time) on Wednesday (7)."
Hi Guys!
First of all thanks to DW for bringing up-to-date information on the happenings over the battlefront.
(A little background about me so you guys can see where I come from..
I am from Tamilnadu (but not tamil))
I remember days of my childhood when people used to get killed by terrorist activities of LTTE including the death of Rajiv (in Tamilnadu) and I firmly believe that they are an organization that threaten a peaceful existence of any community.
My biggest concern right now is I hope LTTE doesn't get successful in killing any major army or political personnel right now which may lead to mass killing of more innocent people which in turn would help them gather more followers!
Cable,
I am not going to teach you English grammar, please read the army.lk report carefully before jumping to conclusions.
@ Rajan
"Why does not SLA across the EPS bridge... Hahahaha... Some predicted they would have easy access back to EPS.... So why not start to walk.
Do they smell some fish if not dry fish .... hahahaha
Long live our heroes with long distance power."
i am astounded @ your low level of intelligence
58th is not crossing the bridge because the 55th the 53rd+mech units are more than capable of advancing through the Jaffna peninsula.
and 58th as u know have moved eastwords 5kms and have even captured murusamoddai junction (dont u know?)
@ swami..
The LTTE tried that to provoke(bus bombings etc) the population on the south for another mass conflict like in 1980's (black july)
but the pop of the south now know that the tamils are not the problem but only a small group of terrorists with tamil superiority metntal disorders are the problem.
we have learned from our previous mistakes.
Breaking News....
Government to Ban the LTTE.
A more detailed map of Murasumoddai boundaries :)
Link
Note Puliyampokkanai, a bit east from Murasumoddai....that's the place Tamilmutt.com was crying yesterday about SLA shelling. Its a good indication of how the effect of the penetration is towards A35. Truly amazing!
:)
Thanks Duzz, I am glad to hear that. All these conflicts like the one in Gaza now .. where I see innocent children torn apart in bombings ..no food, water, electricity.. really testing days for many people. I can only pray for all the innocent lives (and the army personnel)that were lost in these ongoing battles against terrorism and hope this all ends soon.
I hope SL media understands the importance of their role in times like this and acts appropriately.
P.S: I <3 Jayasuriya :)
Government to Ban the LTTE.
Elakiri!!!!
Mohammed Zubair,
Sorry my mistake.
Probably because of no knowledge about english grammer
Why does this blog only has Singala intelligence units who does not have a proper job.
Look at the below as some examples,
Mohammed Zubair - Clown of the all. Has a explanation for anything and everything.
Duzz - the man with low IQ level who keep measuring the intelligence of others.
Puran Appu - Who keep typing breaking News from media.
Then comes the joker DefenceBull, who keep Bull S*** about losses of SLA. How comes she never mentioned about the rescue operations of Sea Tigers did in Naga kovil few days ago?
LTTE has been banned by the government !!
Guys it is to be banned or already banned.. thats the impression i got from Ada Derana sms alert
@duzz
"but the pop of the south now know that the tamils are not the problem but only a small group of terrorists with tamil superiority metntal disorders are the problem."
It is always easy to see the problem with others and not problem with ourselves.
I have been labeled as unpatriotic to showing our weaknesses. I do so, so that people can fix our own issues and become even stronger.
If you have experienced SL university culture, it is always a very small number of students calling shots for violence and strikes. It is the same with Tamils as well as Sinhalese as a nation.
I have seen writings on other forums where people discuss irrational behavior towards some people here.
We have our own with the superiority complex and the troubling part is that they are always the people with the least education, poor upbringing, and credentials.
Cable,
No worries bro. I don't blame you for your error, I blame Sakvithi Ranasinghe!
Look what we have here, another dipolar mania sufferer, Rajan!
# A Humble Appeal to Prime Minister, Dr Manmohan Singh
I don't see this reported on any Indian websites, who is this guy that makes the appeal? I can't even find FAT's website to see who their President is? cooked up?
Observer and others,
I'm not Mahen and do not intend to represent him /her.
I've been following this blog for last 18 months, unfortunately only few talk the truth and accept.
Soon as some one have a different opinion becomes target of the day.
Grow up and stick to the subjects.
How comes all go successfully towards SLA while all becomes downfall for LTTE.
Grow up people. Do n't you see who's doing the brain wash now?
There are people who really uses the clone accounts and then admit those as mistakes. Saman character is an widely known example.
Then comes characters like Rana who came recently, pretend he has more power than Sri Lankan president.
Swami,
You seem like reasonable gentlemen to discuss matters with. Can you please kindly ask your Tamil Nadu compatriots to request the GOSL to stop bombing innocent civilians in Tamil Eelam. Daily, Eelam citizens are dying and suffering. The situation in the Wanni is similar to the one in Gaza, in fact it is worse as there are no INGOs and independent media in the Wanni. Therefore, the GOSL is killing Eelam civilians with impunity and immunity as the Eelam struggle is being ignored by the international community. We appeal to you to get our brothers in Tamil Nadu to pressure the centre to intervene in Ceylon and push for a ceasefire that will lead to peace talks, and eventual separation of Ceylon into Tamil Eelam and Sri Lanka. This is humble request from me on behalf of my Eelam brothers and sisters.
I also appeal to Eelam patriots to contribute generously to our cause and remember the fallen heroes in your daily prayers.
Cabinet has decided to ban the LTTE – Government Minister

3rd Line of the LTTE in National Front taken by 53 and 55.
Swarnawahini reports.
" Several key LTTE Area Command centers, including the KILALY’s ECHO-9 Base, GOLF-7 MUHAMALE Area Command Base, ECHO-3 Base and DELTA-2 Base were entirely smashed and brought under the troops as Wednesday (7) evening fell. Artillery fire, directed by advancing valiant troops set ablaze a huge LTTE ammunition dump, ahead of the troops, emitting huge bellows of smoke into the skies. A large cache of weapons and LTTE armaments, kept hidden and sealed inside concrete-made underground hideouts were also found by the troops as they moved forward. All evidence so far collected by dominating troops confirmed that PALLAI area had served as a major terrorist hub, just before the troops broke in on the area, a few hours ago."

@Malin:
"either be part of it or leave it and live in exile as you are doing now"
It is exactly your type of exclusionary politics and discrimination that has led us to take up arms and support our supreme commander in the liberation struggle. How dare you insinuate that I abandon my Eelam homeland? Who are you to say who should be and should not be citizens of Eelam?
ltte is banned in sri lanka.
government will issue the gasette tonight.
Selva,
LTTE guns down and hangs fleeing civilians
http://www.defence.lk/new.asp?fname=20090107_04
observer,
ltte is now been banned. effects from tomorrow onwards i guess as gasette will be published tomorrow. cabinet has decided the ban.
Infinity,
If we were to believe GOSL propoganda, then the strength of the LTTE is -25,000. Please don't embarass yourself by quoting defence.lk, just friendly advice.
Selva, 25,000? Source please Fonseka said 13,000 LTTE killed and 7000-8000 wounded in November 2008.
SL government sources, while not perfect, are certainly better than than those from a hereditary dictatorship excluding democracy on principle by claiming to be a "sole representative". As well as having denied the tamils in the territory they control all forms of human rights like freedom of expression, movement, and association. Can you say anything good the LTTE has done to the tamils to compensate for this oppression and the suicide bombers, the chlld soldiers, and the lack of economic development?
Selva Did I asked you not to be a Tamil? Or not to worship you’re GOD? What I ask you was not to claim something what was never yours..
There might have been Tamil kingdoms in the past but there was Sinhala kingdoms too which ruled the whole island. So I maybe right to say that this land doesn’t belong to Tamils nor does Sinhalese. We all live in this land so this belongs to every one of us.
That’s why I asked you to be a Sri Lankan. If you want to hang on to your Elam that’s your wish but don’t expect any support from us.
Anyone who works against the unity of this nation is a regarded as a traitor... may it come Sinhala, Tamil or Muslim.. And there is no place for people like that in this land..
So be part of United Sri Lanka and work for prosperous future for everyone.. Or one day die knowing you’re a exile without a homeland..
@ Selva
" It is exactly your type of exclusionary politics and discrimination that has led us to take up arms and support our supreme commander in the liberation struggle. How dare you insinuate that I abandon my Eelam homeland? Who are you to say who should be and should not be citizens of Eelam?"
Selva
Here are your choices:
1) Kneel down and renounce violence and Elelam.
2) Prepared to form Eelam 3 feet under.
There is NO room for Eelam in Sri Lanka. You have been surrounded, out numbered greatly, and you have no where to go. This is no time for Eelam talk.
If you insist on an Eelam, we will invade you, take your land and rights away, and push you into the sea.
I hope I made myself clear.
Selva,
"Who are you to say who should be and should not be citizens of Eelam?"
I am a citizen of Sri Lanka and you are asking for part of my country for the exclusive ownership of one ethnic minority. You aks for 50% of power and we are not going to give it away. You ask for 1/3rd of the land and 2/3rd of the coastline and we are not going to give it away. You take weapons and wage a terrorist war, and we are not going to give it away. However, as a Tamil Sri Lankan, you are most welcome to live equally and peacefully among the rest of Sri Lankans. Should you choose not to do so, we are ready to fight for decades to come until we eliminate all the terrorists from our homeland.

An article entitled "Tigers in Dunkirk-type evacuation from Jaffna Peninsula" dated
January 6th, 2009
at dbsjeyaraj.com
says the following about the abandonment of the previous plan of the LTTE to remain and fight at the N-M-K Jaffna front:
[Suddenly, a change of plan seems to have occurred. “Why” ? is yet an unknown.
A plausible reason may be the belated realisation that the army could move further east of the A-9 in a push parallel to the A-35 or Paranthan-Mullaitheevu road and seal off the coastal areas adjacent to the Chundikulam lagoon.
If and when that happened the existing supply route to the peninsula would be knocked out, rendering entrapped cadres in the peninsula vulnerable.]
This is the strategy I had recommended to expel and/or cutoff the LTTE from the Jaffna peninsula in several previous posts at this blog.
Hooray! LTTE Banned!
At Last, At Last, God Almighty At Last!

Swami brother,
Welcome to the blog.
South Asians should be united in fighting terror, preventing Balkanisation and bringing prosperity and equal opportunity and a level playing field to all.
Now the offer should be given to the second tier lTTe leadrship; give us Velu and pottu and the war will stop. We will accomodate you in a political deal.
It should be broadcast repeatedly, so that Velu and Pottu also get to know of the offer.
Psy ops; 'Paranoia' should be the name of the game..
