Financing fiscal deficit The government will finance its fiscal deficit estimated at Rp 75 trillion (US$8 billion) in fiscal 2008 mostly with rupiah bonds because its official capital accounts will end up with a net resource outflow of the equivalent of Rp 16.67 trillion. The government plans to issue Rp 91.6 trillion worth of new bonds next year, up markedly from Rp 62.28 trillion, budgeted for this year. This is a consequence of the government's decision to accelerate the amortization of its foreign debts, notably those with high interest rates, and to disband its foreign creditor consortium, the consultative group on Indonesia (CGI), starting this year…

IMF or not: What other options are available for Sri Lanka?

ஐரோப்பிய ஒன்றியத்தில் புலிகள் மீது தடை விதிப்பது தொடர்பில் அதன் அங்கத்துவ நாடுகளையிடையே கருத்து வேறுபாடு ஏற்பட்டுள்ளது. இந்த தடை நடவடிக்கைக்கு நார்டிக் நாடுகள் எதிர்ப்பு தெரிவித்து வருகின்றது. இதனால் ஐரோப்பாவில் புலிகள் அமைப்புக்கு தடை ஏதும் ஏற்பட வாய்ப்பு குறைவு என்று தெரிகின்றது. EU divided, may not ban LTTE By M.R. Narayan Swamy, New Delhi: The European Union is sharply divided over outlawing Sri Lanka's Tamil Tiger guerrillas, and indications are a ban is not immediately in the offing despite this week's suicide bomb attack blamed on the insurgents.

Last month the United Nations published a highly critical internal report in which it admitted it didn’t do enough to protect Tamil civilians in the final months of the Sri Lanka civil war. In late 2008, the UN had withdrawn staff from the northern part of the country in anticipation of the Sri Lanka government’s bloody military offensive against the LTTE (Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, more commonly known as Tamil Tigers). Tamil civilians had pleaded with the UN to stay at the time, but the international organization said it was unable to ensure the safety of its staff members. Still, the new report raises real questions about the international community’s response du…

The Mullivaikkal Massacre was a genocide. This period saw the deaths of 70,000-140,000 Tamil civilians, primarily due to the Sri Lankan military’s intentional shelling of safe zones and extrajudicial executions, the maiming of thousands from that shelling, and at least hundreds of incidents of sexual violence. . In the week ahead of May 18th, PEARL is deconstructing the term genocide. Our series of posts will build on arguments presented in last year’s photo exhibit “Tamil Resistance & Resilience In the Face of Genocide” to demonstrate the final phase of the armed conflict was a genocide committed by the Sri Lankan government against the Tamil people. . It is …

[size="7"]SAIVA THIRUMURAIS[/size] The Pallava period in the history of Tamil land is a period of religious revival of Hinduism by the Saiva Nayanmars who by their bhakti-cult captured the minds of people. They made a tremendous impression on the people by singing the praise of Lord Siva in soul-stirring devotional hymns. The Saiva Tirumurais are twelve in number and the word Tirumurai means 'sacred book'. The first seven Tirumurais are the hymns of the three great Saivite saints. These hymns were the best musical composition of their age. The first three Tirumurais are the extempore compositions ofSt. Thirugnana Sambanthar. The fourth, the fifth and the sixth Tirumu…

Warning: The information here is not written to offend anyone. I humbly state that these are written only to document the history of the Tamil Eelam Tamil's past. This is a translation of a document I created on my own from Tamil to English. The LTTE (Military of de-facto Tamil Eelam) had three military branches, like the conventional military of any UN-recognized country in the world. Along with these three main military branches, they also had an entirely new military branch in this modern world. That is the 'Self-Benefaction Force', the "Black Tigers" (Tamil: Karumpulikal) in their language (Credits to Sachi Sri Kantha). These are the modern-day forces that the…

They have done great service to their people and you can't brand them as pure terrorists as they are genuine freedom fighters. That is the structure that needs to be discussed.The current policy of the government is a hit-back policy and that is an Israeli policy. I don't think it's right. Mahatma Gandhi said that the eye-for-an-eye, a-tooth-for-a-tooth policy makes the world blind and toothless. And it will only keep escalating.We can't ask them to disarm in order to sit down and talk while we hold onto our arms. Things must be left as they are and we must talk about devolution, federal state or autonomy. (மேலும்...) இணைத் தலைமைகளைச் சமாளிக்க:
