Sri Lanka, the “pearl” of the Indian Ocean, is strategically located within the east-west international shipping passageway. Like the old Silk Road that stretched from the ancient Chinese capital of Xian all the way to ancient Rome, modern China’s strategic and commercial supply line extends over the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea to include the focal transit port of Sri Lanka at the southern tip of India. Today, over 85 percent of China’s energy imports from the Middle East and mineral resources from Africa transit through Sri Lanka and other so-called “string of pearls” ports. Beijing seeks to protect these “pearls” as strategic economic arteries anchored all…

"The Eye of the Tiger" For the past 14 years Velupillai Pirabakaran has led an armed struggle to create a separate Tamil state in Sri Lanka's volatile north-eastern region. Pirabakaran, 32, commands the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), the strongest of Sri Lanka's numerous Tamil separatist groups. It is generally acknowledged that peace negotiations with Colombo are unlikely to prove effective without the LTTE's involvement. Last week, shortly before his group rejected Colombo's latest proposal for peace talks, Pirabakaran spoke with NEWSWEEK'S Sudip Mazumdar in Madras. Excerpts: …

By Sonali Samarasinghe The telephone threat made by President Mahinda Rajapakse to the Editor, The Sunday Leader, Lasantha Wickrematunge and the ensuing furore last week stunned diplomats and shocked civil society. The threat issued personally to the Editor by the President of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka in gutter language was based on some gossip that had reached the ear of Rajapakse that an article had been published regarding a disastrous visit made by the President and First Lady Shiranthi to the famous Guruvayur temple in Kerala. It was a visit he feared would tarnish his image as a Sinhala leader and devout…

'RAW: A History of India’s Covert Operations' showcases India’s shadow warriors A new book by Yatish Yadav brings to light some of the daring exploits of India’s spies and spymasters. Yatish Yadav The intelligence included the Tigers’ military formations as well as civilian populations so as to avoid casualties. Peace is an illusion because India is constantly at war in the shadows. Just as soldiers in uniform guard our borders, a different kind of highly trained and motivated soldiers crisscross the world in various guises with deceptively innocuous code names; meeting sources, activating sleeper spies and double agents, deploying honey traps, conferrin…

Published Wednesday 11th July 2007 11:41 GMT China today confirmed it has developed a "Wing In Ground" (WIG) sea-skimming aircraft, state media reports. According to Reuters, the Chinese version of the Caspian Sea Monster is capable of flying at 300km/h (180mph) at a mere half metre above the surface while carrying four tonnes of cargo. It relys on the WIG effect effect whereby, put simply, a wing travelling close to the ground is provided with extra lift by the "cushion" of air compressed under it - thus enabling a combination of greater aircraft weight for less power and/or enhanced fuel economy. Professor Xu Zhengyu, vice-president of the research team a…

US 'losing media war to al-Qaeda' The US is losing the propaganda war against al-Qaeda and other enemies, defence chief Donald Rumsfeld has said. It must modernise its methods to win the minds of Muslims in the "war on terror", as "enemies had skilfully adapted" to the media age, he said. Washington and the army must respond faster to events and learn to exploit the internet Separately, President Bush said the US should not be discouraged by setbacks in Iraq and must realise it is at war. "We shouldn't be discouraged... because we've seen democracy change the world in the past," George W Bush said. However, he also used his speech in …

European Union under Germany may lift Tamil Tiger ban: Sri Lanka. A lifting of the ban on the LTTE by the European Union (EU) is now a possibility because Germany is going to be EU President (for six months) from January 1, says the Colombo-based The Sunday Times. In a Frankfurt-datelined story, the paper said that at the very least, an EU under Germany would put economic pressure on the Sri Lankan government to abandon its military campaigns and return to the negotiating table for meaningful talks with the LTTE. Germany has already stopped its aid for tsunami reconstruction in Sri Lanka. Economic Cooperation Minister Heidmarie Wieczorek-Zeul had to…

LTTE could gain from Tamil Nadu realignments MR Narayan Swamy (IANS) New Delhi, March 11, 2006|13:29 IST Tamil Nadu's close race for power might prove a mixed bag for Sri Lanka's Tamil Tiger guerrillas, rather than the windfall it could have been for the insurgent group outlawed in India. The moves by Vaiko's MDMK and T Tirumavalavan's Dalit Panthers of India (DPI) to contest the May assembly elections with Tamil Nadu's ruling AIADMK may provide the Tigers political access to Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa they lacked - if she retains power. But if India's ruling United Progressive Alliance (UPA) ousts the MDMK for aligning with its foe in …

Negative wealth effect By TN Ninan, editor and publisher of Business Standard Published: June 20 2006 06:20 | Last updated: June 20 2006 06:20 The key question to be asked is what effect the gyrations on the stock market will have on the real economy. Will the sharp drop in share prices mean that the real economy too will slow down? That is easy, and the answer is “Yes”. The tricky part is figuring out by how much. To take the macro picture first, a net outflow of portfolio investment means that the dollar inflow, which helped pay for the large deficit on trade in goods and services (more than $20bn a year), is no longer there. This puts pressure on the …

Fordømmer norsk dokumentar Oslo (ANB-NTB): Sri Lankas regjering vil forby den norske dokumentarfilmen «Min datter terroristen», som handler om to kvinners liv blant Tamiltigrene (LTTE). Det srilankiske forsvarsdepartementet har gått ut med en pressemelding der de skriver at de har lagt press på det amerikanske utenriksdepartementet og FBI for å stoppe visninger av den norske dokumentarfilmen, skriver Oslo Dokumentarkino. Myndighetene på Sri Lanka mener filmen, hvor vi møter to kvinnelige selvmordssoldater, er med på å promotere terrorisme og frykter at den vil gjøre stor skade. Filmen har blitt forsøkt stoppet i USA i forbindelse med dokumentarfilmfestival…

The government scents victory; to others, it smells like prolonged war THE Sri Lankan government, and the majority ethnic-Sinhalese population that backs it, are gloating over the death of S.P. Tamilselvan, political commissar of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, in an air raid on November 2nd. To them it is proof that the Sri Lankan army has gained the upper hand under the leadership of Mahinda Rajapaksa, the president, and his brother, Gotabhaya, the defence secretary. They believe the latter's boast that his forces know the whereabouts of the Tigers' leaders, and that they will be killed one by one. To government loyalists, Sri Lanka is well on the road to an …

Sri Lanka's separatist Tamil Tiger rebels are marking the 20th anniversary of their suicide bombing campaign. They are remembering the 322 Black Tigers - members of the suicide wing - who have killed themselves in attacks since 1987. The bombers have killed hundreds of people, mostly government troops, in their fight for a separate state in the north-east of Sri Lanka. More than 60,000 people have died since the conflict began in 1972. A ceasefire signed in 2002 between the government and the Tigers has been undermined by deadly violence that escalated last year. Garlands Rebels and residents of the town have been placing garlands on po…
