The Sunday Times Defense Correspondent Iqbal Athas has inadvertently exposed the thinking behind the Kebitigollaw massacre conspiracy of the Sri Lankan state. His situation reported dated 18 June 2006 was dotted with details and the case for such a mindless and bloody campaign by the Sri Lankan state. Athas is well known for his limitless sources inside the Ministry of Defense, particularly in the intelligent services of Sri Lankan military who often talk exclusively to him on the condition of anonymity. He got carried with the excitement and the trust his anonymous sources had on him to perform the spindoctering on the state orchestrated Kebitigollaw massacre. …

A human race in the verge of extinction. Can we stop the devastation of our motherland and save our own species? Priya Raj, 25th January 2007. Death, mayhem, rape, molestation, psychological trauma, malnutrition, displacement and disappearances in the Tamil nation are slowly but steadily pushing the native Tamil race towards extinction. Every second that passes by in the north and east of Sri Lanka confirms this horrific fact and unfolding a story that is beyond the civilized world’s wildest imagination. Of all the species that have lived on the Earth since life first appeared here 3 billion years ago, only about one in a thousand is still livi…

The final days of our war: Zero or 40,000 casualties? It is Monday 25 February 2020 as I hunt-and-peck my computer keyboard at Colombo International Airport Terminal 12 awaiting my flight to New York with my wife to attend a family funeral. I had been catching up on yesterday’s ‘The Sunday Times’. It announced that the Government, with cabinet approval, will withdraw from Resolution 30/1 of the UNHRC, solemnly co-signed by our Government in 2015. The UNP’s Sajith Premadasa has also promised to back the Government, following Gotabaya Rajapaksa, who promised during the presidential elections to protect soldiers who might be charged. I cringe in fear because t…

Arguing with loved one at wheel 'can affect' driving, experts warn The driver is weaving in his lane, his speed erratic, and he is clearly distracted. An-other case of texting behind the wheel? No, he's just got his wife with him. Confirming what many Canadians have long suspected, a study finds that having a romantic partner in the car is linked to poorer performance on the road. The effects are so powerful, in fact, that people actually drive better while quarrelling with their sweetheart remotely using a hands-free device than when having a neutral in-person conversation with them in the vehicle. "Emotional distractions are real and can affect your…

President Must Disown Tamil Paramilitary Groups | by Rajasingham Jayadevan ( March 1, 2013, London, Sri Lanka Guardian) My recent visit to Jaffna stretched once again (like in January 2012) a trip to the north-west coastal islands due to my visiting relatives wanting to worship at the Shree Nagapooshani Amman temple in the Islet of Nainativu. A contingent of fifteen relatives went to the islet. Paramilitary Leader Minister Douglas Devananda It was a very bumpy drive on the pothole and patchwork road. The drive did not give any impression that there is any major roadwork plan for the narrow lagoon road. The intermittent pothole patchwork undertaken …

The Peace Secretariat of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), Saturday night, in an urgent communiqué to the Head of SLMM, informed Sri Lanka's military build-up and urged the monitors to take immediate steps to visit Muhamalai FDL and confirm Sri Lanka's preparations for the offensive. LTTE's Political Head told TamilNet that LTTE is concerned of SLMM's limited access to Muhamalai. An unhindered access is vital for a fair and neutral judgement on the SLA offensive that will likely lead to a full-scale war, Thamilchelv…

Earlier, the Island newspaper (on January 16th) and an editorial (on January 17th) carried out lead news articles claiming that LTTE, with the help of some underground gangs, used information from the United States Entrance Visa application to abduct Sri Lankan citizens for ransom money based on the financial statement given by the Visa application.

[size=3] [size=5]I wrote in the UK Guardian on 30 May 2009, eleven days after the tragic end of the war titled ‘The ÚN has failed theTamils’ where I referred to and identified many of the failings and weaknesses now being acknowledged after an internal inquiry within the UN, three and half years later. If I had known all of these then and during the war, it begs the question why an international body which was formed fundamentally to protect humanity didn’t know or did it know and failed to act?[/size][/size] [size=5][/size] [size=5] Beyond the UN, some of the other human rights and humanitarian institutions must also take responsibility as the…

Says it will be ‘equal rights to all communities’ The solution that Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa has in mind for the Tamil quest for a greater say in their own fate — which he said soon after the war in 2009 that he will reveal at an appropriate time — involves “equal rights to all communities”. Ruling out granting minority Tamils of the North any political autonomy as a solution to the three-decades-long ethnic conflict, he said when people lived together in unity there should be no racial or religious differentiation. “It is not practical for this country to have different administrations based on ethnicity. The solution is to live together in this cou…
