Here’s your chance to pose questions to a president about global issues. The world’s eyes are focusing on Sudan, which on Sunday will hold a referendum on independence in the southern part of the country. The south, which holds more than 75 percent of the country’s oil, is expected to vote almost unanimously for secession, and that will start a process that could lead to the birth of Africa’s newest country. In the past, there had been a good deal of fear that the referendum might lead to renewed warfare, but so far the process has gone better than many had expected. One of the observers monitoring the referendum on the ground is former President Jimmy Carter, w…

(TOI photo by C Suresh Kumar) RELATED DMK seeks referendum in north, east Lanka NEW DELHI: The US circulated a draft resolution in Geneva against Sri Lanka on Thursday, which, if supported by India, could upend many of the fundamental "no-go" areas of Indian foreign policy and complicate New Delhi's efforts to honour the sentiments of Tamil MPs while maintaining it…

The Coming of the Micro-states By Fred Weir, correspondent of The Christian Science Monitor, June 5, 2006 (Also, see below articles related to emerging states and comments by the EU and US.) From "The Coming of the Micro-states": Experts fear that many "frozen conflicts" around the world - in which a territory has gained de facto independence through war but failed to win international recognition - could reignite as ethnic minorities demand the same right to self-determination that many former Yugoslav territories have been offered by the international community. The United Nations Charter mentions both the right of "self-determination" of peoples a…

Sri Lanka's overseas Tamils fill rebel Tiger coffers By Peter Apps Fri Jun 23, 8:39 AM ET LONDON (Reuters) - It's thanks to Sri Lanka's overseas Tamils -- people like engineer S. Vijayadeva or accountant Kana Naheerathan -- that the rebel Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) can afford to keep up its insurgency. ADVERTISEMENT For two decades, the Tamil Tigers have fought for an ethnic Tamil homeland in Sri Lanka's north and east. They say they are the only legitimate representatives of the Tamil people, but several countries, including Britain, see them as terrorists. "Tamils have no power in the political system," 69-year-old Vijayadeva…

Oscar Winner Lupita Nyong'o's Speech On Beauty That Left An Entire Audience Speechless

Anandasangaree's hour A New York Times journalist e-mailed me the other day with a question, "does the Sri Lankan government have a plan for devolution?" It was a question to which I must confess, I had no answer, and therefore had to direct to my old friend, former Georgetown alumni, and spokesperson for the joint Tamil delegation at the crucial closing session of the 1985 Thimpu talks, Kethesh Loganathan, who is currently the deputy head of the Peace Secretariat. Frankly, I don't know whether he had an answer, or whether anyone does for that matter. This is the Achilles heel of the democratic Sri Lankan state; the weakest link in the Sri Lankan case. It has …

Is this the beginning of Eelam war IV? Situation Report - by Iqbal Athas LTTE's new high tech claymore bomb There are some stark realities to the latest phase of the shadow war launched by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) against the armed forces and the Police.

[TamilNet, Monday, 23 September 2013, 08:23 GMT] The obsession of utmost priority for a section of TNA leadership is to satisfy the Sri Lanka saving agenda of New Delhi and Washington, by interpreting the TNA victory as supersession of the Vaddukkoaddai Resolution based mandate of 1977, political observers in Jaffna commented on a statement made by the TNA leader Mr. R. Sampanthan, aided by Mr M.A. Sumanthiran, at a press conference convened in Jaffna on Sunday. Sampanthan talking of united and undivided country described the TNA victory as a clear verdict of Tamils, unprecedented in the political history of the island. Answering a question raised by an Eezham Tamil jour…

THE pitiless success of Sri Lanka’s military offensive delivers one salutary lesson: If you have China as an ally, you can afford to ignore pressure from anywhere else. . President Mahinda Rajapaksa’s government has won China’s financial, military and diplomatic support — along with the confidence to brush off Western protests about its behaviour. . In the closing stages of the assault on the Tamil Tigers, the army surrounded about 50,000 civilians inside a tiny enclave. Other governments would have found it difficult to resist outside calls for a unilateral ceasefire, at least to allow the evacuation of wounded innocents. . If the Security Council had thrown …

Nov 19, Colombo: A diplomatic brawl has erupted between the Sri Lanka and Norwegian governments, Sri Lanka Foreign Ministry sources said.

In one of the incidents, an angry Tamil Norwegian of Sri Lankan origin seeking a visa to travel in Sri Lanka stormed the Sri Lanka Embassy in Oslo and smashed a photograph o…

“The Cardinal never even visited our church or spoke to our children. He came directly to the Navy Head Quarters for the meeting and left soon after. On my way to the meeting, it was pouring with rain. As I was exhausted when passing my old home, I asked a Navy officer there if I could take shelter from the rain there as it was where I used to live. He refused and told me that I’d better continue on my way,” said a village elder in desolation. “Whatever they (the Government) are offering you, please accept, as I will come forward as your guarantor,” said His Eminence Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith to the people of Mullikulam, at the outset of the meeting[1] held …

[size=3] The bright white 70 meters (230Ft) tall bridge pylon can be seen from far away. Attached to the top are 24 cables that suspend a large bicycle roundabout, 72 meters (236Ft) in diameter, that seems to float over a large new junction for motorized traffic.
