LTTE (Tamil Tigers) - Explained In 18 minutes by Indian Commando Military-themed episodes of The Ranveer Show are always well-received. In this episode, we present Major Abhay Sapru, one of the most eloquent military veterans I’ve had the pleasure of interacting with. Para-SF podcasts are something that always blows my mind. One thing that always outshines in such conversations is the killer special forces mindset. Commissioned in 1988, Abhay Sapru volunteered for the elite Special Forces. During his decade-long stint with the Indian Army, he served in areas like Sri Lanka, Kashmir, and the North-East of India. He currently works for a private bank and alongside,…

EELAM TAMILS: Highlighting crimes against peace [by Admin , Nov 23,2006] When the Co-chairs [u.S; E.U; Norway and Japan] met in Washington, D.C., there hardly was any policy change as far as the Tamils are concerned. With alarming unanimity the Quartet announced that “…the LTTE is a terrorist group responsible for massive bloodshed, we hold the Tamil Tigers responsible… we are not neutral in this respect.” One must be grateful for the crudeness of meting out such lop-sided spaghetti western justice — At least we must be thankful for the openness of attitude on part of the diplomats, in which admittance to non-neutrality is claimed. There was sadly, no con…

Tamils have already dug graves for thousands of Tiger `martyrs' as nation edges closer to the brink Fighting appears inevitable as even old women head to the jungle for training, Andrew Mills writes Jul. 3, 2006. 01:00 AM ANDREW MILLS SPECIAL TO THE STAR KILINOCHCHI, Sri Lanka—The sandy field on the outskirts of town sits empty, already prepared to receive thousands of bodies of dead Tamil Tiger cadres, casualties-to-come in the all-out civil war many believe will break out here at any time. "Things haven't worked for four years, so what's the point in keeping the fragile peace and the ceasefire agreement," says M. Thiyagarajah, 34, a caretaker…

The outgoing UN Secretary General Kofi Annan blamed both Colombo and the Tamil Tiger rebels for the violence that has slowed rebuilding after the December 26, 2004 tsunami that killed an estimated 31,000 people in the island.

Exactly seven years ago as of last Wednesday, five young boys had gathered for a chat in Trincomalee close to the beach. A grenade was lobbed towards the area where the students were seated and the ensuing explosion injured several people. The five young boys, who were among those injured, were later found dead with gunshot wounds. The incident sent shockwaves not only in Trincomalee, but around the country.

Subsequently amidst growing …

AFP Japan, a top aid giver to Sri Lanka, on Wednesday urged the island's government to probe war crimes allegedly committed while defeating Tamil rebels and pressed Colombo to improve human rights. Japan said it wanted "genuine reconciliation" in Sri Lanka after troops crushed Tamil Tiger rebels in May 2009 and declared an end to nearly four-decades of ethnic strife that claimed up to 100,000 lives. Tokyo's special envoy to Sri Lanka, Yasushi Akashi, said there was a "perception of insecurity" despite the end of conflict. "I emphasised the vital need to improve the human rights situation in this country," Akashi told reporters at the end of a four-day visit …

India's Peace and War [TamilNet, Wednesday, 20 February 2008, 01:24 GMT] The now defunct Ceasefire Agreement in Sri Lanka was mooted and shadow-managed by the BJP government, according to Indian journalist, M.R. Narayan Swamy. Wickramasinghe and Pirapaharan were aware of this top secret mission of India, supervised by Vajpayee's Advisor Brajesh Mishra, but not J.N. Dixit who succeeded him with the change of government in May 2004. Dixit had to learn it from Wickramasinghe. The CFA signed in February 2002 was unilaterally withdrawn by the Sri Lanka government in January 2008. Swamy's revealing and the chronology of events implicate the Congress establishment and the eg…

The Bernard Madoff Ponzi scheme is the greatest financial shock so far in a year full of them. We still have a couple of weeks to go, but barring Warren Buffett being caught in Vegas thrusting Berkshire Hathaway stock at strippers, it is hard to imagine anything worse. I don't say this lightly. How can Madoff be worse than Lehman Brothers or AIG or the travails of Detroit's Big Three? It's because what he did was so simple. And he duped so many smart, conservative people for so long. And he did it in plain sight. Look at the list of those who lost money. Swiss private banks. Jewish family foundations. Retirees in Palm Beach. Not exactly the Fast Eddies of fina…

Civil war haunts Sri Lanka again By Chris Morris BBC, Sri Lanka [nThe ceasefire declared in Sri Lanka between the government and the Tamil Tiger rebel movement has disappeared in all but name. Some 3,000 Tamil civilians fled from Batticaloa last month International mediation has floundered and fighting has flared up again in the north and east of the island, where the Tigers want to carve out a separate Tamil state. I have always liked Bullers Road. I used to live on a lane about halfway down. It is one of the few places in Colombo where you can still walk under a thick canopy of old mara and mayflower trees. Tall, dense and dark green, …

http://www.dawn.com/2007/04/26/int14.htm COLOMBO: As the world prepares for yet another ‘scary’ report by the United Nations panel on global warming and climate change, a Sri Lankan specialist in the group says Tamil rebels and government troops are actually fighting over land due to be submerged as sea-levels rise. “A major part of Jaffna and other northern areas (of Sri Lanka) will be submerged when the sea-level rises. So people are fighting and dying over areas that may soon not be there,” Prof. Mohan Munasinghe, vice-chairman of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), told in an interview. Jaffna, seat of a revolt for an independent hom…

தமிழர்களின் உரிமைகளை வலியுறுத்து - கனடாவின் மிகப்பெரிய பத்திரிக்கை ஆசிரியர் தலையங்கம் Sri Lanka must address war crimes charges and show respect for Tamil rights Three years after bringing Sri Lanka’s bitter 25-year civil war to an end, President Mahinda Rajapaksa and his triumphalist government risk becoming pariahs. At the United Nations they are under fire for not fully probing what the UN calls “credible allegations” of war crimes, and for not healing the broken nation. In Geneva this week Canada is co-sponsoring an American push at the UN Human Rights Council to demand that Rajapaksa’s Sinhala-dominated government set up a “credible and independent” p…
