Ireland and Tamil Eelam The nation of Eelam Tamils are conjoined with the Irish due to similar British supervised counter-insurgency and geo-politics of imperialism. By Athithan Jayapalan In a historic battle against the might of the British Empire during Easter week in 1916, hundreds of Irish nationalist revolutionaries who made up the vanguard of the Republican movements’ struggle for Irish sovereignty, took positions in and around Dublin, attacking and occupying government buildings and strategic locations. Although the rebellion in itself was quelled with the execution of 15 of its leaders and imprisonment of the rest, the determination, heroism and …

The Global Tamil Forum (GTF) pushing for an international war crimes inquiry targeting Sri Lanka over accountability issues during the conflict here yesterday said that the Palestinian authority could use the newly gained UN recognition to take up Israeli atrocities at the International Criminal Court (ICC).

ஒரு 6 வயது சிறுவனிடமும் ஒரு 16 வயது சிறுவனிடமும் இறப்பைப்பற்றி கேட்டால், எப்படி பதிலளிப்பார்கள்? How to talk to kids about death ABC Everyday By Shona Hendley Posted 11 hours ago Last year was a difficult one in terms of death and grief for my family. We had three people close to us pass away against the backdrop of ever-rising COVID numbers and deaths broadcast by the media. While my husband and I were equipped to manage it, my children, who were only six and seven at the time, were not. Death was a relatively new concept to them and something they hadn't had to deal with firsthand. At the time I th…

France honours Lankan journalist PK Balachandran Colombo, February 13, 2006|19:51 IST The French government has conferred the Chevalier Order of Merit on the well-known Sri Lankan journalist Amal Jayasinghe for his outstanding contribution to journalism in the island. He has been with Agence France Presse (AFP) for the past two decades, and had earlier served Daily News, the most widely read English language newspaper in Sri Lanka.

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 …

Why not call terrorists in Sri Lanka Hindu terrorists? : Musharraf By IANS Tuesday September 26, 01:19 PM Washington, Sep 26 (IANS) Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf says he is against use of the term Islamist terrorists or 'Islamo-fascists' as such labelling can then be used for other terrorist outfits as well, like the Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka who are Hindus. 'Does one call terrorists in Sri Lanka Hindu terrorists? Why is Pakistan's bomb called an Islamist bomb? Why is India's bomb not called a Hindu bomb and that of Israel as a Jewish bomb?' Musharraf asked. 'Pakistani people are certainly for fighting terrorism, but they somehow are not h…

Tamil Terrorist Leader Arrested 25 May 2007 U.S. authorities in New York arrested an alleged senior representative of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, or Tamil Tigers, a Sri Lankan terrorist group. Karunakaran Kandasamy is charged with providing financial assistance and other support for the Tamil Tigers. “Kandasamy hasn’t merely supported the Tamil Tigers’ cause, he orchestrated U.S. support,” said Mark Mershon, an official of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. “We can no sooner allow terrorists to raise funds here than we would allow them to carry out acts of terrorism over here,” he said. Kandasamy is accused of leading the American bra…

Debacle in Afghanistan - TARIQ ALI The fall of Kabul to the Taliban on 15 August 2021 is a major political and ideological defeat for the American Empire. The crowded helicopters carrying US Embassy staff to Kabul airport were startlingly reminiscent of the scenes in Saigon – now Ho Chi Minh City – in April 1975. The speed with which Taliban forces stormed the country was astonishing; their strategic acumen remarkable. A week-long offensive ended triumphantly in Kabul. The 300,000-strong Afghan army crumbled. Many refused to fight. In fact, thousands of them went over to the Taliban, who immediately demanded the unconditional surrender of the puppet government. Presid…

Ex-minister accuses Sri Lanka of 'terrorism' 3 hours ago COLOMBO (AFP) — A former Sri Lankan foreign minister accused the government of failing to investigate extra-judicial killings and using "terrorism" to fight Tamil Tigers rebels. Government lawmaker Mangala Samaraweera said an ongoing visit to the island by the UN's High Commissioner for Human Rights, Louise Arbour, underlined the international focus on the island's worsening rights record. "Sri Lanka is also being branded a terrorist state because of our policy of fighting terrorism with terrorism," Samaraweera said. "The Arbour visit shows the international concern about what is happening here." …

Rex Murphy, the conservative commentator, former CBC radio host and a 73-year-old white man, is convinced that racism does not exist in this country and that the “vast majority” of Canadians would “never participate in it.” Earlier this week, in a column published in the newspaper I work for, Murphy explicitly wrote that Canada is not a racist country, acknowledging that the statement might “shock some.” His arguments to support this sweeping declaration, one that effectively erases centuries of history that pertain to the founding of this nation, were made in 250-odd words. They ranged from that fact that Canada had “welcoming” immigration policies, that our sc…
