International Chakkadaththaar [TamilNet, Tuesday, 02 October 2007, 13:38 GMT] The main reason why Sri Lanka’s ethnic conflict couldn’t be resolved all these decades was that it was approached as a terrorist issue. The approach, which served the convenience and deceit of the Sinhala politicians, was endorsed by the world system, because everybody had skeletons in their cupboards. It was a general debility of international polity and political ideologies to resolve situations similar to that of Sri Lanka. As a result, the mainstream international system has led the world into an Age of Paranoia. The bigger the State, the bigger is the paranoia, writes Opinion Column…

தமிழீழத்தை நோக்கி - ரொன் ரிடோனர் Towards Tamil Eelam London Speech by Ron Ridenour / March 7th, 2012 This speech has been unusually difficult for me to prepare, because I am so angry with the whole world, and most of the people in it, including many of the victims of oppression. I will explain underway. I try to speak my talks and not read them, but this topic is too complex for me to rely on my spontaneity, so I have chosen to write it, and then rewrite it, and end up still angry. Why did I, a white westerner get involved in this crazy world of Sinhalese and Tamils? I knew nothing about Sri Lanka until the end of the internal war, May 2009. I was as…

Take Action Ask the Commonwealth Ministerial Action Group to Suspend Sri Lanka Photo: Reuters Sri Lanka's war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide against Tamils, which peaked in 2009 and continues today, requires that Sri Lanka be suspended from the Councils of the Commonwealth. The next key Commonwealth event, the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting 2013 (CHOGM), is due to be held in Sri Lanka this November. Holding CHOGM in Sri Lanka, amidst blanket impunity for Sri Lanka's mass atrocities against Tamils in 2009 and escalating human rights violations occurring today, would be an egregious embarrassment to the Commonwealth. The Commonwealth Law…

Sri Lanka government gains support of Buddhist monks By Somini Sengupta Published: February 23, 2007 E COLOMBO: With full-scale war blossoming once more in a country beset by a quarter century of ethnic conflict, an ever more assertive government has found a sturdy ally in what might seem an unexpected source: hard-line Buddhist monks. The monks have long been active in Sri Lanka's deeply polarized politics, but for the first time they have joined the governing coalition with their own political party. Called the Jathika Hela Urumaya, or National Heritage Party, they now hold 9 seats in Sri Lanka's 225-member Parliament. The party sits at the extreme …

Make money on Internet Dear Friends, I recently joined AGLOCO because of a friend recommended it to me. I am now promoting it to you because I like the idea and I want you to share in what I think will be an exciting new Internet concept. AGLOCO’s story is simple: Do you realize how valuable you are? Advertisers, search providers and online retailers are paying billions to reach you while you surf. How much of that money are you making? NONE! AGLOCO thinks you deserve a piece of the action. AGLOCO collects money from those companies on behalf of its members. (For example, Google currently pays AOL 10 cents for every Google search by an …

Migrant ship's passengers deserve 'due process': lawyer By DHARM MAKWANA, QMI Agency VANCOUVER – More than 200 migrants aboard cargo ship MV Sun Sea apparently bound for B.C. are entitled to due process of their refugee claims, said a Toronto-based lawyer. Gary Anandasangaree, who was in Vancouver last October to provide legal counsel to 76 Tamil men aboard the MV Ocean Lady, said Canadians should ask why these people have taken such an “extraordinary risk” in crossing the Pacific Ocean. “The danger that we face here is that there’s significant generalization as to who and what they are,” he said. “First and foremost, we have to look at these people as…

Channel 4 News Editor, Ben de Pear (@bendepear) writes: Today, Sri Lanka's President Mahinda Rajapaksa closed what has been a controversial Chogm summit.

by Kumar David Let there be no doubt about it; the military entering Jaffna University, framing allegations and incarcerating Tamil students is intended to send a chilling and brutal message to all Tamil dissent. "We have crushed you once, don’t dare raise your heads again; we will do it again. Learn your place as second class citizens of Lanka; a new social order has been defined. Live with it!" The reconciliation and rebuilding covenant that Rajapaksa tried to sell to the international community has caved in; the age of another round of ethnic conflict is opening up. Let’s get the facts on the table as far as known; and I rely on sources that are credible. It all …

I am usually very frank, so I hope to tell India honestly if I can’t do something; and if I can, I will do it soon, the Sri Lankan President says. Promising to be “frank” and “upfront” to avoid the misunderstandings of the past between New Delhi and Colombo, Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa says India and other countries in the region must invest more in Sri Lanka if they want to provide an alternative to Chinese investment. He also suggested closer coordination between the two countries and assured India that on the “main issues” of Sri Lankan ties with China and Pakistan, there would be no problem “that creates suspicions amongst Indian authorities”. …

Western media ignores Sri Lanka State Terror- Aussie doctor [TamilNet, Saturday, 25 August 2007, 13:35 GMT] Queensland Pediatrician and Director of Townsville Hospital's Neonatal Unit, Dr John Whitehall, talking with Richard Fidler of ABC radio in the program "Conversation hour" early this week, said that in Tamil eelam there "is tremendous commitment from a population of only three million people [for separation].

Sri Lanka was for decades an example of how sectarian conflict can wreck an otherwise fortunate country. It has had three years to show how devolving power to an ethnic minority can bring about lasting peace. Now it looks as if the opportunity will be lost. Sri Lanka paid an enormous price to bring 26 years of civil war to an end. An estimated 40,000 people died in the last months of fighting in 2009, bringing the conflict’s final toll to more than 100,000. This includes a sitting president, Ranasinghe Premadasa, and a former Indian prime minister, Rajiv Gandhi, who were killed in suicide bombings by the separatist Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam. Yet there was h…

Sri Lanka’s recent elections may worsen policy uncertainty and ambitious growth targets may widen deficits with stimulus, amid planned tax cuts which may reduce revenues, Fitch, a rating agency has warned. President Gotabaya Rajapaksa’s economic manifesto had targeted an average growth rate of 6.5 percent or higher and promoting commodity and apparel exports, construction and tourism. “Strengthening growth and exports would be credit positive, but we think there is a risk of a more expansionary fiscal stance after the parliamentary elections,” Fitch ratings said. “Although detailed economic plans are yet to be announced, we think achieving ambitious growth …
