The government scents victory; to others, it smells like prolonged war THE Sri Lankan government, and the majority ethnic-Sinhalese population that backs it, are gloating over the death of S.P. Tamilselvan, political commissar of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, in an air raid on November 2nd. To them it is proof that the Sri Lankan army has gained the upper hand under the leadership of Mahinda Rajapaksa, the president, and his brother, Gotabhaya, the defence secretary. They believe the latter's boast that his forces know the whereabouts of the Tigers' leaders, and that they will be killed one by one. To government loyalists, Sri Lanka is well on the road to an …

LTTE could gain from Tamil Nadu realignments MR Narayan Swamy (IANS) New Delhi, March 11, 2006|13:29 IST Tamil Nadu's close race for power might prove a mixed bag for Sri Lanka's Tamil Tiger guerrillas, rather than the windfall it could have been for the insurgent group outlawed in India. The moves by Vaiko's MDMK and T Tirumavalavan's Dalit Panthers of India (DPI) to contest the May assembly elections with Tamil Nadu's ruling AIADMK may provide the Tigers political access to Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa they lacked - if she retains power. But if India's ruling United Progressive Alliance (UPA) ousts the MDMK for aligning with its foe in …

Mr Woolmer was found dead in his hotel in Jamaica on 18 March after Pakistan's first-round exit from the World Cup.

The foreign minister of Sri Lanka has confirmed that the support of United States of America was key to defeating the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) in a war that ended with the massacre of at least 70,000 civilians.

Mangala Samaraweera had previously held the foreign ministry portfolio under Rajapaksa from 2005 to early 2007, before been appointed as foreign minister by President Maithripala Sirisena in 2015.

LOS ANGELES - A federal judge struck down President Bush's authority to designate groups as terrorists, saying his post-Sept. 11 executive order was unconstitutional and vague, according to a ruling released Tuesday. The Humanitarian Law Project had challenged Bush's order, which blocked all the assets of groups or individuals he named as "specially designated global terrorists" after the 2001 terrorist attacks. "This law gave the president unfettered authority to create blacklists," said David Cole, a lawyer for the Washington, D.C.-based Center for Constitutional Rights that represented the group. "It was reminiscent of the McCarthy era." The case centere…

Sri Lanka to crack down on terror but no rebel ban COLOMBO (Reuters) - Sri Lanka will introduce tough emergency regulations to curb terrorist activities but will not impose a ban on Tamil Tiger rebels, the island's government said on Wednesday. ADVERTISEMENT The cabinet's decision comes after months of escalating violence between the army and the rebels, including bomb blasts in the capital, and amid fears a ban could sink hopes of avoiding a return to all-out civil war. Last week, a suicide attack in Colombo targeted President Mahinda Rajapakse's brother Gothabaya Rajapakse, who is also the island's Defense Secretary and escaped unscathed. "T…

Sri Lankan Human Rights Advisers Resign, Criticize Government By Jay Shankar Oct. 16 (Bloomberg) -- Four activists resigned from Sri Lanka's advisory panel on human rights, saying the government is intent on fighting Tamil rebels, not protecting civil rights.

Rights group wants S.Lanka ex-rebel charged in UK By Peter Apps LONDON, Nov 3 (Reuters) - Britain should look at trying ex-Sri Lankan Tamil Tiger rebel Karuna Amman, detained on immigration charges, for war crimes, Human Rights Watch said on Saturday.

The moment I step outside of my motherland I am a woman of colour, a minority and I’ve seen the the clear contrast of the life of a majority and a minority; an unpleasant truth people are often scared to discuss, easily shoved under the carpet. I’m aware that you live amidst all kinds of everyday microaggressions and the petty egomaniacle superio…
