De regering van Sri Lanka laat een onderzoek instellen naar de dood van vijf jonge Tamil-mannen maandag in de noordoostelijke havenstad Trincomalee. Militairen zeiden dat zij om het leven zijn gekomen nadat een granaat ontplofte die zij bij zich droegen. Zij zouden volgens de militairen met de Tamil Tijgers van plan zijn geweest hun konvooi in een hinderlaag te lokken. Volgens mensenrechtenorganisaties had het leger het vuur op de mannen geopend.

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 …

Operation Unceasing Waves - 1 (Battle of Mullaitivu) Background: Operation Unceasing Waves was the code name assigned to the LTTE assault on the Sri Lankan army's military complex at Mullaitivu launched on 18 July 1996. A week of intense fighting followed and the result was an overwhelming victory for the Liberation Tigers. Apart from inflicting heavy casualties on the enemy, and capturing vast quantities of arms and ammunition, the operation boosted the morale of the Tamils both in the homelands and abroad. Sri Lankan propaganda claims that the LTTE had been destroyed were disproved. A few documents related to the operation have be…

By Murali Vallipuranathan – Murali Vallipuranathan Few days ago, “The Hindu” an Indian newspaper published a news citing an information purportedly given by Indian Intelligence that LTTE was regrouping in Mullivaikal on May 18th on the day of Tamil genocide Remembrance Day for an attack (1). While reading this news, one may recall the Sri Lankan radio news during the war, where many blatant lies and fabrications were unraveled quoting a news agency called “Lanka Puvath“. Whenever India makes a major political move in Sri Lanka the Indian intelligence Agency publishes similar blatant and fabricated stories either directly or through their news agencies li…

Instead of hovering in the air for a while as most bombers do before releasing their deadly cargo these planes set about their task quickly and precisely. Like the four horsemen of the apocalypse t…

“What can I do?” - thoughts for the Tamil Diaspora Janani Barathy Tamil Guardian 06 February 2008 The plight of our people has been steadily reaching newer levels. And, after being an observer with a hands-off approach, I decided to do something about it. I became proactive - in small ways. As a mother of two young children living in Sydney, Australia and having many commitments, it was not easy to change my inaction - but I did. I firmly believe now, that if we all do our little part and started working towards a common vision, that vision will and must materialize. I realise there’s spiritual element to this as well, and of course some people are skepti…
