Mr..... : in every meeting I and other members of my staff have with members of the government, we stress the need for a political solution that will be acceptable to Tamils in particular. Bob Blake

Subject: "Two Decades of War, Five Years of the CFA, What Next?"

Mr. Robert O. Blake,

Embassy of USA, Colombo, Sri Lanka.

Dear Hon. Ambassador,

You were addressing symposium in 2007 where a question posed as follows: after two decades of war and 5 years of the CFA, what next? Well, it is time revisit this question once again. There will be more war, if Tamils are not given political rights. ( http://srilanka.usembassy.gov/feb212007.html )

President Rajapakse is a former human-rights activist who in 1990 called on donors to link aid to human rights and told parliament: "We are prepared to go to any lengths to save human rights from this government." Now he stands accused of the very abuses he criticized.

The opportunity trusted by Tamils in the form of ceasefire agreement was a trap to weaken Tamils militarily. Unfortunately for Tamils, we trusted the international community and feel betrayed now. Nearly two years of continued war against Tamils has resulted in more than 10000 – 30000 deaths and over a millions newly displaced. Tamils have become refugees in their own land. Is this a civil war or a war between two nations?

Sri Lanka's President, the commander of chief and the Sinhala people have been in a jubilant and euphoric state lately after the fall of the capital town of the LTTE and other "victories". LTTE made Sri Lankan ethnic issues become world known while their mini state told the world at large they could govern. If Sinhalese want to make this victory permanent the Sri Lanka government should behave in a responsible manner, bring a much acceptable political package to Tamils. And that is a hard to sell now than ever before in the history of Sri Lanka.

Two and a half years ago You suggested that power-sharing proposal by the "All Party Rpresentative Committee (APRC)" was in the final stage. The last we heard the APRC is now sitting for its 100th session. Sri Lanka is not interested in achieving long lasting peace as it is now only interested in "victory over Tamils". APRC is nothing but a political farce.

In conclusion, like President Bush said today, "the American people are tired of war in Iraq", Tamils too are tired of Sri Lanka's long genocidal war. It is not yet too late for US and the international community to do the right thing. The only way we could achieve peace is by recognizing Tamils Right to Self-Determination, should Sri Lanka fails to put forward an acceptable politcal package.

Truly,

Canada
