re: From Rwanda to Darfur via Vanni, Tamileelam.

Sir,

In an indifferent world, Gen. Romeo Dallaire and a few thousand ill-equipped U.N. peacekeepers were all that stood between Rwandans and genocide. The Canadian commander did what he could-did more than anyone else-but he sees his mission as a terrible failure and counts himself among its casualties. After a 100-day reign of terror, some 800,000 Rwandan civilians were dead. He'd begged. He'd bellowed. He'd even disobeyed orders.

The plight of the Tamil people has always been just that, the plight of the Tamil people.

Put simply, the onus has consistently fallen on Tamils to draw light to their own humanitarian cause. Of course, who better to speak for Tamils than Tamils themselves but the problem lies in the reality that the cause is not solely theirs but a cause familiar to all of humankind.

At least 100 000 people have been killed in the insurgency and scores more displaced. Recent military advances by the government into the northern region has trapped some 300 000 civilians. Hundreds of deaths have occurred in the protected areas due to artillery bombings. It is now reported more than 500 children have also died.

Sri Lanka continues to hoodwink UN and others, using its status as a state. Sri Lanka also sends 30000 tons of food to 300000 after 3 weeks to please visiting Holmes and UN. Why is not using land route to send more food and medicine when it asks the same route for Tamils to leave Vanni?? What is Sri Lanka is using A9 highway for?

UN has a responsibility to hold the government of Sri Lanka accountable for its complicit role in this crisis. But a lack of will proves to be a hindrance in taking action.

When comes to Tamils, UN has an advantage to reclaim its lost image after Rwanda. For that UN must act now and decisively.

Sincerely,
