Tigeress19,
Dont get me wrong. You are absolutely right about reputation. But its still not a legal document on the LTTE or GOSL. Both have to be bind my it for their reputation sake. Which is why both are reluctant to pull out. Atleast thats the only thing tamils and singhalese can be proud about.
They are both violating it left right and center but its not abrogation. |

so do you think the ltte will walk away from the signed agreement because it violates the constitution?
Ofcourse not.
Also the GOSL wont. It ties the LTTE down in a limbo peace process.
At the end of the day tigeress19 in an agreement both parties benefit and give in some. Its never one take it all or one loses all. That is what negotiation is all about.
But in sri lanka we sri lankans be it singhalese or tamil are always keen to look at what the other man got not what we got. Hence why peace is not possible. The bitterness btw the two communities is very high. They will fight under the same roof (unitary state) and they will fight even if they are next door neighbours (separation). |

the ltte is on the process of hiring international lawyers(of course the ones who professed in this category) to study the CFA to take it further.
i have no idea, how much the ltte will succeed on this subject but many are looking into it.
all these developments started when the slmm ruled out the sea, air rights to the ltte.
thats all i know ajo7. |

Naleen.
1)how do you know pirabhakaran actually signed it?
Norway is the one should answer it.
2)what is ltte? an authority controls a state within a state.
i)is it a legal entity? should have asked that Q before sign the document.
3)is pirabhaharan is empowered to sign documents?
thats what the ltte says and the Norway as a mediator arranged by the gosl agrees.
4)who gave that power?
should ask prabha and Norway.
5)ranil empowered to sign?
ranil should answer and the Norwegians agreed with ranil.
6)who gave ranil that power?
people of lanka and the president CBK.
SIGNED between the two power points( kilinochchi and colombo) in the presence of Norway.
OK ,I'm immature naleen., have you got more naleen?

Forest,
To the LTTEers:
(i) stop pointless war, forever
(ii) negotiate with international mediation
(iii) Implement power sharing system e.g. federal system, devolution of power or similar that would be agreed to in (ii) above
This is too good to be true, but, you have a catch 'at the right time in the future'. Did you know the right time never came in the past (50 years)? |

Tigress19,
The CFA has been violated by the LTTE more than 3500! times by the LTTE! much,much,much more than the SLGovt, according to the SLMM.
My view is that both sides but especially the LTTE should strictly adhere to the CFA if there is to be longterm peace. |

Guys,
We have started on this blooming CFA nonsense again. Infact one doesnt need to go to court or whatever. Ground reality is that the LTTE demarcated area is even quoted by GOSL when they say karuna does not function in GOSL areas. By that mere statement your accepting that in land some areas are controlled by you and some are not.
Anyway I am not interested in CFA. After 4 years its nothing but a meaningless document that adds little or no value now. Inspite of it being there the LTTE and GOSL carry on attacks at free will. So who cares about this piece of paper now. There again tigeress19 i think the LTTE should spend more time using their international lawyers to lobby against international bans rather than waste time on CFA.
Naleen,
I agree with your point that you cant keep everyone happy. Would admire the courage of a leader who steps up to the plate to FORCE a solution. I guess in Asia at times thats the best course. You look at China, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan they all went ahead with decisions people didnt like. I am not a big believer of western style democracy. The pure western style democracy has never worked in Asia. I dont like to generalise but there again i find it hard to find any role model countries in asia. I guess except India. But anyway i just feel the pure western style democracy is ok for them but probably wont work for us.
People say when you have democracy you have better checks and balances. Is that true though ? Whether Asia or West corruption is there in democracy too. Human rights abuse is there everywhere too. |

Ajo7,
As far as GoSLs are concerned what is the common factor in BC Pact, SC Pact, CFA and P-TOMS?
Can anybody tell me which one is dead and which is alive?
Is anyone of them an agreement or all are just time-wasting exercises? |
