Anud
The short answer is you are not good in analysis. So wait ans see the final result and conclude. Until that you can talk your rhetoric.
what is your analysis?
The GOSL should send 10 satellites into orbit???
The GOSL didnt fail in talks like they did in war??
The GOSL at the talks didnt run like the SLA in the battlefield?
Please continue Please do.
You seem to give us an idea of how the GOSL and Mahinda Chithana thinks. |

SLMM HAS V ITAL INFORMATION ON MAN SLAUGHTER IN KAYTS
Posted by lmcom
Monday, 15 May 2006
By Qadija Quddus
The bestial man slaughter of 17 civilians, including two children, in the northern peninsula last Saturday night was being investigated by the Sri Lanka Monitoring Mission (SLMM), said its spokesperson Helen Olgsdottir. She said that they already have some vital information as to who was behind the gruesome killings but cannot say anything until they conclude their investigations which might take a few more days.
Grave violations of the Ceasefire Agreement (CFA) were being committed in the north and east during the last fortnight , she said , adding that although the two sides have not -8216;officially resigned' from the CFA they have very much impaired it bringing it to the verge of collapse' , she said.
At Allaipiddy, Vangalavadi and Puliyankoodal villages at the entrance to the Kayts offshore island in Jaffna, 13 people, including two children, were killed in separate incidents Saturday night.. Unidentified gunmen were reported to have opened fire at point blank range at members of a families who were in their houses. On the same night unidentified gunmen shot dead another four persons in three separate houses at Velanai in the offshore island..
While the LTTE accused the Government security forces and -8216;para-military' groups for the killings, government spokesman, Minister Keheliya Rambukwella, said that ' the ruthless killing of Tamil civilians could very well be a part of the LTTE strategy to divert international opinion '.

Dillont.
The basis for the current situation is.
1956 : Sinhala only act
The Tamils felt discriminated and pushed for a federal system through the Federal Party in the early 70's. TULF was a coalition of parties who went on to campaign in the 1977 elections for an independent state for Tamils in Sri Lanka. They won and went to Parliament to represent the northern and eastern provinces. The government banned TULF representatives from parliament for advocating an independent state. Frustrated by the ongoing politics, Tamil youth started to form militant groups, some funded by bank robberies, and military presence in the north also grew
The LTTE grew out of frustation that even a legitimate Tamil representatives was banned by the Sri Lankan government.
In 1983 as we all know, after the criminal group of the LTTE killed some soldiers the Sri Lankan government hit back by turning a blind eye on the anti-tamil riots in Colombo (doesn't make sense does it? because you can't get a group of criminals you just kill other innocent people?)
So after the riots the LTTE grew from a Tamil militant group to a Tamil liberation group because the got they sympathy of so many Tamils after the 1983 (also this is also a point when I refer to when I say that the biggest supporters of the Tigers are not the Tamil diaspora but the Sri Lankan government. Other point is of course the SLA giving weapons to the Tigers to kick the Indians in the Premadase period)
But it was of course the Indians who trained groups like the LTTE to become a formidable group as they are now.
I guess you know the rest

The LTTE is trying to create a war like atmosphere for them to thrive, and in the process, especially making the people in the NE suffer the consequences.
The role of the SLGovt is to serve the people and govern the country e.g. tsunami recovery, dengue crisis, infrastructure development, business development, tourism development, health, education etc.
The role of the SLGovt is not to act as a sparring parther for the LTTE everytime the LTTE shouts WAR! Every single time this happens, the SLA and SLN runs around like headless chickens, helter, skelter, preparing for war! However, of course, the SLGovt has every right to defend itself from attack.
The SLGovt should stick to CFA, help the SLMM do its work and offer a long lasting political solution e.g. federal system/devolution etc. for the NE.
However, I think we should focus our attention away from war,LTTE etc and focus on the future development goals of the country. |

Well said forest.
Instead of this reacting like idiots on what the LTTE does. Why doesn't the government make a special team who, Preferably with a western country or the EU/IC, sit together and discuss what's the best solution for this problem?
The key question for them would be. How can the Sri Lankan government portray itself as a Sri Lankan government? How can we pass on our Sri Lankan feeling to our citizens? How can we make Sinhalese, Tamils, Muslims and others first feel Sri Lanka and will see their ethnic as a nice flavour..?

Your attempt is to divide the tamils from the LTTE. That stage has long passed and will never happen.
The weapons given by the GOSL then and training obtained by India in the INITIAL stages are totally irrlevant now.
Throughout history the sinhala GOSLs have fooled the tamils. This will never happen any more,Full stop. |

Please open your eyes.
The SLMM report clearly states that the vilence after the first geneva talks started with Vigneswarans killing on the 7th of April(although many civilians were killed before this).The first claymore mine was on the 8th of April.
Having failed and having submitted to disarm the armed paramilitaries the GOSL is forced to start the war. |

Athos you are right,
I didn't state that the wish for a federal state began in the 70's. No, but that was after the Sinhala only act in 1956 an important happening. And also the banning of the Tulf after their campaign for a federal system started the growth of Tamil militant groups like the LTTE. |

LTTE Commander killed in Claymore attack
June 10, 2006 10:10 GMT
Ltte has punished the man who murdered 4-member family who had close contacts with the army. Mannar commander had been over reacted without the consent of the leader. This murder has been caused unbearable angry among people in Mannar against tigers and they have volunteered to give information to SLA and police about tiger whereabouts.

My vision for the future of Sri Lanka is this:
We can CHOSE to do the following.
1. The Sri Lankan government does it's best to create a Sri Lankan feeling among it's citizens. The citizens of Sri Lanka first feel Sri Lankan and see their ethnic as a nice flavour. And Sri Lanka would consists of states like the US. Actually I think the American model is perfect for Sri Lanka. In the US, everyone wants to be American. But the States have much power.
2. The government choses to continue their own way and keep portraying themselves as Sinhalese buddist leaders. Well that's fine but then the country should be seperated in 2 (or more..)
But always, the goal of these 2 ways should be at the end PEACE FOR EVERYONE WHO LIVES IN SRI LANKA.
