Tigers respond positively for Co-Chairs` call for talks
Friday, 22 September 2006 - 8:07 PM SL Time

Liberation Tigers officials at the LTTE`s Peace Secretariat in Kilinochchi Friday said that the Tigers had responded positively for the International Community`s call for talks in Oslo to Norwegian Ambassador Hans Brattskar, in a meeting Friday where LTTE`s Political Head S. P. Thamilchelvan discussed the ground situation and the recent statement from the Co-Chairs, who represent the donor community to Sri Lanka.

The re-opening of A9 Road and the ground situation in Sri Lanka Army controlled areas, where abductions and killings were taking place at an alarming rate, were discussed in detail in the meeting that lasted from 11:00 a.m. till 01:00 p.m., the sources said.

The need for the effective functioning of the SLMM was also discussed in the meeting Friday, the LTTE sources added.

Tamileelam Police Chief, B. Nadesan, Director of LTTE`s Peace Secretariat, S. Puleedevan, LTTE`s Peace Secretariat official B. Selvy accompanied Mr. Thamilchelvan in his meeting with the Norwegian Ambassador.

The Co-Chairs of the donor community, Norway, the European Union, the USA and Japan met in Brussels on September 12, and said that the Parties should cease all violence immediately.

The donors called on Colombo to `ensure its military abides by the Ceasefire Agreement and implements the pledges from the Geneva meeting in February 2006.`

`There should be no change to the specific arrangements for the north and east which could endanger the achievement of peace,` the Co-Chairs statement alluded in response to the moves in the South aimed at de-merging the NorthEast.

`The LTTE must show that it is willing to make the compromises needed for a political solution within a united Sri Lanka,` the statement had said.

`The Parties should use this opportunity to show maximum flexibility regarding the arrangements to be proposed by the Facilitator,` the statement issued by the Co-Chairs said.

The Co-chairs had called the Parties for the talks `urgently in Oslo, at the beginning of October,` and said that the `Parties should cease all violence immediately.`

The Tigers recently said it was Colombo, as the party that launched military offensives, that had the initial responsibility to honor the Norwegian brokered Ceasefire Agreement and respect the CFA positions.

This is the key, there is no way the GoSL can do this, since they didn't do it even after Geneva 1, so the tigers are going to be fully justified when they start the war. Unless of course MR has the guts to actually do it, but look at how the weeramonkey and gang are screeching over him just talking with Norway, I wonder what they would do if he actually allowed food into Tamil areas!

'You can't move prisoners to a war zone. This is basically a violation of the Geneva convention,' said Bijo Francis, a programme officer at the Hong Kong-based Asian Human Rights Commission.

'Here prisoners are being moved from a place where they are relatively safe to a place where they are under artillery fire, which means that the government is disregarding their rights. They are exposing them to more danger.'


Another violation of GOSL.

Under fire, under siege: Hard time Sri Lanka style

Apply more Kfir diplomacy... and LTTE would calls for immediate talks (tomorrow morning?)... even bypassing the crooked Norwegians.

Come to think of it, using Kfir 'diplomacy' can actually make Norwegians OUT OF THE SCENE...

Food for thought...

Friday, September 22nd, 2006

New Delhi - A group of Sri Lankan MPs sympathetic to the Tamil Tigers Friday failed to meet Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and left for Chennai after seeking ?closest contact? with India in order to open a new chapter in relations soured by the 1991 killing of former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi.
