Liberation Tigers Political Head S.P. Thamilchelvan Wednesday held discussions with the Head of Sri Lanka Monitoring Mission (SLMM) Major General Lars Johan Sølvberg, urging the Head of Mission to clarify the stand of Government of Sri Lanka (GoSL) after the refusal by Sri Lanka Army in allowing the truce monitors access the Muhamalai area. Mr. Thamilchelvan questioned the HoM on the cooperation extended by GoSL in restoring normalcy in re-opening the land route and relieve the humanitarian sufferings of 500,000 civilians entrapped in economic embargo and GoSL refusal to open the Jaffna Kandy A9 route. Also other access routes to LTTE controlled areas in the East remain blocked.
`Restoration of normalcy is a basic requirement in the Ceasefire Agreement,` Mr. Thamilchelvan said when contacted by TamilNet Wednesday evening.
`The refusal to open A9 route is a serious humanitarian violation by the Sri Lankan state,` he further said.
`We have noted that Colombo was able to take journalists to Muhamalai FDL area but it refused access to the Sri Lanka Monitoring Mission,` LTTE`s Political Head commented.
Article 2:10 of the Ceasefire Agreement states that the Parties shall open the Kandy-Jaffna road (A9) to non-military traffic of goods and passengers.
The SLMM Head, in his latest weekly report, said that the humanitarian crisis in many areas in the North and in the East is `steadily worsening with limited supplies being brought up to Jaffna and into various LTTE areas leaving thousands of people without basic necessities and paralysed economic activity.`
`Aid agencies are in general prevented from going into LTTE areas,` the SLMM`s weekly report noted.
`With the monsoon season on its way it is likely that the conditions of people in general will get worse.`
The Co-Chairs of Tokyo Donor Conference, Norway, the European Union, the USA and Japan, met in Brussels on September 12 and urged the parties to cease violence and `show maximum flexibility.`
`Failure to cease hostilities, pursue a political solution, respect Human Rights and protect Humanitarian Space could lead the international community to diminish its support,` the Co-Chairs said.

If the northern population is suffering spreading the grief in the south is how the south will understand the plight of the others.
GOSL is willing to sacrifice hundreds of soldiers and when their next of kin inquire they will probably be listed under MIA and that will be the end,
I would like to see the MIA vs KIA numbers is anyone has them!

Does the article say that LTTE should collect taxes? |

let me correct you,
LTTE never closed the anicut. it was the residents of mavil aru closed it in protest of drinking water ( NGO funded drinking water waas promissed but government only done to sinhala area and neglected tamil areas people have protested ,wrote to people then they dicided to closed the gate to get the government attention)
only after Sl airforce planes bombed LTTE taken over the situation.
it was government hiden agenda.
after request made by SLMM ,LTTE prepared to open it but government continued to bomb,even when SLMM head was there they shelled.
do you remember all? |

Tamilchelvam is silent on the related issue of 'vehicle, and goods taxation' - which LTTE will be re- imposing once the A9 is opened. The LTTE is running short of funds .. with bank assets seized in many countries .. including the TRO fund in SL.
Situation is so bad, the 'A-9 tax rate' of the LTTE will be double what it was, when the road-way is opened - if nothing is done by SL Govt, in this regard. GOSL should stipulate - A9 will be opened, subject to non-imposition of taxes by the LTTE, re- vehicles using this road-way. |

It doesn't say they shouldn't.
Why don't you start by following what is in the CFA and you talk about what isn't after huh?
Well its ok everyone knows its not going to happen, this is just the LTTE building up their case for when the start the SLA Olympics. |
