THe LTTE used to have a lot of firepower those days, now they have word-power and rhetoric. I think the diaspora and the supporters destroyed them in style. So our salute to you all. Thank you, we could have done it without you, but you guys made it more poetic. Your senseless fund raising, illegal activities and just being the pain in the backside ensured that the LTTE got noticed and got whacked in the head.

Gunapala,you bad boy ,trying to undermine our efforts. Shame on you. There were no such reports , all fabricated, we love to sacrifice our kids for the security of our Sun God the Tamil moron of the century, the Schizophrenic fat Tamil pig Prabhakaran the one and only total destructor of the Tamil society.


Maga,

You have to open the link and read the article. The report explain how tigers desperately force Wanni Tamils to fight against their will. And how they are hiding from Tamil tigers. This unbiased report completely destroys tamil diaspora's claim that 'tamils are tigers'

I use that heading only sarcastically. Sorry for leading to misunderstanding.

Sri Lanka: Children still forced to fight for Tamil Tigers
GALLE, 19 July 2007 (IRIN) - For four years, R. Ganesh and his wife Lakshmi have held out hope that one day they would see their son safely return to his home in Trincomalee District in eastern Sri Lanka. Lakshmi has hardly stopped crying since the day her only child, Jeggan, then nine years old, was taken away by members of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) and forcibly recruited as a soldier.

Jeggan was abducted on 14 December 2002 by four LTTE soldiers, dressed in combat uniforms, who forced their way into the family's house.

'They stuck guns to our foreheads and told us not to scream,' Lakshmi told IRIN. 'They blindfolded the three of us and told us that we had to fight for the Tamil struggle,' she added. 'They then took my son away and we have not seen him since.'

Despite a ceasefire agreement signed in 2002 between the government and the LTTE, child recruitment has continued by the LTTE and the Karuna faction, which broke away from the LTTE in 2004, according to JoAnna van Gerpen, the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) Sri Lanka representative.

Since 2001, the LTTE has forcibly recruited more than 5,700 child combatants, according to UNICEF, of whom only 1,958 have been released. UNICEF also said that as of 31 May 2007, there were 198 outstanding cases of underage recruitment by the Karuna group, with only 60 released to date.

Since Jeggan's abduction, his parents have lodged complaints with UNICEF and the Trincomalee Police but he has still not been found.

'He will be 14 this October,' Lakshmi said. 'But I do not know if he is still alive. I pray to God he is.'

Hundreds of other parents in the conflict-ridden northern and eastern districts of Sri Lanka continue to hope for the safe return of their children. Exact numbers of forced recruits are hard to determine as many families do not register the abductions, according to humanitarian agencies.

Some children as young as seven or eight have been taken, according to UNICEF. Out of the 1,591 outstanding cases of underage recruitment by the LTTE, 506 are younger than 18.

Families living in fear

Despite a fresh pledge by the LTTE in June to rid its ranks of child soldiers by the end of 2007 and Karuna protestations that it was not involved in child recruitment at all, parents in the eastern and northern districts of Batticaloa, Trincomalee and Jaffna remain unconvinced.

'We are scared to sleep at night as we do not know when our children will be taken away,' 48-year-old Jeyaraja Kandasamy from Jaffna, who has two sons, age 12 and 14, told IRIN. He said many other parents have similar fears.

'The war is continuing despite both the government and the LTTE claiming that the ceasefire agreement is in existence,' said L. Kumaraswamy, a resident of Vavuniya. 'We do not know what to expect in the future, but we fear our children are not safe here.

'The LTTE has made so many pledges that they will not make our children fight, but they have continued with their abductions,' Kumraswamy said. 'Where are we to go? We won't just give our children away,' he added.

The LTTE, classified as one of the world's worst offenders in the recruitment of child soldiers, made similar pledges to rid its ranks of children in 1998 and 2006, but is still accused of recruiting children younger than 18 by both the UN and human rights organisations, as is Karuna.

Andy Brooks, chief of the child protection section of UNICEF in Sri Lanka, told IRIN that a psychosis of fear had developed among children and parents in the north and east. 'People are afraid. Parents fear for themselves and the lives of their children,' Brook said. 'Every child has to be protected and freed from the military struggle.'

Nagenahira Navodaya Drama from Sinhala Terrorist GOSL Modayas to Sinhala matti modayas........so we lankan Tamils least bothered and we know the current realities of East.....also Army Prsad samarasinhe knows about it....but unfortunately colombo media shows that they are not aware of the current situation in east.....which is pathetic !

This has been a reality for the past 30 years....most of the modayas of this forum may not be aware of this concept...paw aney

Good performance by maha modaya mahinda to hide the major crisis due to unbearable cost of living due to which most of the sinhala modayas are suffering on daily basis....so mahinda has to tell all these gonibilla stories of thoppigala and navodaya drama....let us wait and see how long this strategy intend to work for this fool of the first grade ! and fools of the third grade getting excited listening to it !!

Read shrimal's last post.And this report:
http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/COL85837.htm

Only tamil diaspora is fighting willingly on the web.Since they are not in a risk living abroad.
Innocent civilians in yet-to-liberate areas in North are desperately waiting to be liberated by SL forces.

Only you guys are benifited by this unwanted war having Asylum status from the west.Only that explains your sympathy towards tigers.Poor parents are struggling in the North to save their children from bloody tigers.

Very correct, in England there are lot Tamil terrorist refugees on state benefits and also illegally working and credit card scams, money laundering etc. These goons are the curse of our country.

The wise Tamils in this forum who support wise and all mighty VP have to be thankful to Mahinda's moda brain, for the simple reason that if he had a clever (by half) brain like VP and the Tamil diaspora, all of them would have ended up in the Indian Ocean!

All of us who are against terrorism love Mahinda's moda brain that could chase wise VP and his gang of wise crooks from the East!!
