Chief Peace Negotiator Nimal Siripala de Silva says Govt not keen on talks with Tigers

Lankan News Replies

Health Minister and government s Chief Peace Negotiator Nimal Siripala De Silva, has ruled out the possibility of holding any more talks with the LTTE even as a series of explosions killed more than 50 people in the span of just three days.

We are now not keen to talk with Tigers. We are also not keen for a federal solution. We are for power devolution, Siripala said, addressing the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) members of the Badulla electorate

He is reported to have said that the government will not waste time in negotiations and finding a federal solution to the ethnic crisis, but instead was keen to implement the 13th Amendment fully.

He has further said that the government will only devolve power to the peripheries under the 13th Amendment and would find a solution under a united Sri Lanka.

The government Minister s statement comes even as the country faces a week of reckoning following a series of explosions that has killed more than 50 civilians and injured hundreds in the capital and elsewhere, continuing air raids on LTTE bases in the north even as the country celebrated 60 years of independence on Monday.

The streets of Colombo were spared heavy traffic congestion yesterday even at peak hours in the morning and early evening, due to many working in the capital opting to stay away from work in the wake of the series of devastating attacks targeting civilians in the recent days. There has also been a drastic reduction in the number of commuters using trains to enter the capital.

Following two explosions on Sunday (3) and another in Moratuwa on Monday (4), the city remains in the grip of fear and bomb scares via text messaging has been the order of the day. Perhaps realising the state of acute instability and insecurity prevailing in the country, President Mahinda Rajapaksa in his Independence Day Speech called for an early solution to the national question and promised his people that their need to tighten their belts and ensure acts of terrorism will not last forever. Just hours later however, a suspected LTTE claymore attack in Welioya, just outside the military s 223 division headquarters killed 15 people and injured many more paralysing the small village and resulting in the closure of schools in Welioya and Padaviya until further notice.

Oi Nimal

You got Sankaree DogClass Pillaiyan Sithathar all the rejects from the Tamil Society, spend all your money on them they are worth it, and the Tamils dont want them.

If you want to solve the problems you got to talk to none other than LTTE whether you like it or loathe it!!!

Keep feeding the punnakku to your mesmerised 84% they need the punnakku!

Mr.Nimala sripala de silva,

It is very very interesting to read your statments on LTTE and federal or devolution . But you don't have any such power neither your President Duttegemunu Mr.mahinda but it is entierely in the hands of your army general Mr.Ponnaseka. He who holds the administration and nobody else.

Mr.Ponnaseka is very close to your friend JVP and without these two person sri lanka can not find a solution even after the death of Mr.Brabhakaran or even other LTTE TN A Members.

Can't you just understand why the Japanese special envoy went tosee first the JVP culprits before your puppet President?

The whole international communities knew this situation and they knew that without JVP and Mr.Pnnaseka there won''t be any solution.

So whether you are keen or not on any talks with Tamils or with the donor countries it doesn't matter as long as your government is upheld by army generals.

Keep it in your little brain Mr.Nimal that you can't even move an inch for peace talks without the green light from your army chef Mr.Ponnaseka and JVP leaders.

Are you joking with your poor sinhalese people?

Ponnaseka will send you a message saying that he has destroyed 200 bunkers and he is close to Mr.VB's bed room in the jungle.
On second day he will tell you that he has found nearly 200 or 2000 bunkers but unable to destroy them before the dead line.

After two weeks he will give the message to all sinhalese news papers that his men have killed 1005 LTTE men and there is only 1995 LTTE men remain to be killed.

after two weeks you will read in the news papers that VB has sank two navy boats and killed nearly 34 navy personnals.

so you will read daily and ie for nothing untill the last bombs blas at your door.

This is your army general Mr.Ponnaseka.

These guys have perfected only three things,
how to cheat people,
how to tell lies and
how to bleed the country.

2008 will bring clarity to Sri Lanka conflict- Balakumaran

TamilNet, Wednesday, 02 January 2008, 16:54 GMT

'The International Community has been vacillating in taking decisive actions on Sri Lanka because they are unable to relate their own interests to the chaotically unfolding political and military situation in Sri Lanka. Only the demonstration of military strength by the Tigers can bring clarity to the situation, for the international community to correctly relate their interests, and assertively engage,' said Balakumaran, a Senior Member of Liberation Tigers of Tamileelam, during a Political Analysis program, Nilavaram, in National Television of Tamileelam (NTT), this week.

Marksman,

Do you remember 911 ? CIA and FBI killed more than thousand people.. and accused some fake Muslims terrorists..

You know , the intelligence lies on doubts. (Rene Descartes)

I'm maybe a stupid for you, but definitely i do not trust the Sri Lankan government ! I dont eat every single bullshit like you..

Marksman, Nugegoda bombing was done by GOSL. Killing of Maheswaran was done by a epdp agent and hidden by the same GOSL. Do you expect me to believe them ??

What a fool are you.
