Wanni Tigers Face Severe Food Shortage
The Security Forces of Sri Lanka are now engaged in conducting operations to 'liberate' the people of the Wanni from the grip of the Tiger terrorists. In the past few months the Security Forces have been making steady progress by launching attacks relentlessly against Tiger terrorist strongholds to 'liberate' the Wanni people from terrorist control. It has been confirmed by many independent reports the Tiger terrorists have sustained heavy casualties by the advancing Troops. These reports along with the number of terrorists killed and bunkers destroyed with stocks of food, essential items including military hardware bear witness to the fact that the Tigers are 'feeling the ever increasing heat due to Troops advancing in the Mannar, Welioya and Vavuniya 'fronts'.
It must be pointed out that almost all stocks of dry rations recovered from had been used sparingly to avert a food crisis and what they have left behind when fleeing from their bunkers is unfit for human consumption. This situation is ample evidence that their logistics system is in a state collapse with no replenishments in sight to sustain themselves for future combat. It is well known that while the ordinary terrorist cadres are undergoing untold misery confined to their bunkers, the Tiger hierarchy including the leader is 'comfortably' hiding in deep bunkers with their families. Many of their families are abroad.
There is further evidence of the pathetic plight of the terrorist cadres.
'I am still in tears. Mother, are you having any problems? I handed over five letters to these people expecting to hear from you. Mother, did you receive them? I am now in the Mullikulam area. This area is frequently being shelled. There is neither food nor drink here. We do not know when we can escape from the misery that is on us. Mother please does not worry about me'.
This is the pathetic plight of a child soldier during a period of heavy fighting in these areas. This is evidence of the pathetic plight of LTTE child soldiers who have been forcibly recruited, often snatched from their mother's bosom but made to fight without food or water in unimaginable circumstances for what their leaders promised would revolutionize their future. Today the Wanni Tigers have left these child soldiers to man the FDL's , left to fight the advancing Security forces. Such is the brutal Tiger leadership.
While the Security Forces are conducting well planned operations, the desperate attempts by the Tiger leadership to smuggle food, fuel, weapons, and military hardware are successfully disrupted by land, sea and air. Today, the Tiger logistics systems to replenish stocks have been completely disrupted and in disarray.
'Mother, I am in the Manner area battlefield. For the first time I arrived in the Mannar Forward Defense Lines on 8 /8/2007. I am still here. I am not alone but there is neither food nor water. Mother you realize what fate awaits when you join the LTTE. Mother I run, hitting the ground due to the shells falling besides me to get to a safe place to obtain food and water. This is my fate mother, but I do not know whether that is correct. '.
The letter quoted above was written by a young girl, Suya Naraileela and recovered by Troops from a bunker captured during operations in the past few weeks.
These letters provide evidence of the trauma as well as a personal picture of the conditions faced by child soldiers in the battlefield. These experiences are confirmed by all child soldiers and even terrorists who have surrendered to the Security Forces. They are also 'eye' witness accounts written by terrorists including child soldiers to their loved ones from the battlefield graphically stating their plight only proves that the terrorists are in a state of despair, 'hopelessness' and that their end of resistance is in sight.

REVY:
The reason, IO criticized Special forces, he is a Journalist and looks like either he is DUMB or he has his own agenda.
HE shows he is for MAhinda Rajapkase, Gotabhaya and for SLDFs b ut that is not what he is doing.
This Sri Lanka should belong to all her citizens and I MUST NOT be given some high status just because I was born in a Sinhalese Buddhist family.
UNITEDVRISE:
Theoretically you are right. but, practically speaking, you don't really understand what you are talking OR you don't want to understand it.
WE lived in Sri Lanka like equal citizens. But, many people did not consider it that way.
That is why all these happened this way.
There is no country in the world which is truely Secular except for India. When the have anti-discrimination legislation that was supposed to discourage discrimination among them.
There is systamatic discrimination and racism every where.
Only problem is every where. In a political point of view, they need to be there.
In a Buddhist point of view that should not be there.
This is a long topic. I just explained here and there.
I CATCH You later. |

Anud,
Yes in every society there is racism. I agree with you on that. As humans we always choose sides and favor the SIDE WE BELONG, that's the reality. That will be with us as long as humans exist. But surely it leads to dividens between humans on various grounds.
What I wrote MAY SOUND like just theory to you but that's exactly the way Sri Lankan society should go. I don't think we can achieve it 100%, but surely we can have a better society that way.
Ok Anud, tell me this. When Dalada Maligawa was attacked by LTTE in 98, do you think it would have been a very PATRIOTIC thing to burn Tamil houses and shops? Also to retaliate should we bomb Nallur kovil?
I heard from my father and grandma how our PATRIOTIC people retaliated in 1977 and 1983 in my area. And I heard a lot about Black July, and also later read that recruitments were very easy for Tamil militant groups after that.
Do you know that LTTE is desperate to create another similar event? Your sense of PATRIOTSM and FALSE NATIONALISM are the ideal platforms for LTTE to achieve their goal. So, if you think of countering TAMIL RACISM by SINHALESE RACISM you are heading right into a trap.
But I'm releived that you are neither in SLDF nor some decision making position. You will serve VP much better than his own Tiger cubs if you were in one of those positions.
So before spreading racism one should learn from the history, and that history is not that old. Probably you saw it by your own eyes.
Ok then CATCH me later:)

UNITEDVRISE:
First, I did not promote racism. IT is the Special Forces view about me and you approved it.
As far as I know, in relation to Sri Lanka, WE Sinhala people were not racists,but tamils did not think the same way.
that is why we are in this position.
WE can not be outright racists.But, we need to be aware of that and live accordingly. IF we forget it totally, sinhala people and SriLanka are over.
Black July is bad. it is shame. On the other hand, Even Britan, and USA had those.
So, Sinhala people are no different.
I think, you don't understand my position. You have stepped on your own tail.
AGAin, SpecialFORCES do more harm to the govt and to the SLDFs the way he is writing. I was not the only who objected the way he was writing.
I am wondering that he is some kind of a MOLE.
Come and criticize my individual postings. Otherwise, your labelling of me as racists does not count.
I heard from my father and grandma how our PATRIOTIC people retaliated in 1977 and 1983 in my area. And I heard a lot about Black July, and also later read that recruitments were very easy for Tamil militant groups after that.
You talk with what you heard from you mother and others.
I have seen,read, heard and purposely learned about this story. So, I know what I am talking and what my objectives are.
I GUESS that you are trying to be a 'FAIR JOURNALIST'. that is your only objective.

Let me put in my two cents too.
The begining of the solution to every problem that baffles us, and specially, to the kind of problem in Sri Lanka that has plagued this nation, lies in acknowledging the fact that there is a cause to the problem. This devide did not fall on us one fine day out of the blues. The politicians in this country, both tamil and sinhala have contributed to the conflict being started and then propogated.
British may have devided and ruled, but it was our own stupidity that pushed the country into the state of awe, which it is in now. However much I hate the British for invading our country, I hate them more for the way they left it. We did not achieve our freedom with sweat and blood. It was bestowed uopn us by the fact that they had to leave india. We did not embrace true patriotism in every sense of the word despite some handful instances of display, like puran appu. We were left high and dry when we were in a state of adoration of the english and not in a state of patriotism and that spoiled us.
then came the stupidity of the one language policy and the cancellation of citizenship of the tamil workers. That is because we lacked the true sense of patriotism in this country when we were given 'freedom'. Patriotism is the sense of pride and love for your nation and not for a particular race. It comes from the love for all people in that very country who shed their sweat and blood to bring the country to where it is at that given point in time. We made the mistake of ignoring the input to the development of Sl by the estate workers.
If we do not realize this very root of the problem, we will never be able to find a solution to this problem. However much we despise the LTTE terrorists for their insane demands and barbaric tactics, at the same time, we have to keep in mind of the grievences of the common tamil man who live just like the way a sinhala man lives. if we fail to acknowledge that basic fundamental, we will fail as a nation.
what we need now is not nationalism, but true pariotism.
and that patriotism will come from the love of the country and its people however big or small, or whatever the race may be.
LTTE has to be wiped off. there are no two words about that. they are terrorists who torment every sigle race in SL. But if we fail to acknowledge the cause that led the common tamil man to go up in arms against us we will be fighting forever. There has to be a political solution followed by the war.
Nice to see you SF and UVR...

BusyD aiya,
Good post brother. Good to have your kind of PATRIOTISM in this war torn country than having Anud kind of PATRIOTISM which is related to FALSE NATIONALISM which is as dangerous as TERRORISM we face today.
Anud,
I may not be writing often here in LNP but I read almost all the posts here. I did not just agree with SF in your case, it came as a result of long term obserbvation. Your posts are as not as RACIST like Thivya, but its more closer. You can get other LNP memebers opinion about that (even if you don't care).
Yes majority Sinhalese were not racists, but there was a significant number of Racists in both Tamil and Sinhala society. These racists showed their ugly face in the name of patriotism and nationalism during the anti Tamil riots.
But you seem to believe in that Tamil Racism gave birth to Sinhala Racism.
I labelled you as a Racist after a long observation of your presence here, may be I'm wrong. But clearly, your way of handling this delicate matter will worsen the situation further.
Yes you and I both have some knowledge about the past and we both know what WE ARE TALKING ABOUT. But your approach to solve the problem is the same we did in mid 80s, and it didn't work.
My objective here is to know more things about Sri Lanka and sometimes when I read some very stupid posts from some experts I sit down and confront them like I did with you.
That's what I do mainly here in LNP.
So have a very nice day Anud
BusyD gave a very good insight about the whole issue, try to read it and learn something from that. Don't promote RACISM in this wounded society.
