Tamils are south indian migrants.sinhalese have 2500 years written history & 30,000 years unwritten history in sri lanka.we were decendants of great king ravana.we were called yakka & naga. when king wijaya came to sri lanka, we had 2-3 million population.even veddhas are part of our nation.
how can you idiots claim homeland here. prabakaran's father was born in malaysia. his mother was from jaffna.But her great grand parents are indian.praba has foriegn origin parents.tamils are not sri lankan originated nation.they were indian originated nation.king wijaya came with 50 men to SL.But he became our king becas he married our queen kuveni.later most of our kings were indian origin.But we were here all the time. |

Avoid another resolution, urge Elders
A group of world leaders formed by Nelson Mandela has urged Sri Lanka to try and avoid another showdown in the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) by adhering to the recent resolution adopted by the body.
Former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Mary Robinson told BBC Sandeshaya that The Elders are very pleased that UNHRC adopted a resolution urging Sri Lanka to ensure a proper reconciliation process after decades of a brutal conflict.
Saying that the 'quite mild resolution' was not a Western sponsored one, Ms Robinson insisted that it was not an attempt to 'do down a country.'
'We were particularly encouraged that large countries like India and Nigeria supported the resolution'.
Accountability
The resolution adopted by majority vote last week in Geneva called on Sri Lanka government to implement the recommendations of Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission (LLRC).
The former Irish president said The Elders also support the UN call for a proper accountability process.
'The scale of the violations alleged is really very grave by international human rights standards,' added Ms Robinson.
It is advisable for Sri Lanka, she said, to adhere to the resolution in order not to 'come under the radars of UNHRC once again next year,' stressing that it is the responsibility of the government of any country to protect civilians, though LTTE is also responsible for gross human rights violations.
'It is in the interest of Sri Lanka to accept that the majority of governments feel that Sri Lanka must do more for reconciliation,' said Ms Robinson.
Mary Robinson admitted that not only many countries that supported the resolution, India and United States among them, supported Sri Lanka government's war against the LTTE, but also provided Sri Lanka with arms.
'The elders are unequivocally worried about the extent of the arms race. Generally the supply of weapons that are causing such destructions the money that spent on weapons, the trafficking in weapons,'she said.
'The elders do feel strongly about these issues but the central factor here was the prolonged civil war and to the extent which civilians were not protected.'
LOL !
Another UNHRC Resolution against Sinhala lanka will be very harsh & a Big SLap on their faces...
Military regime days are numbered..!

Two Sri Lankan TV stations based in Italy speak of inefficient HOPELESS embassies in some European countries.
When Sri Lankan migrant workers enter some of these embassies for their problems or for advice, they are treated like animals.
These embassy staff must be thinking that they are on 'holidays' in Europe.
........................................................
But the real and durable solution is not closing down of these 'unworthy embassies' but to recall inefficient, hopeless Ambassadors & the staff of such embassies.

It was Elders who first warned Sinhala lanka abt the first debacle in Geneva. Now the second warning comes so soon after the voting indicates Sinhala lankans are NEVER trusted by civilized world !

I have also noticed that Canadian Embassy in Colombo has more Tamil employees. Even former SL consulate in Toronto was a Tamil guy. I believe the reason is more SL Tamils live in Canada than Sinhalese. |
