Vociferous western province minister and Jathika Hela Urumaya (JHU) legal advisor Udaya Gammanpila has thrown a fresh challenge to Tamil leaders who claim they have a right to self-determination.
Gammanpila is steadfast in his views that Tamils have no right to self-rule but are entitled only to minority rights recognised by the UN in Sri Lanka.
His contention is that the Tamils, who claim to have grievances, should prove with empirical evidence that would convince the Sinhala masses.

The Sinhalese did not take up weapons against the Tamils despite several terrorist attacks on the community since 1984, the Jathika Hela Urumaya (JHU) said at the Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission (LLRC).
JHU general secretary and Power and Energy Minister Patali Champika Ranawaka, along with party spokesperson and UPFA Western Provincial Council member Udaya Gammanpila, presented their submissions to the commission on January 5.

The Tamils originally started with 50-50 cry led by GG Ponnabalam and his clan in early 1940s. G.G.Ponnambalam`s 50-50 cry demanded that 50% of the legislator to be allocated to Sinhalese which comprised almost 80% of the population and the balance 50% to be allocated to the minorities which the major component was Tamils. However, he couldn`t neither convince Soulbury Commision nor had the support of the Muslim leaders. Then the Tamils brought the language issue when in 1956 Sinhala was made the official language.

His voice was heard, loud & clear!
Respect...!

May Soma Humuduruwo find the ever-lasting peace of Nibbana!

The Obama administration has shown its support for the expected division of Sudan into two countries. Tamils for Obama points out parallels between Sudan and Sri Lanka: a long-running ethnic and religious civil war that probably will last forever if the warring parties are not separated. They also note that the countries who will profit from a renewed Sri Lankan civil war (China, Pakistan, Iran) are not friends of either India or the US. TfO urges Obama to raise the subject of partitioning Sri Lanka with the Indian government while he visits New Delhi this weekend.

Opening of the new Kilinochchi Public Relations Office / Army-built Public Library as well as the newly-re-established Kilinochchi old Army Camp occurred Saturday (4) morning during a military ceremony, headed by Lieutenant General Jagath Jayasuriya, Commander of the Army.

This old camp, in reality functioned in the past using one of the administrative wings in the Kilinochchi General Hospital and the premises was accordingly vacated by the Army to suit the Government`s policy of releasing all military occupied public and private property to their lawful owners as peace has now dawned.

The first Cabinet meeting to be held in Kilinochchi was held at the security forces headquarters in Kilinochchi this morning.

Dear Mc Donkeys:

Here`s another piece of advice from lessons I learnt the hard way, alas too late. You see, we Tamil racists always held a superiority complex. Our arrogance blinded us. We bought into the myth that our arch enemy, the Singhalams every man, woman and child were idiots. Over the decades, we broadcast their stupidity and our superiority and invincibility. But we did not stop to ask a crucial question: if the Singhalams were so stupid, how come they survived for more than 2,000 years, despite our best efforts to make them history or absorb them? I made that mistake. And it proved deadly.

After a certain victory in the north, lovable General Denzil Kobbekaduwa came running and embraced him with fatherly affection. Before that the genial General shouted Yako Gota umba hari yakek ne (Gota you did it) He was the chosen one even then. Chosen one of the two most loved Generals of our times General Denzil Kobbekaduwa and Vijaya Wimalaratne.

Not only them, this battle hardened officer was loved by another no nonsense politician of our times, UNP minister of National Security, Ranjan Wijeratne. He did not want Gotabaya to leave the Army then. But, Ranjan knew that his hands were tied and it was no easy task to hold back officers like Gotabaya who had fought for the country for 20 long years. Though Ranjan wanted to end the war his leader at the time was not ready for it neither did they have a strategy to defeat the LTTE.

No Bull Sh!t...

Honestly, there was nothing shocking about Fonseka`s loss in the 2010 presidential elections. Ask a nationalist if Sarath Fonseka was any more instrumental in the defeat of the Tigers than Brigadier Shavendra Silva, and the answer is more than likely going to be `no`.

The Commander of the 58th division (formerly Task Force 1), Shavendra Silva, was instrumental in taking on the Tigers deep in their heartland. Troops under his command ran through Tamil Tiger strongholds, taking town after town, progressing quicker than most experts thought possible. The voter base Fonseka hoped to garner support from knew all too well the most minutest detail of how the war was won.
