USA to conduct joint exercise with genocidal Air Force of Sri Lanka
[TamilNet, Saturday, 20 August 2011, 05:44 GMT]
The Pacific Air Command of the US Air Force will be conducting a joint air exercise with the Air Force of Sri Lanka, involving the bases at Ratmalana in Colombo and Ampaa`rai in the Eastern Province, media reports from Colombo said. Royal Australian Air Force, Royal Malaysian Air Force, and the Bangladesh Air Force also will participate in the exercise. The Air Force of Sri Lanka is accused of specific instances of war crimes against Eezham Tamils in the UN panel report. While talk of human rights and crimes against humanity is dubiously manipulated by some powers for their political benefits, their defence establishments and intelligence agencies are all out to promote militarism of genocidal Sri Lanka for their strategic benefits, political analysts in the island said.

Tamil Nadu should enlighten peoples of India on the need to integrate the struggle of Eezham Tamils
Tuesday, 23 August 2011 - 1:18 AM SL Time

[TamilNet, Monday, 22 August 2011, 05:02 GMT]
Military forces across South Asia are flexing their commercial muscles to create ventures that rival private firms and threaten to militarise civil society, says a New Zealand Herald article, Saturday. In Pakistan, Bangladesh, India and Sri Lanka, defence chiefs have interests in everything from airlines to sugar factories, banks to bakeries, from power plants to ports. Investments worth billions of dollars are controlled by a military elite that is eclipsing civilian bureaucracies and, in some cases, corrupting the services, the article by Rahul Bedi said. TamilNet commentator responded by saying that as militaries in South Asia don`t hesitate now to commit even genocide to protect corrupt states, the current anti-corruption uprising in India needs to be more inclusive and [Tamil Nadu should enlighten peoples of India on the need to integrate the struggle of Eezham Tamils] with it.

The Rajya Sabha saw a brief ruckus Wednesday as members clashed on whether to take up a discussion on Sri Lankan Tamils or corruption, with the latter winning the duel.
Both discussions were slated in the list of business. While the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) members wanted to take up the debate on corruption, the Left, DMK and AIADMK members, as well as some others, wanted the issue of Sri Lankan Tamils to be taken up first.
After a brief adjournment of 15 minutes, it was decided that the house will take up debate on corruption first, leading to a walkout by the DMK.

On Thursday the British High Court will hear claims of torture and brutality perpetrated by British staff on Kenyan Mau Mau rebels in the 1950s.

The case was first brought to court by victims two years ago, when the British government argued that it had no jurisdiction to hear the case. The court disagreed. Now the UK Foreign Office contends there is no case to answer because it has no liability.

Blake will draw blank if truth not recognized
[TamilNet, Monday, 29 August 2011, 01:57 GMT]
The US Asst Secretary of State Robert Blake visits Sri Lanka this week, following Indian Foreign Minister Krishna telling the Parliament that what bothered the island for the last three decades was nothing but `terrorism` and the solution confines to material `rehabilitation` of Tamils and political `build up` of the defunct 13th Amendment. Blake spoke to diaspora groups in the US before his visit. The engagement of India and the USA with the island is meaningless if it is not based on the recognition of the truth that the issue in the island is a national question, the war waged there had chronic genocidal intentions on the part of the Sri Lankan State and the military that now occupies the country of Eezham Tamils is in actuality not a State military of international norms but a genocidal Sinhala military, writes TamilNet political commentator in Colombo.
