Subra Massey (4) I must say I like your final dream – a Sri Lankan family of Sinhala, Tamils, Muslims, Burghers and others. I also congratulate you on your rise from the bottom as a Valet in France (based on what you write in the LTTE blog) But, forgive me, Sir, your name is somewhat unusual for a Tamil. It sounds almost like the Umbalakade from the Maldives. I have no grudges against the LTTE except I am deeply grieved outstanding Tamils like Amir, Yoges, Neelan, Kethees, Rajini were brutally done to death.
There certainly were other options to deal with them if you
disagree with their politics – but to kill them in the fashion they were done away with runs totally against Tamil culture. Tamils throughout the land here and abroad stood condemned for these ghastly murders….I agree with you those who rob Sri Lanka’s assets and stash them away in foreign lands must be eventually caught – with the help of the Police in their countries – and
the loot confiscated. This is now becoming a habit here and the Sinhalese too are very upset about this……Those in uniform who commit crimes of an inhuman nature – in excess and outside their official roles – should naturally be asked to own up. More so their political C-in-C’s so these barbaric HR excesses never feature
in Lankan life in the future. If you gave me the choice of the 2 options you suggest (Somalia or Singapore?) for a future Sri Lanka I would rather chose Singapore naturally. Here’s to the success of your dream – our dream – perhaps is more appropriate.

Suresh,
We will absorb every army fellow in Jaffna. The army in the field is a false objective and perspective. We should feed every guy and get them on to our side.The shortest route to a man’s heart is through his stomach. We will bounce back. We are already bouncing back around the world. We are already squeezing the neck of Sri Lanka and make them obey International laws. Guaranteed. Some of them if they leave Sri Lanka may get arrested! Things are being cooked up to put some of them behind bars. When we suceed in puttting the first thug behind bars they will begin to fall in line.

Jaffna would be one of the region highest military present per capita in the world!. For every ten Tamil civilian, one occupying Sinhala Army on their door step. In other word for every family there are two to three occupying Sinhala Army on their doorstep.

Often, the Sinhala army would close the main roads ( i.e. KKS, Palaly Road) for more than three hour to transport their men and materials to the front line. Even once the war is over, the psychological scar that the occupying Sinhala Army is inflicting upon the innocent Jaffna Tamils will be long lasting. Still Jaffna Tamils have not gotten over with the bad memories of Indian Armys’ ‘�peace keeping’ activities.

Generally, we, Jaffna Tamils are resilient, and we will bounce back. We have seen Portuguese rule that forcefully converted the whole population to Catholicism , Dutch, English, and now Sinhalese who is trying hard to wipe our identity from the Island.

Time will tell that we will survive, and thrive

If one were to take each of the schools occupied and houses not released to the owners in “High Security Zone” in Jaffna as a violation of the Ceasefire Agreement signed in 2002, the government has committed more ceasefire violations than the LTTE.

Closure of A9 and occupying schools and houses in Jaffna is an act of “Collective Punishment” on Tamils. It is not a security necessity.

No country ever benefited from the restrcitons place on ordinary people. Jaffna People just hang in there! We know you can do it. In the name of survival prudence is the only choice. Just do farming and educate your children. Remember there are no super powers greater than super minds of ordinary people. US,EU,China, India are just big countries they don’t have great minds. We have to break the enemy down at his mind level. Remeber the mind can absorb only so much injustice. Injustice is a poison that will paralyses the enemy’s mind. Go to http://www.Srilankaunite.com. We are working on massive project to make SriLanka a just country. Just -Justice you got it. no nonsence a just society.
