The life sentence handed down yesterday in Canada on Desire Munyaneza for the war crimes he committed in Rwanda would, I am sure send a clear messages to many. After his killing spree, he went to Canada and sought political asylum and it was granted without any back ground checks. This is not a new phenomenon in Canada or in the west. Anyone who manages to reach their boarders and claims that he or she is being prosecuted in his or her country, because of their ethnicity or any other reason, those countries are happy to oblige. There are thousands and more who have either actively participated or have helped in various other ways in mass killings, genocides and other war crimes are still hiding behind in Canada and the West, milking their systems on the guise of seeking asylum. The mass rallies held, hungers strikes and havocs caused in those countries during the latter part of the three decade old war in Sri Lanka, where a democratically elected government was fighting a bu...

Boat loads of people are stranded in some parts of the world trying to reach countries which are economically prosperous. If the figures reported in some of the press are correct, the people now stranded in Indonesia have promised to pay or have already paid the smugglers in excess of two million American Dollars for the passenger of 250 people. This translates in to over a million Sri Lankan Rupees for each head, which is a very large sum of money for someone like me who is presently employed in the Gulf even. Looking at the pictures it is evident that the average family cluster on that boat is about four per family. I was wishing if I can raise that kind of money (Rupees 4 million), not to pay some slave trader but to start up something of my own back in Sri Lanka. Some may try to take political advantage on the predicament of those people still stranded on those boats. These people neither political nor economic asylum seekers but a bunch fools who always believe that th...

Ever since man decided that the only way to achieve a solution to a dispute between two of them is to take up arms, the rules of engagement have changed. They have evolved in a much slower pace that one would be able to keep abreast with it and be prepared for any eventuality. However, the 9/11 incident has changed the whole scenario. What is going on around in many parts of the world today are sufficient ample examples of the changes that have taken place in the rules of engagement. The conventional wisdom and the old school rules of engagement become lead weights, especially when a country where democracy prevails tries to fight off a terrorist outfit, threatening the stability of the country as well as in the region. The terrorists have only one objective and that is to terrorize and they would go to any extent to achieve their objective. Unless the democratically elected governments change their tactics and approach to the issue of how to deal with the terrorists, the hope of havi...

Where is ethnic cleansing? Written by a Sri Lankan, but the true author is unknown but the facts given below are 100% accurate. Hence, decided to publish this in my Blog, so the World can stumble on it and get the correct picture . Tamils – How many Tamils are employed in southern Sri Lankan companies? (See the number of high caliber Tamils in Sri Lankan banking sector, see hotel trade, film trade and other industries) Do they experience any hardship professionally due to ethnicity? If so, how come they hold such high positions? See how many Tamil kids are getting educated in International schools? They have outnumbered other ethnicities. Royal college has Tamil medium, DS has Tamil medium. So many Sinhala major government schools have Tamil medium and they share equal opportunities. How many Tamil major schools have Sinhala medium? Private schools like St. Thomas, Trinity etc have quite a large number of Tamil students. Travel to Wellawatte, Dematagoda, Deh...

This letter appeared in one of the Dailies in this regieon (Khaleej Times) today. Sri Lanka’s Pledge 22 September 2009 The world Tamil community and human rights groups are suspicious of the new Sri Lankan pledge to resettle about 280,000 civilians with over 60,000 children within this year, citing that this could be another attempt by the authorities to satisfy IMF loan conditions and European Union. The notable difference between the Swat Valley relocation and the Sri Lankan crisis is the level of participation of international organisations which have expertise on the projects of similar nature. In Sri Lanka, the conduct of war and the incidents following the war were carried out in complete media blackout, and aid agencies were expelled. The areas from where the civilians were herded during the two-year war is said to be going through a major change, demographically. 
 In Kilinochchi district 
 alone, the buildings of cultural importance to Tamils have been demolished and replace...

The Tamil National Alliance (TNA) securing a majority in the Vauniya district election is a worrying sign. The TNA was the LTTE terrorist’s puppet and pseudo democratic voice in the past and even after the terrorists were defeated completely, why and how they managed to secure the majority is something the authorities have to dig in and find out soon. The authorities will also have to keep a very close eye on their (Tigers in sheep’s cloths) activities from now on or they will again try to take us back 30 more years. The ruling alliance’s win in the Jaffna district was something that was expected, after all what the present government did to liberate the peace loving Tamils from the terrorist’s dictatorial fist. Some pro terrorist commentators were trying to link this magnificent win in Jaffna to the recent lifting of fishing ban in the north and east as the main livelihood in Jaffna, according to them was fishing. The terrorist for sure and perhaps some of those commentator...

Getting the self appointed LTTE leader, Selvarajah Pathmanathan also known as KP by the Sri Lankan authorities in Malaysia is a great achievement and this would be the last nail on the Eelam coffin. This also proves another important point that the peace loving international community is still behind the democratically elected Sri Lankan government. Until the biggest murderer was killed, many in the Diaspora, languishing comfortably in many developed countries supported the idea of achieving Eelam only by military means and the following day many have changed their tune and prefer to enter the democratic means. KP , a man with blood on his hand is one of them. Unfortunately this opportunity was given to them many times in the past by many Sri Lankan governments but all what they did was go back on their words and restored to military option. I am sure getting KP in a foreign land by the Sri Lankan authorities would send a loud and clear message to those who are languishing i...
