Interview with Senaka Walgampaya /* Sri Lanka*/

[murali2011]

Diplomat says they would allow SBS into the concentration camps with free movement. A Dream come true???

These diplomats have lied at a record breaking level of the history of this planet.

[drtissera]

Tamils of Srilanka fought for privileges lost , while they were licking british asses.

Most who funded terrorism , obtained free education from Srilankan government.

Eradicating terrorism , is a tough job.

tamils were never ver treated the way Aussies

treated Aborigines.

[jeevesS30]

umm so let me get this straight.. a government is equal to god and should not be questioned when people believe that something wrong is happening??? I love this video because its show how lost for words Senaka Walgampaya was..

[GreatSriLankan]

Mr. Dateline. If you are asking for a visa to Sri Lanka you need a proof that you are leaving sri lanka at the end of your course. Phiraphaharan's (LTTE Leader - If anyone has forgotton) father came to Sri Lanka from Malaysia & never left the country. That s why we had to go through all these nonsense for the past 30 years.

[jeevesS30]

lol umm Date line is an independent show in Australia.. i am sure they are not coming into Sri Lanka to start another war. Its not just Date Line their is no freedom of media in Sri Lanka!

[truthlanka]

I really dont understand how these media groups swing from one side to another. First they called the ltte freedom fighter, sole reps of the tamils and the government was genociding the tamils, now these media ppl say no one is agueing that the ltte are an attrocious group!

There is no ethnic group called non-tamils in SL. Pls be informed of true facts before interviewing. And the gov was not against the tamils it was against the ltte as the ambassidor rightly pointed out.

[SuperUrizen]

Well, I remember those days when our present president Mahinda called the JVP 'freedom fighters' (when they were engaged in killing sinhalese civilians and other members of authority in hope of anarchy). But most people wh were traumatized and lost relatives to the JVP killings knew what they were: a local terrorist group doing the job for the LTTE. Why did Mahinda called them 'freedom-fighters' back then in 1989? You should also focus on the motivation behind that terminology by the president.

[ogNewyork]

Bullshit Mr Datelinewhat you said? war between Tamils and non tamils? 85% of sri lankans you called non Tamils? You dont know who are they? And you dont know war was with tigers not with tamils. is People in Australia called Aborigines and Non aborigines arrogant freak?

[rhoghost]

yea 85%of sri lankans are not tamils.

[jeevesS30]

well seeing as the Aborigines were the native people of australia.. and the tamils weren't it just shows that you don't know what your talking about. He wasn't trying to start a fight or anything.. unlike you.. Date line is a independent show that looks at work issues.. just because Senaka Walgampaya was lost for words doesn't mean the interviewer was doing anything wrong .. he was doing his job..

[ogNewyork]

We got the same problems you guys having doesnt matter Sinhala or Tamil you get arrested or get killed in funny sri lankan democracy. Tamils are wrong dont accept that fact. 60000 sinhala youths killed in 1989. If you need freedom fight together with Sinhala moderate people to win that. Then we all win it. typical white guy fight for Tamil people by heart? Are you guys mad? End of the day they laugh at our curry smell behind our back. Doesnt matter Tamil or Sinhala.

[jeevesS30]

No Tamils are not wrong.. The LTTE may be wrong but its ignorant to think that they speak of all tamils.. I can say that they have made mistakes so dont go making presumptions. You think that that the LTTE did wrong how abt the army in uniform???

[ogNewyork]

I know very well what I am talking about. You dont understand my point or dont want to. I am not compeering aborigines and Tamils you talking out of the context. Dateline moderator is trying to be a big shot front of the brown skinned man. You might like it been a Tamil licking any trash who act like support your agenda but they will give you nothing but just made their money using you.

[jeevesS30]

WHen i was little we had to move towns cause my great grandfather refused to leave when we came back we found his flesh cut up in a jar... the army made our next door neighbor watch so dont tell me how i should feel... they wear the country's uniform!

[ogNewyork]

I am not agreeing with everything so called our king do in our country but Tamil Diasporas collective act is wrong. Going after west to beg your freedom? Join hand with moderate Sinhala people to fight win Tamil freedom get better result than liking white trash.

[buddhikaonline]

Well said Mr. Walgampaya. Good on ya!

[ghamith]

When catherina harcan hit usa they couldnt deal with it instantly.still people haven t got proper homes and it took a while to settle them with their needs.we have finished the war last week so it will take some time to screen them ,demine their area s so that they resume their living happly ever after. these are facts.

[ghamith]

This white iditot cannot understand the fact that LTTE WANTED TO BE ANSWERED WITH GUNS. he said " nobody is aurguing the fact that LTTE is ruthluess group."So it should be deal with militaraly.Not by talking and there is no need the media people to go there while there wasa fighting going on.They will misinformed like chaannel4, bbc to hit the head lines.

[sameeratm]

how long does it takes Australia to evaluate 10 people in Christmas island..... well, you might be surprised , the tamil displaced people, all 276,000 of them won't take that long!

[sameeratm]

hey Mr. dateline idiot, do you think because of you think you are high and mighty that we should let you visit anywhere in our country whenever you want to with a crew and a Tv camera! does your own govt allow you to go to Christmas island?

[loly1969]

its wrong to ask for half of the country

[ogNewyork]

After world trade center attack in New York no body allowed entering world trade center site for years. Because its a national security matter of USA. This is National Security issue of Sri Lanka. WHY WE SHOULD ALLOW ANY ONE? Because of you guys have white skin? We brown? We have rights to decide who in who out in our motherland same like yours Sir

[Tgrassie]

that have been kidnapped and toture with no investigation...

Tamils is the second highest kiddnapped and abduction by white van without one INVESTIGATION !!!

[RosalieHendricks]

Mr. Walgampaya, You should have told this man if United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon could visit Menik Farm Internally Displaced Persons Camp in Vavuniya and spoke to several displaced civilians, verifying their welfare. Who this man wants to visit empty hands just for filming, then what. He talks war crimes of Srl Lankan forces, this was war against LTTE terrorists group and not with Tamils.

[shawn2384]

LTTE is a sole representative of Tamil ...u idiot

[ATrueSriLankan]

Now there is a competent high commissioner for a change.

[debaron1108]

yep you can come as long as your promise to reports your finding with evidence and not just by here say or some one saying my son went missing on cam.

[yamanoj]

good one.

[hiranak]

what a about killing so many civilians in Iraq ... newer seen UN there??

[Tgrassie]

at least there were Wittness for Reporters and INternational Journalist and International Media was there...

Not sure why Sri Lanka blocked all that

[hiranak]

to be honest media was controlled by them, the media works just like the media in Sri Lanka, eg. Derana. all sri lankan media companies where given access....

the international media should newer be given access. They don't give monkeys about sl or the tamils. all they care about is giving out a good story. This is a internal issue, it should be solved internally, this is our future not there's.

[Tgrassie]

your a perfect person to be blind by the SINHALA EXTREMIST GENOCIDE !!!!

NO ONE SHOULD BE ACCESS but the SInhala ??? what if it's ethnic issue then it's still Sinhala to be only acess...

Did You know Sri Lanka is the only country in the world that banned international journalist and media...

Don't be a fool. OPEN YOUR EYES !! oh wait more like u don't care !!!!

[hiranak]

listen mr.ltte. you have been blinded pretty much from your own lies, in the recent past, the diaspora have pretty much made its own history of sri lanka in order to fool them self.

There is no freedom of media in any country, incl UK and US. they restrict more than anyone if you don't know. you wouldn't know what you shouldn't know because the international is theirs pretty much.

[shawn2384]

did you see the way media asked the question and the way Senaka answered the question that shows the whole world how bullshit srilankan government .

this is so pathetic and i wish i don't bumped into this guy again.

i will just slap this idiot.

[hiranak]

Tamils have more rights in SL than any other country, you think white people are not racist against you.

you probably haven't even been to sri lanka, thinking about the lies your uncle is saying. Sri Lanka is one country, it has always been and always will be.

There are more than 60% of the tamils living in the south with the sinhalese, how the hell can there be a genocide. do you know the meaning of genocide?

[shawn2384]

u just don't know what the fuck u are talking about

.

[iKR4SL]

Did the LTTE invite international journalists when it bombed the life out of people. This is a real war not a Hollywood film. You want International media circus so it can save the sorry asses of Prabhakaran and rest of the barbaric terrorists. Like all the NGO's help buy weapons you want to fill it with those international idiots so those sorry ass Tigers find a escape route. Well SL government is not going to fall for that not until it hit the last nail on the Tiger coffin. Bye Bye Ealam!

[SuperUrizen]

Yet even after the war is finished and Prabha is dead, the restrictions are still there! 2 Canadian MP's were denied Visa (Bob Rae was sent back) in a typically arrogant gesture which has now become a trademark of Mahinda's Government. Why? What the hell are those 2 going to do--revive the LTTE? Why all this secrecy?

[wenura]

of all High Commissioners i have seen so far SL High Commissioner in Australia seems to be the only one with a diplomatic attitude.

[Tgrassie]

lol

[adventurekalu]

at last no more fucking tamil refugees who disturb the wite peoples life by protesting not working and eating from white people
