Frost over the World - Rohitha Bogollagama: Sri Lankan Foreign Minister - 6 Feb 09 -Part 2

[FreshPrinceofcolombo]

We are first sri lankan before we are Sinhalese or Tamil, so all tamil idiots better shut the fuck up and start living properly in sri lanka or go back to india where you originally came from. These dumb tamils living abroad and protesting dont know what Sri lanka is even like on the ground. My best friend in high school was tamil, like him there are millions of tamils living all over sri lanka peacefully with the sinhalese, sure they may be discriminated sometimes but what minority isnt?

[barath1976]

Sri Lanka is a failed state. It is killing its own people. So far 50000 Tamils have been killed by Sri Lankan military in just 2 months.

[makkalpadai]

own pple?..u mean bus-bombers?

[lordjcis]

Mr Suren... all the bogus news about Sri lankan govt. bombing hospitals were proven false and lies... now that clarified out of your arguement there is nothing else credible in your allegations against the Sri Lankan Govt. You should be ashamed of your self for speaking behalf of terrorism, and trying to take a seperate state out of a country that does not belong to you in the first place... it's like chines going and fighting for a separate state in Australia !!!

[emal7310]

Lets not forget, this was started by the colonial British as part of their exit strategy and I'm sure they will thank the LTTE diaspora in kind. Senior LTTE leaders ensured their own families were well looked after, their children were well educated and they managed to siphon millions to private accounts around the world - How has this helped the millions of poor tamils in SL? Now the remaining LTTE leaders are fighting to take control of what assets remain, maybe they need a second home for jnr

[indogitrust]

There are only good Sri Lankans and bad Sri Lankans. It is time to change the national flag and remove the two stripes of green and orange which seperates the minorities from the majority.

[CoolDojo9000]

Suren is full of it.

The fact is, as reported by independent media, Tamil Tigers held hostage many civilians and killed any who tried to escape. As the Tamil civilians have reported.

[jahaanz]

tamil go fuck ur mother as..hole

sri lanka mr rajapsksha the best...

[SuperUrizen]

Very intelligent reply. Jeez, are these kind of people we have here in Sri Lanka? Tone down your childish rhetoric, try to say something productive once in a while.

[kgruban]

i do agree.i am sorry i had to say what i commted abot privious person comment

[shamendrasen]

you are good for the history class hahaha

[shawn2384]

Well done Mr Suren.

[shawn2384]

so y don't u let the media in ????

[powerindi]

you are one of the biggest terrorist of all time....

[beogradwill]

The LTTE are terrorists and the Tamils themselves have suffered because of these fanatical terrorists. It is time for the world to allow Sri Lanka's legitimate forces to crush them once and for all. The world should have kept out of the Yugoslav conflict too. It was nobody's business but the people of the Balkans. And the media lies against Serbia were a disgrace. This time there is no oil pipeline for western fat cats at stake so the anti-Sinalese hysteria is not as the anti-Serb hysteria was.

[tamildeztiny]

well said broo!!

[ferdycontract]

Here the person representing the tamil diaspora is very critical about the unilateral withdrawal by the srilankan government from the agreement. Why doesn't he halk about the tigers breaching the agreement an uncountable number of times

[deshira84]

Keep saying you's self that Mr. Suren. I feel sorry for all you LTTE supporters. Sri Lanka will never be divided. The Sinhalese have finally awaken. Finally You would have to settle for the Unitary nation of Sri Lnaka where all the nationalities live peacefully.

[selv0020]

Stop day dreaming Rohitha Bogollagama there is no end to this war.....

[lanka23]

end is near for the ltte

[HowlingCalhoun]

The War has ended friend.

[ponnapille]

aioooo GADHAPI,

aioooo NAAGESH

ammoo DURGHAA

engaaa VIDUSHAA

kadaulee BAHNUU

[mitheshe]

man haha u tigers are crazy with all that heart talk. well im tellin you theres no room for an Ilam in my counrty

[ferdycontract]

Where ever Tamils live, their common and stupid logic about justifying their so-called liberation fight is "suppresion". Nothing else to say

[USrith]

Dear Minister, Don't day dream, this is not war, liberation of mother land

[ZeroWolf1985]

Please don't blame us sinhalese for this war--not EVERBODY asked for it, you know. The reson nobody is speaking out against it now is that if you do, you get abducted or killed by the state.

The main party responsible for this war is the Buddhist Clergy of Sri Lanka. Instead of preaching Buddha's ethic of peace & understanding, they are now crying for blood in temples! LOL!

[SINGALAMOODYA]

security forces within the North and East have further created communal tensions among the Tamil people The mistrust in the Sinhala armed forces and the perceived discrimination faced by the Tamil population lead the Tamil people to believe that only Eelam could provide safety and came to believe that their very survival was possible only through formation of a separate Tamil state

[SINGALAMOODYA]

Tamil civilians were killed in 1983 anti-Tamil riot killed 3,000 The call for Tamil Eelam increased as a result of these communal violence against the Tamil minority perpetrated by the Sinhalese majority Furthermore, allegations of state terrorism and genocide by the Sri Lankan government have led to solidification of demand for separate state for minority Tamils To add to the Tamil people's separatist sentiments, acts of mass violence, rape, extrajudicial executions,

[marctube84]

Mr Suren... as u mentioned in ur statement (pass 9min n 30 sec to 10.10) if the liberation is not about owning lands why LTTE rejects the peace talks and demand for the Eelam. LTTE will never consider people's hearts and minds... its one of the facts that all sri lankans (Tamils,Sinhalese,Muslims,Mala­ys etc) know.

[DJRANGE75]

go srilanka.............

[tamildeztiny]

lttp`s murderko-run holding guns to innocent bodies (srilanka) Tamil people around the world needs our voices to be heard (someone please listen). i would do the same for you if it happened to you or your people. The lttp-terrorist are conductiong a mass genocide on the tamil people in sri lanka. our people are your people your people are my people. my hommies stand by me and help stop the genocide by lttp, please

[yohanml]

Mr Suren. be a human not a terrorist. you personaly know how freely and happily tamils are living with sinhalese in cities like Colombo. You are just supporting a huge terrorism organisation. you are not fighting for tamils people. you just want to help your terrorist minds so that your family can be more richer. you are not supporting innocent tamils but for your own purse. tamils are more than happy to be with sinhalese in cities like colombo than getting kidnapped by LTTE for terrorism.

[ZeroWolf1985]

well, we are not that different from the terrorists either. we are being brainwashed into thinking that this is some kind of 'Holy War' by the insane Buddhist clergy, so that now every Sri Lankan thinks that this war will be the answer to all problems. Many innocent Tamil civilians are dying, that's why we are 'winning' this war; no other president went forward with it because of that same reason, but Mahinda doesn't care about those casualties and he has kept third-party jornalists out .

[HowlingCalhoun]

I agree with u, well said. Very well said.

[rkguruparan]

he says that there will be a political process but then to frost's question about what a solution would be like he says there is no problem between the tamils and sinhalese and that this is a terrorist problem. then there is for the sake of it a reference to the 13th amendment. thats very clear. Nothing more than the 13th amendment.

[Tamilonthestreet]

The Tigers are screaming for a cease-fire. Every ceasefire that occurred in the past 25 years was used as an opportunity to re-arm and re-fit, before the Tigers ended it with a new offensive. The Sri Lankan government can be forgiven for preferring surrender to a cease-fire. Wars are terrible things, and it is best that they be ended not be prolonged. The Sri Lankan Civil War, after over 70,000 dead and 25 years of ruin and expense, is finally coming to an end. Let it end.

[seruwan]

Who are the LTTE?

Originally most of the LTTE members are Tamils who was affected by discrimination. When someone's family members got killed or raped, out of anger they joined LTTE. The best way to eliminate the LTTE is to give the people a chance to live in peace. When we kill and rape innocent people, the LTTE will grow. Don't believe the politicians who spread hate. They want to divide us so they can rule.

[DJRANGE75]

fuck ltte.........tamil motherfuckers cant win now!!!!!!!!!!! go and lick ur prabakaran

[lankayoga]

Its time that the tamil people allow peace and hope for all those innocent tamils in Sri Lanka. Let the war stop.

most Tamils around world want the war to go on cause their refugee status will become nulll and void. Dont be selfish.

[madhubran]

Lankayoga so you have seen the enormous support LTTE has overseas!! Did you see the protest infront of UN building in Geneva.?.....So the only lame explanation you could offer is "for regugee status". FYI...Since there is an ongoing war almost all overseas Tamils have become permanant residents of respective countries they are in.  It seems you can't possibly comprehend that people might have sincere dream of having our own nation. You have to have heart to understand other people's feelings

[madhubran]

The current Sri Lankan defence secretary is the most racist person to ever to hold this positon!!! His outrageously bigoted statements regarding Tamils and the media freedom speak for themselves!!!

[madhubran]

"our success story will become the model for countering terrorism in other democratic countries"......I have never heard anything more insane in my lfe...does the foreign minister really know the meaning of DEMOCRACY?????? "zero tolerance for civilian casualty" .......does anything that he says have anyo sort of factual base?????

[ponnapille]

Making a statement in the Lok Sabha, External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee said the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) would "best serve the interest of the Tamils by immediately releasing all civilians (under its control) and laying down arms".

Pointing out that the LTTE was an outlawed group in India, the minister added that it "has done much damage to the Tamil community

[DntLie2us]

If peace is acheived by defeating the Tamil Tigers. Many refugee cases will become null and void. and refugees will be asked to return to Sri Lanka.

So welcome back!

[sac91]

wow, tamil leadership ? So you guys think murdering maniacs as your leaders ? WOW ! that is kind of f*cked up !

[lankaNo1]

LTTE is finished,over. PEELAM is finished ,over.suicide bombers LTTE is destroyed,,,thank you SLA ,thank you King Mahinda

[EelamTamilsVoice]

*What's to be done about the Sri Lankan conflict?

The best hope is the United Nations. The Commonwealth has an Indian secretary general, Kamalesh Sharma, and the regional grouping of south-east Asian states, Asian, will rally round Sri Lanka. It would be difficult for Sinhala President Rajapaksa to reject a mission by UN secretary general, Ban Ki-moon.

[SriLankaCanada]

This Suren f**ker is an idiot just like other LTTE pundeyas

[EelamTamilsVoice]

*Why did he reject a UK envoy?

The decision to appoint Des Browne was a gift from a former colonial power which failed to properly prepare his mission. The Sri Lankan government can now criticise Britain at a time when it has nothing to gain from allowing in a British envoy.

[EelamTamilsVoice]

*What's the government endgame?

Unlike his predecessor, Sinhala President Rajapaksa is an arch Sinhalese nationalist who talks about the "final elimination of terror" from the northeast but appears to be bent on crushing the Tamil community as a whole.

[eranjenes]

man, this tamil fucker subramanyam or whatever who spoke after Rohitha Bogollagama is a terrorist. i ve seen him speaking at another occasion he twists govt's statements to LTTE's advantage. thats his job. govt mentioned "since theres a no warzone, govt cant take the responsibility of tamils out of that warzone". thats reasonable isnt it? but this motherfucker didnt tell that bit. he said "govt cant take the responsibility of ppl inthe uncleared area". fuck u. go to hell. nature punishes u.

[rexrexrex1970]

all what tamils got out of this war for 30 is they lost what ever the opportunities and credibility they had. TOO bad for beliving in a bunch of podians to fight a mighty race.

[EelamTamilsVoice]

Rohitha Bogollagama is behind white van kidnappings injustice killings of Tamils with a special squad of sinhala army

[blastpost]

damn the BTF guy is getting a heavy beating from Sir David...lol

[raydawg325]

cant wait till these LTTE vermin are exterminated off the Island, I can finally go can get some Jaffna mangos in peace

[madhawa4ever]

LTTP loser .

[yasirusl]

Tamils who demand a separate state in Sri Lanka need to be hit on the head with a brick and reminded that the tamils of the world already have their own separate state in tamilnadu, india. It has 60 million of tamils, 3 times the total population of Sri Lanka. Why should Sri Lanka grant a piece of land to a 10% minority group who already have a state to call home? Tamils who identify themselves as Sri Lankans are free to live in SL among others. The rest should fuck off to stinking Tamilnadu.

[ramesh10008]

yasirusi,sri lankas tamil population according to u is 10%.do u know what was the tamil population in srilanka 15,30,10, 100 years back.when i was in sri lanka about 20 yrs back ,the tamil population in sri lanka was 25% around 1940's it was around 40%.and we can imagine how it could be 100 years back.

[yasirusl]

Ha ha! "Tamil population 40% back in 1940's!"- In your dreams! Show us the source - please don't tell us you just think it is so or that someone told you - or that it is "generally accepted by the Tamil community"

"We can imagine how it could be 100 years back" - yeah fucking right. As if Ceylon was then 110% tamil, and then Sinhalese invaded YOUR country!

You should go back to Tamilnadu, where you could live peacefully with their 100% tamil population.

[TAMiiLSouLjA]

yes i want to be a real tamil, not like u pussy-lot who ran away leaving our dead heros cemeteries to sl-army, & ran away surrendering our capital to sinhala kids, i want to be a real tamil like our leader murderko-run, so i can send my kids to UK, and u r kids to a bunker,

i want to be a real tamil and blow my self up killing more pusy tamils like u, according to lttp only real tamil can kill fellow tamils by suicide bombing!

walka..waaaaalka real tamils!..lol

[yasirusl]

Tamil Tigers and their supporters have always been of the opinion that the entire world owes them a favour. That is one reason the Tamil asylum seekers plunder the wealth of Europe by creating fake credit cards and engaging in credit card scams to finacially support tamil terrorists. All those moeny robbed from European banking system ends up with the tamil terrorists. This is the tamils' way of saying "Thank You" to the people who granted them asylum in their countries.

[SLworrier]

Suresh Kumar, You fucker will be never accepted in sri lanka. Your dream is over, talking about human rights while killing innocents. Do not try to show the world that LTTE is working for tamils. What have they done all these years building bankers, gathering arms and sending kids to blow themselves. You loosers do not talk about our country. there is no need of seperate state. We that normal tamils love to live with sinhalese, you are the ones who spoil their mind. Fuck you

[xpname]

TAMILS for TAMIL EELAM

WE love LTTE

THEY will WIN for SURE

[sdilruk]

It's so clear Sri Lankan Foreign Minister's pointing outs. It has a base. But the Tamil Form Editor is talking baseless. Sri Lankan Air Force bombing to terrorist's targets. Sri Lankan Army is working with responsibility and they are not terrorists. All Sri Lnakans need to wipe out terrorism from Sri Lanka. Ltte is killing many civilians including their own Tamils if they are not accepting ltte's terrorism. LTTE has no responsibility as they are terrorists.

[vettaikkaran]

you guys have no life

[Veerapuran]

Who is this fucker talking about Sri Lanka bombing their country. Only yesterday one LTTE fart exploded in the midst of Tamil People. Thousands were killed during last 3 decades.

This sucker is not even deserve this interview. Its pathetic, he doesn't even answer the questions asked. Obviously there are no answers. No base to stand for these Tigers. Shame on you. May you be buried forever ...

[Joblanka]

At least 28 people including 8 civilians were killed and 64 others including 40 civilians reported injured when an LTTE woman suicide bomber blew herself at an IDP rescue centre, North of Visuamadu in Mullaittivu this morning (Feb 9) at around 11.30 a.m. 3 woman soldiers were also among the military fatalities reported.
