mate dont be a terrorist sympathy. Sri lanka is the only ONLY country to completely wiped a terrorist group.
Now countries like USA and UK are quiet jealous of srilanka. I can make one thing clear to those who are still in Iraq ...LEARN FROM SRI LANKAN ARMY !!
Tamils started it by killing innocent villagers in Trincomalee. SO What do you expect from Sinhaleese. Go and meditate until Prbhakaran Kill 17 million Sinhaleese. I would not agree with what happened but it is sad but you started it.,
@XDdanOne trust me i have heard stories from both sides of the coin
and again, let me stress that every story does contain a bias unless it comes from a neutral party... you sound like you are not a third party
after having reviewed all the events that have taken place in sri lanka, i can strongly say that it is best for sri lanka to be united as one country... a seperate state is not viable
One more thing...before talking about the dreamland (mythical Tamil homeland) just keep in mind that the Tamils came here to NE as farm hands for Dutch Tobacco plantations.
All of Sri Lanka is the Sinhalese homeland and nobody can deny that. Anybody willing to live in Sri Lanka (Tamil, Moslem, Burgher, Malay, Chinese, etc.etc.) can live in Sri Lanka without any problem.
Anybody who wants communalist special privileges (aka political solutions) can kindly leave.
no idon't want to justify anything, and itsn't my fault to errors commited by early generations, i only want to live in peace, itsn't a solution devide sri lanka coz no one of sinhalease want to devide our mother land, the fault to this misary is british who brought tamils from india to sri lanka as slaves.
13 Army officers incident is just the flash point. Prabhakaran started killing innocent Sinhaleese families in Trincomalee way before that. Then What about Prabhakaran's annihilating of all the innocent Sianhaless/Muslim people in Trincomalee, Vavniya and Ampara. Is that Bravery?
XDdanOne , It is a matter of time these camps will no longer be there and all of you will be happy. Rome was not built in one day. We know it is hard for them. But it was hard for us too to walk into death traps for 30 years inside Prabahakarans' Bus Bombs.
It is a matter of time??? SL gov needed 30 years for what? And talking about ROME. Tamils do not ask houses or money. They only ask freedom and peace like all ppl in sri lanka. But if you are tamil Freedom is not a thing you automatically given by the government.
You know what, ive hate the LTTE and im not going to waste my time...but, 1983 started bc, of LTTE thats the FINAL Answer. You can disagree & say nonsence but, the fact is PRABHAKARAN planned this attack on the 13SL Army officers & soliders so, the world or TAMIL NADU can be symapatetic for the Tamil cause....however, LTTE is finish now since the head is cut off (prabhakaran).
i know about the history but cause? ltte's war against sinhalease, if you never blows up Yal Devi train this wouldnt happen, wanna know how tamils aren't in SL Army? yea may be as soldiers but there're lot of tamils works for SL armies intelligence department, yes in 80th ltte doesnt kil tamils but in last 10 years they did it to all whom wan't live under ltte held area, and they kill all tamils who spoke against.
XDdanOne, this is not true "Clearly this was not a spontaneous upsurge of communal hatred among the Sinhala people. "...
Tamil diaspora protests were called spontanious which is not true those are well planned organized. but 1983 riots are sudden spontanious retaliations to a provocation by LTTE. Accept that. We regrette what happend in 1983, you Tamils have to accept that its a result of a provocation and need to be erased from minds. Tamils & Sinhalese have to learn how to live in Harmony
Most Sinhalese people regret that this happened in colombo and all media witnessed it.
There are many other tamil places where thousands of innocent tamils were massacred. Where no one can report it. Thats the 1st lesson the Sri Lankan government learned from 1983. To kill tamils in silence and call it war on terror.
Now the government claims they have arrested about 10,000 LTTE in IDP camps. The gov told in Jan 09 that there were only 1300 LTTE left!!!
You cant blame Sinhalese alone for the riots n 1983. LTTE wanted that to happend. First LTTE killed 2soldiers on the bike-Jafna Library. then 13 soldiers were killed in 1983-riots started. LTTE provocated sinhalese. Then UNP government didnt know about human rights. We are a third world country. people have simple thinking. we nevr experienced such violations before, when hurt, hit hard. But LTTE wanted have communal violence to show the world that sinhalese discriminate Tamils. Thats the cause.
Provocation is a lame excuse. Not 1 not 2 but 3000 tamils. Including women and kids massacred by cowards.
And 20 000+ This year. And not a single Sinhalese civilian was killed in vanni this year. And there is 0 Sinhalese civilians and 300 000 tamils civilians in concentration camps.
The LTTE were the biggest COWARDS FOR planting the jhonny mines & having machine guns on both sides of the junction road ready to trigger on the 13SL troops leaving Jaffna!
Also, Prabhakaran knew this plan will work so the sinhala ppl will be provoked also your video is BULLSHIT. You know, LTTE fought like cowards by running behing the jungles & PRABHAKARAN HIMSELF IS THE BIGGEST COWARD OF THEM ALL LTTE TAMILZ....This fker, try to hide in an AMBULANCE.1983isLTTE
How do call the brutal killings of 3000 unarmed innocent civilians, women and babies.
This a COWARD act. I can't help it that you can't handle the truth!!! This video is not BS. It is about 3,000 innocent Tamils brutally massacred by COWARDS!
wht NoEalamInSl said is so true..its nice to see people talking the truth...its not a proud history we have in 1983..its a huge black mark....
but sri lanka has moved on so much frm that time now....
my best friend, a sinhala girl got married to a tamil boy last week in colombo...a beautiful reception.... i didnot see the so called "hate" between tamils n sinhala living in SL, the way the diaspora make it sound....
this is sad but, mostly tamils & some sinhala ppl don't know why 3,000 tamils died...
when 13 sl soliders got masscered (which the LTTE been plotting to do) this had provoked the Sinhala ppl to an killing spree....however, Prabhakaran knew this plan will work so, lots of ppl around da world will be symapthetic for the tamil cause....especially Tamil Nadu. In the mean time, the ppl who lead the mob attacks were ltte agents who had an list of whose tamil ncolombo area whereas, itsthecausedeath
Nonsence? LTTE did not plan the ambush attack on the army convoy with 2nd/Lt. Waas Gunawardene, pvt. N.A.S. Manatunge, LCorporal G.D. Perera and Private S.S Amarasinghe, S.P.G. Rajatillake, K.P. Karunaratne. Also in the half truck was sergeant S.I. Thelakaratne, Fernando, Petrta, LCoporal Sumathipala, Pvt. M.B.Sunil and DN Manapitiya with Robert, AJ Wijesiri? RIP to these names of officers & soliders who died.
I have to agree with Xdon to some extent. Although, I would like tamil people to forget this past and look forward to the future there are things we still have to do in the country. There is no media freedom. The government does not allow any dissenting views, and no wonder tamil people are still not fully confident. I think the first step we sinhalese can make towards a sustainable peace is to extend out hands to the tamil people.
Tamils do want to forget this and get on with their life. But these kind of things are still happening. Unfortunately the gov always hides the truth. That why the gov controls the media.
Just look at this year! There are over 13000 wounded evacuated by ICRC before 1st of may. Still no details from governments side. In the last week ten of thousands who were in the 'no-firezone' are massacred.
i have to agree with XDanOne. We still have certain issues that we need to resolve. It's not time for victory parades. it's time for some reflection and make sure these things would not happen again. Make the country the best in the world. Tamils should not be captives of the past and sinhalese people should not think we can solve things militarily. We need to respect each other and make everyone equal citizens. words and good but deeds are more important.
Tamils can study any university in SL without problem... but Tamils killed every single sinhalese student who went to study at Jaffna & Eastern university...
when this happen 8 Police D.I.G were in Colombo were Tamils.... mastermind of Black July is Prabhakaran to teach a lesson to Colombo Tamils who said no to Eelam and to recruit more Tamils to terrorism... Nobody talks about 1000s of Sinhalese & Muslims massacred by Tamils who were living in Northern SL... It was continuously being happening for past decades...
This was not done by the singhales but it was an organized attack by power hungry politicians at that time, many singhalese at that time worked to protect the tamils from them. Over the past 30 years the LTTE has killed more than 50,000 civilians, Singhalease ,tamils and Muslims (Sri Lankans)It's now time to put aside what has happened and look to a new sri lanka one nation one people living in peace, we will never be able to forget what was done but if we forgiv the lives they lost would count
i don't say all sinhalese are bad. But this is done by sinhalese people backed by the government. The horrible thing is this kind of things still happening in silence and the current government is doing this on a much bigger scale.
Thats why they control the media. And killed many journalist who reveled the governments and Army's atrocities on tamils!
Then there was many sinhalese saved many tamils in 1983. But now many sinhalese don't know that these things are still happening!
those are called IDP camps, the barbed wire is used coz there're a lot of ltte cadres among civillians untill they all will be screened they can't removed barbed wires, and proccess for rebuild of nortern sri lanka is undergiong they should clean the territory from mines and bombs, so it will take a lot of time may 2 or 3 years before civillians can live their lives normaly.
You say it "those are called IDP camps" But in reality those are concentration camps. I thought mahinda declared total defeat of LTTE. Army in january 09 said that there were only 1300 LTTE's are left. If there are 'LTTE' is camp, then who they fought in vanni? How do you feel if I put u in those camp for 2 to 3 years?
