What now for Sri Lanka-s Tamils? Part 02 AlJazeera English

[jeev2009]

British gvnmnt shuld concern about what she said about resistense. As to her if something happen in a country affected people should take law in to their hand get weopons and show some resistence is ok. As to her then thay will be named as terrorists. But if you don't show resistence like that they will not get what they want. So lady alquida and thaliban... aren't they doing the same thing. As a british parliamentary candidate is that how you talk.....

[jeev2009]

God this tamil women talks the same thing again and again no matter what's the question. Now two viewers asked two quizes about LTTE... Loos like she's got no idea about so called LTTE. But she is happend to know everything else about what SL gvmnt did and she had some stupid answers for everything else. She is obviously a LTTE member.

[STVR1]

She's not defending any of the attrocities commited by the ltte and neither am I. The problem most people have is with the way the gov has treated the tamils during the war. Simple as that. You cant claim to protect the civilians and then kill and maim them.

[ransilige]

If the international people not allowed how can she make comments about it biased on what? LTTE information?

[STVR1]

Nope, If you listen carefully, they discuss the UN satellite images, the testimony of the human rights representative who was there and has spoken to many civilians who escaped the war, etc. There is no doubt that there was a callos disregard for civilians by both sides. The gov had a duty to protect, which it failed misserably. Further, concentration camps for the civilians are not exactly going to help with reconciliation.

[ransilige]

No country has access to another country without permission to have satellite images if you know of any international law . . . . but it was presented to all ambassadors in Sri Lanka through UAVs what is happening regularly and by now you must be knowing the results about human rights council position

[STVR1]

Ni the case of SL, satellite surverilance was warranted because they didnt allow independent montitors or media. Yes, it is a sad day for human rights when countries who no no regard for human rights and those that have a vested interest in SL (Hambanthotta, etc) to be able to vote in a ballot that concerns human rights. Asking Sl to investigate its own war crimes is akin to asking thr Nazis to investigate themselves. Sad world we live in.

[ransilige]

All you people know is to complain from just looking from the outside . . . . things have drastically changed in Sri Lanka you have to let go the past and face the future positively

LTTE received what they deserved and you will too if you dont face the reality I work with tamils we have proper understanding and unity. Because of people like you they go through a lot

[STVR1]

"LTTE received what they deserved and you will too if you dont face the reality"

Seems like a threat. But good that you said it because it is the very mentality under which SL operates. "If you think differently to us or if you accuse us of wrong doing, or if you complain about injustices, then you're a terrorist deserve to die". This is the sort of mentality that got us into this whole mess in the first place.

[ransilige]

Tamils and Tamil LTTE supporters are totally different is how we look at if you are a terrorist (LTTE) as a country we have to handle accordingly. But commonly for tamils we are bound to do the needful for any unjust and we will. If you have eelam dreams you can only find that up Prabas ass.

We work with tamils very closely on this and also we have Sinhala extremists just like you for tamil that we handle it accordingly.

[STVR1]

Well as long as sinhala and tamil extremism are treated the same way. Recent news:

"More than 20,000 Tamil civilians were killed in the final throes of the Sri Lankan civil war, most as a result of government shelling, an investigation by The Times has revealed.

The number of casualties is three times the official figure. "

So firstly you could start with the sinhala extremist and terrorist Goathabaya, put him on the stand for tagetting and killing civilians.

[ransilige]

This is the problem with your kind???

[STVR1]

"Your kind, my kind" With this type of backward, uncivilised mentality there is no way we could hope for a reconciliation. You're willing to ignore attrocities commited by "your kind" but "our kind" should accept and live with all wrong. This is why Sri Lanka is a backward, third world shithole. Ignorant people, backward mentality.

[jeev2009]

Mate if you wanna live in the past you can. Some people like you think everything is racist. Then how do you explain all the LTTE attacks on innocent unamed sinhalese,Musilims and tamil civilians. Isn't that genocide. Os SL govmnt kiling LTTE terrorists to protect Sri lankans is a genocide. You tell me mate. Only thing you don't get most of the tamils live in colombo in peace with other nationalities. Only tamils in other countries don't want this war to end....

[STVR1]

No body is living in the past. Yes, attrocities were commited against the tamils as recently as the war. How about the present? 300,000 tamils imprisoned with little food and water. People are dying every day in the camps described by many including a top SL judge as appalling and terrible conditions. This is the present and the gov is still treating the tamils badly.

[Ethos115]

cant agree with you more !!!

[jeev2009]

In sl so called independent media and UN supplied all the equipments to LTTE including heavy earth moving machines ,satellite stations, weoapons, etc. Also they tried there level best to save ltte leaders. Thats why SL gov didn't want any of these NGO's, UN, or so called int media. These are the facts mate.

[STVR1]

HAHA. This is what you should've recognised as gov propaganda. If you said anything as remotely as silly as that (UN helped ltte, etc) you will be laughed at sny where else int he world. I am sorry mate, you need to understand how these multi-national organisations and media operate. They have nothing to gain from helping the ltte. UN for instance is made up of 190+ countries including SL and China- who provided the most help in this war. So UN was actually on the side of the gov.

[ransilige]

If they so care about tamils now its the time you have to help them to resettle . . .  not the send money like before to kill them

[STVR1]

Did you hear about the ship with supplies (medicine, food, clothes) that was sent to SL by the tamils in the UK? The gov detained the ship and they have now sent it back to the UK with the cargo. At this rate, there is no chance of reconciliation. Discrimination, abuse, and hatred towards tamils has never been this bad before.

[KolonelKARUNA]

ask ur mighty tiger to save them all!!

[debaron1108]

onece again someone who never been to sl passing a jugement in forigen media

[NoEalamInSL]

west european proxies(HRW,Media) have to measure human rights violations around the world with same yardstick, it includes 700,000 civilians massacred in Iraq. Dont use the magic word "genocide" to Sri Lanka, it never happend in Sri Lanka. You may have suceeded in many other conflicts like in Bosnia but not in Sri Lanka. Cause of 83 riots is killing of 13 soldiers in Jafna by LTTE, intention was to start communal violence. LTTE succeeded then but later never happend when ppl realized the trap.

[TamilFate]

She cannot face the world after supporting the LTTE Terrorist.

LTTE Terrorist killed their own Tamil people she as blood in her hands

[rajinigant]

what happend to the statement from SL gov. that the "worlds biggest hostage situation" was over? the freed ones is in concentration camps!!!!? it do not sum up

[siripala123]

Then we *resisted* and the LTTE leadership died like a cowered.

Do you think the use of child soldiers the way to resist?

[siripala123]

Stupid ladies.

Nobody is trying to wipe our Tamils in Sri Lanka? 70% of Tamils live among Sinhalese in other parts of Sri Lanka.

LTTE killed Sinhalese and Muslims in Noth.

We did not resist.

We tried to talk with LTTE.

LTTE did kill thousands of *innocent* Sri Lankans.

Did we resist?

No we tried to talk.

What did LTTE do? They simply stop talking and start killing.
