To anyone who cares: A documentary about the Genocide of at least 40,000 Tamils in North Sri Lanka made by Channel 4 (UK) and the UN Report of the Genocide, Guess she was not making it up then, it was all true and horrific.. yet the Government denies it, We live in such a bizarre world, governments can get awway with mass murder after all.
I think M.I.A. was so right when she said "using music to stand for something" (I paraphrased). Even if her music or style isn't of everyone's taste, she stands for something humanitarian, which you can't help but respect. Much love to M.I.A.! -3
While there are probably war crimes taking place in SL (as there are in every single war that has taken place throughout history). There is certainly no genocide taking place. There are moderate tamils, living and working in Sri Lanka and surely if there were trying to wipe out all tamils they would start with the ones closest to them.
US is well aware of what is happening because the 'war on terror' was used by Bush to deceive the American people into believing that loose band of weakly armed terrorists (whom the US helped create) was used as a scapegoat for invading a number of different nations.
Similarly, the Rajapakse Government used the LTTE as a pretext to do Genocide on the Tamil civilians.
The Europeans had successfully used this tactic wipe out Native Americans, Polynesians, Africans, and Australian Aborigis.
It is so obvious that GOSL has been involved in acts of genocide and that it is systemic in the island. Ban of UN described the human tragedy suffered by the Tamils as the worst witnessed in any conflict anywhere in this world. HRC showed due process in Iraq and Kosovo. GOSL/LTTE War Crime allegations have to be investigated. Given the evidence, HRC has no option but to accede to an INDEPENDENT investigation. After 61 yrs of unrest it's clear - we need a two-state solution for peace-Kosovo.
I agree with rajeevan187. Its the srilankan government, i think they brainwashed the sinhalese ppl. This war is keeping the sL economy down, it isnt going up anytime soon, unless this war is solved politically. I dont know what the government is thinking honestly, do they really think by defeating the Tigers would solve the problem?lol.. honestly!! ****The fundamental problem in srilanka is the discrimination against the minority tamils.****
I DON"T want to be hating on sinhalese but their fucken government they worship is noting but cold hearted murders .. they bomb school and hospitals ... rape our sisters and kill our brothers.. the evidence is right there.. yes LTTE did some unforgivable thinks as well..BUT PEOPLE HAVE have understand that Tamil got it Alot worser then Sinhalese people... OK lets forget about the past now.... what sri lanka is doing to Tamil civilian RIGHT NOW!! is genocide .. and it must STOP !!!
You said it nicely, it's not the sinhalese people nor the tamil people, it's their government. Let's forget the LTTE they are not the tamil people and have nothing to do with them...Right now, people are suffering that is the most important thing and it must be STOPPED!.
she's a great person I realy like her because she has her own beliefs and stands up for her self as well as her own people and I like the fact that she did not do it for money and fame she did it for a reason and to make people feel that ya there is so much terrible things going on this world that never is talked about and MIA did that with her song paperplanes. Great job MIA on all your success youv'e made so many proud! now something needs to be done to fix this stinkin world lol
Tamil Civilian 'slaughter' in Sri Lanka. The campaign group, Human Rights Watch, has accused the Sri Lankan army of "slaughter" of civilians in the north-east.
"Army air strikes and artillery fire on areas where there are tens of thousands of civilians, including Tamil journalists, are war crimes" the worldwide press freedom organisation said.Reporters sans frontières (RSF) 16Feb.08.
This definitely is a testament to the power of music. So many people are aware of this conflict than ever before. Hopefully, M.I.A. can be a catalyst for change in this situation even if it solely awareness, which is the first step.
I cant stasnd her she is full of shit pretending not to be part of the LTTE or supporting them ansolute nonsense have you seen her videos. she is trying get some with her fake charm advocating kiling!!! who needs it I have both Tamil blood and sinhalese and I hate this silly cow's ideas!!
cluster bombs?Genocide is systematic destruction in whole or in part of an ethnic, racial, religious or national group, 1948 cppcg) this case the tamil people. Today Sinhalese are dropping cluster bombs on innocent civilians with impunity. this is war crime. shameful no honor in murder of innocents.
check utube "civilian casualties rise in sri lanka fighting" if these little girls are hostages, then negotiate! dont drop cluster bombs on them!
Well spoken. I think there are a number of ethnic populations that can relate to what M.I.A. talks about. The Palestinian population can definitely relate.
i salute her stright headed voice about t sinhales, as some of the tamils in abrod think talking about our community is shame, see this girl and learn how t behave as a tamil!
MIA ur the best...with ur success i hope America as well as Canada (who has taken the action towards the war)..will help tamil ppl b in peace esp since the Singalese army has been killin and raping the poor innocent tamil ppl...jus so they can have the country as if it was thier own...
This is the truth. The world has to understand that Tamils have the right to live. Give us back our rights and our freedoms and we won't have to fight back.
The LTTE is an excuse for the sl govt to wipe off Tamils. This will have dire consequences.. both internationally and on the war front.
Please help the HILL TRIBES OF BURMA.
They are currently experiencing GENOCIDE, CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY and WAR CRIMES.
Thank you.
