The War has ended friend.

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.

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?

own pple?..u mean bus-bombers?

[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.

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

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 !!!

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

[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.

[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.
