Sri Lankan military 'makes advances' - 22 Jan 09

The Sri Lankan military says it has captured what may be the Tamil Tigers main operations centre. But even as the Sri Lankan military talk about key military victories, there are worries that this will not bring everlasting peace to the island nation. Al Jazeera's Tony Birtley reports from a Sri Lankan army base at Ambepussa.

we sri lankans r releaved that the war in our country is now over. ofcourse international media channels like Aljazeera English did not make it any easier for us. for u its just a story...to get more viewers. critisising us where ever possible, which helped the tamil tigers cause. but its ok. no harm done.

Rather be a nigger than a God damn Muslim.....

[PakiMuslimJihadi1980]

Sri Lanka is a nigger country so its quite logical for Lankanese Niggers2go2Pakistan to see beautiful white Paki women.Look but don't touch,elseULankan Niggers will be beheaded.Most Pakis dont see a difference between a monkey and a sri lankan nigger, in their physical appearance,except maybe the monkeys are better looking.If the Sri Lanka government subsidizes plastic surgery and lankanese people whiten their skin like Nigger Michael Jackson they would get more respect. Pakistan Zindabad.

This is all bullshit...The horrible crimes committed by the Sri Lankan Government against Tamil people just because they have a different culture. May God forbid...Sri Lanka is doomed in the hands of the Singalese!!!!!!!!!

Tonight its all over !

We Tamil fools investing all our hard earned monies on this murderous regime of Prabahkaran to get what ? EELAM home land what we dare not visit just in case Praba rips us even more than he has done so far?

Collection mobs visiting innocent Tamils at night and demanding with menaces? Over past two decades my family has paid out over £100,000 in London under death threats. Alfred Doreappa, K.Navaratnam and Sarojinie Selvarajah were all my close relatives!

NoThanks

India said on Tuesday it will not buckle under any threat from the LTTE rebels, who warned New Delhi with consequences for demanding a safe passage of civilians caught in the fighting between government forces and LTTE. A senior Indian government official said on condition of anonymity that Tamil Tigers' warning to India not to help Sri Lanka to "uproot" civilians from their land shows the desperation of LTTE

[ponnapille]

what if all those tamils in mullaitheevu are not LTTE which is the case with most tamils, does that mean poddu and murderko-run can go on with their genocide?

I see only dumb lttp who really think they have won a war?

It was never a war against the army but a criminal act of violence against a traditional people in their forieng homeland!

but when you look abroad, there are 80 million tamils who support sri lanka as the defenders of their people, nobody cares Eelam
