		<description>Hey readers,

what&#039;s wrong in evacuating those who are hanging around in lodges doing nothing. Did you hear a news about evacuating of any permanent tamil residence of the south. i am also living in colombo but I am not asked to go away.

Looking at the things from India or any other europian countries will not make any sense, live and see.

Yes, sen told rightly but LTTE doesn&#039;t want that.. they need war for their suvival.</description>

		<description>Now NAZI SRILANKA &quot;&quot;FINDING&quot;&quot; their Set-Up Claymore bombs to JUSTIFY THE ETHNIC CLEANSING OF TAMILS.

The art of hiding a 22kg bomb inside the fuel tank of a 4by4    
 
According to Sri Lankan media reports, a Colombo lodger was caught in the north-central area, while attempting to transport a 22kg claymore mine, fitted inside the fuel tank of a cab belonging to a local government department in Kilinochchi. 

So a Tamil lodger from Colombo went all-the-way to Vavuniya to hide a claymore? Couldn&#039;t a Tamil in Vavuniya have done it? 

And how on earth did they manage to fit a 22kg claymore inside the fuel tank of a small cab? A claymore is a solid device, and one that weights 22kg would at least be a meter length. Where did the diesel go? Was the cab running on solar power? 

Confused? 

It&#039;s called two birds with one stone, Sinhalese style! 

Firstly, the recent forced evictions of hundreds of Tamils from lodges in Colombo had to be justified. And secondly, the reason for not allowing Vanni based teachers to cross the border to resume their duties had to be made clear. 

The fact that their story makes no logical sense at all clearly hasn&#039;t bothered the individuals at the military HQ in Colombo. 

All we can say is thank God it wasn&#039;t an Air Tiger plane in the back of an auto-rickshaw! 

About time the Sinhalese tax payers ask their story writers for some serious explanations.</description>

		<description>UN MUST HOLD A REFERENDUM AMONG TAMILS IN THE ISLAND TO KNOW THEIR WILL, LIKE THE ONE HELD IN EAST TIMOR, WHETHER TAMILS WANT TO SEPARATE OR BE UNITED WITH SINHALA NATION RATHER THAN ALLOWING THE SRILANKAN GENOCIDE AND LTTE&#039;S COUNTER ATTACKS.

The main cause of the proble have been the Sinhala Fundamentalist racism directed against minorities as soon as the British left the island and The Fictional racist book Mahavamsa which feeding and fuelling the racism among sinhalese.
As long as the sinhala children being educated with the racist book Mahavamsa, Not even Buddha can change the MIND-SET of Sinahala people and Sinhala politicians.
LTTE is the SYMPTOM not the Cause. 
The Cause is the constant Sinhala Racism among majority of Sinhala people and Sinhala corrupt politicians.

In 1937, A British Senior Civil Servent, worked 40years in Srilanka during British rule, gave Speech about Srilankan and Sinhalese in Royal Albert Hall. He said that SINHALESE POLITICIANS DON&#039;T NEED ENEMIES TO DESTROY THE SRILANKA, THEY CAN DESTROY THE COUNTRY IF THEY LEFT WITH THEIR OWN DEVICES. HOW TRUE HE WAS.

After independence in 1948, first major projecr of the Srilankan Prime Minister D.S.Senanayake was the ETHNIC CLEANSING of Tamils and Muslims in PATTIPALAI(Kalloya) and dienfranchise of millions of Indian orginated Tamils who sent 8 MPs to Srilankan parliament.
In 1998, All the Sinhala parties celeberated 50 years anniverssary of the FIRST ETHNIC CLEANSING of Tamils and Muslims in Kalloya.

Then, the Srilankan governments systematically ETHNICALLY CLEANSED North Western Tamil areas- Puttalam and Chilabam, Forcefully Conveted almost all the Negombo Tamils into sinhalese(Minister Fernando Pulle -Tamil but now Sinhalese), Ethnically Cleansed Kanthalai, Amparai, Parts of Trincomallee, Parts of Batticola and created majority sinhalese district Seruvila(Tamil name SERUVIL), then Ethnically cleansed North Eastern Tamil areas Manal Aru, Kokillai and Nayaru- VELIOYA NOW- and settled 100% Sinhalese into Tamil areas annexed with Anurathapura now to cut off Tamil Nation.

Then JR Jayawardene resumed MASSIVE ETHNIC CLEANSING AND GENOCIDE OF TAMILS during 80s in Trincomallee area to reduce Tamils and succeeded with killing 1000s of Tamils and chasing out many 1000s.

PLEASE REFER THE SRILANKAN CENSUS REPORTS SINCE 1948 TO DATE TO SEE THE REAL PATTERN OF SRILANKAN ETHNIC CLEANSING OF MINORITIES IN FAVOUR OF SINHALESE.

For example, Sinhala population were just under 1% in the entire Eastern Tamil areas but now GROWN TO NEAR 40% with the latest ETHNCI CLEANSING OF TAMILS FROM SAMPUR, MAVILARU, VAHARAI, etc.

Tamil Nation and Sinhala nation never be under one rule before the British but they co-existed for 1000s of years and must be left as they were before the British to solve the issue amicably rather than continuing this fooooooooooooooolish genocide of Tamils by the corrupt Sinhala politicians and Military.

TO CONCLUDE, I PROPOSE AND URGE THE UN TO HOLD REFERNDUM AMONG TAMILS IN THE ISLAND, LIKE THE ONE HELD IN EAST TIMOR, TO KNOW THE WILL OF THE TAMILS -EITHER SEPARATE OR UNITE WITH SRILANKA RATHER THAN DESTRYING THE TAMILNATION AND SINHALESE WHILE MORTGAING THE FUTURE OF SINHALA NATION FOR LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG TIME TO COME.</description>

		<description>Rajapakse Bros have nowhere to run. They are muddling matters so much, some feel by design, when major disorder comes, they can run away blaming everyone else and everything else for the debacle. Inconsistency and lack of backbone - hallmarks of MR - are the other reasons. When Akahashi puts his foot down the PM is ordered to apologise. When the JHU/JVP go beserk on the Public Apology that imbecile Fernandopulle, who moved heaven and earth to become close to the Tigers in Geneva claiming he is as Tamil as VP/&#124;Tamilchelvam, is ordered to attack the PM. This duplicity cannot go on for too long. In the tested Lincolnian adage &quot;you cannot fool everybody all the time.&quot; The Brothers will soon resort to the &quot;scorched earth policy&quot; before they hightail to different parts of the world with the loot.</description>

		<description>Bob Burns: The Sri Lankan Tamils DON&#039;T have a country. Tamil Nadu is a state in the India. It&#039;s like asking the Swiss Italians to go back to Italy. 

One cannot see this exercise of authority by the government in exclusion. It is in the context of a conflict - and every move is has a political connotation. To suppose anything else, is naive.</description>

		<description>I can totally understand where the govt is coming from, and I think everybody else can too. If some people are a security risk, authorities have a responsibility to minimize it. They could be resettled in alternate housing. Long as they&#039;re not criminalized, no fault no foul</description>

		<description>The Ethnic cleansing or Tamils eviction in Colombo ( Srilanka&#039;s capital ) shows that there are two regions a) Tamil eelam and b) sinhala South.

Sure Tamil eelam is the best solution.

see Europe...Many Countries are FEDERAL .So Srilanka can have two federal states

a) Tamil Eelam
b) Srilanka

Both can be called as USC  ( United States of Ceylon )

This will solve the Ethnic Issue.

		<description>Why should all ethnic groups have been evicted when other ethnic groups aren&#039;t involved in terrorist activities. Isn&#039;t that a rather farcial argument. Racial profiling is a controversial yet efficient tool in terrorism prevention. There were 15000 Tamils staying in hotels and lodges in Colombo that night and over a million Tamils permanently living in Colombo, and only 376 of the most suspicious people - any number of them potential terrorists - were sent back home.

We are told that there is a Tamil homeland that we must recognise. How could you expect us to be convinced when they obviously don&#039;t even want to live here. Apparently, they just want a homeland for the namesake and still continue to live in Colombo and the South. If all the Tamils moved to the North and demanded independence, Sinhalese will have no qualms about granting it. The problem is, they won&#039;t let any Sinhalese to live in the North, come to Colombo and bomb us, then expect equal rights.</description>

&quot;What happened on June 7th was miniscule when compared to the problems faced by Tamils elsewhere.In Sampoor for instance people from eleven villages have been driven out and their lands seized for a high security zone. It is a blatant example of ethnic cleansing. Yet it is the Colombo expulsions that have made the headlines as ethnic cleansing. Whatever the causes for this focus towards the June 7th incident there is no denying that this attention has embarassed the Rajapakse regime greatly.&quot;</description>

		<description>If it were simply a question of evicting people from lodges who had no reason to be there, then it shouldn&#039;t have been restricted to Tamils. All ethnic groups should have been checked out.</description>

		<description>At the end of the day the Tamils will all be better of leaving Sri lanka. We have Tamil Nadu, we have our intelligence, our determination and our drive. Remember why the war started in the first place? The Sinhalese were jealous that the Tamils were better educated and wealthier. When this war is done Sri Lanka will have a ridiculously high level of debt that will chain them down for generations. Sri Lanka is a joke and a basket case. We Tamils deserve better than to be tied to a pack of redneck losers.</description>

		<description>Someone said, no sinhalese can live in N.E. Any body can live in N.E.  Remember the tourism spike during the cease fire to Jaffan pennisula.  Only reason people don&#039;t live there is because No jobs due to no economical development, No food or medicine available for day today life and be ready to be killed by government aerial bombing raid, shelling and excecution by soldiers in everyday basis.</description>

		<description>The truth is majority of the sinhalese people dont agree however about the tamils desire for freedom because of longstanding discrimination by thier leaders, and do not believe tamils have any problems also most are kind of brainwashed that ltte are terrorists who keep killing them (i mean innocent sinhalese people) also worryingly none of them takes seriousness of daily murders and all sort of human rights violations of tamils by the forces &amp; thier operating paramilitory groups.

well.. for how long the international community is going to exprss so called concern at the way things are going? and when they going to wake up and see there is a serious abuses in srilanka at the minority tamils, who are clearly dont want to be ruled under sinhalese rule!

and I ask the sinhalese community to stop bashing the tamils &amp; wake up to the reality that in the name of destroying terrorists by supporting your leaders to unleash deaths to tamils not going to give you all peace,

the solution is tamil cannot live with sinhalese and vice versa, devide the country and move on.</description>
