Sri Lanka President calls for talks with Tigers "In return of my trust, I want the LTTE to trust us" - Sri Lanka State Controlled Daily News, 23 January 2006 BY DILIP Ganguly (the Indian Hand & the Spin?) | "In return of my trust, I want the LTTE to trust us" ...Iyathurai Baskaran, Nadarajah Yogeswararajah, Illayathamby Ramakrishnan, Thurairajah Ravichandran, Kanapathy Murugesu, Mariyanayagam Maruthanayagam, Bojan Renuka, Bojan Shanuka, Bojan Arthanageswary, Tharmarasan Tharmaseelan, N Kandeepan,T Tharmasri, Soosaithas K Marinthiran, Sebastiampillai P Ruban, Selvarajah Uthayarajah, S.

"..The Sri Lankan military has noted the people at the forefront of the Pongu Thamil events and now appears to be on an extermination drive to eliminate these people. People have commented that those who are terrorising the people are doing so with a list of names... We hear a lot of stories of people coming in “white van” and abducting people. Nothing is heard about the abducted people after that. People have been abducted like this in Ilavalai, Point Pedro, Nelliady and many other places”."Jaffna Displacement caused by Sri Lanka Military's Extermination Drive - NESHOR - "Over the last six to seven weeks atrocities by the Sri Lankan armed forces and paramilitaries against civilians in Northeast have escalated to alarming levels. Sri Lankan armed forces so far have been responsible for at least 45 deaths and more than 100 disappearances and innumerable shooting/beating and injuring of civilians who were going about their daily lives..."North East Secretariat on Human Rights Appeals against Sri Lanka Army Atrocities - Dr N Malathy, NESOHR Secretary General, 6 January 2006 "No time to breathe" ".. (On election, President Rajapakse) hurriedly removed the Army Commander – Lieutenant General Santha Kotegoda, who was... considered a peacenik, with the hawkish Colonel Sarath Fonseka, who was.. promoted to the rank of a Lieutenant General.The Commander has asked for three months to reorganize the army and prepare the army for hostilities against the LTTE. The appointment of the hawkish Ratnasiri Wickramanayake as the Deputy Minister of Defence, the appointment of the President’s brother as the Secretary of Defense, the appointment of Kotakadeniya, the dreaded former DIG and treasurer of the JHU, as an advisor on Police affairs suggests that the President is appointing hardliners into the defense establishment.. As a sequel to Kotakadeniya’s appointment search operations are underway and nearly 900 Tamils of both sexes have been arrested and detained in Colombo .To bolster the hard-line approach, the President who is also the Minister of Finance voted Rupees 91.6 Billion for Defense spending under the 2005/2006 Budgetary allocation, being the highest monetary allocation for Defense in its history." The Finale of Tamil Patience - Roger Ratnarajah, 19 January 2006 "When the talks start we will take the issues one by one and try to solve them" "..What kind of positive change can you expect from a fumbling President, completely out of depths in governance, who has to depend for his majority in parliament from his back-seat driving racist allies, the JVP, and for support from a cowardly Kotakadeniya gang that unable to stomach the repeated losses of their armed soldiers and sailors take their revenge on unarmed civilians both in the north and east and in Colombo? What can you expect from a President who listens to rumours and uses rowdy language on the phone to a reputed editor? ...What have you got in your hands to offer, Mr.President? You have precious little. You have only small change in the form of a political solution. Going back on fifty years of Sinhala racism at this deathbed hour would be beyond you. May Guruvayur Appan be with you!" Oru Paper Editorial - Solheim meeting Pirabhakaran will mean nothing if he comes to Vanni with small change, 20 January 2006 |
