It is not only the The plight of the Tamils in the diaspora threatened
by the LTTE which has at last been documented and exposed by the New
York based Human Rights Watch as reported by the Asian Tribune but also
the blatant indiscretions which have continued for decades by these
so called Western Nations who pawned the plight of the non LTTE supportive
Tamils towards their own purposes and projected many undiscerning innocent
victims to live in fear and uncertainty. All kudos to HRW and may their
projected aspirations towards truly exposing the LTTE as well as any
other similar outfits of terror and mayhem result in the complete eradication
of International terrorism.This is a small step in the right direction
which will undoubtedly be rewarded greatly and from which Sri Lanka
is bound to benefit immensely alongside all other countries plagued
with the wretched manifestations and infestations of global terrorism!
Significantly the complaints of Tamil expatriates threatened, intimidated
and attacked, either in the diaspora or in Sri Lanka, were for a long
time ignored by Western Governments, though they knew what was happening
under their noses particularly in countries such as Canada now turning
about face with the new Harper Administration adopting a zero tolerance
attitude, Australia which seems divided over tolreance and the UK wishy
wash at best as the continued tolerance of Anton Balasingham's antics
and the permission granted towards his covert terrorist supportive activities
in the UK seem to attest to.Shameful manifestations of abject apathy
on the part of the Administrations of these countries and mercifully
the real truth about the goings on of LTTE activities overseas have
now been exposed to lend credence towards their complete global banning
if any sense or sensibility is to prevail over the overall reality that
these are mendacious, ruthless, directionless (other than towards their
wretched objectives and survival) and conscienceless criminals who have
wreaked havoc on a Sovereign Nation and projected global criminalities
through the concept of suicide bombing which they alone pioneered as
the world now helplessly watches some of the ramifications almost on
a daily basis!
Beyond the shadow of a doubt and taking into consideration the many
intelligence reports which have surfaced over the years about Norway's
role as harbingers of LTTE conceived idealogies, Norway has indeed been
one of the largest LTTE sympathisers where the LTTE held sway in a most
inconceivable symbiosis with the Norwegian Government which continued
to turn a blind eye on all LTTE attrocities committed for decades and
ignored many complaints from very credible sources.
One time Norwegian chief representative in the Sri Lankan Peace Process
assigned to monitor rather than execute policies towards resolving the
ethnic issue as part of the SLMM, Erik Solheim can be labelled one of
the chief culprits as pointed out on many occassions by dissenting yet
discerning Tamils expatriates and other vehemently opposed sections
of the Sri Lankan establishment of his bifurcated attitude which leaned
heavily in favour of the LTTE but he repeatedly turned a blind eye to
cover up for his LTTE sympathies and the skulduggery of the LTTE continued.
Remarkably even to this day he has been able to pull the wool over some
of the Sri Lankan hierarchy that his intentions are noble towards the
cause of Sri Lanka's Peace when in reality it is as insincere as the
Devil's itself.
It has to be reiterated in as far as the question posed by the latest
expose by the Human Rights Watch ~ "What will the Western Governments
do collectively to bring the LTTE agents to book.'Will it be mere lip
service once again by some that the LTTE are involved in a peace process
and has to be further tolerated or will they toe the line of the USA
and the UK that their continued attrocities will be met head on and
quashed!? Questions needing implicit answers in the very near future!
The LTTE are on rather thin ice if a recent statistics report compiled
by intelligence sources are accurate within a marginal error factor
that their entire cadre ensemble amounts to no more tha 1300 + insurgents
and subversives and that they appear to be pulling off a huge bluff
aided and abeted by countries like Norway that they are powerful enough
to overrun the Sri Lankan Armed Forces, something which has been refuted
by the powerful status quo of Sri Lankan Defence and its leaders.
The world has finally awoken to what the LTTE really stand for, as
reports continue to flood in of a desperate fund raising campaign globally
towards a final Eelam War and contrary to the circumstances in the past
where individuals coerced by the LTTE caved into their intimidations
through fear of reprisals today there are many dissenting Tamil Expatriates
prepared to stand up to the LTTE and deny their demands very bravely
and nobly towards the collective well being of their motherland.
It is hoped that the New York based Human Rights Watch has now set
the ball rolling in the right direction through their exposure of the
LTTE in their truest of colours and that the Government of Sri Lanka
will be prompted to move accordingly to expunge the evils of the LTTE
through appropriate means rather than dancing to their tunes and those
of Norway where the Nation of Sri Lanka will finally be eradicated of
the vermin that continues to plague her well being and those of all
her citizens who are in great need of restitution for their sufferings
at the hands of the LTTE!
It now seems an imperative responsibility for the Sri Lankan Government
combined with the fullest support from all its Western allies to protect
all Tamil Expatriates as a bounden duty towards them for their courageous
stand in the face of the LTTE threat which continues to hamper their
peaceful existences whether in domestic enclaves or internationally
and nations such as Canada and Norway amongst others should atone for
their sins of ommission towards the cause and join hands with all the
nations in condemnation of the LTTE who continue to remain fully armed
unrelenting terrorists for whom there is neither a place in Sri Lanka
nor in any global environment! towards acceptance as a legal entity
!
