Mr Muggah Needs To Put Up Facts Or Shut
Up!

It needs to be elaborated that misguided articles of this nature appear
to be composed for the single purpose of misleading the International
Community and the rest of the world ~ It seems laced in bias and quite
incongruous, perhaps with a leaning towards the pro LTTE propaganda
machine that the 'outspoken' Mr. Robert Muggah has taken the liberty
to be so bold to present to a world audience! This is a reference to
the item appearing on Star.com captioned" A country spins out of
control" Now who the hell is Robert Muggah despite his credentials
as Robert Muggah research director of the Small Arms Survey in Geneva
and the author of Relocation Failures: A Short History of Internal Displacement
and Resettlement in Sri Lanka (forthcoming) to assert so blatantly,
ignorantly and misguidedly that "Sri Lanka is quietly sliding into
a humanitarian nightmare."
In what capacatity does the man become so audaciously Philistine and
is he perchance so blinkered that his reference portraying Sri Lanka
as sinking into a mire of despair and damnation, addressed to the world
at large ? Does it not in turn portray him as a loosed tongued orator
of no viable means to substantiate some of the blatant accusations he
has directed at the Government of Sri Lanka! This is at best a composition
in the same vein as the ludicrously distorted "An Historical Journal
of Ceylon" By Robert Knox an Englishman once imprisoned by the
Kandyan Kingdom and later escaped to vent his frustrations in an epistle
of a blatantly concoctred and distorted epistle on Ceylon on a gullible
world prior to the British annexation.
It seems particularly contentious in a world where American created
aggression in the name of peace which also involves the Jewish state
and its despicable autocracy in Israel and her surrounds together with
the many other disparities of American interference around the Globe
showing rank disregard to human suffering other than the objective of
stabilising American Interests mostly and a display of arrogant superpower
might and assertion of authority taken up in mimicry by some of her
allies causing greater distress in the world than what goes on in Sri
Lanka, a Sovereign Nation fighting the scourge of illegal terrorism
and internal armed insurrection and how dare he be as outspoken as he
is about what sanctions need to be initiated and what in his opinion
is the correct panacea to Sri Lanka's woes?
Is this not once again a clear cut example of meddling into the internal
affairs of a Sovereign Nation with no carte blance whatsoever towards
taking the liberty? Why does this somewhat myopic and blinkered individual
of apparent pro Western propaganda not put a lid on his rhetoric rather
than attempt to mislead and confuse the world or better still immerse
himself in the hugely needed dialogue and course of remedial action
towards the dissipation and discontinuance of arms and armaments among
the civilian population of the world ? The America Gun Lobby for instance
and the manufacturing of weapons of various levels of destruction and
their distribution which are causing such havoc, mayhem and pain of
human suffering and the destruction of precious human life concentrated
in other parts of the world where multitudes are perishing by the day
due to lack of proper intervention towards redress if he needs an assignment
more appropriate with his background and training where he appears to
have nothing better to do than dabble in Sri Lanka's conflict without
a license to do so and a better felt need surely!!
How does he have the justification to comment that "Since the election
of the Nationalist Government of Mahinda Rajapaksa in 2005 and the resumption
of 'war' against the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) late last
year, the number of civilian deaths has jumped sharply. In the past
six weeks, more than 180 Tamil, Muslim and Sinhalese citizens have been
killed, many with bullets through their temples. Reprisal targeting
of Sinhalese – usually by way of explosives – is on the rise.
" a statement which has such ambiguity it could have been taken
from a thriller novel and its plot fashioned to suit its readers relative
to cheap sensationalism which seems doctored to the needs of the pro
LTTE Eelamist brigade around the world despite its veiled duplicity
albeit what seems to be a failed effort to convince a very discerning
world or a majority therof who are aware of the realities surrounding
Sri Lanka's war against the Tamil tiger terrorists and that it is a
justified cause with little or no alternatives mainly due to the indifference,
mendacity and lack of responsibility on the part of the Tamil Tigers
who are but unrelenting terrorists for which they have to pay a price
consequently!
Does this individual for a moment realise the obstreperous and bufurcated
nature of his comments where the present Government contrary to his
accusations has transformed the Nation of Sri Lanka to a much more stable
place towards posterity than it was prior to his taking office where
it was a hotbed of Tamil Tiger attrocities aided and abetted by conniving,
self centered and power hungry previously incumbent political leaderships
which almost brought the Nation to its knees over decades but was thwarted
by the resilience and prudence of the present Administration?
For his information and that of any others with the same trend of misguided
thoughts and objectives, Sri Lanka is not quietly sliding into a humanitarian
nightmare although some would like to concoct this! To the contrary,
the people of the land are indebted to the relentless drive the present
Administration has initiated through the assertive and efficient direction
of the Sri Lankan Armed Forces towards completely ridding the Nation
of the vermin that has been a scourge for decades, stifled and reversed
its progress and launched a reign of terror for its peace loving inhabitants
until the present Administration decided to take the issue by the scruff
of its neck and not palaver to the rhetoric of foreign stooges such
as Mr Muggah ( incidentally there is a vicious crocodile in the wilds
of Sri Lanka also called a 'Muggah' which is a salient analogy towards
the attempted mugging of Sri Lanka by Mr Muggah this testimonial of
his appears to be!)
It is indeed a fact of life that in the circumstances surrounding the
liberation of Sri Lanka from the vermin terrorists attempting to destroy
it, there undoubtedly have been civilian casualties but what Mr Muggah
fails to realise is that on a statistical basis the greater percentage
of these casualties and their injuries and deaths have been caused by
the terrorists who are not only ruthless but conscienceless and with
no regard for human life or property.What the Armed Forces have done
todate is alleviate the sufferings of vast multitudes of civilians in
areas plagued by the LTTE vermin where their livelihoods, properties,
respectabilities and dignities have been restored to them after it was
once stripped by the Tamil tiger terrorists! The Government is making
every attempt to overcome the problem of civilian casualties often exaggerated
by the Tamil tigers towards justifying their cause and existences it
must be highlighted here!
Most unfortunately the terrorists despite being in the process of elimination
and being effectively hammered to submission and capitulation by the
Armed Forces still manage to infiltrate into civilian populated areas
taking casualties with their now sporadic attrocities which Mr Muggah
should come to terms although it is a salient reality they are being
dealt with effectively and will soon be a thing of the past!An assertive
pledge by the leaders of the Armed Forces which is being effectively
executed through all the available means at this very moment.
The following section of the statement by Mr Muggah in particular is
a blatant distortion of the facts apparently created to invoke world
anger against the present Administration ! "Since the election
of the nationalist government of Mahinda Rajapaksa in 2005 and the resumption
of war against the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) late last
year, the number of civilian deaths has jumped sharply. In the past
six weeks, more than 180 Tamil, Muslim and Sinhalese citizens have been
killed, many with bullets through their temples. Reprisal targeting
of Sinhalese – usually by way of explosives – is on the rise.
It seems fairly obvious that there is innuendo in his reference to
the phrase "by way of expolsive " and is a liberty taken by
the man relative to his designation as an arms survey specialist but
it seems to have failed to provide him with the real source of these
explosives which by now even a novice or layman knows enough about to
attribut them to the Tamil Tigers whose speciality is suicide bombing
related to explosives not bananas! This is part of the dedication of
assignment which the Sri lankan Government and the Armed Forces are
faced with and if Mr Muggah is suggesting alternate means to deal with
the issue he must surely be dreaming!
His rhetoric which entails sayings such as the outside world is watching,
there have been 75000 deaths, references to the relative mindset of
the UN Secretary General ( another indiviudual posting shameless double
standards when it comes to unbiased decision making relative to areas
of felt need around the world where suffering is at a peak and humanitarian
needs are circumvented to appease his bi -partisan decision making as
many have come to conclude!! and far worse than his predecessor) appears
to have a singleminded objective which is to portray the Rajapaksha
Administratioin in poor light and geared to the needs of the waning
Tamil Tigers perhaps on their insistences together with their supportive
diaspora around the world who may even be funding his efforts!
And would it be within Mr Muggah's fogged up comprehension to understand
that by making these statements of derision and doom against the Nation
of Sri Lanka he is merely showing his transparencies as a lobbyist for
the Tamil tiger cause and one with idiotic dispensations which are not
acceptable to the Sinhala nation where he needs to put up the real facts
or SHUT UP!
