[b]Solve the Tiger problem and Tamil problem separately --- Douglas Devananda [/b]
[b]Colombo, 29 April, (Asiantribune.com): [/b]Presenting an assessment of the current critical situation caused by LTTE violence to President Mahinda Rajapakse the EPDP Secretary General Douglas Devananda states that if the Tigers continue to avoid the opportunities given to them then, as head of state, the President should negotiate "only with those forces who believe in peace and arrange to provide constitutional rights to the Tamil speaking people fulfilling their reasonable aspirations."
Devananda emphasized that "the political rights are meant only to liberate the Tamil speaking people and not to strengthen the power of the Tigers."
Here is the full text of Devananda’s assessment of the current situation presented to the President:

Solve the Tiger problem and Tamil problem separately
TAMILS ARE BLESSED WITH GOOD LEADERS LIKE HON. DOUGLASS DEVANANDA, ANANDA SANKARRY, KAUNA AMMAN TO JOIN WITH ALL THE SINGHALESE LEADERS AND COME TO AN AMICABLE SETTLEMENT UNILATERALY.
WHY DOES GOSL & INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY DEAL WITH A CRIM
I have a very fundamental question that I would like to pose to misguided Tiger supporters, sane Tamils and Sinhalese, and all other international readers. Is it not well established that Parabakaran is a criminal that is wanted both in India and in Sri Lanka for the vicious crimes he has committed. If so, what gives him OR the LTTE that he is leading any legitimacy to participate in any kind of peace negotiation with the SL government. If I am a wanted criminal hiding in a jungle or a cave do I have any right to play a leadership role in any discussion with the community in which I am wanted?
As I see, the only reason he and LTTE has been granted this role is because he has pushed the people of Sri Lanka and the government to the utmost limits of their endurance through an extremely violent campaign with covert support from their friends in Norway and other terrorist friendly governments. To put it very very plainly, the Tigers have successfully blackmailed the SL government into agreeing to negotiate with criminals.
I am amazed by the fact that all of the so-called peace loving western nations (such as USA, Canada, Australia, UK) and India (who will not negotiate with Kashmiri separatists) that publicly swear that they will never negotiate with terrorists, are all happily advising and pressuring the GOSL to not retaliate in anyway to the Tiger brutalities BUT negotiate with them. It seems VERY CLEAR that the international community is playing a dangerous double game here.
I am not denying the fact that there may be some legitimate grievances of the Tamil people that MUST be addressed by GOSL. My point is that LTTE is should NEVER be a part of that discusson in view of their past and current terrorist and criminal behavior. IF TIGERS HAVE A RIGHT TO NEGOTIATE SO DOES BIN LADEN AND AL QUIDA! After all, just like the Tigers, have'nt they too proven their ability to cause death and destruction and bring the US government to a standstill.
What is happening in Sri Lanka gives a two clear messages to terrorists all over -
1. any legitimate government can be brought to their knees with sustained voilence and support from many mercenary sources
2. you can bet that the international community will do very little to stop it
This is the dangerous world of tomorrow. It is Sri Lanka today but some other nation tomorrow where some crackpot thug like Prabakaran can rise us and cause havc.

GOSL must solve the Tamils problem.
Then, Tamils will solve the Tiger problem.

[quote="1/LTTE"]I think this is a major problem.
A majority of Both the sinhalas and tamils have misunderstood this and they have mixed LTT and tamils.
That is in a war the success of LTT propaganda and people needed to be explained.
LTT tamils would say this is the truth very much but they also know in their heart this illusion one day may bring them the "sangrila". They keep on denying that they are chasing an illusion and in that chase they lose the respect for the name "tamil" and also many other things.[/quote]
Then solve this MAJOR problem first!
Why we take this many decades to solve this? Or do we need a Douglas Devananda to enlighten us?
Look at the response we gave to LTTE attack in Colombo. Shelling a civilian centre!
We even bomb a Muslim family inside the Government held area!
DEVANANDA, SANGARI, KARUNA ET AL
WELL DONE HON DEVANADA.
ACHIEVE SAFTY AND PEACE FOR TAMILS AND BRING WAR TO AN END IF SINGHALESE AND SRI LANKAN GOVRNMENT REALLY WANT.
