[b]Sri Lanka Foreign Minister begins a three-day visit to India [/b]
By M Rama Rao - in New Delhi
[b]New Delhi, 07 May (Asiantribune.com):[/b] As the Colombo-Tigers stand off continues, the Sri Lankan Foreign Minister Mangala Samaraweera begins a three-day visit to India, his second visit in ix-months; the first visit was in December shortly after the Rajapakse government came to power. Sri Lanka's Foreign Secretary and Finance Secretary are accompanying him on the visit which is officially billed here as 'for consultations'. South Block sees the visit as a part of 'our high-level' engagement with Sri Lanka.
"The present visit is timely and, of course, particularly important as it comes at a time when the peace process is delicately poised in Sri Lanka," Foreign Office spokesman Navtej Sarna said. India will utilise the visit to 'make a first hand assessment' of the situation in the Island Republic, he added.
Samaraweera's main talking points with his Indian hosts, going by reports from Colombo, are supply of military hardware and an early decision on a comprehensive India- Sri Lanka defence cooperation agreement. Both topics have been on the agenda for a while and given the delicate situation Colombo is facing, the Rajapakse government wants India to make a public display of its support. What better way is there than an announcement on arms supply and defence pact, according to the Island government.

Alex,
You do have a good questioning attitude.
You must also exercise a conservative decision making. :D
I also read his articles.
One thing I admire about him is his courage to be unbiased while being a SL tamil himself, and his heart felt sympathy to human suffering regardless of race.[/quote]

[b]“EPDP suspected in attack on ‘Uthayan’ newspaper[/b]
May 6th, 2006
[i]By D.B.S. Jeyaraj[/i]
“A series of cartoons ridiculing Social Services minister and Eelam Peoples Democratic party Secretary - General Douglas Devananda may have resulted in the attack on the “Uthayan” Tamil daily newspaper say informed sources in Tamil media circles.”
[b]"Seven civilian youths massacred at Nelliaddy[/b]
May 7th, 2006
[i]By D.B.S. Jeyaraj[/i]
The army itself admits that they killed the seven youths. But they claim they were tigers. It is proved beyond doubt that the victims were innocent civilians who had been having a hearty drink."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[b]These articles came on Tamilweek.com, we Sri Lankans in Diaspora have a common question, how this journalist went to “Nelliyady” and to “Uthayan” and collect these information from the scene?
How he knew EPDP cadres killed Uthayan employees?
Which informed forces he mentions here? Tim Horton informs sources? Or his day light dreams??

[quote="humanrights"]Sri Lankan citizens - Sinhalese, Tamils and Muslims are struggling for food. The corrupt politicians pocket the Tsunami aid and keep commissions on the purchase of military hardware. They keep the war going so that their commission income will continue.
A country which relies on aid, spends majority of its budget, not on education or development, but on bombing its minority community as revenge for proving a weakness in their security systems. [/quote]
[b]In Sri Lankan Army web site they posted under the section “JOIN US”,” [i]Sri Lanka Army is the largest employer in Sri Lanka and it crates around 10,000 vacancies annually for Sri Lankans”.[/i]
LTTE also is the largest employer in Vanni employed more than 10,000 young boys and girls including children. Now from Jaffna the LTTE recruiting students, thugs and innocent people for their PEOPLES FORCE (Madhal Paddai).
Not only in Sri Lanka, also in western countries LTTE/ WTM/ TRO is the largest employer within the Tamil Diaspora as employed the money collectors, thugs, gangsters, media personnel…etc. [/b]

You sound scared Mr Dixion. Neighbouring countries having defence co-operation is absolutely normal. A legitimate government placing requisition order for Military Hardware with various governments is common practice, especially where there is a threat of war. The GoSL is not stupid to ignore the LTT threat of "the final war", LTT talked a lot about the final showdown in their November speech. If and when the war breaks out (officially) they (GoSL) will be ready just like LTT.
You are absolutely right Mr human right. All legitimate governments can officially openly request for assistance. GoSL is no exception. That’s why they managed to place orders with many countries.
Beggars can't be chooser. They have to go begging.

SL is not taking any '[b]STEPS[/b]' but they are asking ' supply of [color=red]military hardware [/color]and an early decision on a comprehensive India- Sri Lanka [color=red]defence cooperation [/color]agreement'
If that is true then SL have no choice but to 'have another Trip to INdia to explain it', as you correctly said!

The foreign governments should refrain from giving arms to these trigger happy Government who are the real Terrorists. The foreign governments should ban Sri Lankan missions overseas as "terrorists".
