[b]Trinco is burning: international community condemns LTTE escalation of violence [/b]
[b]Colombo, 13 April, (Asiantribune.com):[/b] LTTE yesterday escalated their violence to another level, when a Tiger terrorist exploded a bomb tied to bicycle near a vegetable market in Trincomalee --one of the main towns in which the Sinhalese, Tamils and Muslims live side by side.
Reports state that in the latest explosion in Trincomalee 12 civilians were killed instantly with body part flying in all directions. The death toll is expected to rise with 45 more wounded. Black smoke was seen billowing and people were seen fleeing the riot-torn areas. The chaos lasted from around 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. yesterday.
On previous days they had targeted Security Forces in and around the area. 10 sailors and a civilian driver were killed and two British nationals were injured, when they detonated a claymore mine in Thampalakamam.

[quote="Zulu"][quote="Anonymouse"]Zulu you have valid points.
The reason I ask for a good gesture of the SL army and the SL government towards Tamils is because the current SL army and the SL government is seen by Tamils, Sinhalase, and the international community as the Sinhalase Government, the Sinhalase Army isn't that so?
Do you really think the international community or especially the Indian's would not come to help this country if the government really portray itself as the Sri Lankan government?
It's because the SL government is leaning [b]too much[/b] towards being a Sinhalase government. And especially the Indians know this and because of so many Tamils in Tamil Nadu they just can't back the government, even if the Indians have the Tigers high on their most wanted list. The Indian's can't help a Sinhalase government over a neglected Tamil population.
But they sure can help Sri Lankans. But the way it is right now everyone know that what most call Sri Lanka or anything official which has Sri Lanka in it's name is actually Sinhala.
The legaly, democratic chosen leaders should do more to make people feel Sri Lankans. I am talking about chosen leaders.[/quote]
NOT THAT I CONDONE IT, but for the sake of the argument, consider this.
Isn't that the LTTE's biggest problem, col. Karuna allegedly working with SLA? And Karuna is a Tamil, unfortunately NOW not on the side of the Tigers.

As for the Indian support:
If you go to TamilNation.org
you will find this:
[i][b]Today, more than 70 million Tamil people live dispersed in many lands across the globe.
"Thamilan illatha Nadu illai - Thamilanuku endru Oru Nadu illai" - "There is no state without a Tamil - but there is no state for the Tamils". [/b][/i]
It seems tamils are desperately in search for a homeland either in India or in SriLanka.
Presently the fight is in SriLanka, doen't mean the fight will remain in SL.
The Indian approach is very cautious and careful.
India has its own interests that sit above the SL interests.[/quote]
Of course the LTTE and the nationalistic Tamils (yes we even have those) come with arguments and publish information on website like this.
Maybe it's just me but I find it ridiculous to push natiolism so far. I find it far more important to live in peace with the things you have, right where you are, with the people around you. From that viewpoint I am writing what I am writing.
Many would disagree with me, but I don't really give a damn that my ethnic or the place I am living right now is not fill with people of my ethnic. If you are a good person you will fit anywhere!
Also, you and I know Zulu it are only the people with power who can state and publish things like that. The average Tamil on the streets in Jaffna or Chennai won't give a damn about these "Tamils are everwhere but don't have a homeland" publications. All these people care is what can be done for them [b]right now[/b], not what might be possible (in dreams...)
The jews have a homeland, but do you think every jew lives right now in Isreal?
There are many publications like this around the world. Even in Holland there are people who want to the population decrease from 16 to 10 million, and want all the of foreigners out of the country. And yes they might even have valid points, but that doesn't mean we should listen and they are right.

No tamil will be allowed to join by LTT(E) without getting killed.

We should do the right thing. It's not about the LTTE allowing or disallowing a good gesture of the SL army or the SL government by welcoming more Tamils in their camp, it's about the gesture itself.
Many Sinhalase anti-Tigers do actually exactly that what the Tigers want; because they always try to protect their own Sinhalase people instead of fighting for Sri Lankans, they too split the country along ethnic lines.[/quote]
Lets clarify a few rusty points.
SLTamils have a right to join the SLA. (That is a right not a good gesture.)
How many tamils are acting like SriLankans and also working in the government.?
How many of them are called traitors?
How many of them are killed and eliminated by LTT(E) to show GOSL is a mono ethnic ruler?
____________________________________________________________
Many tamils bury thier heads in the sand while calling others anti-tiger.
Actually, others are not just anti-tiger, they are also against
Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC)
Al-Qaeda
Rebels in Nepal
When people understand there is injustice, but lack the political and diplomatic know-how and the international recogniztion, then they take up the arms to prove their point.
Thats how it was in the medieval times.
Is that way we all want things to settle?
Lets see the things the way they are.

I feel your anger, but why do you end with "Sinhalase organisation for liberation and unifcation". Now you are splitting the country along ethnic lines yourself, a thing you hate about the Tigers.

1/LTTE,
Market Bomb: -> what I mean is:
If LTTE did this, then SLA very easily fell into their plan,
If karuna group did this, then both Ltte and SLA fell into their plan,
If Jvp did this, SLA fell into their plan.
If SLA did this.... I agree with you.

[quote="true.reporter"]According to reports, bomb exploded at market at 3:45pm.
Trucks loaded woth armed gangs were on streets at 4:15pm.
Well planned and waiting for a signal.
Now the question is "who triggered the market bomb"?

Ture reporter:
Assume this is by SLA. then 7 sinhala women out of 10 sinhala people were killed. Some sinhala people went out and burned 20 tamil shops. GOSl agreed to pay comphensation for those who were killed and the lost property. SLN had to go and put out the fires.
Besides, two police constables were killed, two navy crews were attacked. All these were SLA plans.
How dumb is SLA

Do you have LTTE friends("my LTTE friends") ?? congratulation !!
You should ask them what Mr Thamilselvan also directly admitted:
"we don't showcase" ,but maybe it was only a joke.

Your media spin does not work here Mr reporter. I watched LTTE political heads interview yesterday. He admitted that they are behind the violence. Even my LTTE friends agreed that (Mr Thamilselvan) he indirectly admitted, they are behind the killings, bombing, rioting etc, etc.

I agree with SLAFRF.
The condemnation of the killings and violence by the LTTE
by some of the International community are just words coming not from their hearts
USA and Japan has condemned the violence escalated by the LTTE now. What else can they do. Who wants their sympathies. They have shown that they are backboneless hyprocrats applying one rule for one country and another for other.
Erik Solheim has not condemned the bombing by the LTTE near a market at Trincomalee and the killings of the soldiers and navy personnel by Land Mines. He is waiting to blame both parties. He is a shameless person who should not be given any respect at all.
The Indian Prime Minister was more concered about the Tamils being killed in Trincomalee but not the Sinhalses. He was playing for the home crowd.Why cannot he contact the LTTE to stop the violence. They trained them at the start.
President Rajapakse should either resign if he cannot fight and win the war against the LTTE, or hand over the power to someone who can do it in the interest of both Tamils and Sinhalese.
Sellam
