LTTE opposes shift of army headquaters. The SLA agreed to release the Subash and Gnanam hotels for normal business. This was a long standing demand from the LTTE and TNA. Now after the Army found a suitable land, the same parties oppose to the relocation. For them the business for these hotels was just a farce. The aim was to relocate the army, if possible out of Jaffna penninsula. For this reason they oppose. They should therefore propose other alternatives, to be sincere about the peace process. The SLA cannot leave Jaffna as long as the LTTE is an armed force.

HELLO SIR

MY NAME IS THEVARAJAN IAM A SRILANKAN, NOW I WORKING MALAYSIA, SRILANKA MY DIST. BATTICLOA P/S MY EMAILADDERSS REPLAY YOU

LTTE and elections: As soon as the LTTE agreed to hold local body elections in North and East, it starts its capaign in the known matter: "Paramilitary leader shot dead". Widely known as "Varathan," the paramilitary leader also campaigned for the People's Alliance (PA) candidates in the Batticaloa district at the 2001 elections to Sri Lanka Parliament. M. Uthayakumar, 25, a member of the paramilitary Varathan group working closely with the Special Task Force, a paramilitary force of the Sri Lankan government, was shot." The next killing will be TULF leader Anandasangari or EPDP leader Douglas Devananda both opposing LTTE orders.

Kokila Tharvaraja teacher: "LTTE must come forward to revive educational activities in the remote areas. Propaganda to attract children to join in their military activities should be stopped. The young ones who are already in the organization should be allowed to return to their homes and continue their studies."Balasingam: "Weaponry is our spiritual strength. " All that was required was a timetable for troop Ilamparithy had the Hartley College Principal mauled, prevented the opening of the Jaffna Library by threatening the Mayor and promising a 'blood bath'.Hard core TULF supporters, though passive, believes strongly that the LTTE betrayed and destroyed the Tamilstruggle

L.T.T.E , had attack a navy ship wich was carrying 1700 troops , 4 men have been injured . IS THIS PEACE ????, learn a lesson from America , that's the way to finish the enemy's , this will be another neglected incident for the SLMM and norway , but this is war , we tamils wan't like this kind of peace , our small children are still suffering , sinhala leaders a great not like our leadres , we don't wan't LTTE to be our leaders

LTTE and Humanrights in Japan talks.: According to sources, there had been an obvious division of opinion among all quarters - the government team, the LTTE delegation and even the Norwegian facilitators, when the issue of human rights was taken up in Hakone. While in certain cases, Balasingham appeared to have been a little accommodating, Thamilselvan whom many think has lately become the "voice" of Prabhakaran during talks, had adopted a strong stand of non-compliance. Therefore peace is only possible when Prabakaran is no longer among us. Let's do the necessary for all peace-loving tamilpeople willing to live in a united Srilanka.

US-Report on Human Rights:"LTTE expropriate food, fuel and other items meant for IDP's, thus exacerbating the plight of such persons in LTTE controlled areas. LTTE continued to commit serious human rights abuses and the LTTE reportedly committed several unlawful killings, and was responsible for disappearances, torture, arbitrary arrest, detentions, and extortion. LTTE continued to undermine the work of elected local government bodies in Jaffna.LTTE prevented political and governmental activities from occurring in the north and east and denied those under its control the right to change their government, did not provide for fair trials, used child soldiers, and discriminated ethnic-religious minorites."

Please do not make political,military and economic divisions inevitable by simply practising ethno or exclusive nationalism. Grab this golden opportunity to bring the warloards together. Lanka is unique as all of us know.

I have read with pity of Mr George's comments.He seems a very frustrated depressed man,doom and gloom seems to be his lot.Where as for it is hope in the goodness of human beings.George you should see a psychiatrist

Military Spokesman Sanath Karunaratne said chances were remote of any armed groups operating in the area in view of the authority of the LTTE in that area. EPDP: LTTE is the only armed group in Sri Lanka today, which could move about with impunity in the seas of Mullaitivu. The conclusion arrived by the SLMM and the speculative remarks would further embolden and encourage the LTTE to engage in many more terrorist acts in the future with impunity. The SLMM is handicapped without access to LTTE controlled areas and that SLMM has no access to the ports controlled by the LTTE.

I agree with George's comments as a tamil, Our Tamil leaders are doing a big Harm to all tamil comunity, We tamil's don't wan't LTTE to be our heoros, I studied at Jaffna and now in colombo University , I know what damage LTTE did for Us

1. Raping of Tamil School Girls

2. Abducting small tamil boys for fulfill sexual fealings of LTTE leaders

3. Raping Wifes of tamill men who won't support LTTE and many more ,

The Sri lanka Army is very good and we have faith in them than LTTE

Why don't you think about the sinhala people in South? We need a country that every one live in everywhere. but in Noth it is imposssible find any Sinhala person as a resident, where as Tamils live in everywhere all around the country.we cant find any Sinhala people reprasentation in peace talks. Isthis the peace going to gain without considering the majority of SriLanka?

Humanrights need to be observed by the LTTE in its dealings with the civilian populace. A tamil civilian was asked to visit a LTTE camp, he had been arrested for 1 year and asked to stay on at the LTTE camp for reasons known only to them. The LTTE issued a 'final' warning to the TULF president, to resign from his post. An understanding signed by the LTTE and the other political parties allows all political campaigning to tilt in LTTE's favour.President: lashed out at the LTTE, saying "that it was not the sole representative of Tamilpeople but is a terrorist organisation."

Dear brothers and sisters.

Congratulations to both parties for carrying on in the right track. I am saddened by the fact that when i wrote my last mail explaning a how the reconcilalitation must take place with historical quotation of events it had been censored by this web master. If the supression of opinion continues then its not going to be a real peace process as it indicates unwillingness to accept truth, history, facts.

This website have iligal metirials according to Sri Lankan Constitution , And only display's views of tamils & LTTE. So we can't beleve a word in this.LTTE is getting more powerfull all the same now blaming for a gost third party, We are not fools to beleve this . Mr. webmaster u will not display this message , but u can't keep this too long the sinhala people will win one day

What is this peace ?

the majority of Sinhala community wan't agree for a fedaral solution , They beleve LTTE must destroyed totally for have a longlasting peace. this is not peace it's like a carnival today Prof G.L going to talk with balasinham , what for ? no one knows . The SLMM chief is not doing his job correctly, 25 tamil's belonging to Inteligance brigade in SLA have killed by LTTE, all this leeds to another big mistake of our brutal govenment and we innocent people and securty forces men will pay for that , not GL nor moragada nor SLMM

Peace talks , OK i'ts good but as a Hindu l think this talks won't work,because the

govenment say about a fedaral solution but 75% of sinhala community won't allow it , I agree with them because Sri Lanka is Sinhala Home land our's is india we came from india, And Norway is trying to convert we Hindu Tamils to Cristians that is there main role , So i think these Peace talks are going to fool both sinhala and tamil people in Sri Lanka

My call for all communities. is to trust eachother, we are a nation with lots of strenths, skills We Sri lankans are doing well all over the world.performing so well but not in our own country, The reason is we all had doubts about our future and the countrys. My plea to Ranil is develop the South empower and give them the free hand to do their own deve. plan and then the North. let there be a city like Colombo in Matara. and in Jaffna. and use the correct people.to do the correct job..decide implement and do it fast.NOW

My best wishes to SIHRN. They really need all support as it is a yomans task. It is not only the infrastructure but the people too need re- building. All peaceloving people should support and volunteer atleast a little of their time to impart their professionalism and service. The Religious leaders should take more important part in the peace process. Let us not make this as a business but a service

we like peace very much than others, but please don't let our life's in brutal LTTE 's Hands they are the one's that did the worst damage to the Tamil People in Sri Lanka

"The best course in the interest of the suffering Tamil people of Sri Lanka therefore is for LTTE to be wound up because otherwise Tamil people will suffer and face roadblocks as long as the LTTE is on the scene," said Swamy, a former Indian law minister. "the might

of India, moral and material, is available to Sri Lanka if the LTTE took any precipitate action unilaterally" and broke off the peace talks. if Sri Lanka ever sought military help from India, "two divisions of the Indian Army and a squadron of the Indian Air Force" would be stationed in Colombo.

I am 100% supportive of the Govt and the peace process. However I feel that the Govt is bending over backwards to appease the LTTE. Colombopage reported today that the LTTE may pull out of the peace talks as they were not invited to the washington donor conference today. I hope the govt keeps them out of such coferences as the LTTE are not a sovereign state. What if other political parties ask to attend donor conferences?

LTTE courts:"LTTE has implemented its court system through threat of force. LTTE has demanded all Tamil civilians to stop using the governments judicial system.LTTE judges have no legal training and its courts operate without codified or defined legal authority and essentially operates as agents of the LTTE rather than as an

independent judiciary.LTTE courts impose severe punishment including execution and the LTTE also hold a number of political prisoners.LTTE refuses to allow the ICRC to access these prisoners. It alleges that the LTTE routinely invaded the privacy of citizens, by maintaining an effective network of informants.LTTE has executed injured soldiers in battlefields."

Webmaster reserves the right not to publish any of the views and/or comments sent."That meens u only publish comments from brutal LTTE tererists isn't it"

Dear readers and editor,

I learn that many people are sad to see this web page is orchestrating and abetting ethnic violence ie. george cahracter promoting the hatred and not love and ahimsa, the core values of buddihism to all lankans.Please accept critisism, comments and suggestions to make a democratic society in sri lanka. Other wise the path to destruction is inevitable in SL.

Thabks

LTTE terror in the east, Soldier shot, a clash between members of VARADANS' group and LTTE members - Grenade attack kills two and injures eight, Civilians in hospital assaulted - an LTTE member namely RANJITH attached to the LTTE office in BATTICALOA had assaulted them by hand and cables, Eight private buses taken by LTTE, private bus owners were summoned to the LTTE political office in BATTICALOA an been taken off eight private buses for LTTE use, Hand grenade hurled at EPDP office caused damage to the office building. Interesting election campaign of LTTE, who will vote freely for them?

LTTE-TULF talks: LTTE wants TULF to act allways according to the Vanni leadership, and thus loosing its independece. No wonder that the TULF leader goes to Australia. Maybe he will be the next on LTTE's killing list. Fishermen beaten by LTTE: According to the victims, they claimed that they were beaten by those LTTE men using long cables before they were threatened and chased out from the area, saying not to re-visit that area since the LTTE has declared it a 'no-entry area' for fishermen. (LTTE NAVYBASE?) LTTE uses same tactics, they used to blame the SLN for similar actions.

LTTE criminal-leader Velupillai Prabhakaran has personally directed his political committee to boycott the biggest donor conference.Many now ask if Prabakharan and the Tamil Tigers are ready to learn this lesson and change their ways, as Washington orders. The LTTE is accused for alleged abductions and the levying of protection money from residents. EPRLF leader threatened-RASIAH THURAIRATHNAM, three LTTE criminals threatened him.THANGAWELU JAYASEELAM of THALANKUDA was assaulted by LTTE criminals.(IYAH, PUDUVEL and CHANDRAN.)Motor bicycle snatched by LTTEcriminals. LTTEcriminal RAJEEVAN assaulted M.A. YODI SAGAMA. FREE TAMILEELAM from LTTEcriminals!!!

LTTE's view to other tamil political parties: you do what we say or be killed. "The EPDP reports to SLMM, accusing LTTE for the murder of its members.The body of Amirthalingam Rasan, was discovered in a toilet pit.According to EPDP S.Thavarajah,

LTTE warned Rasan to leave the EPDP or face the consequences." Baticaloa: A staunch political activist of ex-TELO has been threatened with death by three armed LTTE cadres who arrived at his residence in the general area of KALLADY. LTTE steals motorbike, owners house has been vandalized by LTTE 's JEGATHEESAN and several others.Mafia methods: The LTTE is known for that.

LTTE a criminal gang? "A group of LTTE men, at SUDAHARAN's house ordered him to open his house but the occupant SUDAHARAN flatly refused. LTTE assailants then broke open all doors and windows of the house and damaged all the glass windows. The LTTE group led by JEGATHEESAN for reasons known only to them comitted these crimes. Balasinghams fantasies:"During my recent visit to Killinochchi, a group of soldiers from the deep penetration unit had planned an attack on Mr. Pirapaharan assuming that he would be visiting me. The group aborted their plan and escaped."Only Prabakaran's death will bring peace to Srilanka.

Analysts point to two threats to the peace process the LTTE and Kumaratunga. Given the LTTE's history of walking out of talks, its militarist nature and its commitment to an

independent state and armed struggle to achieve it, few have faith that the Tigers will accept a political settlement to the conflict. Skeptics maintain that the LTTE is taking what it can from the negotiations and will go back to the battlefield at an opportune time. If the international donors' contribution is affected, the resettlement and rehabilitation would be delayed.

Unlike the Srilankan government, the LTTE is not in need of funds for development, since development is not its primary goal, or raison d'etre.It is fighting for the independence of "Tamil Eelam".The LTTE is not in any desperate need to continue the peace talks either, because war is its favoured technique to achieve its goal. But the government needs the peace process to go on. And to keep on track, it has to keep the LTTE at the negotiating table, virtually at any cost."(Hindustantimes) The result achieved at the peacetalks, show that the LTTE is not giving in to anything.

i think the resent peace talks going possible way . the norwegian and two parties(ltte and colmbogive a good resbonse for give to the recent peace talks. so defenetley in futer sri lanka is a developed and peaceful srilanka

Free election in LTTE areas a farce? Qutations of 'Sri Lanka: In the Tigers Belly': "In Mallavi we were asking about peoples attitudes about civilian casualties, whether they thought the LTTE was corrupt, or whether they would like to see other parties compete with the LTTE in a democratic election. Most people refused to respond.As talks have progressed, the LTTE continues to recruit child soldiers, to kidnap teenagers and force them to join the cadres. The LTTE often used peace negotiations to buy time to rearm and regroup. When the money began drying up, the LTTE became more amenable to

negotiation."

"The LTTE has a large role to play with regard to creating an atmosphere of peace and normal life in the entire Northern region so that people would have the freedom to visit their lands as they did prior to incidents of violence."(Rauff Hakkeem) We muslins have no trust in LTTE and its leader Prabakaran. History records show that we have been used by the LTTE and the GOSL to achieve their political-gains nothing has changed. We need a seperate unit independent from the LTTE administration, to live our culture and

practice our business affairs without restrictions of selfish politics.

I visited Vanni and Kilinochi with my daughter on 26th/march/03.We were appaled at the condition of this place.It has no piped water and electricity for the past io or more years. There is no medical services at all.The elderly are dying for want of medical attention. No efficient primary health care/mch/sanitation etc.School buildings are without proper roof and walls. children are made to study on the floors.teachers complain they do not have any software. Children long distance barefooted to come to school. Occasional transport is the local tractor.I can go on listing the terrible state of affairs. My daughter and I cried at the miseries of the

The government must give arms to muslims in the east to defend themselfs against LTTE killers, abductors and extortioners. Muttur incident shows that unarmed Muslims have no chance against armed LTTE. Victims were mostly muslims only very few tamils. Now peacetalks are canceled and Muslim rights further ignored by LTTE, empty promises of giving farmland back. Muslims can never live in peace with LTTE. LTTE's word about "our muslim brothers" are just political progaganda. Their view of "muslim brothers" was clearly seen in Mutur. Send more army to muslim-areas for a LTTE free zone and protect our villiges, culture and economy.

Defence-specialists expect the LTTE to push the hard line on April 24 to see how much SriLankans will yield. A decision to boycott the peace talks on April 29 depend on the April24 meeting. While the LTTE wants to gain recognition for its seperate state, its Navy, its army its policeforce its bank its courts and ... The Srilankan government should better cancel the peacetalks in Thailand than to give in to the unreasonable demands. The Governent has to demand the LTTE to open its area for the Government to work. The donor conference is for a unitedSriLanka and not for Tamileelam.

Balasingam does not recognise Srilankan armed forces in Jaffna.Tens of thousands of government troops continue to occupy our (not Srilankas but TAMILEELAM) towns, cities and residential areas suffocating the freedom of mobility or our people. Such a massive military occupation (sounds like foreign troops equal to IPKF)of Tamil lands, particularly in Jaffna densely populated district - during peace times denying the right of our displaced people to return to their homes, is unfair and unjust. The LTTE is not willing to lay down arms for a peacefull solution but demanding the the SLA to leave Jaffna, is unfair and unjust.

Signs stand for war in Srilanka. Recent news about the LTTE's pullout from the Peacetalks, and donor meeting are not good. Recent defence reports equally show, that the LTTE is preparing for war, because a youth escaped from the LTTE cluches reports, that he was forced labour to build bunkers. Muslim fishermen were shot at by LTTE and warned not to fish in LTTE areas. The LTTE seems to have regrouped and rearmed enough during the ceacefire and is ready to launch the next attack. On sea or land is open, but it would definitely mean the end of peactalks.

Get lost u UNP lot go home

U donkeys , trying to get peace fraom terrorists, now what???????.u let thousends of our soldiers in denger. the priminister must handover his job and go home

We told unp gov" about the tigers , now see what they have done so please stop this peace and save our island from tigers

The LTTE criticised the government over its economic development strategy to reconstruct the Tamil nation saying, "The government's 'Regaining Sri Lanka' document completely lacks any form of identified goals for the northeast. Statistics presented for substantiating the policy totally ignore the northeast and solely concentrate on southern Sri Lanka," Mr. Balasingham said. As long as the LTTE ocupies large parts of SriLanka where there reigns a Governments hand off policy, how can the government plan the developpment of these areas. In fact the LTTE just wants the money from to goverment to build its own state.

The temporary withdrawal of the LTTE and their letter should be taken at face value. The real issues on the table should be resolved. Its not the time for the forces to be alerted as the LTTE is itself convinced that peace is better than fighting.

Selliah Puvanendran, who is believed to be a member of the Sri Lanka Army (SLA) volunteer force, was found dead in Thunnalai, Point Pedro, with hands tied, mouth stuffed with clothes and cut injuries in his neck. The deceased had worked in the SLA volunteer force. An authorization card issued by SLA identifying him as a member of the army volunteer was found in his possession. So it is clear, that the LTTE after seeing this card, looked at him as traitor to the tamil question and killed him.

The tiger organisation TEEDOR imposes its law in Government areas. TEEDOR imposes restrictions in felling Jaffna trees. Cutting down trees excavation of stones and hauling large amounts of sand and clay will require special permission from the district co-ordinater on recommendation from village officer, said Gnanavel, head of Jaffna district Tamil Eelam Economic Development Organization (TEEDOR). Agricultural representatives complained that high prices due the local taxes on tobacco like products are serving as a barrier to Jaffna traders to market these products in the South. The LTTE is everywhere in Jaffa's ruling bodies and people pay their taxes to 2 governments.

LTTE instigated youth burn singalese house in tamil village. Monoetnic LTTE propaganda results in chasing singhalese out of tamil villages, so also singalese army out of Jaffna. If singalese think the same and start chasing off all tamils in singalese areas from Mountlavina to Puttlam then there would be another problem of IDP's. Tamil tigers are not a bit better than the srilankan army. On LTTE's hands sticks the blood of singalese, tamils and muslims. The tigers do not want peace among all communtities, they want a tamil-nation, tamil-homeland, tamil-police, tamil-bank tamil-courts tamil-navy tamil-army tamil-time. Is theword Srilanka only for non-tamils??

If there is an agreement between LTTE and the Srilankan government and the NE administration is handed over to the tigers, then "union territories" like in India should be created in the NE comprising the muslim areas and villages in the Nordeast, without interference of the LTTE, but directly controlled and ruled by the central governement. Only this way clashes like in Mutur could be prevented and LTTE control restricted on muslim areas.

Peace process is like train.There are politicians,traders,students,thiefs,workers,priests, tourists,men,women, children onboard.It will stop in stations. Some get off and get on but final destination is one.Driver and guard are key players to take the train to final destination. Driver should focus on track. Guard should give proper signal.If they do not cordinate and coorporate,train will not reach its destination.Most of the passengers will travel upto the destination. Final destination is peace.PM is driver. President is guard. Peace loving people are passengers who will remain till the final destination.Others like JVP will get off and get onfor their own benefits but PM andPresident should maintain target.They willgo down in history.

Journalists said the Tigers have disrupted electricity and phone lines and will not allow technicians to repair them. Mr. Arullah said that despite the presence of the Sri Lankan Army, the Tigers used to come to kill people and loot the village. He said there was no food in the shops and people could not go far to find food because of threats from the Tigers. "They hide under bushes and shoot people indiscriminately," he said, adding that a Muslim who had gone for a bath in a nearby stream had been killed and decapitated." Where is the LTTE-Muslim peace?

Now is the time to speak not about the recognition of the seetigers but about the disbanding or disolving of this unit. Only such a steps are moving towards peace. All other talks or even recognition would only strenghten the warforce of the LTTE, which has to give up anyway its weapons and be integrated in a united Srilankan armedforce or united Srilankan navy if peace is achieved. Anything beyond that is not negotiable. Up to now the government has given in to the tigers demands. Now the tigers have to give in to government demands to achieve peace.

We fully agree with your comments

Ha Ha Ha ...............

Where's peace in GL's Pocket or Milinders diary, Get lost u people U wan't get peace from our leader prabakaran I waned u not to beleve him , only innocent Tamil and Sinhala People will surfer from what u did, Where latest comments (only april 03)???????

The LTTE leadership Monday had informed the Sri Lankan government that it had decided to suspend its participation in the negotiations for the time being citing its deep displeasure over certain critical issues relating to the ongoing peace process. All meetings have been suspended by the tigers to undefinite time. It looks like the tigers want all their demands fullfilled, to be brought back for negotiation. Now Norway has to convince the GOSL to give in. If nothing happens after a LTTE set timeframe, the tigers will return to war, because the negotiations have not brought the desired results. Poor tamilpeople!

Is it not interesting that 2 days after the tigers announced the suspension of the peacetalks, that they give details of their successfull battle at elephant pass on their webside. One might speculate, that they want to make their supporters and other tamils believe, that they have the means to solve the tamil nationalquestion in the usual way, by military warfare. Actually they had enough time to reorganize themselfs, inspect the government positions, study its weaknesses to plan another major asslult with successful results. Peacetalks did not show any change of attitude in the LTTE leadership.

Tamil businessman hacked to death by LTTE. Initial investigations revealed that the victim has reportedly refused to pay ransom to LTTE in connection with his business. Two LTTE cadres have robbed a new unregistered motorcycle belonging to a Muslim civilian, he was waylaid pointing a pistol at him by two LTTE cadres. Two LTTE cadres engaged in video-filming a section of the Main Supply Route, the film videoed by LTTE men contained pictures of troops deployment on either side of the road. When will the LTTE finaly transform itself into a political party and stop such crimes? Is this peace?

Since the commencement of the conflict, the Provincial Councils system, created after the Indo-Lanka Accord, is the only constitutional progress made. The LTTE rejected this as "inadequate" and ironically, the elected Councils function all over the island, except the Tamil-majority north and east, for which they were originally intended. Because the LTTE killed its representives, put pressure on its members to follow LTTE guidlines, sabotaging the institution and made it meaningless, because it had demacratic structures, and was not autoritarian LTTE rule.

LTTE's pullout from the peacetalks is like a small child crying in a supermarket to get something the mother doesnt want to buy. The child will make a big fuss, people will look at them and at last the mother feels shame and buys the thing. But the Srilankan government should not give in to this extortional methods of the LTTE. So far the LTTE has not made a single move towards a united Srilanka, but during the ceasefire has made facts on the ground and cemented its position. Now it wants recognition for that. But LTTE must make a fullturn.
