The people who cry at the top of their voices and shows a concern about the current situation in Sri Lanka should understand few basic facts about this conflict
LTTE ( Liberation Tigers of Tamil Elam ) is a ruthless terrorist organization
LTTE (Tamil Tigers) is classified as the most ruthless terrorist organization in the world by none other than the FBI .LTTE pioneered the use of suicide bombs .They forcibly recruit child soldiers and killed civilians numbering to thousands including the Tamils and Tamil leaders. Including two world leaders a Prime minister of India Hon. Rajiv Gandhi & a president of Sri lanka HE.R Premadasa .They have ethnically cleansed the northern part of Sri lanka of Muslims & Sinhalese by killing entire villages including children & infants. this are a mere tip of the grave human crimes they committed in their pursuit of their dream of a mono ethnic homeland, this led to LTTE being proscribed in USA, Canada, EU , India Sri lanka and several other countries
LTTE fund their military campaign through forcible collection of taxes from Tamil people in western countries specially in UK, Canada & Australia. this lead the respective governments to investigate and freeze assets of bogus charity organizations such as WTO( World Tamil Organization), TRO (Tamil Rehabilitation Organization) further LTTE runs several illigal operations including international drug & weapons smuggling, Human trafficking credit card frauds and several operatives are already convicted by the legislative offices of those respective countries.

Claims of Genocide
There is no genocide in Sri Lanka as more than 2.3 Mn of the Tamils live with the other communities with out any problem in Sri Lanka (census 2001.page 10) (The census was not possible in the LTTE held area in 2001) ironically the tamil citizens live alongside other communities in all the districts in sri lanka
but it is the other communities who were chased away from mullative, killinochchi & manna districts which were under the control of the LTTE and these districts were ethnically cleansed by the LTTE of Sinhalese Muslims and other communities this is the real situation. There is no ethnic cleansing or genocide against Tamils in Sri Lanka it is the other communities which were affected .refer the statistics of 1981 census
The Tamil civilians in the LTTE held areas escape at the first given chance to the government controlled areas.If the Sri lankan army is accused of genocide isn’t it obvious that Tamils will not come towards the army but all these people in their thousands run towards the party accused of their genocide not at the self proclaimed savior (LTTE) this defies all rational thinking and logic isn’t it .And ample evidence of this was shown to the diplomatic community on the 20-04-2009 through a live feed from a UAV(Unmanned Ariel Vehicle ) at the SLAF control room

The other claim is concentration camps are run by the army and that the civilians in these camps are not allowed free movement. and often these camps are compared to the concentration camps of the nazi era in Germany. if you take the literal meaning of a concentration camp yes these are concentration camps as only displaced Tamil civilians are housed here. The reason is there were no civilians of other communities to be displaced by the on going offensive against the terrorist in the three districts under terror control namely Mannar, mulllative, killinochchi other communities were chased away or killed by the LTTE decades ago., but the what I want to stress here is that normally when we here about concentration camps the picture we get is death camps of the nazi Germany during world war 2 .so in that sense it is very sad and a misrepresentation of facts if the welfare camps run by the government of Sri Lanka are referred to as concentration camps and its an injustice to the government who takes what ever possible measures to provide the essentials to these Internally displaced people(IDP).The conditions may not be the perfect but these civilians are far better than under LTTE control and where ever possible the government is trying to provide a family unit with a single shelter unit.
The other claim is these people are not allowed free movement outside. Let me ask a question these people were under the LTTE for almost three decades and LTTE never allowed these civilians free movement in to government held areas for three decades so now where can they go
The other reason is whether we like it or not some of these people are hard core LTTE carders in civilian clothing (sleeper cells of terrorists awaiting orders to activate) hence the security of the rest of the country is also of paramount importance therefore with out proper screening by the Military intelligence & counter terror units these people are not allowed to leave these camps till clearance is given.

The other baseless claim is the government is planning to hold these civilians in the camps for an indefinite time period. The areas liberated from terror clutches are now being demined once the de-mining is completed and the all clear signal is given the civil administration is restored these civilians will be allowed to go to their villages the point I like to stress here is the resettlement of the eastern province and the government has resettled all displaced people from the area with in an year.
Sri Lankas’ War on Terror
The current military campaign by the Democratically elected Sri Lankan government is to eradicate terrorism and to establish government control over the terrorist held areas of Sri lanka and 99%is already cleared .The present crisis is triggered because the LTTE is holding the civilians forcibly at gun point and tries to use them as a human shield against the advancing military and they consistently fire their guns hiding among the civilians. Inside the government declared no fire zone(NFZ) for the protection of the civilians. Now the entire remaining terrorists including their psychopath leader Velupillai paribaharan ( A wanted criminal in india & Sri Lanka )has moved in to the NFZ converting the NFZ in to a hostage zone Now the government of Sri Lanka is facing a hostage release situation and all diplomatic efforts to get the civilians released by the LTTE has failed as the LTTE know the moment they let the civilians go the Sri Lankan Military would crush them with in hours as now they are cornered to an area of apx 12 square km
Srilankan military in a daring rescue mission released half of the civilians few days ago you could see live videos of this taken through UAVs of the Sri Lankan Air Force and the Sri Lanka government Showed these video strems live to the diplomatic community at the Sri Lanka Air Force Headquarters at the time of the operation please visit - hostage rescue operation in Sri lanka

Then why is the huge cry by diaspora Tamils
NGOs & INGO are restricted from accessing the conflict zone
Most of the NGOs INGOs and Human rights organizations were accused of giving material aid and technology to LTTE and there is enough evidence of these and im sure once the military operation is over the government of Sri Lanka will made public the findings of the on going investigations as loads of evidence are unearthed as the military conducts search and clear operations in the areas they have captured.
All though these aid agencies (Some) collect funds for the welfare of these people nothing has being done in these areas these are the realities we found as the millitary gained control over village by village of the terrorist held areas so naturally there will be lot of explaining to do by these INGOs so as to the end use of funds.There was a parliamentary select committee appointed recently to make recommendations to the government of the operations of INGOs & NGOs and an interview with the chairman of the committee can be seen here

It is acknowledged that these organizations do not support terrorism as a policy however it is also a fact that LTTE has infiltrated these organization through local staff as no other person can work in the LTTE held areas hence it is no surprise that information which these organizations receive are doctored and filtered through LTTE operatives who work for these organizations to suite the agenda of the LTTE
Even the claims by the UN,WFP BBC of shelling hospitals & he use of cluster bombs by SLAF ( Sri Lanka Air force) and deployment of chemical weapons were shown to be a hoax initiated by bogus propaganda of the LTTE as the government showed photographic and video evidence of hospitals claimed to be bombed and it is a known fact the SLDF( Sri lanka Defense forces doesn’t posses neither of these weapon types nor the delivery systems capable of deploying them in to the theater of war. im sure the media who reported these did not give enough or adequate publicity to the counter claims or evidence to justify the bogus nature of these claims in order to save their face
Allegations proven wrong but no publicity given by the international media/press to save their face
Canada,UK,Australia ,France protest rallies
Protesters were carrying the flag of LTTE a banned organization in these countries except in Australia yet police did not take any action only the French police had the guts to take any effective action rest of the spineless police forces looked on while the terror sympathizers support openly for a known terrorist organization .only one question remains to be asked will al qaeda sympathizers would be allowed to do the same.
Most of the rallies held in capitals of western countries are to safe guard the LTTE not the civilians as non of these protestors not even a single one of them asked or demanded that the LTTE should let the civilians go .Further when half of the civilians are rescued by the Sri Lankan Military the protestors should be the happiest and should rally around to give the basic supplies to these displaced people .Now not a mummer from them it is the Sri Lankan Government and the general public(including the Sinhalese who are accused of mistreating Tamils ) that takes care of them now

Who are these Tamil protesters most are economic refugees who used the situation in Sri Lanka to get asylum status and most have their applications pending end of conflict in Sri Lanka is end of their reason to be in these western countries. These are the people who protest and make a huge cry
Yes the government does not allow any reporters to go in to the NFZ as it cannot guarantee the safety of the reporters only embedded reporters are their with the military isn’t this the norm with any military operation. But there are ICRC and the Christian aid organization caritas working with the government to distribute food inside the NFZ.Oh thats right this food is supplied by the Government of Sri Lanka knowing very well that the LTTE terrorist are using the bulk of these.(This was authenticated and verified by the civilians who are returning to the govt areas.)
Civilian casualties,
In any war there would be civilian casualties .Can any body name a single war with out civilian casualties and it is the unfortunate situation .But when compared to the other theaters of conflict Sri Lankan conflict can be stated as the one with the minimum number of civilian casualties due to the Sri Lankan forces adopted policy of zero civilian casualties. Following are statistics from Iraq & Afghanistan people who preaches Sri Lanka should practice what they preach.,

Following are statistics from Iraq & Afghanistan people who preaches Sri Lanka should practice what they preach.,
having said that civilian casualties cannot be justified in any conflict .Then a reasonable question to ask is what are the pictures and videos shown by civilians killed in pro LTTE media .It should be noted that LTTE combatant are not known to ware the LTTE uniforms when they confront the government forces they come in civilian attire the difference is they wield a gun .even underage children and women are used by LTTE for combat .(These are verified and substantiated facts)Once they are killed and the gun is removed what evidence is there to call them combatant and magically the dead body becomes a civilian and the aid agencies and other NGOs are shown these dead bodies of course they look like civilians but the truth is far from the reality . SLDF dosenot always release pictures of combatant killed but in few instances they have go through them and see how many are in civilian cloths. this is the bitter truth behind the civilian casualty story .hence the actual number of civilian casualties are exaggerated SLDF doesn’t intentionally target civilians.
Let Sri Lanka finish its war on terror and the truth will prevail in the end .The government of Sri Lanka is taking the maximum possible precautions due to civilian presence if not the remaining area would be overrun by the Sri Lankan Forces within hours. So please don't get mis leaded by the propaganda of terror sympathizers and be a stake holder to bring misery to Sri Lanka we have had enough for thirty years due to idiotic meddling in to internal affairs of Sri Lanka by interested foreign parties. enough is enough let Sri lanka defeat terrorism and let peace be dawned on this beautiful island this is the request of all peace loving people of Sri Lanka
Good work bro.. keep it up!
