Not only they perform these circus acts, they even bring the buddhist monks into the equation and an insignificant indian film actor to boost their deflated egos.

Then, last week they try these same tricks with a cricket team [eleven tamils from four countries] to turbo boost their desperation but two have already fallen by the wayside.

They say that failures are the pillars of success, they impotents are thick skinned, many times bitten never shy. a j.

Sri Lanka propaganda to eye eash the world and get more funds 🙂

Thanks for a very good article

You are a talented writer, Gypsy.

i. ICRC cannot see the thousands of cadres and suspected cadres in secret locations and still detaining about 80,000 IDPs in camps,
ii. severely restricting aid agents from helping those who have been ”released”,
iii. additional allocation to military spending after the budget in 2009 and maintaining the military budget for 2010 at levels of previous years
iv. immensely increasing militarisation of Northeast Sri Lanka and building a huge military complex in the Vanni and not allowing civilians/journalists access
v. allowing crimes by the army and paramilitary to continue, eg. restriction of movement, extortion, theft, abduction, murder – there has been a series of undue transfers of Tamil Magistrates out of the North.
vi. preventing commemoration of the dead and forcing the people of Northeast to celebrate victory
vii. continuing sinhalisation of Northeast with government help (when Tamils move to the South they go as individuals on their own expenses)
viii. appointment of retired army officials for top administrative jobs in the Northeast
ix. a. indiscriminate mining of sand, limestone and rocks without regard for the delicate geology of Jaffna peninsula and b.the Navy helping Sinhalese fishermen use the internationally banned nets in the seas around the Northeast
x. army running commercial ventures down A9 blocking opportunities for the released and still interned IDPs and army running tourist information centres in Jaffna where floods of tourists from the South are throwing plastic rubbish while Tamils are languishing in camps and open prisons
xi. Tamil parliamentarians are still not allowed into the camps except a few who agreed to be taken to the camp chosen and accompanied by the army
xii. incarceration of journalists and human rights activists criticising the government goes unabated in the South as well as in the Northeast
xiii. Commonwealth Election Monitoring Team gave an unsatisfactory report about the Presidential elections of January 2010 which was brought two years forward to capture the votes of Sinhalese euphoria of the ”victory” over the rebels, but tens of thousands of detainees in the camps didn’t get polling cards and of those who got the cards, many couldn’t get transport. This happened to upcountry Tamils in 2007/8 in provincial elections.
xiv. The office of the Attorney General is now brought under the President’s command. The Minister who was physically and verbally abusing journalists was appointed Media Minister but after a huge shoutdown from the public was removed from it.
xv. The former Attorney general who obstructed the Commission of Inquiry in 2007/8 and who caused the IIGEP to exit the contry unceremoniously is now appointed the Head of the Commission, Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation. …..
