The US, European countries and Australia must immediately begin an investigation into the fortunures amassed by some of the tamil diaspora members.Some have assets over $10 to 20 million, while not having had a job, or a profession. Some of their family members are living in luxury, jet set on holidays, have opulent weddings and given their daughers millions of dollars worth of assets as dowries. They must thank Prapakaran for life!

Sun Goat started killing the Tamils first, tying them to lamp posts in Jaffna. He is killing the Tamils again. He will continue to offer every single Tamil on the alter of his ruthless wish to enjoy power. That is all he wants. He was sick for a long time. He is now beyond cure. All that can help Tamils who have lost so much during the last several years is for the Sun Goat to swallow the cynide, if he actually has one. He is the biggest curst which has been brought on the Tamils, everywhere. The Tamil Diaspora does not exist. Those who agitate have been coerced to walk the streets and hand over money. And there are clever members of this so calle diaspora who have amassed fotunures, with houses in London, Paris, New York and Malaysia.

Sri-lankan Government had every right to ask the Civlians to Move to the Safety Zone. But Let me explain about the Safety Zone, it is about 8 mile long and 2miles wide it is so close to the Ocean so there is not many Wells, U can not Dig for Septic and has very few Vegetation And There is not many Buildings.

Asking 150,000 People to live there for more than a few days itself is Cruel Punishment. Ltte And Gosl Must do some thing Very Quickly. Every tamil and Singalese must Make sure that people don’t live on tents for long time.

This Tme I would Like to Recall a Wedding I attened in a village called Amabalavan Pokanai back in the Early eighties, after the wedding my first question for my parents was when we will be leaving. The Place is Now Located in the Safety Zone.

Well done DBS, there is so much we laymen do not know. It is important for all sri lankans to see all perspectives of the problem. It is only then that we will awake from this prolonged apathy

Unlike previous wars (anti-tamil riots), this war is happenning in internet era. The whole world knows how Sinhalese Buddhists are behaving.
I see many srilankans in the west saying they are ‘indians’.

Firstly Vanni people has no right to support a terrorist organisation. So they have to come out if they want to live a life.

Secondly, most of the families I know did not realize the consequences when they went behind the LTTE. Many more families were not allowed to leave to go to Vavuniya or even to Jaffna . There is a small population which cannot go anywhere other than behind the LTTE because they are hard core LTTE members who have earned the enemity of the Tamils all these days. So they have to hide behind the LTTE guns.

Vanni people support the tigers wholeheartedly and DO NOT WANT to go & live under the govt camps despite losing family & lot more….why do you think they were kept moving with the tigers when army was advancing…they could have one to Vavuniya or other govt controlled areas if they wanted to then.
