The execution methods of innocent lives were more or less similar to the Japanese atrocities in Chinese town Nanking. The chief difference is, Japanese used swords and bayonets to kill Chinese civilians and Sinhalese used machine guns, cluster bombs, poison gas, mortars, tanks and rifles, shoulder launchers, multi barrel rockets etc., The shouting and screaming of the innocent victims, who were nothing to do with the state sponsored ethno related violence, left unheard. The suffering of common people continues till this day even after the ruling mass heads proudly boasted last year that they had won the ‘war’ against the ‘terrorists’. In fact the state conducted a war against the minority Tamils for more than half a century in which the country had lost most valuable lives of both Tamils and Sinhalese. No country reacted in support of the languishing Tamil civilians in detention centres and in prisons without proper enquiry, food, shelters and medical facilities. A recent villainous humour of the president is that he has plans for instilling unity among Tamils and Sinhalese through getting the Tamil girls married to Sinhalese.
The Sinhalese government has not allowed any organisation whether it be local aid agencies or international agencies, to work inside detention centres without strict screening.
Making detention centres infested with blackmailed Tamil fighters who now working as agents to collect informations of people mentality and individual scanning for persons with notable tiger sympathies, thoughts of civil liberties inside the detention centres and outside. These persons, whether it is a girl or old man, are considered as invulnerable and immediately sent to the specially set up prisons in deep forests of southern island. Gothapaya’s personal elite group dictates the army what and how to neutralise the feelings of innocent tamil prisoners and outside the detention centres, such extermination is done by other militant groups who were once tamed by the tigers. These armed groups are called para militaries and use white vans to kidnap persons either to avenge or to get ransom.
Frequently the Sinhalese led government announces that so many civilians from detention camps were resettled in their native lands which have no proof and the statements cannot be claimed for its validity as such resettlements have not been witnessed by external agencies.
It appears that cultural eradication has almost been complete in North eastern Province. It seems that the UN always prefers a situation for action when all the blood thirst hounds get their complete satisfaction on exterminating every one of their opponent. Year after the final onslaught against the civilians, a war crime tribunal has been announced by the UN against the perpetrators of irresponsible killings to which Sinhalese stubbornly criticised. The tribunal will certainly start to work but it may take another two or three decades to function and another four or five years to complete investigations as it was in the case of Cambodia. To civilise themselves so as to accommodate ethnic Tamils in national mainstream, Sinhalese need go a long way. To think in terms of national unity, they are too underdeveloped to enlighten themselves on how to consolidate the country with four different religions.
Absolute power corrupts absolutely
Rehabilitation of all ex combatants with general amnesty must be done as the war was initiated by the egocentric Sinhalese heads sixty years ago and nurtured by some chauvinists. Now the world knows the history of the conflict in lanka. Tamils are native people of lanka and the Sinhala are settlers which the Sinhalese government has accepted. When democratic means to fight for the rights were ruthlessly wiped out and when honor of tamil women were continuously in danger, Tamil youths had to arm themselves to fight for their honour and their rights. Hence perpetrators of ethnocide were the original violators of peace in the country. Hence, as reparation for the uncountable deaths [it is practically impossible to find out how many Tamil civilians have been dead, especially after 2006, as all the documents maintained by the tigers have been confiscated by the Sinhalese army] Sinhala majority should unconditionally release all the combatants to their families.
India and other European countries were eagerly expected to intervene in the murders of innocent Tamils during last May, 2009. The countries were reluctant so as to get rid of Tamil militancy in the region. They might have causes and reasons for not intervening and rather supporting Sinhalese led violence for the extermination of a particular militant group from lanka. The rival groups have become now dominating force second to the army. Now both the rival groups and the Sinhalese army have become dreadful to the civilians.
Army still needed in Lanka?
We have seen enough of army’s atrocities in the world history. No army has been an exception to this evil disorderliness during any conflicts. Both the armies of allies and axis have resorted to torture and caused millions of death during the Second World War which has been revealed after even now. Vietnam, Cambodia, Burma, china, Germany, Italy, almost all Balkan countries, Russia, African countries, India, Pakistan, Tibet and the list will continue. But this list doesn’t contain federal America, UK, Canada, Australia and Switzerland, Sweden, Dutch etc., because of the reason that they have been more democratic in their countries and honestly honest in their countries’ development.But in Lankan Island, all the elected governments had offered one chief/cheap promise to the electors. Tamils issue- whether offered in open or in concealed, was but chief factor that determined the success of the political parties or alliance of parties that have come to rule. No political party could be ready to share or offer equality and equanimity with the Tamils. They fought a bitter and non sense war with the minority Tamils and the economy of the country was driven to unbearable conditions. Continual defeats of the Army at the hands of tigers had taken a new form that the ‘thoughts of civil liberties’ has been considered as to what ‘Jewish issue’ was to Nazis. The Sinhalese were motivated In impotent rage, the army’s outlet of anger against the Tamil militants had always been ended on the innocent women and children. For the purpose of the exterminating Tamil nationalism, Sinhala thugs were carefully handpicked and absorbed into the army. Sinhalese were not brilliant enough to offer hands of friendliness to Tamils, but they were intelligent enough to get the India removed from intervening in ‘Tamils issue’. They did succeed in that that the India had to lose a valuable political figure and the thousand and odd brilliant soldiers and officers. They didn’t fight theirs but dragged India into their unjust war with the stubborn freedom lovers and thus got the India embarrassed with the followed events. India and tigers had to face losses as both showed virtues of being unyielding and inflexibility in understanding the prevailing realities in the region. Now the militancy against the Sinhalese majority is removed and rival groups are considered by the army as ‘just dummy pieces’ and they are used by the army to establish Sinhala rule in every corner of the north. Moreover, tigers were the only threat to the country in the recent past. Army was born only to resurrect the Tamils freedom sentiments and struggle for civil rights which is now effectively done! Lanka doesn’t face any threat of intrusion or invasion by any country as it is in the Indian Ocean and the nearest country is mother India which is now a ‘friendly country’ to Sinhalese. The lanka is guarded by both India and China assisted by America. Hence there won’t be any necessity to keep an army of thugs even after the eradication of Tamil militants and their freedom sentiments. Keeping an army of thugs will step by step reduce the cultural values of the Tamils to zero in lanka. Hence it would be better to disband the army as India and china would lend their arms in support of Sinhala nationalism anytime. And Tamil militancy in the region has gone forever thanks to the intelligence training offered by the ASEAN countries including India and china under the head of United Nations to the Sinhalese.
