The ethnic cleansing of Tamils in Northern and predominantly eastern provinces of Sri Lanka not barring the Tamils in Colombo, the Hill Country Tamils and Tamil citizens in south and western areas of Sri Lanka is a dark history for the victims and survivors yearning an end to their misery, marginalization, disenfranchisement, exploitation endured in generational suffering. 

That time has arrived now for Tamils seeking Tamil Eelam which is essentially a free independent sovereign statehood as Tamil Desam.

The Tamils’ State along the Northern, Eastern and Hill Country Tamils in the central highlands identifying themselves as Tamil community emancipation is long overdue.

The severely oppressed Tamils have long been striving for basic rights, equal opportunity to education, employment, health care, safety and security and equality of justice barring prejudice – the treatment imposed as the fate on the subjugated tamils in the island nation. 

The Tamil Desam in the Tamil Eelam freedom movement would enshrine and encompass the fundamental human rights to life, dignity, progress and prosperity for all inhabitants in the newly established Tamil state. 

In the modern age, the oppression and violations of human rights denying the people due respect as human beings in realizing their hope and dreams in life similar to those enjoying the same and more in the same nation and other parts of the independent world is gross injustice and against any human values. 

The Tamils in Sri Lanka continue to experience the excruciating plight together with the current political and economic crisis in the island. 

Tamil Desam is the resolution to Tamil Eelam struggles having lost nearly 2 million lives in ethnic genocide since the onset of Tamil alienation and segregation in Sri Lanka.

The civil war and thereafter the state conducted summary execution of unarmed Tamil civilians not even sparing children as young as nine, ten and eleven year old Tamil boys who were all seated in a row with their hands tied on their back and blind folded while the Sri Lankan military personnel were ordered to shoot them point blank at close range by then and currently deposed Rajapaksa regime.

The shootings were carried out with authority and international immunity. 

The horrendous killings of Sri Lankan Tamils is not a mere history rather systemic extermination of a race despite nativity.

Notwithstanding the Tamil young girls and women not barring pregnant mothers were raped, maimed and mutilated with horrifying images staring at the world during the preventable native residents’ pogrom. 

The brutal heinous crime committed by Mahinda Rajapaksa and Gotabaya Rajapaksa on international watch is no lesser of atrocities against humanity. 

The manner in which such brutality and savagery was authorized and executed by Rajapaksa regime with political impunity raise legitimate questions on human civilizations’ silence and tolerance to barbarism exemplified in actions beneath human nature. 

The holocaust against Jewish descendants was countered and compensated with numerous military, political, legal and economic settlement that continues unabated until now. 

The Nuremberg trial prosecuting and convicting those involved in the holocaust became the natural process. 

Reinstating that holocaust since then and before has been the norm against many segments, ethnic groups, demography, tribes and communities world over. 

Nonetheless, the perpetrators of crimes in such abhorrent violence and violations are not necessarily subject to the same extent of international law and condemnation as expected in any civilized lawful society subscribing to fairness and impartiality. 

There is always a possibility to charter course setting new precedence in exempting none above law and trials for abuse of power in authorizing and engagement of mass murder and human rights breach depriving innocent victims survival and sustenance.

The Nuremberg trial equivalent on Rajapaksa regime viz. Mahinda Rajapaksa, Gotabaya Rajapaksa and those involved in Tamil genocide in Sri Lanka is incumbent on international community and justice system to act and deliver justice to the Tamil victims and families persecuted without any recourse in the so-called free world.

Sri Lanka – Political Crisis

October 26, 2018

Sri Lanka – Political Crisis

Padmini Arhant

The latest development in the island nation on the Indian Ocean, Sri Lanka is unnecessary and could further exacerbate political and economic problems for the country.

The current President Maithripala Sirisena abrupt removal of democratically elected Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe over disagreements on economic reforms between the two entities is impulsive besides the action being unconstitutional and undemocratic that could have serious ramifications setting undesirable precedence through such reaction.

Furthermore, President Sirisena reinstating the former President Mahinda Rajapaksa, the most controversial political figure in the Indian Sub-Continent for his role in the civil war and gross human rights violations committed in the course of military assault on unarmed civilians i.e. Tamil citizens in Tamil Eelam and Jaffna leading to ethnic cleansing is reprehensible.

The former President Rajapaksa having lost the Presidency and parliamentary elections in 2015, the ex-President legacy marred with atrocities, war crimes, corruption not barring murder of political opponents were to be brought on trial by the present President Sirisena.

In fact, President Sirisena pledged to hold the former President Rajapaksa accountable in 2015. The hard line and iron fist ruler Rajapaksa who was also the military commander was directly involved in genocide of Tamil population during the 2009 operation. The recent turnaround of events with foes becoming friends viz. President Sirisena inviting his not long ago political opponent Rajapaksa subverts democratic system to suit individual political aspirations in Colombo.

Importantly, the constitutional amendment passed in 2015 removed the president’s power to fire or sack the prime minister. The decision to oust the incumbent Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe by the current President Maithripala Sirisena despite the elimination of Presidential power in this regard is clearly a constitutional breach that calls for resignation of the President Maithripala Sirisena.

The ousted Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe headed United National Party and allies being the majority remain the ruling party.  Accordingly, the expulsion of the sitting Prime Minister Wickremesinghe by President Sirisena is illegal not to mention the replacement of the post with the political member Mahinda Rajapaksa facing several criminal charges both in the domestic and international front details the state of affairs and mass abuse of power in the Presidential level.

Sri Lanka having experienced civil war lasting over decades resulting in tremendous loss of lives on all sides and subsequently deep economic struggles combined with financial woes creating sale of Hambantota national port to China are substantial and deserves immediate resolutions. Amid these severe economic challenges, the bitter confrontations within political system endanger democracy in Sri Lanka.

Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe headed political party and allies elected to govern the nation are the legitimate power and the Presidential coup against the government is condemnable. As such the partisanship favoring the failed ex-President Mahinda Rajapaksa is unsustainable.

The former President Mahinda Rajapaksa should be brought to justice for destruction of Sri Lanka in every respect and not empowered with the prime minister post.

Sri Lankan en masse together with legislative body and Judiciary rising to the occasion to restore democracy and upholding constitution is paramount to rescue the nation from wanton political crisis.

Thank you.
