Muralitharan Bio Pic And The Storm In Tamil Nadu

The United Nations had a pretty clear idea of what was happening in the killing fields of Sri Lanka during the bloody climax of civil war. Yet it suppressed or diluted that information, utterly failing in its core mission of protecting civilians.
UN itself made the admission
the UN — unlike the International Committee of the Red Cross — had abandoned the Vanni region as the war escalated, and purposely avoided revealing casualty figures collated by its staff in Colombo. Even when issuing the woefully minimized numbers, it deliberately omitted mentioning what it incontrovertibly knew: the majority of civilian casualties were caused by Sri Lanka’s military forces, primarily inside government-declared safe zones, as well as attacks against hospitals. But the UN cast blame solely on the Tigers.
Colombo withheld and withdrew visas for foreign staff as a means of controlling the message; several resident co-ordinators — the UN’s senior officials in the country — were either declared persona non grata or were threatened with it. Government-friendly media published “false and intimidating allegations” against staff. “Moreover, the UN’s computer system, emails and telephones were understood to be entirely compromised by external surveillance.”
With the shelling of a 58-truck UN food convoy in January 2009, they had first-hand evidence that the army was firing into designated no-fire zones.




all these are from neutral international media.

Can you provide proof for this??

 

No one here is telling you which side you have to take. In fact it is you who is stating that we are not taking the correct side. Please read your post and responses properly. I dont support the war either. War isn't a solution for anything. But the sole ownership of what happened cant be pinned on the ltte. What's rightfully theirs weren't provided and hence the war was initiated. How much ever you deny thats the truth. Throughout your post you are trying to downplay the role of the main accused. And oh please seeman is trolled by the tamil media equally. No one in the right mind will take him seriously much less basing our arguments on his speeches. Any wrong has to be confronted with truth and not with the fear of inviting someone's wrath. The peace achieved thereby is nothing but an illusion. When a child gets bullied by another child it has various options to teach him a lesson or expose him or keep quiet so he won't get beaten up again. But telling the child to not react or teaching it that it deserves the bullying or making it believe that bullying never happened and its only in its mind is not ensuring peace by any stretch. Sure some people may take that option. They are free to do so but let them not preach others that opression never happened and hence the fight was unnecessary or downplay the oppressors role by quoting that the victim has oppressed another party and its perfectly fine that the oppressor takes advantage of the situation and washes his hand off. I have nothing to offer you if you wish to be in denial. Any form of oppression is wrong. Yes hilly area tamilians were not accepted by the srilankan tamilians. That could and should have been mended but quoting that to hide the atrocities of the srilankan govt is insufferable. You can believe what you want but don't tell others that they haven't gotten their facts right just because theirs dont co incide with what you choose to believe.

 

Exactly sugar coating is the problem in this whole post and the truth is till date equality is nothing but a dream for the tamils there right from education to job. Being in fools paradise is no solution.

 

Bitter realities.

 

you too
