Shenali D Waduge The conflict in Sri Lanka has been described as a non-international armed conflict by the Ban Ki Moon appointed 3 member panel (which is not sanctioned by either the UN Security Council or the UN General Assembly). LTTE is designated globally as a terrorist organization. However there is no legal definition for […]

 Shenali D Waduge  No domestic inquiry should take place before the People of Sri Lanka are told by the UN & the International Community of what actions they will take against the LTTE for the following list of war crimes and Geneva Convention violations given that the organizations/individuals linked to LTTE are now banned under […]

Shenali D Waduge Stop shopping for votes from terrorist-linked groups, and immediately apologize to veterans and all Canadians” – Minister Steven Blaney’s message must be repeated to all Tamil Canadians aspiring to use Tamil voters to enter Canadian Parliament and use that as a platform to work for other agendas. Canadians themselves must now wonder […]

 Shenali D Waduge  Human Rights Watch came out with a 140 page report titled ‘We will teach you a lesson’: Sexual violence against Tamils by Sri Lankan Security Forces” in 2013. HRW’s “untold number of rapes of Tamil men and women in custody” and described as ‘widespread’ and ‘systematic’ were 75 cases committed between 2006-2012 […]

Shenali D Waduge  450 years of foreign invasion & occupation, 133 years of British rule cannot replace 2300 years of Sinhala Buddhist rule but they keep trying and gaining ground too. 67 years of post-independence where former colonies remain tied to and enslaved by colonial systems cannot be allowed to continue the hidden objective of […]

Shenali D Waduge  Fools rush in where angels fear to tread aptly describes the current predicament. On 18th May 2009 LTTE was comprehensively defeated and its leader and key ground leaders were militarily eliminated having refused to lay down arms and surrender despite 3 appeals made by the then Sri Lankan President. Over 11,000 LTTE […]

Shenali D Waduge While the politicians are kept busy fighting for survival in a political chessboard that finds everyone trying to check mate each other, Western imperialism is in full swing pursing with the ‘pivot to Asia’ theme nothing but imperialism aimed at militarily encircling China. No corner of South Asia will be exempt from […]

Shenali D Waduge   From the UN Secretary General downwards a chorus of people are chirping reconciliation and plugging the word into every press release issued. The latest is a press release that follows secret talks between Sri Lanka’s Foreign Minister, a Norwegian former envoy who is besotted with the Tamil factor, South African NGO […]

Shenali D Waduge If elections are held to enable eligible voters to vote for people as their choice to lead the country, there is no requirement to have another list of people entering Parliament from the backdoor. More often than not these backdoor national list entrants end up getting strategic and important portfolios and behave […]

Shenali D Waduge  Everything generally gets swept under the carpet due to legal technicalities but for us ordinary laymen it sounds rather bizarre to hear of a joint press statement issued by a UN Security Council banned LTTE front and a Member of Parliament even if entered through the backdoor on the national list! If […]

Shenali D Waduge The media has highlighted news of requests by LTTE-created-TNA to release LTTE prisoners. For whose benefit, why and for what reasons would a political party request to release hard core LTTE cadres into society when they had flatly refused to follow the rehabilitation & reintegration program? More importantly why would a government […]

Shenali D Waduge Organizations that had been functioning as conduits to channel funds, enable money launder, carry out illicit as well as legal international business and help procure arms are now the new saviors of the Tamils holding foreign passports and domiciled abroad. One such organization banned by the Sri Lankan Government under UN Security […]

Shenali D Waduge  The parliamentary traditions and practices have suddenly come under threat and questions need to be posed to the UNP as to whether it is embarking on a very detrimental path subjecting not only all norms of good governance but jeopardizing the stability of the country as well.  The Presidential election concluded on […]

Shenali D Waduge It is sad and unfortunate that within just 6 years we hear of people publicly praising an internationally banned terrorist organization. The fault lies in the failure to denazify the LTTE but it also establishes that though LTTE leader is no more the desire to continue armed militancy still prevails. The background […]

Shenali D. Waduge As the Buddhist public in Sri Lanka begin to close ranks to meet the challenges facing the continuity and preservation of the Buddhist ethos and heritage in the light of planned incursions, it is good to take stock of the admirable services rendered by Sinhala Buddhists who have carried the torch of […]

Shenali Waduge This is the Australian lady who has come to defend Sri Lanka. She is posing outside the Parliament House of Tasmania with all sorts of LTTE memorabilia and to passers by she is explaining the crimes of the LTTE. Has even the Sri Lankan embassies ever done this type of act of their […]

Shenali D Waduge If some thought it was wrong to have one man with Executive Powers to rule Sri Lanka what is their opinion when many with dubious track records are to be given the mandate to decide for the country? The Constitutional Council is said to be empowered with appointing the members to the […]

Shenali D Waduge   A movement created overseas and exported to destabalize Sri Lanka that lasted 3 decades despite a wave of serial murders/assassinations/suicides & crimes with offices placed overseas to carry out its propaganda despite international bans has to have some reasons for its existence. The business of LTTE being kept alive had benefits […]

Shenali D Waduge This question needs to be asked and answered. Sri Lanka’s terror did not begin at home. India trained Sri Lankan youth in India clandestinely and these groups which included the LTTE were sent on a mission to destablize Sri Lanka. That was how terrorism started. That terrorism led to 3 decades of […]

Shenali D Waduge  The Sinhale nation was betrayed numerous times. Don Juan Dharmapala, our own men (lascoreens/sepoys) who joined the white colonial shooting their own people, those that willing converted to Catholicism/Christianity for perks and privileges, those that carried tales and messages for the enemy, the confiscation of Buddhist Temple Lands, the demarcation of territory, […]

Shenali D Waduge Diannah Paramour is 60 years old and a proud Aussie. She refers to herself as a humanitarian in the real sense of the word. Her humanity is not subject to a payroll. She had been following Sri Lanka’s conflict for many years and unlike most had done her own investigations and concluded […]

Shenali D Waduge   The tenets of a Compassionate Leader entails practice by example. This was how the Sinhale nation’s leaders led for over 2300 years following the dasa raja dhamma. It is the continuous of these noble and compassionate leadership qualities that will make Sri Lanka preserve its historical identity. We should not follow […]

Shenali D Waduge  Much of the terminologies in use appear to provide loopholes and enable lawyers to wriggle through technicalities that project & at times protect terrorists as freedom fighters, insurgents while to the victims they are nothing but terrorists. It is in looking at the backgrounds of these terror groups, how they arose, how […]

Shenali D Waduge  LTTE is a banned terrorist entity not just in Sri Lanka but in 32 nations as well. It remains banned despite its leader and key commanders eliminated. Since 2009 attempts have been made to commemorate dead terrorists in an obvious bid to keep the money-generating Eelam project alive. Mourning the dead – […]

Shenali D Waduge A correction needs to be made. If wars are declared between two countries and with Sri Lanka’s conflict described as a non-international armed conflict, the terminologies currently been applied to wives of LTTE widows need to be immediately corrected. War widows can be described as only those whose soldier husbands have died […]

Shenali D Waduge The War on Terror divided people into those with us or against us. The war effort in Sri Lanka divided people as those against terror and those indirectly/directly supporting terror. The post-war scenario finds the same sets of people who supported terror now camouflaged as conflict-resolutionists encouraging a bogus reconciliation. That a […]

Shenali D Waduge The Europeans are waking up. They are beginning to realize that money cannot buy happiness, that capitalism has not provided mental solace, that meat consumption has caused endless  health issues and their searching minds have discovered the richness in the scientifically proven philosophy of Buddhism. Coupled to this awakening, Europeans and in […]

 Shenali D Waduge Nothing in this world happens without a reason. There’s a pattern and a shape to everything. To understand the political chaos that presently engulfs Sri Lankan politics it is essential that we are able to place in context the movers and shakers of global governance and how the world runs. It is […]

Shenali D Waduge In the late 1970s when President J R Jayawardena took a pro-US stand Sri Lanka became saddled with a made-in-India Tamil-militant terrorism drawing upon India’s influence over Tamils from both sides of the Palk Strait that continues to last despite its head and major part of its ground force now militarily eliminated. […]

Shenali D Waduge  The efforts to frame war crimes changes has been an ongoing affair for the past 6 years. Other than emotionally charged outbursts, ridiculous guestimates not a single name has been given for the dead. As of 9 April 2015 only 16,179 civilian ‘missing’ have been logged with the Presidential Missing Person’s Commission […]
