Shenali D Waduge In 2011 AMNESTY accepted $50,000 from a Canadian based LTTE front, so naturally it is not a surprise when AMNESTY International’s Alan Keenan quoted 40,000 to 147,000 dead. Can Amnesty produce names of even 10,000 dead, we think not. Interesting that the photo of the commemoration with Agnes Callamard bowing & offering […]

Shenali D Waduge Foreign MPs mustering votes will attend, INGOs/NGO representatives fulfilling geopolitical agendas will attend, diplomats ordered by their governments will attend, families of dead LTTE will attend, other Tamils will be forced to attend.

Shenali D Waduge   There is much written on intellectual property rights accompanied by the premise that justice must be seen to be done.

Shenali D Waduge Any truth & reconciliation commission that shies from exposing the true players who trained, armed and funded militancy in Sri Lanka as well as provide covert & overt support that led to the 3 decade bloodshed should be denounced, named & shamed.

Shenali D Waduge Hawaii was annexed by US in 1898. The reason for Hawaii to be annexed was the fear of Hawaii becoming part of European empire.

Shenali D Waduge The Govt PR channels and clueless politicians are not surprisingly going to town about the magnanimous gesture about farmers getting deed ownership to lands that were given to them by the State as a lease.

Shenali D Waduge Mahaveerar Naal is a LTTE mourning event – it does not mourn Tamils & certainly not Tamils killed by LTTE.

Shenali D Waduge The JVP-plugged NPP is not the JVP that Rohana Wijeweera created. The rank & file of those that survived insurrections in 1972 and 1980s will no doubt agree.

Shenali D Waduge Before anyone takes out all the denigrative words & phrases in the dictionary, it would be wiser for them to check out where a God is officially referred in the Constitutions of other states that have a shorter history than Sri Lanka. In the name of God the Father, the Son & […]

Shenali D Waduge US-India Regime change in Sri Lanka in 2015 & multinational corporations promoting Mauricio Macri as President of Argentina also in 2015 have similarities.
