Where information has been derived from other sources I confirm that this has been indicated the thesis. ABSTRACT Following twenty-five years of civil war between the Sri Lankan government troops and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), a ceasefire was called in February 2002. This truce is now on the point of collapse, due to a break down in talks over the post-war administration of the northern and eastern provinces. These instabilities have lead to conflicts within the insurgent ranks as well as political and religious factions in the south. This thesis centres on how the anguish of war and its unresolved aftermath is being communicated among Tamils living in the northern reaches of Sri Lanka.

  • A Murder & the Problem of Truth
    A Murder & the Problem of Truth: The Suffocation of Truth and its Political Implications. By Rajan Hoole The October 1995 Exodus The most traumatising of attempts to cover the truth concerns the LTTE’s forced exodus of the civilian population in Valikamam on 30th October 1995. The LTTE had itself already decided to withdraw in the face of the army advance on Jaffna and had already removed its property. At 6.00 P.M. on the day it issued a threatening order importuning the civilians to move out within ten hours, threatening to blow up the connecting bridge over Chemmani lagoon. Those who remain, it said, would have to face the consequences of unrestrained war. During the night in pouring rain, people jam-packed the exit roads jostling, cursing and pushing each other. Elderly died of exhaustion, and infants dropped by weary mothers perished in flood waters. Apart from privation and starvation, people suffered loss of identity, basic human self-esteem, and lived with enormous guilt over parents, elders and domestic animals they left behind. As they fled the LTTE broke into their homes, looted their goods and transported them out in lorries. At one point it made the civilians going on foot to use the railway bridge, so that LTTE lorries carrying their looted goods could use the road exit without hindrance. The experience left the civilians angry, humiliated, and utterly helpless. The LTTE in the meantime pulled all the stops and launched a world wide propaganda campaign claiming that the people marched out en masse in demonstration of their unwillingness to live under the alien Sri Lankan government.

  • Tamil Eelam Struggle and Its Lessons
    Tamil Eelam Struggle and its Lessons [From the Indian revolutionary magazine, People‟s Truth, #7, Sept. 2009, pp. 20-30 & p. 12.] By Ravindran ON 18th May 2009, the President of Sri Lanka Mahinda Rajapakshe declared that the three decades of war against the LTTE has come to an end. He declared that the Sri Lankan army won a final victory against the Tigers. The Sri Lankan army and the government also claimed that the LTTE leader, Prabhakaran, and many of his lieutenants were killed in the battle and showed the photographs of the dead body of Prabhakaran in the electronic and print media. On 20th, the Sri Lankan government declared a national holiday to „celebrate‟ this „victory‟. The timing of this declaration created suspicion amongst the people who are closely watching the developments in Sri Lanka, in India and all over the world. It appears that the Sri Lankan government deliberately spread this news after the announcement of parliament election results in India. While the Sri Lankan government and the UPA government led by the Congress party celebrated this, millions of sympathizers/supporters of Tigers and Eelam struggle all over the world were shocked in disbelief that the struggle for a separate Tamil Eelam would come to such an end. Within 24 hours, the Tigers rubbished the Srilankan government‟s claim and published that the Tiger‟s chief and many leaders of the LTTE are safe and the struggle for Tamil Eelam would continue until realizing its goal of achieving a separate homeland for the Eelam people. Tamils, all over the world held protest demonstrations and in Tamil Nadu (TN), some violent incidents also took place.

    CENTER FOR PEACE & RECONCILIATION 08, Grousseault Road Jaffna Sri Lanka Tel / Fax 021 222 8131 E mail: [email protected] Web site: www.peacecentrejaffna.lk STUDENTS COMMUNITY IN NORTH & EAST IS TERRIFIED Parts of Sri Lanka, namely North and East are becoming a deadly place for the students, teachers or education officials. Attacks on education often escape international attention amid the general fighting in conflict-affected countries. However, the number of reported assassinations and intimidation, bombings and burnings of school and academic staff and buildings has risen dramatically in the past three years, reflecting the increasingly bloody nature of local conflicts around Sri Lanka. I strongly suggest that the worst-affected Schools, Colleges, Universities and other academic Institutions that should be safe havens for children, have increasingly become the prime target of attacks by armed parties. The students in the North and East of Sri Lanka are highly at stake. The Government continues not only to be indifferent to establish security measures against the massive death threat mounting on the students community but also it promotes the underworld activities by using its collaborating paramilitary viz. EPDP and Karuna Faction. Systematic suppression of Judiciary and the law enforcement authorities; Geographical set up of Jaffna Peninsula, PTA, Emergency Regulation, Multi-presence of Military, infiltration of LTTE into Government controlled area, activities of the Paramilitary have been hampering the study programme of the students in North and East. This is a part of the package deal of the Government to suppress the study programme of the students in the North and East. In the LTTE controlled area, the students are terrorised by forcible recruitment, intimidation and restriction in freedom of movement and expression.
