Eelam People hope democratic nations shall intercede against brutality
Open Letter To: The Foreign Ministers of UK, Canada, EU Nations, Norway, South Africa, India, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and The Secretary of State, USA.
The pictures of the butchery of an innocent, average, hardworking, Eelam Tamil family on Thursday June 8th, 2006, by the racist, barbaric, cannibalistic, bloodthirsty, Southern Sinhalese Sri Lanka Military of the “Terrorist-Failed State” of the Southern Sinhalese Sri Lanka are gruesome. This and other numerous acts of barbarism and slow genocide of Eelam People conducted by the Regime of the Southern Sinhalese nation of Sri Lanka is the norm rather than the exception, under the watchful eyes of the so-called “International Community”.
The news archives are full of condemnation by impartial, world renowned humanitarians and others of the slow genocide, punctuated by frequent and periodic mayhem, pogroms and mass killings of Eelam Tamil people, perpetrated by the Fascist - Racist- Chauvinist Regimes of the Southern Sinhalese State of Sri Lanka, past and present.
Yet, the US, the UK, the European Union, Canada, and India had proscribed the only freedom fighters the Eelam Tamils have for their protection. If not for the courageous stand taken by the LTTE, the entire Eelam Tamil people would have been liquidated by now.
The International Community seem oblivious to the plight of the beleaguered people of Eelam in the North-East of the Island of Sri Lanka. These people had endured 58 years of Southern Sinhalese Sri Lanka’s “State Sponsored Terror and Genocide”. The Eelam people shall be ever so grateful to the people of these great democracies if their Governments would extend their support to them in this hour of need.
By proscribing the LTTE, the US, Canada, the EU, the UK, and India have proscribed the Eelam Tamil People. By their short-sighted actions, they have condemned the Eelam Tamil People to death. These great bastions of democracy have passed on the Eelam Tamil People the judgment of Genocide at the hands of the brutal, racist, violent, criminal Southern Sinhalese nation. They have strengthened the hands of the Southern Sinhalese “State Terror”.
The Eelam Tamil people are desperate to be freed from the shackles of Southern Sinhalese Sri Lanka’s tyranny since February 4, 1948. The Eelam Tamil people are desperate to live in their own independent nation as they had been doing with peace and dignity for nearly 2827 years prior to the forced amalgamation of Eelam Nation with Southern Sinhalese Sri Lanka in 1833 by the British Colonial Rulers.
This letter comprises the collective impression of a cross-section of the Eelam people of the North-East region of Sri Lanka. In composing this opinion, I had reviewed thousands of letters of Eelam people. These people are relatives, friends, acquaintances, neighbours, and friends and relatives of friends who reside in fear of the Southern Sinhalese Sri Lanka Regime, in different parts Eelam. Every one of them expressed one or more of the following hopes, concerns and fears:
(1) They were overwhelmingly unanimous in their approval of LTTE as their
representatives in their dealings with the Southern Sinhalese Sri Lanka regime.
(2) All expressed the feeling that the LTTE is their savior.
(3) They all expressed unanimously that without the LTTE, they would not be alive today to express their thoughts and hopes for the future.
(4) The Eelam people are unanimous in expressing the thought that they are the LTTE and the LTTE is the Eelam people. One does not exist without the other.
(5) Eelam people unanimously expressed the feeling that TNA and the LTTE must be involved in any future Eelam Administration. They expressed strong views that Eelam shall never be a dictatorial state, but a strong all-inclusive parliamentary democracy.
(6) The Eelam people were fully aware of the Vaddukottai Resolution of 1977. Eelam voters elected all their representatives, by an overwhelming majority, to the Sri Lanka parliament in the General Elections of 1977, on the mandate that Eelam shall run its own affairs as an independent nation. The Eelam people are of the opinion that in expressing their “WILL” through free and fair democratic elections, the Eelam people had evoked such vicious and racist contempt and backlash among the entire Southern Sinhalese nation that the Southern Sinhalese nation and its regimes had embarked
on a mission to exterminate the Eelam people.
(7) All of the “Eelam People” expressed the feeling that they “Live in a Constant State of Fear of being Massacred” at the hands of the Southern Sinhalese Sri Lanka Military and its Goon Squads.
(8) Eelam people expressed the feeling that the whole world had abandoned them and left them to be brutalized and murdered by the Southern Sinhalese Military. They also expressed their suspicion that the great nations of Australia, Canada, Norway and the great democratic union of EU, wittingly or unwittingly, may have allowed themselves to be used as decoys by the international “power brokers”, USA, and the UK, for the Southern Sinhalese regime and its military to expedite the extermination of Eelam people.
(9) The Eelam People do not foresee any future as a people, whatsoever, without the LTTE. They are absolutely and categorically of the opinion that there is no hope for them as people under the rule of Southern Sinhalese Regime and the occupation of Eelam by the Southern Sinhalese Military.
(10) The Eelam People consider the Southern Sinhalese Military, Paramilitaries, Police, STF, and the Sinhalese Goon Squads as a criminal occupation Army and as the “real terrorists”
(11) The Eelam people are convinced that the Southern Sinhalese nation of Sri Lanka, and its regime is a “Failed-Terrorist State”.
(12) The Eelam people expressed the thought that the “Southern Sinhalese Buddhist Military” is a “Foreign Occupation Army” that has nothing but
contempt for the people of Eelam.
(13) Eelam people unanimously expressed the thought that the LTTE is not
the terrorist, but “LTTE is the Eelam People”.
(14) The Eelam People know that they voted in the 1977 Sri Lanka General Election for the creation, separation and return to the pre-colonial state of an “Independent Eelam”. In this regard the Eelam people expressed the desire to accelerate the process of “Secession of Eelam”, which they feel had already begun.
(15) The Eelam people are unanimously of the opinion that it is far better to die fighting with valor for their belief that the “Nation of Eelam is a Distinct Nation”.
They do not wish to be “Subjugated and Terrorized” by the Southern Sinhalese Military that uses such horrific acts as
(a) sexual rape of women (see attached TamilNet news item) of all ages before murdering these women, (b) summary executions of ordinary defenseless Eelam civilians, and (c) murder of innocent kids of all ages. The Eelam people feel that they do not wish to be “Enslaved, Colonized nor Ruled” by an “Alien Neighboring Failed- Terrorist State of Southern Sinhalese Sri Lanka”.
(16) A large majority of the Eelam people are of the view that the Eelam Culture and Value system is strong and disciplined to lay the foundation for a thriving, economically vibrant, democratic nation of Eelam that will be friendly, impartial and inclusive in all its dealings with the powerbrokers of the world such as the US, UK, Australia, EU, Canada, South Africa, India, Japan and China.
It is the hope of the Eelam People that these great democratic nations and their people shall intercede against this brutality and genocide committed by the Southern Sinhalese Sri Lanka. In so requesting, Eelam People also express their gratitude for the continued goodwill exhibited by the decent, honest, freedom loving people of the world.
On behalf of the embattled, beleaguered, downtrodden Eelam People, with great concern.
