July 26: Cuba`s Revolution, Morality, and Solidarity with Tamils

True solidarity activists have no choice. We must stand by any people under attack by aggressors wherever in the world.

(COPENHAGEN) - Sixty years ago, on July 26, 1953, 160 Cuban rebels attacked the Moncada Barracks near Santiago de Cuba.

Had the rebels been able to take the fort manned by 1,000 troops—a good possibility—it would have started a revolution that might well have defeated the dictatorial regime of Fulgencio Batista within a short time.

India`s Total Indifference To Tamil Feelings

India is today in this mess, because of the irrational thinking of Sonia and her advisers, including RAW.

(MELBOURNE) - The attitude of the Delhi Pundits towards the Tamils threaten the unity of India.

The Tamil Genocide by Sri Lanka*

Chartering Freedom Through the Rough Seas of GeoPolitics; A Conference Organized by the Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam (TGTE).

(LANCASTER, PA) - The Tamils on the Island known as “Sri Lanka” have been the victims of genocide as defined by the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.

I say that because on 8 April 1993 and 13 September 1993 I single-handedly won two World Court Orders on the basis of the 1948 Genocide Convention that were overwhelmingly in favor of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina against Yugoslavia to cease and desist from committing all acts of genocide against the Bosnians.

Let`s See the Dawn of `Thamil Eelam`

“This shocking proof of secret war crimes committed during the Sri Lankan Civil War urgently needs to be shared with the world” - Callum Macrae

(LONDON PFLT) - “Geopolitics is drowning the lamentations over the legitimate aspirations of the Sri Lankan Tamils for equity, justice and fair play and the perennial human-rights questions that arise when the state violates the integrity of the individual”.

That was written by M K Bhadrakumar, a career diplomat in the Indian Foreign Service, on the 26th of May 2009, under the heading, ‘Sri Lanka wards off Western Bullying’.

The Tamil`s Uphill Task With The Winners of The War

The winners in Sri Lanka’s civil war continue to make life hard for the losers.

(COLOMBO, Sri Lanka) - OFTEN, when Sri Lanka’s ethnic-Sinhalese-dominated government appears to be offering a hand in friendship to the Tamil minority, it turns out to be a slap in the face.

For example, in 2010 it appointed a Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission to investigate the final phase of the 26-year civil war.

Tamils for Obama to PM Cameron: Acknowledge Britain`s Colonial Error

Tamils for Obama hopes that Cameron will admit Great Britain erred in making a single Ceylonese country.

(NEW YORK CITY) - Tamils for Obama told UK PM David Cameron they believe that the British made a serious error in leaving one (rather than two) former colonies behind in Ceylon.

"We would be grateful if a prominent and significant Brit--such as yourself--were to publicly and for the record acknowledge that it would have been more proper, wise, and foresightful to have restored an independent Tamil state in the northeast of Ceylon. We think this will help to frame the future debate about a Tamil homeland."

Why Does the Boston Lanka Ignore Kidnapping, Hijacking and Arms Supply?

The Boston Lanka is now targeting Mrs Adele Balasingham, widow of Mr. Anton Balasingham, political advisor to the LTTE for more than two decades

(PARIS, France) - A few days ago, I saw the documentary entitled, “Story of Adele Balasingham” produced by Boston Lanka - BL.

It is obvious that BL is trying to rescue Sri Lanka from well-substantiated allegations of war crimes and crimes against humanity committed during the last days of the war - May 2009.

Tamils Face Total Genocide in their Homeland

The vandalization and desecration of the Trincomalee templeis the latest act from Sinhala Buddhist extremist elements intent on terrorising Tamils.

(MULLIVAIKAL, Sri Lanka TamilNet) - Genocide takes several forms. One is mass killing of people as was done in Mullivaikal May 2009. The second is demographic genocide, that is large scale colonisation of Tamil Homeland by Sinhalese migrants from the South.
