MavuBima Sri Lanka

This Blog is created for news related to Sri Lanka.

Sri Lanka is a beautiful island in the Indian Ocean. Because of the shape, it is called the pearl in Indian Ocean.

Unfortunately, one of the most ruthless terrorist groups in the world called LTTE (Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam) has ruined the country for the last two and half decades. However, with the right political vision and right military leadership, the terrorist group is currently being successfully defeated by the Sri Lankan security forces. If you want more details about the LTTE terrorist group, you can refer USA's FBI official web site here at http://www.fbi.gov/page2/jan08/tamil_tigers011008.html

LTTE terrorist group has been fighting for a mono ethnic Tamil state to be carved out from the unitary Sri Lanka. Sinhala is the majority ethnic group in Sri Lanka, which consists of 76% of the population. The Tamils accounts for 12% of the total population. Sri Lanka may be the only country in the world where the majority (Sinhala) people is ethnically cleansed by the minority (Tamils) in northern parts of the country, where the above Tamil terrorist group is dominant. But in southern parts, where the majority is Sinhalese, all Tamils and other ethnic groups live in peace and harmony. As a matter of fact, more than 50% of the businesses in capital Colombo are owned by the minority Tamils. The majority Sinhalese do not find anything wrong with that. However, such level of privilege is not enough for the racist Tamil terrorist group. They want a mono ethnic Tamil country carved out from Sri Lanka. That is why they carried out a complete genocide and an ethnic cleansing of Sinhalese in northern parts of Sri Lanka.

In order to achieve their brutal goal, they have made a series of criminal acts, including killing of key figures such as Indian prime minister Rajiv Gandhi, Sri Lankan president Ranasinghe Premadasa, former foreign minister (and also former president of Oxford University students council) Lakshman Kadiragarmer, number of Sri Lankan ministers and whoever who opposed their terrorist acts, be it a Sinhalese or a Tamil. Also they have not been hesitant even for a moment to conduct mass scale massacres such as massacre of 400+ innocent Buddhist monks and grand scale massacres of people in rural poor villages. Bombing and blasting buses and trains carrying innocent civilians has been a part of their usual day-to-day life. They conducted covert acts to provoke majority Sinhalese against innocent Tamils. They attacked Sri Maha Bodhiya and bombed Temple of Tooth, both are considered Sinhala Buddhists' top sacred religious temples. But by nature, the majority Sinhalese were wise enough to understand the terrorist group's hidden agenda and did not take any form of a violent action. In addition LTTE tried hard to claim themselves the sole representatives of Tamils, not by winning the hart of Tamils, but by eliminating other Tamil groups who had different views. Some of the Tamil groups have been fortunate enough to survive under the government's security.

Thanks to the present Sri Lankan government and the security forces, this ruthless terrorist group is presently getting cornered to a small area of thick jungles. Stiff military actions have made them loose 95% of the de-facto state they had maintained earlier. Also special thanks go to all the countries (in fact 26 countries) who identified and banned LTTE as a terrorist outfit. These countries include USA, UK, India, Canada and the European union.

It is all patriotic citizens' responsibility to strengthen the Sri Lankan government and the security forces to completely eradicate the terrorism from Sri Lanka and make all ethnic groups to live in peace and harmony again. We hope we can achieve this very soon.
