	Tamil masses in the north of Sri Lanka protest cuts in food rations
		The Tamil masses, trapped in the racist war in the Mulaithivu and Killinochchi districts of the Northern Province of Sri Lanka, are protesting against cuts in food rations imposed by the government in Colombo.
		But the ruling class in Sri Lanka and the PA government use the LTTE's confiscation of food aid as a pretext to intensify its racist oppression.
		The working class and oppressed in Sri Lanka must campaign internationally for an end to this racist war, for the withdrawal of armies from the north and east, and for the securing of the democratic rights of the Tamil nation.

		While in Sri Lanka, the Canadian team investigated continuing reports of human rights abuses and growing concern that a full-scale military offensive is likely to be mounted in the Jaffna peninsula.
		The incredible beauty of Sri Lanka, its enormous potential and rich human resources seemed to magnify the deep tragedy of the ethnic conflict which threatens all that Sri Lanka could be.

	Media Release by Pacifia Alliance for Peace in Sri Lanka (PAPS) - 26 April 2003
		While the Sinhalese were shunted out in late 80s from the Northern province and are harassed even today in the Eastern province, the attack on the Muslims began in early 90s in Avranathlawa with plundering of a Muslim village.
		Sri Lankan people should ponder why there is an unholy alliance between the UNF and the Tamil Tigers to get together and plunder civilians for one party to achieve their racist political objectives and the other to savour political power in the South and collect commissions in dollars.
		Let the Government protect the unarmed civilians in Sri Lanka from the world's most violent terrorist group and their blood-thirsty leader, Prabakaran who is a wanted criminal by INTERPOL, Sri Lanka and India.

	“We may now go home”: Muslim Refugees of Sri Lanka
		Equally, it is also the responsibility of the Tamil community of the Northern province in general, and the leaders and civil society in particular, to offer support and safety for those displaced Muslims who have opted to come back to live with them.
		So far, the international community has been playing a positive role in resolving ethnic conflict in Sri Lanka. The international community could allay the fears of smaller minorities such as the Muslims of the Northern Province by supporting the efforts towards peace with justice for all those who were affected by the ethnic conflict.
		If the present situation continues, Muslim refugees are not likely to return home in large numbers. They need to be certain of the protection accorded to them by the parties to the conflict, and by the constitution. Negotiating their protection is the responsibility of the state, the LTTE, and the Muslim political parties.

		This raises a cloud of doubt as to the commitment of the LTTE to talk peace with the government of Sri Lanka when the government stance is clear that negotiations will be toward maximum devolution within a unitary state.
		It is clear that investors will not step into areas controlled by terrorists, leading to a logical conclusion that the eastern province needs to be freed from the clutches of the LTTE and nudged on to achieve economic freedom, enhanced infrastructure and a higher quality of life for the people.

	Sri Lanka: Spirit of Inclusion Augurs Well for Peace Talks
		The latter half of 1990 was the worst, when the Tigers gunned down and killed over a hundred Muslims at prayer in two mosques in the eastern province, and when the Tigers drove away at gunpoint over 70,000 Muslims from their homes in the northern province.
		Because conflict between the Tigers and Muslim civilians is often overshadowed by bloodletting between the Sinhalese-dominated Sri Lankan state and the armed Tamil minority, negotiators at the previous peace talks have spent most of their efforts on finding solutions that largely address the concerns of the two main communities.
		Sri Lankan Muslims fear becoming a minority - and thus open to persecution -- in a future political administration controlled by the Tigers, not least because of proposals that the rebels run an interim administration in the north and east.

		The Sinhalese organizations have told the Sri Lankan government they must be in the know of what is happening and be able to react in matters concerning their future when taken up in the proposed peace talks between the LTTE and the Sri Lanka government.
		The Sinhalese, the Muslims and the Tamils equally inhabit Eastern province of Sri Lanka.
		But the Sri Lanka Muslim Congress leader Rauf Hakeem, who represents some Muslims in Sri Lanka and the terrorist leader Velupillai Prabhakaran came into an agreement in early April accepting each other as the sole representatives of the Muslims and the Tamils.

	The World's First Terrorist Air Force (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The Sri Lankan authorities, who have been seriously concerned over the implications of the LTTE's success in clandestinely acquiring an air capability for terrorist operations, have for the present confined their reaction to bringing the matter to the notice of foreign governments, including reportedly those of India and Pakistan.
		During its various rounds of fighting against the Sri Lankan security forces before 2002, it was totally relying on conventional anti-aircraft weapons and surface-to-air missiles for bringing down aircraft of the Sri Lankan Air Force.
		Despite these difficulties, the LTTE continued to clandestinely procure arms and ammunition from different sources and transport them in its ships to northern Sri Lanka, without anything being done to stop this either by the Norwegian-led monitoring mission or by the other members of the international community.

		Journalists in Sri Lanka submitted reams of evidence to the Supreme Court (and to CPJ) documenting the censor's often arbitrary and partisan decisions to bar articles and even cartoons that, while critical of the administration, did not jeopardize the country's national security.

		During its various rounds of fighting against the Sri Lankan security forces before 2002, the LTTE totally relied on conventional anti-aircraft weapons and surface-to-air missiles for bringing down aircraft of the Sri Lankan Air Force.
		From this, it would not be wrong to conclude that the silence and inaction of many external powers have contributed to the LTTE's emerging as the most ruthless non-jihadi organization in the world, with a capability for sea and air-mounted suicide missions.
