as mr/jvp/jhu govt will face big financial crisis due to lack of  foriegn aids,mr/ jvp govt can borrow money from ltte to cover the budget deficit.

LTTE colects money in the West in Dollars, Pounds etc. They then pay to foreign bodies for purchases. The goods then arrive in Mullaithivu, which is a foreign country.

How will this Sri lankan law affect LTTE's activity?

This is another eye wash to show the poor uneducated voters in the south that the Govt is doing something!

Come on, even the sophisticated western Govts couldn't stop these activities.

Rawana,
Govt. doesn't need to borrow money from LTTE. LTTE can't even feed the people they claim to represent. Thats why the govt. has to send truck loads to the North wasting our hard earned money collected as tax from the government.

Besides we must find a way of funding our own security projects like these cordon and search operations with the money confiscated by the criminals itself.
Thats what USA is doing in protecting thier border. They have this project called the Minute Man where ordinary civlians protect the US border from Mexicans. And these civlians are rewarded for their services with the property and money confiscated from those Mexicans and thier agents who enter illegally.
We should do the same.

What?

who send the load ?where?
even tht things taken to tsunami victims were robbed on the way.

If anyone thinking that the war should be stopped
ban JVP and JHU first.

GOSL can borrow money from the people who made big money by purchasing the arms for the forces and let our armed forces use the condemned and discarded arms.

Be patriotic .. think of the motherland

The GOSL should also try to stop the Governmental funding the LTTE get from Norway. The money made from LTTE's world wide drug smuggling activities can easily be laundered through Norway or Denmark. There a no restrictions for fund transfer to the LTTE in Sri Lanka from these countries, or the LTTE can use their funds in Norway to pay directly to their arms dealers in Singapore, Thailand, Ukraine and Belarus. Read the NAT report and see how the LTTE is using Norway for fundraising and money laundering www.senter.no/norway.pdf. All it takes is a couple of mouse clicks and new SAMS and Chemical agents are paid for with LTTE's money in Norway.

Many jewellary shops in colombo and upto negombo are supported by LTTE. They have have different rooms for foreign exchange handling. This is where they collect Sri Lankan Rs for transactions within the country. Some jewellary shops have foreign connections whom are direct LTTEers.

Some how, Colombo should allow reasonable transactions. At present, the rule is either underground or the powerful cand transfer money as much as they want and not by others.

SL also should have sleuths to catch foreign transctions which happens in foreign countries.

If possible should use double agents.

one should undersatnd that PTA ( prevention of terror act) made only LTTE grow up.

further more in a civil society. Governments should try to convince people from breaking law by their just and reasonable actions. only law in books cannot get up and go round the road. In my opinion tamil people are denied of their righs. until that is sorted to the satisfaction of people there will be always a way out to get the finances.

A registered busniess of any kind is enough to go around. even better some foregin human right organisations will see tamils being discriminated and find a way to bring money.

therefore MR and GOSl should think straight to solve the problem of human rights. all other steps will only will lead to distruction of of our beautifull country Srilanka. why we srilankans fail to understand this. you dont need LTTE to talk.

only thing we need is win the hearts and minds of the tamil people.
What the army is doing now is helping LTTE to get more recruits. even a neutral man like me is thinking of supporting LTTE even though I disagree with murders.
at lest 1000 families have moved to vanni so far. imagine 10% joing LTTE as suicide bombers. what a sad situation


be clever MR please don't take wrong path just because of self benifit and destroy our country for the benifit of some wrong elements.

unless we solve TAMILS ISSUE peacefully tamils and sinhalese as children of mother Lanka will be loosers. Mother lanka will suffer serious injuries. I beg all politiciens to understand this.

People contributing to address the humanitarian situations in the North and East are now sending their money through official channels. When such laws are put in place they are scared into giving their contributions to intermediaries who either swindle the money or have better opportunity to give it to the LTTE.

Silly fellows who do not understand what really happens in real world are wasting valuable time and energy. Instead they should spend the time to bring about or to propose a solution to the Tamil issues.

All these tactics have already been tried and failed. Every time a new person gains power they try all the tricks even the ones that have already failed and then learn from it the hard way. They then wonder what the hell is happening when the LTTE reacts in their own style.

Lamond:

Very little fraction of tamils have ISSUES. Why others in GOSL areas do not have issues. Now you are overseas, are your problems all solved.

Besides, if tamils had issues why did you guys kep on killing innocent muslims, sinhala civilians and unarmed policemen.

AnuD,
MR, Mangala, Kadir, CBK, RW, JRJ, Banda, Dudley etc. All these people have publicly agreed that the Tamils have issues. The IC including Europe, US, India etc have all said that these issues must be resolved. This is what the problem in SL. The gap is so wide. People like you do not want to see a peaceful solution to the ethnic problem & a number of LTTE suporters do not trust the GOSL. It is not what you think or believe, but what the rest of the world has been saying is what matters. So, I hope you will recognise the above facts when you make cooments.
