Only Tamil people should live in peace? How about all Sri Lankans live in peace? Army is there to prevent return of terrorists to disrupt the peace in Sri Lanka.

Ordinary Tamils live in Sri lanka should not deceived by those lip servers living high life in foreign lands. You guys have to live here, find bread and butter here, and try your best. Majority rural Sinhalese are discriminated by all successive so called Sinhalese governments for the last 60 odd years. Remember they rose twice with arms and crushed by respective rulers very inhumanly. No government would allow upheavals these days, as they somehow get modern weapons and crush.

Mr.Kane! Would you have the same perception if the military came and took over your property over some years. It is easy to sit under the air con in Colombo and criticize by the facts that affected the ordinary peoples life in Jaffna.

Good move, we should do it step by step, we have no other place in the world, unlike others who are supported by many countries, we should protect our own interest and not repeat the old mistakes. Many of our brothers and sisters were killed by suicide bombs, we are still in pain. Dear leaders, think it over a million times before you make one little move for the love of our country and its people.

Those are only LTTE figures. If those types of masacres took place, why didn't US sattalites capture it. They were on alert 24 hrs those days. And also if so called number died, how long will take to bury, where did they bury and again why didn't US sattalites find it. If they got any information they would have make a big fuss.

Gerald, withdrawing from "Private Properties" and "Confining to Barracks" is two vastly different things. According to Gota, the army will move out of only private properties, but will still maintain its presence in these areas by other means.
Hope you see the difference in what Gota has said and what SF said.Hope you see the difference in what Gota has said and what SF said....')" style="padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 2px">Reply 0 0

This is a timely decision to withdraw army from private properties and this would certainly pave way for the prosperity of our country which in return would make success story in agricultural sector from the north.

US satellite will never revel such information publicly unless they are insisted by any legal body such as International Criminal Court. This has not happened in their territory, it happened beyond their borders.

One of the very best pieces of news I've heard so far after a long time of listening to violence prone news. The real peace dawns in the second term of the Rajapakse's regime! I'm waiting for the day to see a demilitarized crime free nation! It may be very soon!

'Gradually' may mean days, weeks, months or until this regime leaves? Why not a proposed timeline, instead of indefinte deadlines like these?

Even Tamils should thank him for providing the neccessary leadership and assistance given to forces to eliminate LTTE so they can enjoy real PEACE without fear, ransom, dictatorship and brutal terrorism. How many Tamils have been killed by LTTE?. Any Pro-LTTEr knows this?

why don't you put up a statue of Great General Sarath Fonseka somewhere in the north just to show some gratitude? Do that first.

Another bogus statement to apppease (to cheat) the international community! The govt needs to keep doing this time to time to run the bankrupt economy

If this is a genuine statement it is most welcome. But if this is to show that the Govt is improving its attitude to obtain GSP+, its a shame to make such statements

Where have you been Karthik all these days? Didn't you know there was a war against terrorism which evacuated residents inorder to ambush the military and the military had to occupy the evacuated private properties to liberate them from the terroristrs. Please do not look at every thing with a squint eye.

Normally statues are not done for living people. But, I feel your proposal is correct because there are some points to consider that the Great war hero is dead and who lives now is someone else.

Tamils experienced brutality from two sources. One was defeated in May 2009. The other source is alive and well.
