WAKE UP UNITED NATIONS, INDIA AND THE POLITICIANS OF TAMIL NADU
These are some distressing videos from the so called " No Fire Zone" in the rebel held areas of the Mullaithivu district of north east Sri Lanka.
Women, children and men battling for their lives in an open air, make shift, fly infested medical facility.
Medicines...even bandages, food and water are in desperate short supply.
The UN says over 4,500 Tamil civilians have dies so far this year ( Over 900 of these are children), and over 9000 have been injured. The numbers of dead and injured are creeping up by the dozen every day.
Weeping mothers, traumatised children and men with an expression of helplessness on their faces.
Should the UN and India just keep quite when it is told that the Sri Lankan government can't consider an extended ceasefire at this time ?
Is the fear of the decimated LTTE regrouping so overwhelming that the lives of Tamil civilians should be put to risk ?
Is it really fair to allow the Sri Lankan army and the rebels to gamble away the lives of over 1,00,000 Tamil civilians ?
Is this not genocide, regardless of who is to blame ?
Should the International media not be doing more to pressure the Sri Lankan government to ease curbs on international journalists visiting the so called "No Fire Zone" ?
Should the UN not take immediate charge of the so called " No Fire Zone" ?
Should the politicians in Tamil Nadu not stand united for this cause and pressure the Union government to snap diplomatic ties with Sri Lanka if it does not end hostilities ?
Should the Indian mainstream media not do more to bring this issue to focus ?
Should the Indian government not respect the sentiments of the 6.6 crore people of Tamil Nadu and do more to save the lives of the Tamil civilians in Sri Lanka ?

Shivanandan is no more
Shivanandan, the 48 year old painter from Karur, who set himself ablaze last evening to protest against the killing of Tamil civilians in Sri Lanka is dead.
He battled for his life for many hours at a Chennai hospital with 70 perecent burns before he breathed his last.
Pro Eelam leaders like Pazha Nedumaran and Tol. Telumavalavan visited the hospital Friday night and spoke to journalists outside the hospital after talking to doctors in the burns ward.
The Police have informed his parents and they have arrived in the city to claim his body.
Shivanandan is not married.
He is the 14th person in the state to commit self immolation in the last few months.

Rajesh Sundaram : Eelam Politics in Tamil Nadu
The Sad story of Sivanandan
Even as I write this post 48 year old Sivanandan from Karur is battling for his life at the burns ward of the Kilpauk Hospital in Chennai. He has suffered 70 percent burns and doctors say chances of his survival are not very bright.
He was reportedly upset at the the worsening condition of the thousands of Tamil civilians in the conflict ridden North eastern coastal district of Mullaithivu in Sri Lanka.
He reportedly shouted slogans protesting the worsening humanitarian situation in Sri Lanka and the killing of thousands of innocent civilians there before setting himself ablaze.
He is the 14th person in the state to attempt self immolation in the last few months.
The helpless angst in Tamil Nadu
It is reported that over 3500 Tamil civilians have dies and nearly three times the number injured in just the last four months in conflict hit areas of North Sri Lanka. Dozens continue to die and suffer injuries every day.
Food, drinking water and medicines are reportedly in short supply and so are trained doctors and support staff.
It is reported that Children are dying of undernourishment , dead bodies pile up on the road side after each air raid and round of mortar/ artillery shelling.
Independent journalists are not allowed free access to the conflict zone by either side.
The Sri Lankan government blames the Tamil Tiger Rebels for the plight of the civilians, accusing them of holding the civilians as "human shields" and firing at civilians fleeing areas under their control. They promising to "liberate" the civilians and wipe out the last remaining rebel fighters.
The rebels blame the army fire for the civilian deaths. They say the civilians are staying put in areas held by them out of choice...because of fear that they will be beaten and tortured if they fall in Sri Lankan army hands.
And as the two sides dig in for the "final battle" more and more civilians are dying each day.
The Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapakse, made an official trip to the fallen rebel capital of Killinochi this week. He seemed in no mood to stop his war against the rebels...regardless of the high costs.
Election season in India
All this comes bang in the middle of election season in India.
Tamil Nadu's 6.6 crore Tamils have a deep cultural and historic relationship with the much smaller Tamil community in Sri Lanka. The number of Tamil civilians trapped in the conflict zone is variously estimated between 80,000 and 3,50000.
It is no wonder then that this has become an emotive pre-poll issue. Hundreds have turned up for rallies across the state calling for an end to the war in Sri Lanka and relief for the trapped civilians.
Every political party wants to milk the sentiment.
The ruling DMK led Democratic Progressive Alliance has been accused by the opposition AIADMK led alliance of not doing much to force the central government to end the war in Sri Lanka.
The DMK is a key ally of the Federal government. It's support is crucial for survival of the UPA government at the center.
The opposition says the DMK could have done more to influence and change India's Sri Lankan policy and end the war and suffering of Tamil civilians on the island nation.
The Dynamics of Change
In a surprise move the AIADMK, at one time a bitter critic of the LTTE, has in its manifesto said that Eelam, or a separate state for Tamils in Sri Lanka was inevitable if their genuine aspirations of the Tamil people were not met and if they were not treated with dignity and honour.
This is seen as a radical shift in its stand. Some experts say the party has calibrated its policy in keeping with popular sentiment in the state ahead of the elections. They say allies like MDMK's Vaiko and PMK's Dr Ramadoss have played a big role in bringing about this change.
Vaiko is perhaps the only Tamil politician to have been consistently committed to the Eelam cause over the last two decades. He has even been jailed on many occasions for his support to the Tamil Tiger rebels, a banned organisation in India.
The AIADMK hopes to play a big role in the formation of the next government in New Delhi. The change in its stance at this point is very significant.
The writing on the wall for the DMK is clear.
It has failed to get any significant tangible benefits or relief for the suffering Tamil civilians in Sri Lanka and has failed to convince the central government to cajole the Sri Lankan government to halt the war.
The only option with the DMK government now is to shift the blame on to the Union government.
The wily DMK chief M Karunanidhi has sent the Indian prime minister a late night telegram, asking him to snap diplomatic ties with Sri Lankan if it does not immediately agree to a permanent ceasefire.
Ahead of the elections, the Congress finds itself between a rock and a hard place.
Too Little, Too Late
Karunanidhi's desperate telegram comes just hours after Indian foreign minister Pranab Mukharjee took time out of his hectic election campaign to issue India's toughest statement yet on the issue.
Observers say the timing of the statement is significant. The language used in the statement unlike the ones issued in the past is not guarded and nuanced.
It has clear political undertones and is largely seen as a statement issued to minimise damage for the congress and its allies in the upcoming general elections.
The Sri Lankan government has not responded to the statement so far and is unlikely to end hostilities. Ahead of the polls this leaves the DMK led government in Tamil Nadu particularly vulnerable.
The Indian government can do little to walk its talk on the issue. It is unlikely to heed Karunanidhi's advise to snap diplomatic ties with Sri Lanka.
And as for the civilians in the Vanni, India's latest statement may have come a little too late in the day...and it is also perhaps too little to bring any tangible relief.

Newborn babies ber of milk, humanitarian situation worsens in Vannieft
Due to acute malnutrition and continued blockade of food thousands of mothers of newborn babies have gone barren to feed babies in besieged Mullaiththeevu. The substitute of powdered milk is also not available, seriously affecting thousands of babies reports Tamilnet correspondent from Vanni.
Pregnant women are at highest risk of serious complications from infectious diseases under the prevailing condition.
Even a single Panadol tablet is not available in makeshift pharmacy shops. Couble of tables that cost 3 rupees earlier are sold at 30 rupees now. "People are coughing. Many of them are infected with viral infections including chicken pox."
Very high rate of infectious diseases are found among children, including respiratory diseases and diarrhea, medical sources at Maaththa'lan makeshift hospital said adding that many injured civilians have been suffering without antibiotics treatment.
Patients with chronic diseases are hard time. Their deaths, caused by the blockade of medicines by the Government of Sri Lanka, is increasing. Especially, diabetes patients are dying without medicines and are exposed to tragic conditions even with minor injuries.
Lack of potable water is a major problem in the 'safety zone'.
The new 'safety zone' declared by Colombo, limited to 12 km, a small stretch of land along the lagoon and the sea coast, north of Mullaiththeevu, is nothing but an assembling ground where a population of around 200,000 - 250,000 civilians remaining in Vanni have been herded into, congesting the barren land beyond further accommodation. Civilians were struggling to cope with their camp life inside 10-feet long huts covered by tarpaulin sheets and the bunkers where they seek shelter during the artillery attacks.
Vegetables are not available.
Food supplies are allowed in the last few shipments only in small amounts. On Wednesday, 17 metric ton of flour arrived. The local co-operative society authorities had to limit the supplies to 17,000 families, supplying 1 kg flour, 50 grams of sugar and 50 grams of dhal per family. Families with five or more members were prioritised. People were struggling in long queues. There were females who fainted.
A week ago, when the first shipment came, a child died in an overcrowded queue when people assembled to obtain food supplies.

Shame for tamilnadu tamilians
A attack on Sri Lanka Embassy in Oslo
A group of hooligans suspected to be sympathisers of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam raided its mission in Oslo and caused extensive damage in Srilanka embassy.
This is the same for Tamilnadu Tamilians . In Norway, they opposed the srilankan government for attacking the Innocent tamil people . In Tamilnadu, we don't do anything for our brothers.

If Norway cannot offer protection, Sri Lanka should withdraw diplomatic relations with Norway, which is a hotbed and launching pad of LTTE activity, and according to many reports is with the support of the Norwegian Govt.
