Mullaitivu "capture" - the truth revealed

Sources in Ceylon indicate that the Singala people of the island are euphoric about the "capture" of the small fishing hamlet of Mullaitivu. SLA units from the 7th Gemunu Watch (7GW) moved into the hamlet on Sunday while the LTTE were preparing to tactically withdraw.

Unfortunately, some of the LTTE cadres were caught off guard and were unable to withdraw in line with orders, around 200 of them are said to be trapped in the hamlet, their fate is unknown. Some sources speculate that these cadres were killed by the SLA in violation of universal battle norms. Foreign service agents of the LTTE are hard at work to lobby friendly countries to try and force the GoSL to handover Brigadier Nandanan Udawatte and Lieutenant Colonel Chaminda Lamahewa - CO of the 7GW. Once extradited, the Brigadier would face trial in Hague for war crimes.

The 7th GW are known to have suffered heavy casualties during their assault on Mullaitivu, EFT reported earlier that the SLA was facing heavy resistance in Chilawatte, the SLA was unable to move into Mullaitivu from this front as the Tigers bravely held onto the Chilawatte FDLs. The 7th GW had to resort to these desperate commando strikes with the support of the Special Boat Squadron (SBS) of the SLN as the SLA units in Chilawatte were stalled. The SLA are invading our homeland amid untold miseries to our people, Wanni civilians are in the middle of an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe. Basic health services have all but ceased and the people are facing severe hardships due to lack of adequate shelter and food. The safe zone declared by the SLA is a sham. EFT wonders how long the International Community is going to keep numb over this unraveling catastrophe.

EFT would like to note that 7GW is named after a wayward Singala "Prince" who wrested control of the island from the Tamil King Ellara. The Singalas' own historical chronicles - the Mahavamsa mentions that King Ellara was a fair and just ruler admired and respected by all ethno-religious communities in the island. The King was said to have put to death his own blood relations for violating Buddhist shrines. Our blog is a tribute to this popular King.

GoSL intelligence agencies who are holding the former second in command of the LTTE are reported to be changing his detention place regularly. The GoSL is keeping Poddu Amman away from both the Ceylon Judiciary system and India. Tamil Nadu is exerting severe pressure on Delhi to safely extract Poddu out of Ceylon.

The Indian External Affairs Minister - Pranab Mukherjee is in Ceylon to discuss security matters. However, our sources tell us the visit is a sham designed to appease Tamil Nadu sentiments. The Congress led Indian Government has never shown any real intentions to address Tamil grievances, the Congress washed their hands off the Tamil issue following the assassination of Rajiv Ghandhi. The visit is a show of face to the Congress coalition partners in Tamil Nadu. India is trying to fool Tamils by putting on these diplomatic displays, Tamils however aren't taken in by these dishonest tactics. Sources also tell us the India is turning its table against the LTTE and is colluding with the GoSL in hindering our liberation struggle by providing military and logistical support to the SLDF. North Indian politicos who are the kingmakers in the Congress party are pressurising the center to be anti LTTE as they fear a Tamil Nadu insurgency if the LTTE is given a base to operate in south India.

Meanwhile SLA's 58th division has entered the Visuamadhu junction in A35 and is struggling to wrest control in the Visuamadhu village. EFT will keep our readers posted on the new developments.

EFT would like to clarify that the Supreme Leader is still in Tamil Eelam and commanding our troops from the front.

EFT would like to request our readers to continue participating in the opinion poll. The results of the poll will be published on the 4th of February.
