The Sinhalese are learning that the guns which mowed down the Tamils will next be turned on them, as totalitarian regimes have done for centuries the world over. The Tamil people are being brutalised as never before, an Army of Occupation is running the Tamil areas (and behaving as such), and the country, far from flowing with milk and honey, is spiralling down into chaos. The Sinhala government’s claim that the “entire problem in Sri Lanka is (Tamil) terrorism”, and that once the ‘terrorists’ are “wiped out”, the land will be flowing with milk and honey, has not happened. With their elimination, the Tamil civilian population has been at the mercy of a brutal, undisciplined, Sinhala Army, that is running amok, doing what it pleases with no questions asked, and certainly with no accountability. They stood between a succession of murderous Sinhalese governments and the Tamil people. Whatever the Tamil Tigers have done or not done, one thing is beyond question. Not surprisingly it is now falling apart. It is this, more than any other factor that has prevented the building of a nation. The ‘problem’ was, and still is, Sinhala-Buddhist chauvinism, and Sinhala political opportunism to get the votes of the majority Sinhalese (74% of the population) to get into or remain in power. The reality is that they were not the problem but the result of the problem. The Government of Sri Lanka claims that the Tamil Tigers were the problem. Sister Eliza released on bail is due to appear before court on the 15th of December.

Last week, the Achbishop of the Catholic Church, Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith announced the boycott of all government functions during the festive season in protest against the arrest of the nun. "We expected further than an apology and present details in a manner that helps the nuns to be freed from their predicament" he added. Spokesman for the Archbishop of the Catholic Church in Colombo, Father Benedict Joseph told BBC Sandeshaya that he welcomed the government's apology. "If there had been any failings in handling this case, the government will take steps to rectify them" Minister Rambukwella said. Police raided the convent last week and arrested Sister Mary Eliza, superior nun of the Missionaries of Charity convent on suspicion of her involvement in child-trafficking. The apology by the cabinet minister responsible for the subject is a clear indication of the government's stand on this matter" Cabinet Spokesman Minister Keheliya Rambukwella told media on Thursday. "This is a serious and very sensitive issue. Sri Lanka Government says it apologises for the raid of Missionaries of Charity Convent in Moratuwa and the arrest of its superior nun. The evidence clearly establishes that there was fight where both assaulted each other and Bharatha fell and Dumindha was on top of him. The entry wound and the surrounding areas which shows excessive tattooing and Synge marks and deposits around entry wound the clearly shows the proximity within which shot was fired at Dumindha Silva the distance may not be more than 30 centimeters and the position of the head and the entry and the exit wounds would establish that Dumindha was looking down and the shot was fired from below. However, while so far no investigation has been carried out about any of these matters, no action has been taken to arrest Baratha Lakshman’s gang of thugs. Similarly the gang of thugs who accompanied Baratha Lakshman at the scene of the Mulleriyawa incident is still at large and it has been reported that all of them used firearms at the time of the incident.
