LOL! You people are such Partisan Hacks it is not even funny!

If the UNP picked up the majority of the seats, and they almost did, then NONE of you would be complaining (except the Eelamists who are Delusional Fascism supporters who will settle for nothing but Prabhakaran as their One True God),… all you people will say the UNP won Fair and Square… You would be hailing the UNP victory and praising the new found freedom of the Eastern Province. You would not be complaining about petty Election Mischief or insignificant voter fraud, you would be focusing on the big Picture Politics of the Election as you should be doing,…but instead you cry.

That is the Truth, isn’t it?.

*** Mark this. There will be no development in the east. There will be no removal of military presence from the east. ***

(Yawn)

we have heard this barking before… when you said the East will not be cleared,… it was… when you said there would be no Elections,… there were… and now you can continue to Naysay for the next 25 years all you want…

You never gave it a chance, and you continue to condemn it. Shame on you. I’ll put my faith in the current administration as they continue to deliver on their promises. And I will certainly take the imperfections of their accomplishments over the FAILED FASCISM and MILITARISM of the LTTE….

Thanks Devinda F for being the Andare of this present day tragi comedy of ethnic errors.
Mark this. There will be no development in the east. There will be no removal of military presence from the east. There will be no devolution of powers even under the 13th Amendment to the extent allowed in the South.
But, there will be plundering and limitless corruption under this Rajapaksa regime.
If you can afford to be in Sri Lanka like us, you will no what the ground reality is.
Keep waging war. Keep crying for war. Make this poor country bleed for your stupid ego.
Thank you

I agree with Devinda here. East has democratic elections unlike one party Nazi dictatorship in Vanni. Pilleyan and Hisbulla should share the CM post and develop the province so to become the Bread and Milk basket of Sri Lanka.

The writer has given a clear picture of the situation in the East. In fact, there is nothing that makes free and fair in the East. When compared with the last Presidential election where the people had voted in favour of the UNP than the PA, this time the strange honeymoon of the Government with Pillaiyan group supported by Hisbullah faction poses a strange question whether Pillaiyan or Hisbullah possess the eligibility to lead the people of the East. There is also an issue whether the people had acted independently given the fact that there many complaints of rigging. It is true that the Tamils were always at the receiving end. The mentality of Hisbullah was seen as swollen headed figure when his supporters threatened the journalists to address him as His Excellency at a time when Pillaiyan under the LTTE had already targeted and Hisbullah escaped several times. Hisbullah also has secret links with international Muslim Terrorist Organizations. The mentality of Pillaiyan was seen when he was assured security by the Government to leave the LTTE and went to the extent of even avoiding Karuna. Agaist such a background it may be a difficult task for the government to decide who should be the Chief Minister. But the President was clever in making the Hisbullah and Pillaiyan clash for the race of Chief Minister after weakening the LTTE and Pillaiyan Group.
The present situation reflects the line of thinking between the persons given below.

Hisbullah Versus Hakeem
Hisbullah Versus Pillaiyan
Pillaiyan Versus the LTTE
UNP Versus the PA

Against this background, it is early to comment who is going to tumble. One thing is clear. The possibility of the LTTE to make in roads into the East cannot be ruled out for which the sinking of the Supply ship at Trincomalee and the bomb explosion at Amparai stands as clear signal. Will the Sinhalese believe there be a peaceful provincial government in the Eastern Province?

Suresh,

Nothing written here or anywhere else will convince you of anything you have not already convinced yourself of…

The Elections happened, they were a success, there was relatively no election mischief, and the Polls reflect what everyone in Sri Lanka knows that you Misinformed and Delusional Diaspora don’t…The LTTE are finished in the East…Done! Gone! Kaput!

And as time progresses and the East develops, the disparity between what you say here and the reality on the ground is going to be Staggeringly Comical…

Tamils and Muslims in the east evicted the cruel warlord Velu and his terror regime because they were sick and tired of being cannon fodder for Jaffna Tamils living in England.

It is the ordinary Tamils who are paying the price, especially those in areas not controlled by the Tigers. “Nowhere in Sri Lanka are the Tamils safe,” a Western diplomat told me in Colombo. “What’s happening here is de facto ethnic cleansing,” as Tamils flee for India or the Middle East and beyond. “The government doesn’t seem to care if they all leave.” Toronto Star.

Everything else is just talk, it is time to work for a real change ..like Barak Obama says…Change from top down and bottom up..no one from the old regimes …all new faces..invite me
if you need me., but you will find many thousands of men and women through out the length and breath of Greater Sri-Lanka.

Good luck ..get going.
