A simple commemoration was held in the weekend in the memory of 17 Tamils including three babies of the same family, from Paddithidal in the eastern Trincomalee district, who were killed while praying allegedly by the Sri Lankan military 39 years ago following a clash with LTTE.

The only reason drone warfare isn’t treated like nerve gas or land mines under international law is because it isn’t the West’s sons dying from it. As soon as it’s not Ivans being blown to bits but Johns and Toms the “discussion on the ethics of drone warfare” will become a mainstream talking point.
WarRoom Archives@WarRoomArchives

Drone warfare has reached such a level that many fighters have lost hope of escaping or resisting. For example, the final strike on the barracks is terrifying.

This entire saga only reveals how much the 6th amendment is still criminalising Tamil political and cultural expression: "No person shall directly or indirectly, in or outside [SL], support, espouse, promote, finance, encourage or advocate the establishment of a separate state".

UPDATE 2: After facing a massive backlash for 'recommending' Sri Lanka Customs to detain books by Tamil author P. Theepachelvan, Arts Council of Sri Lanka now claims that the decision was made by the Defence Ministry, which comes under the purview of President @anuradisanayake.

The State Literary Panel put together a group of external reviewers to read the books. Neither the process of selecting these reviewers nor a list of names has been made public. One of two Tamil members of the panel, Saminadan Wimal, said he was not involved in any way. examiner.media/defence-minist…

Yes, Eelam Tamils should not get distracted by the Tamil Nadu bonanza. But as the skit rightly indicates, the state of Eelam Tamil party politics does not inspire the confidence needed. It makes it easy to look for shallow leadership elsewhere. youtube.com/shorts/_S_YPGL…

What a betrayal of Thanthai Chelva's legacy to invite GL Peiris to deliver the annual memorial lecture. And that, while Tamils are planning to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Vaddukkoddai Resolution next month (picture from K Guruparan's facebook).

Western Marxists generally have two approaches to global south liberation projects; either you die and they love you or you’re a victim and you need their help. God forbid you attempt a national project of sovereignty, with all its contradictions, lest you be condemned.

During Real Sociedad’s title celebrations, the song “Txoria Txori” is being sung. Basque Country and Palestine flags can also be seen in the hands of supporters. “Txoria Txori” emerged during the repressive period of Francisco Franco’s dictatorship, when the Basque language and culture were banned. For that reason, it became one of the strongest symbols of Basque resistance, memory, and identity.

🪔 Annai Poopathy's sacrifice remembered in Batticaloa 38 years on Annai Poopathy, who fasted unto death in protest against the atrocities committed by Indian Peace Keeping Forces, was remembered in Batticaloa yesterday. Poopathy Kanapathipillai, was a member of the Navatkerny Mother's Front when she commenced a fast unto death on March 19, 1988 to protest the injustices and atrocities committed by the IPKF. On 19 April, after a month of abstaining from food, Annai Poopathy's fast ended with her death. tamilguardian.com/content/annai-…

Critically acclaimed Tamil writer @Theepachelvan who travelled from Kilinochchi to Sri Lanka's Ministry of Cultural Affairs in Colombo for talks with authorities to obtain the release of more than 300 of his books seized by customs had to return empty handed without a solution.

For the past 12 days, this issue has been consuming my normal life like “cyanide.” A moving appeal by Tamil author @Theepachelvan who was promised by the minister for culture that his work of fiction seized indefinitely by Sri Lanka customs will be released.
