A political solution to the ethnic issue will not be found until a new Parliament is convened after a likely General Election in March 2010 as the President Mahinda Rajapakse Government expects a clear 2/3rd majority to pass a new Constitution based on the All Party Representative Committee (APRC) proposals, the APRC chairman and Minister Tissa Vitarana said on October 4, according to Daily Mirror. The position so far maintained by the Government was that President Rajapakse will include a formula to settle the ethnic issue in his manifesto at the next Presidential Elections expected in January 2010. The Government is on record that the Presidential Elections will be held in January followed by the Parliamentary elections in March next year. “It is not correct to say that the government has neglected a political solution following the military victory over the LTTE in May. President Rajapakse is under tremendous pressure locally and internationally including India to come up with a political solution. But it is a long process and cannot be done in a hurry. The APRC is aware of the weaknesses of the 13th Amendment and has incorporated proposals to mitigate them,” Vitarana stated.

Palitha Kohona, Permanent Representative of Sri Lanka to the United Nations has said that Sri Lanka had fallen victim to dangerous forms of maritime terrorism, Daily News reported. Speaking at the UN general debate of the Third Committee (Social, Humanitarian and Cultural) on crime prevention, criminal justice and international drug control he stated that following the recent defeat of a terrorist group [Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE)], it had been discovered that their networks were being transferred to arms smuggling and drug trafficking on the international arena. He noted that terrorist groups with their transnational linkages and multi-faceted criminal networks generated a vast and complex mix of criminal activities, ranging from fund-raising, using overseas bases, terrorist financing, money laundering, arms procurement and other organized criminal activities, all of which were interrelated. The transportation of large consignments of sophisticated equipment and lethal cargo to provide logistical support to terrorist groups continued to pose a threat to maritime security. Weapons transported by sea were reaching more than one group. He stressed the importance of achieving global consensus on a comprehensive normative framework for international cooperation on terrorism.

22 suspected Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) cadres went on trial on October 12 for running an extortion racket among Paris's (France) ethnic Tamil Diaspora to fund their separatist struggle in Sri Lanka, according to Straits Times. The defendants include Nadaraja Matinthiran, the alleged leader in France of the LTTE, which is accused of extorting some five million euros (S$10 million) from the country's 75,000 Tamils. Also in the dock is a group called the Tamil Coordination Committee in France, believed to be a legal front for the LTTE, which has been listed as a terrorist organisation by the European Union since 2006. Most of the Paris suspects were arrested in April 2007 and charged with criminal conspiracy to commit acts of terrorism, financing of terrorism or racketeering to finance terrorism. It is believed that the LTTE exert a controlling influence over the political life of the 1.5-million-strong world Tamil Diaspora, in many cases levying a 'revolutionary tax' based on household size and income.

Government sources on October 12 said that there was absolutely no truth in the allegation that it planned to settle Sinhalese in the post-war Kilinochchi and Mullaitivu Districts. This was nothing but a barefaced lie, ministerial sources told The Island. In fact, the ruling United People's Freedom Alliance (UPFA) spokesman Minister Dallas Alahapperuma told a recent press conference at the Mahaweli Centre that the Government would not in anyway try to change the ethnic ratio in the northern and eastern provinces. Alahapperuma had said that not a single outsider had been allowed to settle in the East where re-settlement process was nearing completion. The Government’s strategy in the north, too, would be the same. Sources said that there was nothing clandestine about Sri Lanka’s resettlement and rehabilitation process. The allegation had been made by the Tamil National Alliance (TNA) at a meeting with a visiting delegation of Indian Parliamentarians from the southern Indian State of Tamil Nadu at India House in Colombo on October 10. The TNA Parliamentarians alleged that the Sri Lankan Government wants to change the Wanni’s demography by settling at least 30 percent Sinhalese in Kilinochchi and Mullaitivu Districts. The TNA delegation also charged that Buddhist stupas (heap) being built in Wanni with an intention to change the predominantly Tamil region’s culture and ethnicity. "There is a plan to change the demographic pattern in the Wanni area so that there is no such thing as a Tamil province," Suresh Premachandran, the TNA Member of Parliament for Jaffna, was quoted by The Hindu on October 12.

A United States (US)-based hedge-fund billionaire charged as part of an insider-trading case was investigated by US authorities for allegedly raising funds for the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), The Wall Street Journal reported, according to Daily News. The newspaper said federal agents had uncovered documents showing that Raj Rajaratnam, founder of the Galleon Group, was among several wealthy Sri Lankans in the US whose donations to a Maryland-based charity made their way to the LTTE. Rajaratnam, 52, was among six people arrested on October 16. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) said this is the largest-ever hedge-fund insider-trading case, the paper noted. Prosecutors allege Rajaratnam and his ring of alleged co-conspirators earned US$ 20 million in improper gains, the report said. Rajaratnam’s New York-based Galleon fund firm manages $ 3.7 billion in investments. As part of a separate terrorism probe, which was led by the FBI in Brooklyn, New York, eight other people have pleaded guilty to attempting to provide material support to the LTTE, designated as a terrorist organization by the United States, Wall Street Journal stated. Documents in a federal criminal complaint filed in US District Court in New York’s Eastern District include allegations by federal agents that money donated to a US charity called Tamil Rehabilitation Organization (TRO) USA, of Cumberland, Maryland, was funnelled to the LTTE, the paper noted. The case was brought against Karunakaran Kandasamy, described by prosecutors as the head of the US branch of the LTTE, the paper said. In the same case, an FBI agent cites documents uncovered in court-authorized searches as showing donations to TRO USA made by a person identified only as “individual B.”

The resettlement of the largest number of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) of the North took place on October 22, with 41,685 IDPs resettled in 108 Grama Niladhari (village-level office) Divisions of Vavuniya, Mannar, Mullaitivu and Kilinochchi Districts, according to Daily News. Senior Presidential Advisor and Member of Parliament (MP), Basil Rajapakse, said though Sri Lanka is a small country, they have been able to resettle a large number of IDPs in a short time though some countries were still not able to resettle displaced persons for years. "For instance some victims of the storm Katrina are still living in containers but we will resettle all our IDPs very soon. Up to now nearly 100,000 or almost half of the total number had been resettled," he said. He also stated that the entire North was now being developed at a rapid pace and infrastructure development and rehabilitation of all public utilities were being done.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) has pledged support for another armed struggle by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) in Sri Lanka for an independent Eelam, Asian Tribune reported on October 23. A Website (thatstamil.oneindia.in) quoted the CPI-Maoist General Secretary Muppala Lakshmana Rao alias Ganapathi as having told a pro-Naxalite (left wing extremist) Website in an interview that the Eelam struggle has not died down with the killing of LTTE chief Velupillai Prabhakaran, adding, "It is still alive and we shall support it with arms. The battle for Tamil Eelam is not lost yet. Eelam will blossom one day if all the (Tamil) groups come together and, with changed strategies, resume the struggle". He further said: "We shall smuggle in sophisticated arms in ultra-modern boats to the rebels to revive the armed struggle in Sri Lanka and nobody can stop us. We are formed groups for this". Admitting that the Eelam struggle has suffered a big setback, maybe a virtual defeat with the elimination of the LTTE, Ganapathi said, "The Eelam movement has now become rudderless, but the thirst for freedom has not died down among the Eelam Tamils". The Maoist leader also said, "We are not only willing to extend all help the Eelam Tamils achieve their independence but also guide leaders of resistance movements on how to achieve the goal of a Democratic People's Republic of Tamil Eelam". He denied having received any arms training from the LTTE and added, "but we always supported their struggle". He said "we did receive training from the renegades of the LTTE in the early 1980s, but not in recent times".

The Government has made remarkable progress in resettling the people displaced by the war between Government forces and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), the Minister of Disaster Management and Human Rights, Mahinda Samarasinghe said on October 26, according to Colombo Page. Addressing a media briefing in Colombo at the Presidential Secretariat, Minister Samarasinghe said the number of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) has been reduced from 288,000 to 196,088. The IDPs have been resettled in their original homes in a secure environment with all the assistance given to restore their livelihood, the Minister said. However, the IDPs have been given a choice of a location to resettle and they are not forced to choose the location, the Minister added. The resettlement was due to the successful de-mining process, said the Minister adding that the Government has purchased 24 de-mining machines and 1,000 trained soldiers are assisting the de-mining operations. In coming weeks more IDPs will be resettled as the de-mining process continues the Minister told the reporters.
