EXPOSING THE NORWEGIAN HIDDEN AGENDA TO COLONISE SRI LANKA

27 augustus 2006, 22:44

Mr. Lalith Athulathmudali was appointed as the Minister of National
Security after the Tamil riots of 1983. He was then resident at
Polhengoda. I joined the Minister and his brother Dayantha for
breakfast at their Plohengoda residence one day. While at breakfast the
Minister related to me a very interesting story, which would prove
beyond reasonable doubt that the Norwegians were even at that point of
time surreptitiously helping the LTTE to settle Indian Tamil families
in the strategic area of Weli Oya, in order to link the Northern
Province to the Eastern Province with a continuous land mass inhabited
by Tamils.

Mr. Lalith Athulathmudali informed me that one or two families of
estate Tamils were off loaded at the Madu Road Railway Station each
time the train made its journey to repatriate Indian Tamils from the
upcountry to Mannar from where they were taken by ferry to India. The
off loaded Indian Tamil families were smuggled to the Manik Farm in
Cheddikulam and remained there for a week or two. If the Police failed
to locate the missing families, they were next transported to Weli Oya,
where many Tamil entrepreneurs had taken a massive stretch of land on
lease, under the pretext of helping the government in its food
production drive.

The Dollar, Kent, Ceylon Theater Farm etc owned by these Tamil
entrepreneurs was on this massive stretch of land in this strategic
area of Weli Oya that linked the Northern Province to the Eastern
Province. The Indian Tamil families were settled in this strategic area
to establish a continuous land mass inhabited by Tamils, between the
Northern Province and the Eastern Province. The funding for this
surreptitious effort I was told by the Minister was made available
through Redd Barna and its chief executive officer was none other than
Mr. Jon Westborg, who later became the ambassador for Norway in Sri
Lanka.

The Minister Lalith Athulathmudali was subsequently responsible for
getting these Special leases cancelled. The farms owned by these Tamil
entrepreneurs were taken over by the state and handed over to the
Prisons Department, for the purpose of running open prison camps. The
Ministers intention were to ultimately alienate land to prisoners of
good behavior in an effort not only to rehabilitate them, but also to
utilize them as a buffer to prevent separatist terrorists from
occupying this strategic area.

When the LTTE realized that their effort at gaining control of this
strategic area, by settling Tamil families with the assistance of
Norwegian funding through Redd Barna had been effectively neutralized
by the Minister of National Security, with the establishment of open
prison camps, they decided to attack these camps in Weli Oya and in
doing so committed an unprecedented atrocity in the mass murder of over
a hundred inmates, living in the open prison camps of Dollar and Kent
farms in 1984. After this brutal attack by the LTTE, the then
government was compelled to stabilize this area by bringing it under
Army control. With the presence of the Army it was made possible for
the government to develop this area under the Mahawali E System, with
the establishment of many farmer settlements.

Since the establishment of these farmer settlements in Weli Oya, they
have been subjected to many LTTE attacks from the jungles of
Mullaitivu. However the Army has succeeded in repulsing these attacks
and LTTE has failed in their effort to regain control of this strategic
area though they were successful in occupying the village of Gajabapura
in Weli Oya on or about 1997, with the fall of the Army forward defence
line from Kanagarayankulam to Nedunkeni.

The only access route to this strategic area of Weli Oya from the
predominantly Sinhala populated North Central Province is through
Kebithigollewa and Padaviya in the Anuradhapura district. The direct
attacks on Weli Oya having failed thus far it is possible that the LTTE
is now trying a flanking attack on the Sinhala villages in the
Kebithigollewa Divisional Secretariat Area, in an effort to drive away
the people in these villages and thus to destabilize Weli Oya. The
claymore mine explosion that killed 64 innocent Sinhala villagers on
the 15th of June 2006 at Halmillawatiya and the subsequent claymore
mine attack at Kalepuliyankulama that killed two home guards, may be a
well planned effort to drive away the Sinhala villages situated along
the only approach road to Weli Oya.

I made a visit to these threatened villages in the Kebithigollewa area
with Mr.S.L.Gunasekera, Wing Commander Ranjith Ratnapala and Mr. Gamini
Amarasekera recently and found that most of the Sinhala villages
situated on the only approach to Weli Oya have been abandoned and that
most of the families that were living in these villages have now
shifted to camps for internally displaced that have been established
near the Kebithigollewa town by INGOs such as UNHCR and ICRC.

The efforts made by the Divisional Secretary to resettle the abandoned
villages are proving to be futile because not only food clothing and
shelter, but also other gifts such as agricultural implements are being
issued to inmates in these IDP camps. The people are informed by these
INGOs that all these facilities and more will only be given to those
who are resident in the IDP camps and not to those who resettle in
their former villagers.

It is a well known fact that the majority of the local staff in both
the UNHCR and the ICRC is Tamil.. Therefore there is always the
possibility that the LTTE is influencing the Tamil local staff in both
these INGOs to expedite the exodus of Sinhalese families from the
threatened villages into IDP camps.

If these IDP camps are allowed to continue it will firstly benefit the
INGOs to collect funds abroad. Much of these funds will be utilized for
administrative purposes wherein the staff working for these INGOs will
utilize the donations received for accommodation in the best of hotels
and for transport in the best of four wheel drive vehicles, while the
internally displaced will receive a pittance of what is received as
donations. Secondly as mentioned before the exodus of people from the
Sinhala villages on the approach road to Weli Oya will destabilize the
Weli Oya settlements that were established by the government with so
much time effort and money.

The IDP camps if allowed to continue will contribute towards destroying
the agricultural based village life in the Kebithigollewa area. Much of
the agricultural lands owned by those who have left the villages have
already been destroyed by wild elephants. These IDP families are being
issued with dry rations over and above what they actually need. The
storage space in the tents issued to the displaced families is limited.
Therefore much of what they receive in excess is stolen by others and
this has led to much disunity within the camps. The people who have
shifted into these camps who were once hard working cultivators are now
getting used to living off the dole and are becoming very lazy and
lethargic.

During our visit we found that agricultural implements such as
mammoties, pick axes and axes had been issued to inmates in the IDP
camps. These are of little or no use to them as they have already
abandoned their agricultural property. The men will we were told sell
these items in town to shops at what ever price that is offered, as
they are now doing with items that they receive over and above their
need. The money thus received is invariably used to purchase liquor.
Most men in IDP camps return to their family tents in the evenings
drunk. When their wives protest at their drunkenness they beat up their
wives. The family unity is thus shattered and an environment is
naturally created where it is difficult to bring up children. The
privacy that women enjoyed in their village homes are also not
available in IDP camps and this brings many social problems in its
wake.

Considering all the ill effects in continuing with IDP camps at
Kebithigollewa it is suggested that the President instructs the
Divisional Secretary to draw up a master plan to resettle the abandoned
Sinhala villages in Kebithigollewa as soon as the forward defence line
is completed. The INGOs who now work with the blessings of the Minister
of Disaster Relief, who do not give any support whatsoever to the
efforts made by the Divisional Secretary to resettle the abandoned
villages, should be instructed to work according to this master plan
drawn up by the Divisional Secretary.

All concerned citizen and volunteer organizations could help by
contacting the Divisional Secretary, telephone number 0252298638 and
assisting him to resettle the displaced families in their villages.
They could also help by distributing whatever donations they wish to
give through the Divisional Secretary to the families who opted to
remain or have resettled in their villages despite the LTTE threat.
They should refrain from helping families in IDP camps, which are being
supported by INGOs with a hidden agenda.

The immediate requirement however is the construction of the forward
defence line, before the onset of the rainy season. The Divisional
secretary informed me that he in consultation with the Army has
organized a sramadana on 20th August 2006, to expedite the construction
work on the forward defence line. He needs to purchase implements such
as axes, kathi, mammoties etc to the value of Rs.65000/=. These
implements will be handed over to the Army after the sramadana, for the
future maintenance of this forward defence line. Those interested in
contributing for this project could contact Mr. Preethi Kolonnage of
the Thawalama Development Foundation at his office telephone number
2481527. He has already commenced a collection account in this regard.

Dr. (Mrs.) Anula Wijesundara has also organized a very worthy project
to show gratitude to the families who refused to fall pray to the
strategy of LTTE terrorists by leaving the threatened villages in
Kebitigollewa. She has intentions of donating a bicycle to each of
these families through Success Colombo. Those interested in joining
this project could contact her at her home telephone number 2810875.

The valuable Sinhala Buddhist culture in the villages of Kebithigollewa
that was protected and preserved over the years by our ancestors is
under severe threat, by the actions of INGOs now at work in IDP camps.
Our culture, our values and our future generation is more important to
us than the money that the INGOs are bringing into this country for
what they call disaster relief work. If their activities in
Kebithigollewa are well analyzed, it would be found that their work is
disaster induction rather than disaster relief.
