Boycotting the Commonwealth summit will not achieve post war reconciliation and accountability and the right thing for the British government to do is to engage, the country’s Prime Minister David Cameron said in an op-ed.
David Cameron and Rajapaksa
“Four years after the conflict no one has been held to account for grave allegations of war crimes and sexual violence, journalists are routinely intimidated and thousands of people have yet to find out what has happened to their missing relatives”, Cameron wrote in Tamil Guardian today.
Cameron said the right thing to do is to engage. “To visit the country. To shine the international spotlight on the lack of progress in the country. And to have frank conversations with the Sri Lankan government about what they must do to address the concerns of the international community and to improve the daily life of thousands of Tamils and civilians across all communities” he wrote.
Cameron said he will visit the north of the country – the first leader to do so since Sri Lankan independence in 1948. “It is precisely so that I can see the situation on the ground with my own eyes and meet people directly affected by the conflict,” he said.

Dear Mr.Cameron
The regime is branded as “master spinners” by Amnesty International.
The regime pulled the wools over the eyes of the IC including ICRC, UNHCR etc duting the last day of the war.
When you go to Jaffna the rgime will order the army back in to the barracks, will show off the few roads and bridges they built and the show case resettlement they have ready made for foreign dignatories like you, no doubt there will be a odd one Tamil man and woman, in thoer payroll saying how happy they are under the Rajapakse’s
The master spinners and liars will ensure you have no access to the real situation

First the first time ever A British Prime Minister has invited the Tamils to No10 Downing Street to discuss Britains’s policy against Sri Lanka and to listen to the arguments on CHOGAM.
He also has decided to go to Jaffana.First ever British Prime Minister to visit the NE
These two events are significant events for the Tamils of Sri Lanka.
As I said before CHOGAM is Great Britains Party and they cannot simply no go to thier own Party. CHOGAM is not about Sri Lanka but about a Commonwealth Tamasha.

Dear Prime Minister,
You have decided to go to attend the CHOGM despite the concerns raised by various people about the crimes against humanity by the regime in Sri Lanka. You must remember hundred thousands of people marched through the streets of London to stop the massacre of Tamils during the last stage of the war in May 2009. The foreign ministers of Britain and France made a personal visit to meet the government of Sri Lanka to request to stop the war but the regime branded them as terrorists and send them back. Within a few days of the return over 40000 innocent civilians were massacred and after the end of the war thousands of people were disappeared and from that day onwards a military rule is running in the North and East Sri Lanka. Tamil people of Sri lanka strongly believe that the western nations including Britain collaborated with this regime during the war against Tamils who demanded justice for nearly six decades of oppression and genocide in various forms.
When you visit North, you will find excellent carpet roads, hundreds of Banks, and new buildings. You will find many civilian processions supporting the current regime,opposing LTTE and TNA. You won’t find any uniformed military personal in the roads. You won’t find any evidence of mass graves or hospitals damaged during the war. All the mass graves are under the buildings. However, there may be few hundred people come out to tell the truth about disappearances if they are allowed or not under surveillance.
The Tamil Nation is under military rule and there are no international institution to protect them. It is a duty and responsibility of Britain to ensure that Tamils have get justice. I hope you will put all the pressures to make sure:
1. Start the negotiation between Tamil representatives and the Government from the point of they stopped in 2009 based on the peace accord 2002 to find a permanent political solution with the mediation of International partners.
2. Withdrawal of military establishments and the involvement of military in the civil administration.
3. International impartial investigation of the war crimes and human rights violation.

Please explain to us as to why white man’s presence on this island is so important to the stupid Tamils and stupid Sinhalese.
Is it about “White Man’s Buden”?

Leave what happened pre Zero Hour. Give us an answer for what happened after the War was declared finish on 18Th.
The Major Issue is what happened after the Surrender of LTTE and its annihilation on the Battle Field. All know the match was played to a finish without umpire referee and judge.
Most evidence on HR are about what happened after the match was declared won and over by Rajapassa when he landed at the BIA and kissed the Soil to the Camera.
Similar things happened to the JVP surrendees, and at Bindunuwewa Camps and Prisons. What has Come out is only the tip of the iceburg.
If you want to learn something from Mr please say so as Britain too can have similar problem whem you want Crown the new Monarh. I am sure you have not forgotten Diana.
