COLOMBO 990 AND PREVIOUS \r\n\r\n     \u00b6B. STATE 94541 \r\n\r\nClassified By: Ambassador Jeffrey Lunstead.  1.4(b,d) \r\n\r\n\u00b61. (C) Summary:  Ambassador met Sri Lankan Foreign Secretary\r\nPalihakkara and Peace Secretariat Chief and head of the Oslo\r\ndelegation Kohona on June 13 in the wake of the Liberation\r\nTigers of Tamil Eelam's (LTTE) refusal to enter talks with\r\nthe Government of Sri Lanka (GSL) in Oslo on June 8-9 on the\r\nstatus of the Sri Lanka Monitoring Mission (SLMM). (Ref A)\r\nPalihakkara and Kohona stated they believed the LTTE's\r\nsurprise card at Oslo was meant to assure the Tamil diaspora\r\nthat the EU ban of May 30 had not deterred the LTTE, and that\r\nthe LTTE wanted a forum to release their Oslo Communiqu that\r\nreaffirmed Tamil rights to self determination and possibly\r\nalluded to military action.  The Ambassador briefed both on\r\nthe U.S.'s initiative to engage fifteen countries to stem\r\nLTTE financing and weapons procurement, which both GSL\r\nofficials accepted with genuine thanks and promise of\r\ncooperation. \r\n\r\n---------------\r\nThe Tiger Card\r\n--------------- \r\n\r\n\u00b62. (C) Ambassador met with Foreign Secretary Palihakkara on\r\nJune 13 to discuss the situation after the LTTE scuttling of\r\ntalks with the GSL in Oslo.  Palihakkara said he had opted\r\nout of accompanying Foreign Minister Mangala Samaraweera to\r\nOslo to meet with the Norwegians June 12 in order to wait for\r\nOslo delegation head and Peace Secretariat chief Palitha\r\nKohona's debrief upon the latter's return to Sri Lanka. \r\n\r\n\u00b63. (C) Taking an evenhanded tone, Palihakkara stated that he\r\nsurmised the LTTE's motives for playing a \"surprise card\" in\r\nOslo were two fold.  First, they wanted to demonstrate to the\r\nTamil diaspora, which in large part funds the terrorist\r\norganization either willingly or unwillingly, that the E.U.\r\nban had neither affected their fundraising and recruitment\r\nabilities nor their resolve.  Second, Palihakkara contended,\r\nthe LTTE wanted a well-publicized platform from which to\r\nrelease their clearly premeditated \"Oslo Communiqu\" of June\r\n9: the document may have presaged LTTE military or other\r\nviolent action against the GSL. \r\n\r\n------------\r\nGut Feeling\r\n------------ \r\n\r\n\u00b64. (C) While Palihakkara admitted the possibility of \"nasty\"\r\nTiger violence, he said, \"My gut feeling is that the LTTE is\r\nmore posturing than substance.  I don't think there will be a\r\nmajor security problem.\"  On the issue of LTTE refusal to\r\naccept EU nationals as members of the SLMM, Palihakkara\r\nrecommended patience.  \"The LTTE needs the SLMM as much as\r\nanyone else.\"  Similarly, Norway is \"correctly facing a lot\r\nof criticism by trying to accommodate the LTTE\" but \"Norway\r\nmust be given some space\" to facilitate. \r\n\r\n----------------------\r\nDevolution Think Tank\r\n---------------------- \r\n\r\n\u00b65. (C) Palihakkara noted that President Rajapaksa is taking a\r\nproactive approach to the peace process following the failure\r\nof the Oslo talks.  Three initiatives include: the\r\nappointment of a bipartisan committee or \"think tank\" of Sri\r\nLankan academics to draft a proposal for maximum devolution\r\nof power to the North and East; \"humanitarian focal points\"\r\nto deal with displaced persons in the East; and increased\r\npolitical dialog with the pro-LTTE Tamil National Alliance\r\n(TNA) and other Tamil groups.  \"The TNA,\" Palihakkara added,\r\n\"is also in an impossible situation.  They are afraid.\"\r\n(Presumably Palihakkara meant that the TNA has little choice \r\n\r\nCOLOMBO 00000998  002 OF 003 \r\n\r\nbut to toe the LTTE line.) \r\n\r\n--------------------------------------------- -\r\nDemarche Delivered on Sri Lanka Contact Groups\r\n--------------------------------------------- - \r\n\r\n\u00b66. (C) The Ambassador told Palihakkara that the US is\r\ninviting fifteen other governments  to form overlapping\r\ncontact groups to address Tiger financing and weapons\r\nprocurement. Palihakkara agreed to reinforce Sri Lanka's\r\ninterest in working with the international community to bring\r\nan end to the conflict by reaching out to these nations'\r\nforeign offices after the US has made initial proposals, but\r\nto \"be economical\" in discussing the initiative until the USG\r\nwishes to make it known. \r\n\r\n\u00b67. (C) Ambassador impressed upon Palihakkara the importance\r\nand uniqueness of this initiative, since the LTTE does not\r\npose a world-wide threat or a terrorist threat to the US.  As\r\nthe move represents a big step outside of the vital national\r\ninterests of the US, the GSL must do everything in its power,\r\nthe Ambassador stressed, to make sure that the GSL's human\r\nrights record is clean. Palihakkara said he understood and\r\nwould use the Ambassador's message to influence others in the\r\nGSL. \r\n\r\n\u00b68. (C) Palihakkara was visibly pleased with the US's contact\r\ngroup initiative, saying \"We value your commitment to do\r\npeacemaking in a practical way.\"  The Ambassador stressed the\r\nneed not to announce or leak this initiative, and Palihakkara\r\nsaid he would keep the news in close-hold.<\/pre>\n<pre>LUNSTEAD<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":73472,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,2187,1,2375,27],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-73470","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-colombotelegraph","category-most-popular","category-news","category-stories","category-wikileaks"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
