48 Hour Ceasefire: A military Gimmick

By: Mahen

(January 31, London, Sri Lanka Guardian) It is reliably learnt by the writer that the Rajapakse triggered 48 hour truce is yet another military strategy adopted by the Rajapakse regime. The Ceyloneese President Rajapakse declared a 48 hour truce in the pretence of facilitating civillian movements.

Since the 29th evening many Special Forces and Commando units who were kept in reserve during the last few weeks were seen taking up positions in the front line. This goes on to show the notorious attitude of the GOSL where they continue to exploit the humanitarian aspect of the LTTE. It is further revealed that the idea of a ceasefire was manufactured by the wily anti Thamil duo of Shiv Shankar Mennon and Palitha Kohona with the objective of appeasing the international community. Mennon has further gone on to arrange the Delhi based NDTV to carry out propaganda against the LTTE to brainwash the intelligent Thamil people in Thamil Nadu.

In the battlefront, the Singaleese Army continued their struggle at Chalai. As predicted weeks ago by the writer. LTTE is putting up stiff resistance there and SLA's 55th Division troops are trying to advance through very heavy casualties. Backed up by the tallest earth bund, the SLLI troops of the SLA have seen falling by the dozens in the event of their advances.-Sri Lanka Guardian
