Trump Asked to Stop U.S. MCC’s Fund $900 Million to Sri Lankan War Criminals: Tamils for Trump

NEW YORK, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, February 20, 2017 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Before the end of the Obama administration, with the advice of then US Secretary of State Kerry, President Obama approved US MCC (Millennium Challenge Corporation) funding to Sri Lanka on December 17, 2016. US Tamils are asking our new President Trump to stop this MCC funding to Sri Lankan war criminals.

Sri Lankan President Sirisena played a role in the killing of large numbers of Tamil civilians during the last weeks of the ethnic war that ended in May 2009. President Sirisena was the acting defense minister during the last two weeks of the war when a large number of Tamils were killed and Tamil women were gang-raped by Sri Lankan Security forces. According to the Economist, January 3rd, 2015 edition: "Sirisena is hardly a beacon of hope for the Tamils: he was acting as defense minister in the nightmarish final fortnight of the war." 

$900 million funding by the Obama administration to a government headed by a war criminal is makes no sense to any civilized people. The current Sri Lankan government is a recycling of the former Rajapaksa’s government. Most of the ministers from Rajapaksa’s government are still part of the current government.

Tamils are still suffering from the Sri Lankan army occupation; Tamil youths and women are still sexually assaulted. The Tamils are still living in interim camps. Many white van abductions are taking place. There is no information on thousands of missing Tamils.

There is no political settlement, nor any accountability. A solution looks impossible when one considers the last seven decades. Sri Lanka is talking of an extension to implement the UNHRC resolution of Sri Lankan war crimes that were committed in May 2009 by the Sri Lankan Sinhalese army in the “No Fire Zone” that resulted in the death of over 145,000 innocent Tamils, the rape of Tamil women; created 80, 000 widows and 50,000 orphans of Tamil children and left thousands of Tamils missing.

The purpose of this extension is to deceive Tamils and the UN. As of now no single recommendation has been executed by the Sri Lankan government. In general, the purpose of an extension is to complete a job that has been continuing for a long time. In Sri Lankan cases no job has been started in order to fulfill the UNHRC resolution, but only a few cosmetic arrangements have been made.

Illegal Sinhalese settlements continue to exist in the Tamil Homeland and the Sinhalese have taken control of everything in the Tamil homeland. This is causing chaos, misery, and economic suppression of the Tamil population, and is jeopardizing the Tamil culture.

A Tamil spokesman stated that “We hope that President Trump will halt this US MCC’s funding of almost a billion dollars to stop the Sri Lankan oppression and genocidal killings of Tamils. This money should be withdrawn until Sri Lanka agrees to a credible and speedy international war crime investigation and a permanent two-state political solution that will allow the Tamils to live in peace in a secure Tamil Homeland.”

The Tamil spokesman continued, saying, “Mr. President is compassionate and good-hearted person. This billion dollar can be put in use in the US for valuable cause.”

About Tamils for Trump

Tamils for Trump is a political activist group comprised of Americans; the majority are Tamil Americans. They believe that over 145,000 Tamil civilians living in Sri Lanka were massacred during the last weeks of the Sri Lankan ethnic war. They have also observed post war behaviors of the Sri Lankan Sinhalese victors, and concluded that Tamils in Sri Lanka will only be safe when this war torn island is divided into two individual self-governing nations. 

It is of interest to note that , according to UN Internal Review Report on Sri Lanka, around 70,000 Tamil civilians may have been massacred in the last six months of the ethnic war. Also, Rt. Rev. Dr. Rayappu Joseph, the Catholic Bishop of Mannar in Sri Lanka , gave a presentation to the Sri Lankan Lessons Learnt & Reconciliation
