A typical busy day at the cube office. People playing the XBox, people studying, and people just hanging out.
Eugene and Andrew sitting on the couch, and, uh, Ryan I think it is sitting with his back to me, playing the XBox.

Alfred Duriappah. The burning of the Jaffna library, which contained numerous valuable historical manuscripts of the Tamils, by Sinhalese policemen in 1981 convinced the radical youth that the Sinhala chauvinist government was bent on erasing them totally and that a.nned struggle was the only way to secure justice. The Black July riots of L983 by Sinhalese mobs, policemen and the army, that was given a free hand by the State and which caused the killing of over 4000 Tamils and the displacement of hundreds of thousands led to the intensification of Tamil armed resistance and its greater acceptance among the Tamils. The L"ITE, with its programme for a Socialist Tamil Eetam. consciously promoted the involvement of women, dalits and backward castes in its ranks and reached out to a wider section than the other parties. .
INDIAN INVOLVEMENT: Other militant groups also emerged in this period. The TELO was openly favoured by the Indian government. After its decimation by the LTIE, the RAW chose the EPRLF who were content to be the stooges of India. Only the L'ITE maintained its independent agenda and refused to be a junior partner of any power. Thus, when following the Indo-Sri Lanka accord the Indian Peace Keeping Force (IPKF) entered Sri Lanka, they launched their brutal assaults on the LTIE and the Tamil people. The IPKF also trained mercenary squads from the EPRLF in the name of 'Tamil National Army' to create terror among the local people. Ye~ the Tigers were able to secure a decisive victory over the Indian army owing to their mass support and the usage of guerrilla warfare. After that defea~ India has supplied arms to Sri I.;mka and also trained its armed forces, albeit covertly, mostly owing to fear of a backlash in Tamil Nadu. .
CONSOLIDATION AND CRISIS: After a series of military successes, the Ll"IE consolidated itself in the North and Eastern regions of Sri Lanka, having almost 15000 sq km under its control. When it entered into a Ceaseftre agreement with Sri Lanka in 2002. it was functioning as a de facto state. It ran schools, hospitals, relief teams, judiciary and police. But by this time, various international powers started stepping up their covert and overt support to Sri Lanka, especially after the media-generated paranoia on 'terrorism' after 9-11. The L'ITE was banned in various countries and people suspected to be its members/sympathizers were arrested in India, the USA, and France etc. While the movement of men and .
material for the LITE was clamped down, the governments of China, Israel, Russia, Pakistan, Libya and Iran gave extensive military support to Sri Lanka. .
The defection of Karuna, the Eastern Commander of the LITE, in 2004 which was partly engineered by the Lankan government came as a major blow to the Tigers. The December 2004 Tsunami also greatly damaged human resources and infrastructure in Tiger controlled areas. With Rajapaksa's election in 2005 the ceasefire began to deteriorate. On July 2006, the Sri Lankan military started its full scale offensive against the Tamils with blessings from various international powers. Numerous atrocious acts like the Chencholai orphanage bombing of August 2006 which killed 61 Tamil children were committed by the Lankan .
armed forces with impunity. .

were used on civilian populations. Non-combatants were subject to tortures and sexual violence. Media freedom was curtailed and vigilante groups were propped to violently snuff out any democratic voices. The murders of journalists Taraki Sivara~ Lasantha Wickramatunga and P. Devakumaran are ghastly examples. When the Lankan government declared on May 19th that the war was over and that peace was ahead, it failed to mention the bloody trail that it had left behind. .
'POST-WAR' SRI LANKA: The Permanent People's Tribunal in a bearing on January 2010 found the Sri Lankan government guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity. Chomsky compared the Sri Lankan war on the Tamils to the atrocities in Rwanda. Despite claims to champion 'peaceful co-existence' the Sri Lankan government has been consistently pursuing militarization and colonization of Tamil areas since May 2009, especially in the absence of an organized resistance from the Tamils. Summary executions by mercenary gangs and the army, abductions, illegal detentions and rape are commonplace 'Suicide' rates among Tamils are one of the highest in the world and many suffer from psychologjcal traumas. .
Demographics of the region are changed by State supported Sinhalese settlements and establishment of army camps in Tamil areas. Many Tamil lands have now been used for foreign projects under the guise of government schemes. The assaults on the cultural level are also happening side by side. Besides wanton destruction of Tamil Churches and Temples, there are attempts to change the names of Tamil localities into Sinhala, thereby denying them their local history. Desecration of statues of Tamil martyrs has been accomplished with systematic efforts. In July 2010. the army demolished the Tamil war heroes' cemetery in Thenmaradaachi, Jaffna, in order to build an anny base over it. The purpose of this is two fold: one, to show the Tamils once and for all who their superiors are. Two, to erase aJI memories of resistance from the thoughts of the Tamils. Despite aU this, dreams persist, words are spoken and stories are told. .
CCON feels that at a stage where various national-liberation struggles are being brutally suppressed and are undergoing strategic and ideological changes, it is imperative for us to learn from various movements. And since the so-called 'Sri Lanka solution' is being upheld by various oppressor countries, we feel it is necessary to discuss how this 'final solution' turned out to be and what it signifies for the Tamils and other oppressed nationalities. .

Cette activité festive s’est déroulée le 30 octobre dernier à la Faculté de médecine afin de souligner différents moments importants des 40 années d’enseignement de la médecine familiale des UMF Haute-Ville, Laurier et Laval au sein du réseau de l’Université Laval. Pour l’occasion, nos bâtisseurs, des superviseurs, des résidents et des membres du personnel administratif de ces trois UMF ainsi que des membres du CSSS Vieille-Capitale et de l’Agence de la santé et des services sociaux de la Capitale-Nationale étaient rassemblés. Près 80 personnes ont pris part à cette activité de reconnaissance.
There was a thin cloud cover all day, and I could see a ring around the sun most of the time. This is the view at breakfast from the deck picnic table.
