Why some International Aid Agencies are so desperately want to go back to the Northeast of Sri Lanka

I am in complete agreement with everyone saying that there is a catastrophic humanitarian situation is unfolding in the North-east of Sri Lanka.

Interestingly, some of the international aid agencies and the states backing them are still calling the government to allow them unimpeded access to those areas.

Those international aid agencies, for more than two decade have had an unimpeded access to those areas but what have they done during that time and who is really responsible for the present crisis are the questions only they  themselves have to provide answers?

Unfortunately, what I cannot fathom is that how they are going to resolve this issue, which they have stealthily but greatly contributed to expand to this kind of unimaginable proportion.

First, with their backing and blessings managed to secure safe refuge in their backers’ territories to many murderers who had been waging a war against a democratically elected government.

Then they started not only by providing those murders their emotional support but also monetary and their expertise surreptitiously, so the war can be prolonged and subject the people in the country to abject misery but their economies would thrive.

The advancing Sri Lankan Army recently exhibited to the World Medias, some of the very sophisticated and heavy weaponry in pristine condition captured from the fleeing murderers.

Those captured weaponry are surely not assembled in those areas held by the murderers but brought in by Lock, Stock & Barrel.

Many of the heavy weaponry the murders had to abandon without even being used on the advancing Army or on the fleeing innocent civilians is because that they were still not very conversant with their operation, as the experts who came in guise of humanitarian works to teach the murderers how to use them had to leave those areas in a hurry when the Sri Lankan Army started its final push.

For many decades, the access by land to those areas which were under the control of the terrorist have been closely monitored and access by air was limited to a few European built crop-duster two seater aircraft with limited payload capacity and the only possibility was by sea routes.

In the past, many of the international aid agencies have had an unimpeded access to sea routes to ferry necessary humanitarian aid but now with those new revelations, it is more than obvious that they had been too busy in the past ferrying some other no so humanitarian items on their ships instead.

It is said that the past behaviour of someone is a good yard stick to forecast or predict his future behaviours and this argument is no difference to those bonhomie international aid agencies’ too.

I do not think that I need to reiterate, what would happened if the Sri Lankan government allows those insatiate aid agencies crying foul an unimpeded access again to those areas now, at a time the murderers are scarping the barrel and hoping for a miracle.

There are only few steps to take, which will surely have a rippling effect, if any international aid agency or other external entities is genuinely interested in seeing to an end to this conflict.

First, stop quoting unsubstantiated, unverifiable and biased information said to have been obtained from murderers, who have done white coats and robes now.

Force the governments and states providing such entities with financial and logistical support to expel those murders and their supporters who are comfortably languishing in those countries and are still carrying on with many illegal activities without impunity to support a ban terror outfit.

Support the democratically elected government of Sri Lanka in their endeavours to rehabilitate the internally displaced peoples due to this crisis.

But, if they only want to propagate their own believes and values and prolong the war so their economies can thrive, then support the murderers.    

However, with or without their help, this time the Sri Lankan government is determined to wipe the murderers out, once and for all from the island forever and they have the support and backing of all the masses who believe in ONE United SRI LANKA.
