There was a time when I thought there was hope for the Tamils in Ceylon. That was one government ago. I have been in the global effort to bring justice for the 100,000 Tamils killed by the SL Army since 2009 and am privy to a lot of information since then. The doors have been closed for justice, one after another. I have lost hope over the past year. I don't usually surrender but on this, white flag.
To see mass murderers and thieves being voted back to power, it just shows the mentality of the majority Sinhalese people there. Even the UN mandated war crime remedial work has been chucked aside by the rascal Rajapakse family. The Sinhalese are unbridled now in their rampage.
They can ignore Western condemnations because the villain CCP will come to their support. As it is, the CCP owns many major assets there. The rest of the world is not interested in Sri Lanka. Not even India where there is serious historical connection and parochial sentiments.
Now this is a workable proposal for the Tamils of the world:
1. I suggest, all the Tamil billionaires and millionaires pool some funds to buy an island from a friendly nation, say about the size of Bali. (https://www.privateislandsonline.com/search…). Let's call this island Eelam.
2. Work out a scheme with the vendor nation for a high degree of autonomy with a view to self determination eventually. Maybe with UN help, craft in the new country management. The billionaires who funded this Eelam, can benefit from the building of the new nation, and will likely double their investment. I am happy to draw up a financial model. Nothing is impossible.
3. Offer all the Tamils (and anyone who wants to leave the oppressive regimes in selected countries) a residency in Eelam. There will be another need for funding to repatriate the say, 2 million people who will want to take up the offer. Of course, 90% of these Tamils will have to "cut-loss" in disposing their properties when leaving Sri Lanka. There is a price for freedom and security.
4. Offer residency rights to qualified Tamils worldwide to come work, live and develop Eelam. I am pretty sure, many Tamils will take up this offer. Afterall, huge opportunities will exist in a captive market of 2 million people in an island. Imagine Singapore, Taiwan and HK some 70 years ago. In fact, invite the planners from these countries to come build a new country. Israel would be a good country to learn from.
5. When the right infra is in, elect the official government democratically. A government that is clean and capable, like Singapore's. Many Tamils in Canada, Sweden, Australia, Norway, all who ran from the wars in Sri Lanka in the past 30 years, will seriously consider the opportunity to return to their "home" called Eelam.
5. In about 20 to 30 years, Eelam will be another world beater. I have no doubt of that. Contrast this with banging the Tamils' head in Ceylon for another 20 years. I'm sorry to say, I do not believe Sri Lanka will allow Tamils to live in peace ever. That paradise is gone. Cut the loss now for future generations.
It is time for a new colony called Eelam.
Of course, I will volunteer in the building of the Eelam.
Think about this seriously.
