United Nations "negotiator" on Sri Lanka payroll
Today it was announced that the United Nations would send Vijay
Nambiar to Sri Lanka for the second time to try and negotiate on
behalf of the trapped Tamil civilians, just as the Sri Lanka army
launches a final assault against the LTTE:
It was announced at UN headquarters on Thursday that UN chief Ban
Ki-moon is rushing his chief of staff Vijay Nambiar back to Sri Lanka
to press for protection of the trapped civilians.
Allow us to bring some facts to light about this supposedly "unbiased"
negotiator, who appears to actually be on the payroll of the Sri
Lankan government, though indirectly - something that is obviously
known to the United Nations. Vijay Nambiar's brother (Satish Nambiar)
is a paid consultant for the Sri Lankan army, and has been since 2002.
What is the link between this Sri Lankan military consultant and the
United Nations? It is hard to determine, but despite the obvious link
through his brother, there is also a small resume of Satish Nambiar's
located on the UN website:
http://www.un.org/News/dh/hlpanel/satish-nambiar-bio.pdf
Very odd since he hasn't worked officially for the UN since 1993. We
should also note that after visiting Sri Lanka, Vijay Nambiar first
reported back to his brother in India, before reporting to the United
Nations in New York. Under such urgent and dire circumstances, why
would he spend days visiting his brother rather than returning to the
UN to report about this important matter.
Satish Nambiar has been quoted by the Sri Lankan defence website
several times, most recently glorifying the defence secretary for his
great accomplishments in routing the LTTE.
What does this mean? The UN sends an "impartial" negotiator to Sri
Lanka who's brother has been a paid consultant to the Sri Lankan army
since 2002. This same brother also happens to be the Director and
President of the "United Service Institution of India", which is
organizing an event in Delhi on 27th May 2009, titled "Present
Situation in Sri Lanka and the Way Ahead", where the speaker is "His
Excellency Mr. Romesh Jayasinghe, High Commissioner, High Commission
of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka". This
"negotiator's" brother happens to arrange speaking engagements for the
Sri Lankan government, while also being a paid consultant for the last
7 years.
Already there is a conflict of interest with the UN sending an Indian
who is affiliated with the congress party, accused by most Tamils as
being the real designer of this war in Sri Lanka. But on top of it,
his brother has been a paid consultant for the Sri Lankan army for 7
years, and is even now arranging speaking engagements for the Sri
Lankan government representatives in India.
After Vijay Nambiar made his first failed visit to Colombo to speak
with the Sri Lankan government, instead of returning to the United
Nations to report the outcome, he went to India to spend time with
this brother on "vacation", the same brother who is a paid consultant
for the Sri Lankan army! While thousands of Tamil civilians were
dying, he delayed reporting to the United Nations and instead
vacationed with his brother in India. When he finally arrived at the
United Nations he refused to speak to the press, even though it has
always been his custom to hold press conferences after such important
trips.
On 4/26 Vijay Nambiar's brother, Satish, submitted an article to
several newspapers, which was subsequently published in the Indian
Express and quoted on the Sri Lankan government's official military
website (http://www.defence.lk/new.asp?fname=20090427_04):
Writing in the Indian Express newspaper, Satish Nambiar said, Sri
Lankan Army Commander Lieutenant General Sarath Fonseka "has displayed
the qualities of a great military leader nations are blessed with from
time to time."
Writing on the Army Chief Nambiar further said, "Resurrected from the
grave as it were after the attack on him some years back, he has
displayed a single-mindedness of purpose in pursuing his goal of
decimating the LTTE. Needless to say, he has been able to achieve his
objective because of the full support and encouragement provided by
the political establishment led by President Rajapaksa.
"The demise of the LTTE is possibly," said Nambiar, " now only a
matter of days. The total demolition of the once universally feared
organisation that introduced suicide terrorism and the use of
improvised explosives (IEDs) as a form of insurgency warfare is a
tribute to the determination of the Sri Lankan Armed Forces under its
intrepid commander, Sarath Fonseka. General Fonseka has displayed the
qualities of a great military leader nations are blessed with from
time to time."
He further said, "As someone who was briefly involved with the peace
process in Sri Lanka in 2002-2003, I have already acknowledged the
outstanding performance of the SL security forces and the efforts of
General Fonseka, a person I met on a number of occasions during my
visits to Sri Lanka during 2002-2003 and developed great respect for,
both as an individual and as a soldier."
So what we have is the following:
1) Nambiar's brother has been a paid consultant for the Sri Lankan
army for the last 7 years.
2) Nambiar's brother has written propaganda articles for Indian
newspapers, which were subsequently quoted by the Sri Lankan military
on their official website.
3) Nambiar's family is connected to the congress party, which is
responsible for the present war in Sri Lanka.
4) Nambiar's family is deeply involved in the Indian military, which
holds a grudge against the LTTE for its war with the IPKF.
5) Nambiar's brother has arranged speaking engagements in Delhi for
the Sri Lankan government's high commissioner to promote the Sri
Lankan government's war against the LTTE
(http://www.usiofindia.org/EVENTS.HTM).
6) After visiting Sri Lanka on behalf of the UN, rather than report to
the UN in New York, he instead went on a vacation with his brother in
India, the same brother who is a paid consultant of the Sri Lankan
army.
7) The United Nations website contains a small resume of Nambiar's
brother on its website despite him not having officially worked for
the UN since 1993
(http://www.un.org/News/dh/hlpanel/satish-nambiar-bio.pdf). There is
obviously more to this than meets the eye.
8) The bias of Nambiar's brother was evident even in 2002, when he met
with Tamil paramilitary groups, but refused to meet with
democratically elected Tamil representatives while visiting Baticaloa
as a paid consultant of the Sri Lankan army.
Now that the reasons for the complete failure of Nambiar's original
trip to Sri Lanka on behalf of the United Nations is abundantly clear,
with over 10,000 innocent Tamil civilians killed, and 20,000 severely
injured as a result, what would we expect the United Nations to do at
this crucial time? They have now decided to send Vijay Nambiar back to
Sri Lanka again to "negotiate" on behalf of the civilians. Are you
certain he isn't negotiating on behalf of his brother and the Sri
Lankan government? In no other field, whether business, diplomacy or
anything, would they allow such a conflict of interest to exist,
especially with thousands of civilian lives at stake.
Please wake up and realize that the United Nations is not here to help
and protect the innocent. The only people the Tamil people can depend
on for help are the Tamils. You have tried convincing the
international community and the United Nations, and as a result there
are 30,000 Tamil civilian casualties in just 5 months. While the UN
sends people paid by the Sri Lankan government to "negotiate" on
behalf of the Tamil civilians, thousands of civilians are dying day by
day. When the LTTE was strong and the Sri Lankan army was on the brink
of collapse, the international community tricked the LTTE into the
ceasefire agreement. The ceasefire agreement was nothing but a cover
to arm and train the Sri Lankan army further, so that they could
launch a final war against the LTTE.
Today the UN and the international community does not want to even
speak with the LTTE, despite showing so much interest in bringing the
LTTE to negotiations in 2002 when the LTTE had the upper hand. This
shows that the United Nations only respects violence and military
might. When the LTTE was strong, they were requesting the LTTE to
negotiate, but when the LTTE is weakened, they no longer have interest
in negotiating a settlement to this conflict. Instead they repeatedly
call on the LTTE to lay down their arms and surrender to face a
certain death at the hands of the Sri Lankan army.
Learn this lesson well. The international community only respects you
based on your might and capability to commit violence. Some foolish
moderate Tamils have in the past criticized the LTTE for not trying to
pursue peace, but now the futility of that path has been clearly
exposed for all to see. The LTTE chose the path of peace in 2002, and
the international community took advantage of this to weaken and
destroy the LTTE through proxies. The end result is the entire world
stands silently as 10,000 Tamil civilians have been murdered - all
because the Tamil people did not possess the military might to protect
themselves. The only solution to this problem, the only way in which
the Tamil people can be protected, is if they increase their military
strength and bring Sri Lanka to its knees through violence. Only then
the international community will respect the rights of the Tamil
people.
