South African backing Sri Lanka while Bishops’ Work for LTTE Terrorists

Posted by On March 06, 2014 0 Comment

South Africa strongly supported Sri Lanka’s post-war national reconciliation process at the on-going session of the Geneva-based United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC). Addressing the 47-member states of the council as well as other delegates, South African International Relations and Cooperation Minister, Nkoana-Mashabane said: “The Human Rights Council has been seized with the issue of Sri Lanka for a while. Let me share with you our approach to the Sri Lanka situation. It is important that we allow Sri Lankans to find each other, and out of this find solutions that are durable for their country. We as, as South Africans also had to find each other and consequently find our own solution to our own problem. This is our wish for the people of Sri Lanka. South Africa recently appointed a special envoy to explore ways and means of assisting Sri Lanka’s reconciliation efforts. The statement was made in the backdrop of some Diaspora groups calling South Africa to quit its initiative in Sri Lanka.

Meanwhile, a group of pro-LTTE Tamil terrorists Catholic Bishops, Arch-Bishops, Nuns, priests and Rev. sisters from the Northern and eastern provinces and from south Africa has urged the Geneva-based United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) to adopt a strong and action oriented resolution on Sri Lanka.

The move is led by the Sri Lankan Pro-LTTE Tamil terrorists Bishop of Mannarama,  Rayappu Joseph, who has been in the forefront of LTTE propaganda.

Sources reported that the group had made its move in spite of last month’s controversy over the Rayappu and Jaffna Bishop Thomas Saundranayagam statement that issued with the allegation that  Sri Lankan army used chemical weapons to wiped out the LTTE Tamil terrorists and  called for an international war crimes investigation during a meeting with US Ambassador-at-large at the State Department’s Office of Global Criminal Justice Stephen J. Rapp in the North and US Ambassador in Colombo Michele J. Sison.
