Syrian Opposition Threatens to Walk Out Ahead of Talks

A set of preconditions demanded by Assad’s opponents risks unraveling negotiations in Geneva before they begin.


Syrian Opposition Threatens to Walk Out Ahead of Talks BY COLUM LYNCHJOHN HUDSON-JANUARY 26, 2016
Syria’s main opposition coalition informed U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon late Tuesday that it will not participate in peace talks until the Syrian government and its allies halt attacks against civilians, lift the sieges, and provide humanitarian access to distressed civilians, a U.N.-based diplomat told Foreign Policy.

The letter by lead opposition coordinator Riad Hijab drew a line in the sand for peace efforts as Staffan de Mistura, the U.N. special envoy for Syria, made a final push for negotiations to begin in Geneva on Friday. Still, U.N. officials said they remain hopeful Hijab’s Riyadh-based High Negotiations Committee could be persuaded to attend the talks.

Hijab, the HNC’s coordinator, told Ban his group looked “positively” on participating in political talks toward a transition of power and the reform of Syria’s military and national security institutions. He also expressed a willingness to continue working with de Mistura as the envoy tries to midwife new peace talks. The letter, which was written in Arabic, was translated to FP by a diplomat.

But Hijab said the U.N. Security Council must first enact “without exception” key parts of a December 2015 resolution that calls for an immediate cessation of violence, the release of detainees, and a halt to the indiscriminate bombardment of civilians.

The move comes several hours after de Mistura invited the Syrian government, the HNC, and a Russian-favored group of about 10 Syrian opposition figures to participate in the long-awaited talks in Switzerland. The decision to invite the Moscow-promoted group of Syrians was expected to rile Hijab and others who have led the nearly five-year rebellion to push Syrian President Bashar al-Assad from power.

The invitations, revealed to FP by U.N.-based diplomats, include Haytham Manna — an opposition figure with close ties to Kurdish groups that are rejected by the Turkish government — and Qadri Jamil, leader of the Syrian People’s Will Party, who enjoys strong business and political ties to Moscow. In a concession to Hijab and his U.S.- and Saudi-backed coalition, Manna, Jamil, and several others favored by Russia will not be part of the formal negotiating team in Geneva and will simply serve in an advisory capacity to the United Nations while at the talks.

The HNC says it will reject any Russian efforts to define the Syrian political movement against Assad — especially in ways that could spark internal disagreement or diminish the group’s negotiating position.
“It’s going to be very difficult to get these people on the same negotiating page,” said Andrew Bowen, a senior fellow at the Center for the National Interest. “These people are credible, but they are more open to the Russian position than the opposition figures in the Saudi group.”

The big-tent approach seeks to improve on previously failed negotiations that had excluded key groups with a stake in the nearly five-year Syrian civil war.

Greece hits back after EU's Schengen threat

 in Brussels and in Athens-Wednesday 27 January 2016

Greece has hit back angrily after being given three months to avoid being suspended from Europe’s free-travel Schengen area because of its alleged failures to get a grip on the continent’s mass migration crisis.

The European commission said on Wednesday that Athens was failing to observe its obligations under the rules governing Europe’s 26-country passport-free travel area, known as Schengen.

“Greece is under pressure,” said Valdis Dombrovskis, a commission vice-president. “Greece seriously neglected its obligations … There are serious deficiencies in the carrying out of external border control that must be overcome.”            
Greece has been the main gateway to Europe via Turkey for more than a million people over the past year, the majority of them from the Middle East. The influx shows little sign of letting up, with more than 35,000 having made the short but hazardous crossing from Turkey to the Greek islands this month alone.

The Germans, as well as several other EU countries taking in large numbers of migrants, have long been furious with the Greeks for allegedly simply waving the new arrivals through without registration and ID checks and setting them on the Balkan route towards Austria and Germany.

But Athens responded robustly to the criticism, instead blaming Turkey’s failure to honour the deal it struck with the EU in November. Describing the threat to isolate Greece as unconstructive on Wednesday, it claimed the draft evaluation report had been conducted at a time when the situation on the ground was different to the one prevailing two and a half months later.

“Greece has surpassed itself in order to keep its obligations,” said government spokeswoman Olga Gerovasili, insisting that it was not Greece’s fault that Turkey had failed to clamp down on smugglers’ rings and stem the flow of refugees. “We expect everyone else to do the same.”
Arrests at TalkTalk subcontractor over personal data breaches

Channel 4 NewsGeoff White on Technology-Wednesday 27 Jan 2016

“Fill out the form and hit submit.” It’s the kind of request that accompanies so many of our website visits.

But when you hit the button, who exactly gets hold of your personal details and what can they do with them?

In the past fortnight, Indian police have arrested three employees of a sub-contractor of TalkTalk, who are accused of stealing customers’ data and using it to con them out of thousands.
LONDON, ENGLAND - OCTOBER 23: Signage is pictured on the exterior of the headquarters for the Talk Talk telecommunications company are pictured on October 23, 2015 in London, England. Talk Talk announced today that it has received a ransom demand after its website was attacked and customers details stolen by hackers claiming to be a cyber-jihadi group. (Photo by Carl Court/Getty Images)
If proven, the allegations shed new light on TalkTalk’s poor record on taking care of its customers’ details, whether directly or indirectly. It also highlights just how global the data trade has become, and the risks involved.

Even before October’s hacking incident, TalkTalk users had complained of receiving spam calls, in some cases leading to losses of thousands of pounds; bank accounts were cleared, precious savings spirited away.

We helped one victim track down the men who scammed her, and discovered they were based in Kolkata, the city where Indian IT services giant Wipro handled its contract with TalkTalk.

Wipro’s name came up in the course of my investigation into her case, and now it seems Indian police are extending their inquiry into the firm.

Why did TalkTalk end up sending customers’ details to India? The main reason is that, by its own admission, the telecoms company was getting hammered with complaints, and didn’t have the deep pockets of its rivals to deal with them.

For us consumers, there’s a dilemma: globalised tech brings us cheap deals and convenience. But only if we relinquish control of what’s increasingly our most valuable asset: our personal information.

TalkTalk said in a statement: “Following the October 2015 cyber attack, we have been conducting a forensic review to ensure that all aspects of our security are as robust as possible, including that of our suppliers.

“As part of the review, we have been working with Wipro, one of our suppliers, and the local Police in Kolkata.  Acting on information supplied by TalkTalk, the local Police have arrested three individuals who have breached our policies and the terms of our contract with Wipro.

“The same site handles calls on behalf of a number of multi-nationals and our security teams will be sharing the details with them to ensure they can check their own operations. We are also reviewing our relationship with Wipro.

“We are determined to identify and deal effectively with these issues and we will continue to devote significant resource to keeping our customers’ data safe.  Data theft and scams are a growing issue affecting all businesses and they are notoriously difficult to investigate and prosecute.  We are pleased that our investigations have yielded results, and will continue to do everything we can to tackle these crimes.”

Wipro said: “Wipro is committed to maintaining the integrity and confidentiality of all customer data and has a zero tolerance policy on security breaches. We would like to reassure our customers that the Company continuously evaluates and strengthens its internal processes to protect itself and its customers from any data breach.

“Working with our customer, Wipro reported potential illegal activity to the relevant law enforcement authority in India, as soon as it came to the company’s attention. Wipro is working closely with the customer in the investigation and will continue to extend its full co-operation to the investigating authorities.  We are unable to comment on the matter that is currently under investigation.”

How the US Supreme Court Could Legalize Direct Bribery

by David Swanson
( January 26, 2016 , Boston, Sri Lanka Guardian) A recent bribery conviction may lead to the U.S. Supreme Court further corrupting the U.S. political system.
How does one even get convicted of bribery in a system that has legalized it to the extent that ours has? Look at Congress members’ and other federal office holders’ actions and their sources of funding. There is debate only over whether they are bribed to act or rewarded for having acted, but the correlation between action and funding is undisputed, and the sources of funding unrestricted. A headline like “Clinton Foundation Donors Got Weapons Deals From Hillary Clinton’s State Department” raises a few eyebrows but no indictments.
The correlation is even more strongly documented between funding and gaining access to Congress members, and the general trend so clear that an academic study has identified the U.S. form of government as an oligarchy. Many political observers now think of elections as a corrupting influence, which no doubt fuels a taste for pseudo-solutions like term limits and billionaire politicians who don’t have to sell out.

And yet, two U.S. state governors have recently been convicted of taking bribes: Alabama’s Don Siegelman and Virginia’s Bob McDonnell. Siegelman has been in prison for over four years though he was targeted by politically motivated prosecutors and was never accused of any personal gain. McDonnell was bribed with a Rolex watch, plane tickets, dinners, trips, loans, catering, golf bags, and iPhones, and, according to his successful prosecutors took official actions in his capacity as governor to benefit the person bribing him within minutes of receiving various loot. The U.S. Supreme Court has kept McDonnell and his wife (also convicted) out of prison as it considers his case. A bipartisan collection of 113 current and former state Attorneys General urged the Supreme Court to correct the injustice to Siegelman, and it declined to consider it.

Singapore remains least corrupt country in Asia; NKorea most corrupt

THE results are in – Singapore is still the least corrupt country in Asia, while North Korea remains the most corrupt, according to anti-corruption watchdog Transparency International’s Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) for 2015.

As its name implies, the CPI measures the perception of corruption in a country, rather than actual corruption – the latter being impossible to quantify. The annual ranking has been used as a yardstick to grade a country’s efforts (or lack thereof) in fighting corruption.

Ranked globally at no. 8, Singapore is Asia’s most graft-free country, despite slipping one place from no. 7 which it held in the previous report. The hermit kingdom of North Korea is unsurprisingly Asia’s most corrupt nation at 167th place – a distinction it held last year as well.

Malaysia slipped to 54th place from 50th previously, while Indonesia lurched upwards to 88th from 107th. Thailand improved its standing to 76th (which it shares with India) from 85th. The Philippines, however, fell 10 places to 95th.                    See more    


Afghanistan fails to improve human rights - watchdog

Afghanistan has failed to remedy a series of chronic human rights abuses ranging from the torture of prisoners by security forces to brutal mistreatment of women, Human Rights Watch said in a report on Wednesday.

The rights watchdog's 2016 annual report said reform efforts by President Ashraf Ghani's national unity government had been undermined by failure to contain internal differences and keep local strongmen and power brokers in check.

"Afghanistan's national unity government squandered important opportunities to tackle serious human rights problems," Patricia Gossman, senior Afghanistan researcher at Human Rights Watch, said in a statement.

"As reforms have slipped, so have essential human rights protections for detainees, women, and the media."

HRW said international donors, whose support is essential to the government of one of the world's poorest economies, had to work more closely with Afghan authorities to ensure that human rights gains made since 2001 were not lost.

The section on Afghanistan, part of a 659-page report reviewing human rights practices in more than 90 countries, painted a bleak picture more than 14 years after U.S.-led forces drove the Taliban from power.

The brutal murder of 27 year-old Farkhunda Malikzada after she was falsely accused of burning a copy of the Koran and the flawed trial which followed threw into stark relief the failure to advance women's rights, despite repeated government pledges, the report said.

Hundreds of civilians were also killed in suicide and roadside bomb attacks last year. Islamist insurgents targeted judges, prosecutors and other government officials as well as journalists and Afghan and foreign aid workers.

In addition, Taliban groups and others including Islamic State carried out kidnappings and "indiscriminate" attacks against civilians, the report said.

Despite an action plan to eliminate torture by government forces and militias, documented cases of torture increased in 2015 but there were no reported investigations or prosecutions, it said.

"Atrocities by the Taliban and other insurgents are no excuse for the government to deploy abusive militias or fail to hold the security forces accountable for violations," Gossman said.

The report also pointed to the incident in the northern city of Kunduz in which a U.S. warplane attacked a hospital run by aid group Medecins Sans Frontieres, killing at least 42 people.

An investigation found "human, procedural and technical" errors were to blame but many questions about the incident remained unanswered, Human Rights Watch said.

American scientists studying the Zika virus have warned that it could be a decade before a vaccine is publicly available.

The virus is linked to shrunken brains in unborn children, leading to severe brain damage or death.
It has spread to more than 20 countries, and has caused panic in Brazil where thousands of people have been infected.
There is currently no vaccine or cure, and diagnostic testing is difficult.
The search for a vaccine is being led by scientists at the University of Texas Medical Branch.
They have visited Brazil to carry out research and collect samples, and are now analysing them in a suite of high-security laboratories in Galveston.
But they warn that although a vaccine could be ready for testing in two years, it may be another decade for it to be approved by regulators.

Six year old Tamil boy raped and murdered in Sampur
26 January 2016
The body of a 6 year old Tamil boy who was raped and murdered, was found dumped in an abandoned well in Sampur on Tuesday.
The boy, identified as Tharshan Kugathasan, was reported missing by his parents on Monday evening.

Relatives who went searching for him subsequently discovered in an abandoned well in Sampur, with his body tied to a stone using military shoelaces.

There was also evidence of sexual abuse, reports TamilNet. The well is located near a Sri Lankan navy camp in the area, it added.

The agony of Sri Lanka’s carapace of peace

Tuesday 26 Jan 2016
Six years after the Sri Lankan civil war - @jonsnowc4 visits the site of some of its worst horrors.
Channel 4 NewsOur return to Sri Lanka’s killing fields has managed to coincide with two major developments – the first is the President’s announcement that there will be no “international component” in any “investigation” of the civil war, or the alleged war crimes committed therein, which seem to be evidenced by the multiple videos sent to this programme in the wake of the war’s aftermath.
The second is that the Prime Minister chose a Hindu Festival in Jaffna last week to state bluntly that if people are missing – and there are still so many thousands of them – then they are dead.

Both statements have caused consternation in the Tamil community and re-opened the old mistrusts.
The change of Government and the arrival of a coalition with a five year remit ordained by the largely Sinhalese Parliament, has firstly seen off the Rajapaksas, even if the President during the end of the civil war does now himself sit as an MP. Secondly it has relaxed the atmosphere in the Tamil North noticeably – people in the streets, shops abundant with produce, and an air of ease.

But in addition the failure, seven years after the war’s end, to establish any formal or credible investigation into the multiple human rights abuses, and allegations of war crimes, first reported by Channel 4 News, during the war rankles hard with the Tamils. They are also angered by the continued failure to do anything at all about “the disappeared.” This continues to cause widespread grief and upset. We have seen too many tears this week.

The army is everywhere, having seized tens of thousands of acres of land. They have also infiltrated the shops, taking over many businesses. The country’s second most important fishing harbour Myliddy, is in the hands of the military. Worse still are the forty houses standing in the fishing village, after the war, that have now been deliberately bulldozed. The inhabitants languish in camps in Jaffna unable to fish. 
The camp is revolting. Each toilet is used by ten to fifteen families. In central Jaffna alone, at least some 1,700 people are still here in the very camps David Cameron visited two years ago. None of the demands he made then have been acted upon, including the ‘necessity’ for an international element in any war crimes investigation.

The scene at the killing fields, where some were used as human shields by the Tamil Tigers but an even greater number were massacred by the military, having been told it was a safe zone, is unutterably distressing. Nothing has been done to clear the shell craters that still contain rotting saris, shirts, pants and more. Worse, the beach is strewn with single shoes, particularly little children’s shoes.

Tonight on Channel 4 News we shall be telling a story of a degree of return to normality. But defeat of the Tigers has not been marked by action on any of this issues which the Chief Minister in the North warns if unresolved will lead to renewed violence.

Nothing so describes the arrogance of power in the South as the vast and brutal war memorials celebrating the defeat of the Tamil Tigers… boasting of the army’s heroism and patriotism in defeating what they call the “Terrorists”.

Unresolved human rights abuses are matched by continued military occupation – some 120,000 soldiers across the country, a force bigger than the entire British army, in a country with a population of some 20 million people.

A few suggestions for the proposed new constitution

The powers and responsibilities of each level of administration shall be determined on the basis of the need to hand over certain powers and responsibilities to the next higher level on a ‘needs’ basis; that is, these are not so much to be devolved to the periphery starting from the centre but to be centralised from the periphery to the centre.

by Prof. H. Sriyananda

( January 26, 2016, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) Most thoughts for a new constitution are constrained by the form(s) of existing or past ones, either in Sri Lanka or elsewhere. However, it may be useful to look at them not so much as models, but as providing lessons to be avoided.

1. Representative democracy has failed in most situations, even in the fairly well established ‘democracies’; one glaring example of which being Britain’s intervention in Iraq despite the opposition of the vast majority of its people to such intervention. Ensuring that electorates are kept very small (of the order of a100), allows for the recall of the representative in case the representative ceases to reflect the wishes of the electors.

The assemblies so elected should also be small (not more than 100 members) to ensure meaningful interaction among them. This may be implemented by visualising a threetier structure as follows:
Basic unit a ‘ward’ of about 100 electors.

Level 1 administration ( Local government) consisting of about 100 ward representatives), electing one among them to represent it at the next level.

Level 2 administration (Provincial administration) consisting of about 100 representatives elected by each of the Local government units. Thus, each of these would ultimately represent about 1M electors.

Level 3 administration (National administration) to consist of about 30 members, two (one male, one female) elected by each Provincial administration. These thirty members would represent about 15 M electors (as the eligible population now stands) The Level 3 assembly should have, in addition to the thirty members elected as above (on a territorial basis), another thirty members elected on a national basis to represent group interests; one each representing peasant (agricultural) farmers, industrial workers, estate workers, fishers, workers in service industries, University students, academics, school teachers, medical practitioners, engineers and architects, scientists, small industrialists, medium scale industrialists, large industrialists, other entrepreneurs (such as traders, bankers etc.).

The Level 3 assembly (the National assembly) will thus have about 60 members, a minimum of fifteen (and a maximum of 45) of whom being female.

2. The National assembly will elect the President and the Speaker, the President being from outside; and divide itself into not more than 12 subcommittees representing the major areas of governance: Defence and Foreign affairs, Finance, Health, Education, Food and agriculture, Justice, General administration and law enforcement, Industries etc. Each subcommittee shall elect a chairperson. The committee of such Chairpersons shall form the Cabinet, which will elect the Prime Minister from among themselves.

3. Even though the wards and Local administrative districts will be geographically determined (by a delimitation commission), the Local administrations (Level 1) will be able to negotiate among themselves as to how to affiliate to form the Provincial administrations (Level 2)

4. The powers and responsibilities of each level of administration shall be determined on the basis of the need to hand over certain powers and responsibilities to the next higher level on a ‘needs’ basis; that is, these are not so much to be devolved to the periphery starting from the centre but to be centralised from the periphery to the centre.

5. As there will exist the power of recall at all levels, the term of office of all bodies can be fixed at (say four years, similar to that of the President of the USA), and all elections rescheduled to the month of December, every four years. The ward elections may be scheduled to be completed during the first week of December, and elections to each succeeding level at one week intervals so that the new National Government can takeover at the beginning of January. This will minimise the cost and disruption caused by unscheduled elections.

This is only a very brief outline of what is possible, to form a basis for discussion among the public. The two main criteria are the Right of Recall, and small and manageable institution.

Arrogant Sirisena Insults Judiciary


Colombo Telegraph
January 26, 2016
President Maithripala Sirisena’s extreme arrogance in denying charges that state officers under his command have been dragging their feet on the investigations into the killings of Lasantha Wickrematunge and Prageeth Ekneligoda makes him liable immediately to a charge of contempt of court, Colombo Telegraph learns.
MaithripalaResponding to a question posed by Azzam Ameen in an interview for the BBC interview on January 24th 2016 to the effect that the court had observed the lack of collaboration by the Army Commander, the President vehemently denied the charge, saying that ‘ whoever may make such allegations, the court or whoever it may be, that is wrong.’
The statement tantamounts to a comment made during the course of an ongoing inquiry and is sub-judice. The legal rule of sub-judice prohibits the making of any statement in relation to an ongoing case which may prejudice the final outcome.
The President’s tone in making those comments were offensive and arrogant also may amount to scandalising the court which is a separate charge of contempt. “If the first citizen of the land talks in such a manner regarding the authority of court, what hope does yahapalanaya and the Rule of Law have?” an observer asked.
Is stark contrast to the lackadaisical attitude of the investigators and court regarding the murders, an arrest warrant was issued against Galagoda Atte Gnanasara yesterday, on charges of contempt of court. He has been charged with commenting, threatening, and insulting witnesses of the ongoing inquiry into the murder of Prageeth Ekneligoda.                                                                     Read More 

Danger lurks ! President to sacrifice FCID in order to fortify SLFP – Maithri’s conspiracy while P.M. has gone abroad.


LEN logo(Lanka-e-News -26.Jan.2016, 8.30PM) The FCID (Financial crimes investigation division) that was established to reinforce the police force following the victory of the rainbow revolution  last year, which was in fact  the outcome of the monumental efforts and the sacrifices made by  the people for government of good governance, is to be closed down consequent upon a conspiracy hatched by president Maithripala while prime minister Ranil Wickremesinghe is out of the country, based on reports reaching Lanka e news, which Lanka e news reveals this news taking full responsibility 
This move of the president is driven  by his objective  to rescue Basil Rajapakse against whom there are heinous charges , and against whom already action has been filed by the FCID. By dismantling the FCID , the aim is to rescue  Basil , and thereby  halt the formation of another party that will split the SLFP , as well as  to reinforce his own  powers within the SLFP
It is Basil who had been totally opposed to a reconciliation when efforts were made to unite with the Rajapakse’s group of the SLFP. Hence in order to pacify and placate Basil , it is the hope  of Maithripala to disband the FCID , and establish unity with the Rajapakse’s ‘Alibaba’  group of ‘rogues on behalf of rogues’
While P.M. was in Switzerland to attend the world economic forum which  is full of promise and potential for  the country’s progress and the new government’s vibrant  economic policies ,the president has sent a letter secretly without the knowledge of any minister , to the Attorney General’s department inquiring whether the FCID is a valid legal entity. The worst part of these conspiratorial moves is , while an AG has still not been appointed officially , and after the former AG  Yuvanjana had gone on retirement , the president has made this inquiry from Suhada Gamlath , the acting AG who is a notorious lickspittle and lackey of the Rajapakses  , with a view to secure an answer that could favor president’s   secretive obnoxious and villainous  moves. The entire country knows Gamlath is a shameless stooge of Rajapakses    created out of the spinal bone  of Basil Rajapakse.
The present conspiracy is designed to dismantle FCID when Gamlath decides that the FCID is illegal ,. But if there is a public outcry against that action  , in order to quell such  protests , the crime investigation division at Wellawatte police is to be ‘decorated and glorified’ to take the place of the present FCID, and give it a new ‘birth’
It is a Maithripala Sirisena’s Polonnaruwa village mongoose style plot. In other words , in order to resurrect the moribund people rejected corrupt SLFP, what Maithripala is going to do is sacrifice the FCID that was created to fulfil nation’s hopes and aspirations  of a   clean and good governance, after putting all the racketerers and fraudsters behind bars.
Following the  overthrow of the Medamulana Mahinda Rajapakse regime that was opposed to Maithripala Sirisena ,the FCID was established to trap all the wheeler dealers , fraudsters and racketeers who flourished under the previous regime. However  when the FCID was preparing to investigate the outrageous robbery of David Paynter’s paintings by Kili Maharaja , the scenario changed  and turned antagonistic against   the FCID .
Maithripala Sirisena who intervened to save the culprit Kili Maharaja then , scolded DIG Ravi Waidyalankara in charge of the FCID  in foul language .From  that point of time , every priority  was given and  every effort was made  to dismiss Waidyalankara  from the FCID, and now , it is being conspired to completely close down the FCID. 
At this juncture ,the majority of the people who are pro government of good governance must be awake and alert , and be ready all the time to take the appropriate measures at the right time to combat  effectively such dastardly moves . The time is also opportune for the Polonnaruwa village buffoons to clearly understand ,the masses for good governance did not appoint Maithripala Sirisena  or the government to extricate  the brutal  Rajapakses from their  corrupt , criminal , crooked and perfidious involvements  and incriminations.
