SUBJECT:  Special Media Reaction:  Sri Lankan Media on Ambassador 
Lunstead's Final Press Conference. 
 
 
1. (U) Summary:  Coverage in the Sri Lankan media of Ambassador 
Lunstead's final press conference July 11 was widespread and 
positive.  All four English language papers provided coverage, two 
on the front page below the fold.  Three of four Tamil dailies and 
two of four Sinhalese broadsheets also covered the event. 
Television coverage was thorough with excerpts from the press 
conference appearing in English and both vernacular languages. The 
complete transcript is available at http://colombo.usembassy.gov/ 
End Summary. 
 
2. (U) The English dailies divided their focus, with the government 
controlled Daily News and the pro-opposition Morning Leader both 
reporting that the LTTE needed to give up terrorism while the 
conservative Island and liberal Daily Mirror took on unusual 
positions with the Island stressing a Sri Lankan solution instead of 
their usual flogging of the LTTE as terrorists and the Daily Mirror 
advocating an undivided Sri Lanka instead of a federal solution. 
 
3. (U) The following are the headlines and leads that appeared in 
government and independent papers the day after the press 
conference: 
 
-- LTTE should renounce terrorism - Lunstead -- Daily News 
(Government) July 12, 2006 
 
"...The LTTE must renounce terrorism and enter the political path if 
a solution is to be reached to Sri Lanka's ethnic problem" 
 
 
-- "The US does not support the division of Sri Lanka," - Jeffrey 
Lunstead -- Daily Mirror (Independent) July 12, 2006 
 
"The outgoing US Ambassador to Sri Lanka, Jeffrey Lunstead, 
yesterday reaffirmed his government's belief that a solution to the 
conflict in Sri Lanka should be within an undivided country." 
 
-- Solution should be home grown - Lunstead -- The Island 
(Independent) July 12, 2006 
 
"Outgoing US Ambassador to Sri Lanka, Jeffrey J. Lunstead, yesterday 
said the solution to Sri Lanka's conflict should be a home grown one 
and based on how power should be shared to ultimately benefit all 
communities." 
 
-- America would love to see LTTE off of the terrorist list -- 
Lakbima - (Independent) Sinhala July 12, 2006 
 
"Addressing his final press conference, US Ambassador Jeffrey 
Lunstead said LTTE terrorism has been witnessed over many years and 
that now the LTTE should take steps to renounce terrorism and enter 
the democratic political stream." 
 
-- Seeing Sri Lanka as a undivided country is US hope: Lunstead 
states bidding farewell-- Lankadeepa - (Independent) Sinhala July 
12, 2006 
 
"At the press conference organized to be addressed by the outgoing 
Ambassador, he said that it has always been America's wish to see 
Sri Lanka as an undivided state." 
 
 
4.  (U) Typically Virakesari and Thinakkural, two independent Tamil 
newspapers, led with the Ambassador's warning that security forces 
must respect human rights and hard line Sinhalese parties must be 
flexible to achieve peace on their front pages.  Excerpts of the two 
articles follow as well and the government Tamil paper follow: 
 
-- The stance of hardcore parties should change regarding the ethnic 
affair - Former U.S. Ambassador Jeffrey Lunstead -- Thinakkural 
(Independent) Tamil, July 12, 2006 
 
"Parties that have a hardcore approach should change that stance and 
the security forces should stop violations and start to respect 
human rights." 
 
-- Government forces should stop its violations and respect human 
rights - U.S. Ambassador Jeffrey Lunstead-- Virakesari(Independent) 
Tamil, July 12, 2006 
 
"U.S. Ambassador Jeffrey Lunstead said that the security forces 
 
COLOMBO 00001141  002 OF 002 
 
 
should stop all violations and respect human rights in all aspects 
of their duties. A military solution will not solve the ethnic 
problem. The President and the Defense Ministry should guarantee 
that the soldiers behave themselves with the public and respect 
human rights. 
 
-- Outsiders cannot decide the solution for the ethnic problem - 
Former U.S. Ambassador Lunstead -- Thinakaran (Government) Tamil, 
July 12, 2006 
 
"Outsiders cannot decide on a solution for Sri Lanka. This country 
should decide on a solution. The ethnic problem of two decades 
cannot be solved militarily. This was stated by former U.S. 
Ambassador Jeffrey Lunstead in his final press conference held 
yesterday." 
 
 
4. (U) English and vernacular newscasts showed excerpts of the press 
conference on evening newscasts and morning news magazines the 
following day.
