#Dheepan, un film postcolonial

Dheepan interroge un trope contemporain, celui du migrant issu d’un État déchiré par une guerre intestine – celle opposant de juillet 1983 à mai 2009 l’armée sri-lankaise aux militants séparatistes tamouls des Tigres de libération de l’Eelam Tamoul (#LTTE) – en le plaçant dans la perspective de la #banlieue parisienne, univers urbain où se déploie une autre problématique. Ainsi se trouvent décrits les trois moments de la migration du diasporique : le déplacement pour survivre, l’emplacement dans une #marge urbaine et enfin le replacement dans un territoire idyllique.

Defence Secretary in an an interview with The Australian newspaper said that the United States had given its fullest support to destroy the LTTE’s floating armouries in the deep sea between 2006 and 2008.

“One turning point in the war came when the Sri Lankan navy was able to sink these Tiger supply ships: “Between 2006 and 2008 we destroyed 12 of these floating armouries.” What made this possible?

“The Americans were very, very helpful. Most of the locations of these ships were given to us by the Americans,” Mr. Rajapaksa said.

India Cables
►http://www.thehindu.com/news/the-india-cables

En #Inde, le #cablegate révèle que de nombreux politiciens monnayent leur vote, se font élire en distribuant du cash, paient des journaux, etc. Que l’Inde a laissé le Sri Lanka écraser les LTTE. etc.

The Hindu, qui publie ces 5100 câbles, explique la nature de son accord avec #WikiLeaks :

The Hindu’s receipt, processing, and publication of the cables is a standalone arrangement with WikiLeaks, which, as in the case of the five newspapers, has no say in the content of stories we publish based on the cables.

We quickly assembled a team of experienced journalists – writers, including foreign correspondents, and editors – as well as digital information and data specialists for the India Cables publication project, to which we gave no particular name.
