To date (Monday) the Falkland Islands government has received no formal request for the exhumation and identification of the Argentine combatants buried at the Darwin Cemetery, was the reply from Gilbert House in Stanley to reports to that effect in The Independent, and in the Argentine media.

Will this too, become a contrived political 'incident'?
Nov 25th, 2014 - 05:35 am - Link - Report abuse 0Let the dead test in peace, and leave the islanders in peace.
If they insist on digging them up as a government backed initiative - take them all with you - no reason to visit the islands again, and no more political stunts.
Yet another despicable attempt by the Argentine authorities to use their war dead for political gain.
Nov 25th, 2014 - 06:44 am - Link - Report abuse 0If they were truly serious about this then they would've contacted the Falkland Islands Government to get permission to exhume the bodies right from the start. The fact that these 'people' (and I use the word advisedly) are continuing with these so called 'preparations' as if they could just walk in and dig up these bodies is truly arrogant, disrespectful and as I said before, despicable.
So as Troy says, leave these poor boys in peace, and leave the Islanders in peace.
In other words...get lost Argentina.
Oh, and Argentina if you ever do get permission to exhume the bodies, you'd better be ready to take them back to Argentina, because once out of sacred Falklands soil, they won't be going back in.
Next thing you'll hear from the RG Gov, is a complaint the the United Kingdom (not the FIG) is not allowing the repatriation.
Nov 25th, 2014 - 06:59 am - Link - Report abuse 0I agree with the above posts in that this is a truly despicable motive/agenda from the RG Gov.
127 of 237. Perhaps it is time to send them home.
Nov 25th, 2014 - 07:55 am - Link - Report abuse 0They will have done half the job just digging them up.
Probably it's the early stages of another plan to wind up the gullible. The Argentine government will ask the UK for permission to dig, the UK government will reply don't ask us, ask the FIG, Argentina will refuse to speak to the FIG and claim that the UK is playing politics with the grief of the loved ones. Pass the sick bag, Alice.
Nov 25th, 2014 - 08:03 am - Link - Report abuse 0Correct me if I am wrong but would it not have been better to ask permission first and get a positive reply and then carry out DNA testing because it would save one years abortive work if a negative responce. A bit like the chicken and egg conundrum.

Nov 25th, 2014 - 09:41 am - Link - Report abuse 0and are the people and Govt they have to communicate with and talk to.
Argentina should acknowledge you exist as people, but not as a sovereign government, because you AREN'T. Should you become independent, then certainly they should address you directly, but as long as that is not the case, you do not have the right to talk directly to the government of Buenos Aires anymore that Bavaria, Catalonia, Lombardy, California, or Caterlandia have the right to talk to Buenos Aires.
Nov 25th, 2014 - 09:46 am - Link - Report abuse 0Well while you refuse to ask the Falklands elected government then as usual all this will come to nothing. And yet again will probably become some sick political weapon for Argentina to try to use.

Troll 10. Guess you went to the same Fantasy School as Kristina and Timmerman. Think you will find that any Govt in the world that needs any form of info or contact with the Islands actually has to contact direct the Falkland Islands Govt - and the respective Dept of.

European Union does.
So if the Argentine Govt wants to find out about the possibilities of anything like this topic then that is what they need to do.
UK Govt Foreign Office has told them that plenty of times! UK Govt has no direct control over internal affairs of the Islands - get it?

@ 15 So glad to see that you are NOT British.
@10 Well unless they ask FIG then nothing will happen. Also, they must be planning to bring a fair amount of equipment, like machinery to assist in excavation, and where do they plan to store the remains during testing, surely they would need assistance from us (Falklands Islanders) to achieve this.

Nov 25th, 2014 - 02:54 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Do you think so, Brian? I guess the will perform a more precise, archeological task, so I think they may exclude the use of machinery.
@18 The graves will at least be 6ft under, a lot of archeological gigs use small excavators to remove at least the top soil, if not more, i just assumed it would make it easier, but I'm no expert. But I doubt this will go ahead anyway, they can't just turn up without permission and start digging. I think it would be better to leave them bodies alone and leave them in peace.

23- don't worry, as far as the majority of us Islanders are concerned the Arg relatives and families have just as much need to visit the graves and get their closure as do the British families - all we ask is that they do it in a dignified and respectfull way and don't go waving flags about the place. The families resect that mostly - sadly the majority of visiting Arg veterans do not, and thus spoil it for all.
Nov 25th, 2014 - 05:01 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Unfortunately all we tend to hear from the Malvinas Veterans is anti Falkland’s propaganda.

Nov 25th, 2014 - 06:46 pm - Link - Report abuse 0http://www.clarin.com/politica/Malvinas-identificacion-soldados_0_1255074496.html
“At the same time, Fondebrider said he would have already informed the national government that once they reach Darwin, can in up to eight weeks to deploy a team of about 20 people, open the tomb, taking the remains, graves and close back to Argentina for analysis. Fondebrider clarified taking samples are small and that among them would require teeth. He said that none of this will mean moving bodies Malvinas to Argentina as many believe. ****We used that excuse to scare the family****. From the technical point of view, Argentina did homework. It met all protocols. This is a forensic humanitarian operation. It is a right of the family to know where your loved one. It is urgent because relatives are aging as in the case of Argentine disappeared, he told this newspaper in a telephone conversation from Lebanon, where the EAAF also works.”
“The identification of the bodies of Darwin, a demand made in 2012 veterans and Solidarity Network to the Ministry of Justice and then was moved to Cristina Kirchner by the English rocker Roger Waters, is delayed by the long tension between the governments of Nestor and Cristina Kirchner and the UK for the Falklands conflict. The Government asked the International Red Cross collaboration with this identification was done because that oversaw the burials in Darwin after getting the remains on the battlefield. The agency said it would act when there was consent of relatives. Its members travel here often.”
The comments from the argie scum are, as you can imagine, full of references to “pirates”, “kelpers” and Argentine land” meaning the Falkland Islands.
Just another scam with a bit of flim-flam by the argies in using their own investigative team as if they were recognised world-wide for technical excellence and thoroughness in technique in this area.
Pathetic people just causing their own citizens further heartbreak.

Really quite callous - the exact opposite to the image of patriotism and compassion they are trying to sell, for the sake of political opportunity.
The Veterans are just used as pawns!
Perhaps the FALKLAND Government should write to the Argentine Government and say You are cordially invited to come to the FALKLANDS and repatriate your fallen soldiers so that the families of the fallen can get closure I think that would be a good solution for all concerned. The Argentine families do not have to travel to the FALKLANDS and the FALKLANDERS do not have to put up with the whining of the Argies.
Nov 25th, 2014 - 07:51 pm - Link - Report abuse 0and they are now fully ready to exhume the bodies, take the samples back to Argentina for examination ,
Nov 25th, 2014 - 08:01 pm - Link - Report abuse 0its just my opinion , but all these lies and contempt that the argentine government seems to have for the dead,
and this may well drag on and on and on,
perhaps it would be better for the Falkland's government to either have the bodies removed and buried at sea, or sent home to Argentina,
or just ignore them..
The family of each identified body should be given the option of having the body repatriated.
Nov 25th, 2014 - 08:44 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The cemetary was a cynical attempt by the Argentine government of the day to creating a continuing symbol of sovereignty on the Islands. And it has been shamelessly exploited by CFK.
The more bodies sent home (the Islands not being Argentine can never be home) the less of an impact this blight on the landscape creates.
With all the oil money about to be made by FIG, they should set up a fund so that any relative can apply for exhumation and shipment of then pay to a neutral third country like Chile where a final cash payment will be given for them to organise the final leg onto Argentine territory.
Comsidering how poor most Argentineans are becoming, a lump sum 'grieving allowance' could be paid as a bribe to kickstart the programme.
It would be a human rights issue of the Argentine government attempted to block the process. Though I imagine La Campora would employ some not so subtle fascist pressure on the families.
I wonder how long before Crass-tina attempts to politicise this humanitarian work?

If the government of the island do not want the EAAF Argentine scientists, working in Darwin, enable the international Red Cross or any British university experts to take samples to be studied in Buenos Aires or in some neutral place.
Nov 26th, 2014 - 02:11 am - Link - Report abuse 0The Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team (EAAF) http://www.eaaf.org/eaaf/, is a Non-governmental, not-for-profit, scientific organization That Applies forensic sciences - mainly forensic anthropology and archeology - to the investigation of human rights violations in Argentina and worldwide. Was established in 1984 during the administration of Dr. Ricardo Alfonsin to Investigate the cases of at Least 9,000 people Disappeared in Argentina under the military government from 1976 to 1983 That ruled. Today, the team works in Latin America, Africa, Asia and Europe on five integrated programs:
http://www.eaaf.org/eaaf/,
EAAF currently working on mejico, brought by the Mexican government itself to study the disappearance of the 43 Mexican students missing.
A paradigmatic case in this matter is the united states and vietnam. Where united states army in the Vietnamese territory itself has recovered and identified many remains of soldiers.
Argentines believe in the good will of cooperation with the Islanders, eg july 2012 the glass casing Protecting a figure of Argentina's patron saint, the Virgin of Luján, at the head of the cemetery was smashed With what Appeared to be an axe . Argentina presented this issue to the British government and Informed the United Nations and the International Red Cross. Sebastian Socodo, responsible for the cemetery's upkeep, Said Were Notified families and That it was not clear When It Occurred or Who the perpetrators were. Police in the Falklands held an investigation and the case was repaired.

The only difference is that you perceive yourself as superior and thus allowed to do as you please over other's wishes.
@49 Argentinians are more than welcome to visit the Falklands, as long as they have accommodation for the duration of there stay. But they can't just waltz on in and start digging up a war grave, after all its on privately owned land. They need permission to do so. To be honest i'm not against Argentina digging up the graves if they wish to, it would better to leave them in peace, but it's not up to me, it's up to families of the dead interred there.

The exact identical rules exist in the Falklands.
The Falkland Island Government will control the borders and grant access to whomever they see fit. Many Argentines are granted access annually.
Would you grant access to representatives of a nation that shows no remorse for an invasion in living memory, who has left unmapped minefields near your home and used you and your family as human shields?

I have just discussed this with the mother of a soldier who died in the Falkland Islands in 1982, her son is one of the Argentine soldier known only to God and she has visited Darwin 4 times in the last 32 years. She told me that she has adopted one of the unknown soldiers as her own son, and has no wish for DNA testing to say which one really is her son as she considers the one she chose as her son. She also says that she wishes her son to stay buried where he is as that is where he died and that she loves to go to visit his grave because the islands and the cemetery are beautiful and that she has made several friends among the islanders and enjoys her time there.
Nov 27th, 2014 - 01:31 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Her opinion of this whole situation is that there is no point in the DNA testing, that if the Argentine government of the day had identified the dead this would not be a problem and that the political use of the dead is horrific. This is a lady of quite humble birth and of peronist roots who has been turned away from her family's political outlook by the disgust at the government's callous use of her son's death.

Not really, the Islanders are simply trying to drag Argentina into reality which means if they want to carry out work at Darwin-they have to ask the permission of the elected government. It does not say that permission would be denied.
The Argentines cannot elect the Islands government because they don't live there-like most places in the world.
