LTTE being the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), Terrorist Group of Sri Lanka? And TN being Tamil Nadu? I always thought that the LTTE were operational in Northern Sri Lanka, so are they then hiding in Tamil Nadu?
I agree that it is very cowardly for any terrorists to hide among civilians. I think Hamas has been doing that with the Palestinians as well.
Definitely they are not hiding in Tamil nadu. Its just that people of tamil Nadu held protests against sri Lankan government for human right violations against Tamils in Sri lanka during Sri lanka's operation against LTTE.

| Thanks hunnyhiteshseth. Does that then mean that the LTTE are hiding among civilians in Northern Sri Lanka? |
Yes. This is what Sri Lankan government claims. However, LTTE claim that civilians don't want to move under Sri lankan government and hence are still sticking with LTTE

Well its a bit complicated. The LTTE claims to represent Tamils who were taken to Sri Lanka from India as slaves by Britishers. After Sri Lanka, formerly known as Ceylon, gained independence, the Sinhalese community which was in majority came to power and neglected Tamil community which led to formation of LTTE. So in a way, tamils in Sri Lanka are what blacks were in America duing its early days.

Let me clear this
The LTTE is a purely Sri Lankan org
and they had and possibly have emotional support in the state of Tamil Nadu In India
but after the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi by them they lost most of the support
the politicians in Tamil Nadu rake but this emotional issue to get votes
this time around I guess the trick did not work

The LTTE commander Prabhakaran and his son have been shot dead by the Lankan forces.
Now that the LTTE are gone will there be peace in SL

ony if Sri Lankan government does not repeat its previous mistakes ,and integrates Tamils into their society
The Government has been quite forceful in attacking the terrorists, so imagine that the Tamils must have been hurt pretty badly, can't imagine that they would be happy to make peace. They may give in for a little while, but eventually later will start up again?
Is LTTE a terrorist organisation?
It was formed for the liberation of tamils who were suffering under the Sinalese.
Many Tamilians still claim that LTTE did not hold any civilians but was protecting them from the army.
Whatever the politics the truth is that many hundred of thousands of innocent people have been killed in an etnic war.
In all ethnic wars the government always labels the other side as terrorist.
I ask myself again isor was LTTE a terrorist organisation?

Dear Atul
LTTE is or rather was a terrorist organization
they have indulged in mindless killing of moderate Tamils and they have killed innocents in SL over the years
A freedom fighting org without violence could have got the freedom long ago if they had not kept the gun always in their hands
They killed the Indian PM and that was the deadly mistake they made
had they not they would have been supported by the Indians and the Tamils
They themselves have accepted the mistake and had regereted for it
| Quote: |
| In an interview to a news channel, Anton Balasingham, the ideologue of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), described the May 21, 1991 killing of Gandhi by a Tiger woman suicide bomber as 'a monumental historical tragedy'.
"As far as that event is concerned ... I would say it is a great tragedy ... a monumental historical tragedy ... for which we deeply regret, and we call upon the government of India and people of India to be magnanimous to put the past behind ... and to approach the ethnic question in a different perspective." |
I watched a "Background" programme on CNN yesterday, where a news team tried to get access to the conflict area and have to wonder how real it really is. As access was completely controlled by the Government and the news team was hindered as well as restricted, and in spite of numerous requests could not speak to any of the people in the conflict area. The UN was there on a visit as well and all of it looked like masquerading to me. Also to the CNN team. For example, the people in the villages were behind wired barricades, and there were soldiers posted everywhere. They also appeared hostile to CNN.
Peace
