The Government has afforded yet another opportunity for Army deserters to rejoin the service, the Operational Headquarters announced yesterday. For this purpose a general amnesty period from 2006 April 25 to May 10 has been set aside. Those who report to their respective regiments during this period will not be punished for deserting and trainees who deserted could report back to their training centres during the amnesty period.
The Army headquarters request those deserters to report back to duty instead of living in fear and suspicion.

Yes you need them!!. They are providing intelligence to the LTTE from outside so lets make it easier by bringing them inside the army camps.
Why is GOSL bombing trinco ? They should bomb their own army HQ cos thats where the suicide bomber got the most amount of support. |

What do you need this amnesty for?
All what we need is a proper leadership, a political
will & right decitions made at the right time
to eradicate terrorism from the face of SL
if there is no other way to settle this problem
amicably.
There will be thousands, if not millions to fight
the Wanni butchers queuing-up to join Army like
you saw yesterday in Trinco.
There will be women queuing up to donate their
jewelleries, belongings to fund the GOV efforts
to put an end to terrorism in our land.
LTTE lost baberians, that day is not
too far if you push your luck so hard.

| The Jane's Defence Weekly had an article evaluating the strength of the LTTE and the SLA. It stated that accurate figures for the SLA was difficult as the rate of desertion was around 70%! This was before the CFA. I guess it will go back to that or has gone back to that...hence the amnesty:) |

Even with LTTE, the punishment use to be death. Its being waived on the face of mass desertions. They use children because, give them a few lollipops, feed a few lies and you have a dedicated worker. Even that does not seems to have worked judging by the turnout at Salli kovil in Thrikunamalaya.
As someone said, give proper leadership and people will not leave. |
