child recruitment began in 1987, when many children were specifically targetted in massacres by JRJ's thugs in the Northeast and also many children's parents were killed by the army. because of this, LTTE wanted children to be able defend themselves.


Nice fairy tale.

There was a time these pathetic UNPers (Ranil faction) ridiculed the government for not abrogating CFA having it being promised in their election manifesto. Now they are criticizing the government for doing the opposite. If this is not political opportunism, I wonder what that is?

'make sure they are mature first' ? They would be dead before they could mature. Children have to defend themselves against the SLA. Not only children women and the old as well.
SLA KILLS civilians without discrimination


i know SLA kills civilians in the most gruesome ways, have you heard of Sathurukondaan, Kokkadicholai killings and many others?. but it is wrong to put people in combat until they are 18. if they loose parents and want revenge against army, then they should just get trained until they reach the right age.

But,
Why didn't LTTE leaders prevent him and return the children ? As we know if anyone goes against leader's orders, they will be punished,....
So I assume Karuna had the blessing of the leader to carry out the 'bad thing'


Karuna was devolved a lot of power by VP to run the East. So Karuna was able to run the East without much interference from Northern leadership. Karuna basically made all decisions for the region and messed up. but VP should have taken action against him much earlier, which shows neglegence on his part

And you call the LTTR terrorist. It is the GoSL and the Sinhalese who are terrorist in the first place, LTTE is only reacting to the actions of the GoSL


calm down, i agree that GOSL is responsible for at least 90% of civilian killings in the civil war. especially the ethnic cleansing in Manal Aru, Sampoor, and so many other places, LTTE is the only organisation that can give dignity to these victims

This is the same thing that International Community says.

God Bless Sri Lanka.

Dewey,

You should have a insight about the CFA and what it did to us as Sri Lankans, do not use it with the JVP + Sihala Urumaya filter.

Why did Karuna fraction broke off. Why is there disunity in the LTTE. All because of CFA. They saw the benefits of peace and the world away from war. While traveling around the world they saw the benefits all our Sri Lankans in exile are enjoying while we Sri Lankans were suffering in the North, East and South.This made them look at other options.

So the breakaway of Karuna faction became a reality due to CFA and Ranil. VP and LTTE will be strong only in a war like situation not in peaceful climes. Hope SL forces will be able to capitalized what Ranil did to LTTE and corner them soon. Soon is the word I used, as if they do not complete this in 6 months, the international community will have time to pressure Sri Lanka and for certain MR will meekly give into international pressure after some time. It is very important that SL has a good FM very soon. Someone like GL would be ideal.

Dear pharoah,

As you may realize the Batti / Eastern Sri Lankan Tamils are not for ealam as they have clearly showed. That is why LTTE lost the east. Karuna and now Pillayan heading them. Why cannot VP punish Pillayan. If VP is so strong with all Sri Lankan Tamils he should be able to get the support of Pillayan forces.

More Sri Lankan tamils must be living in the east than in the North now as most Nothern Tamils have fled for a luxury life in US, UK, Canada, NZ and Aussy. Infact there must be more Sri Lankan Tamils outside North and East now, much more safely living in our neighborhood talking, working and living with rest of the Sri Lankans.
