By word of mouth, many Southeren poor villagers know what happens/happened to their loved ones who joined the GOSL forces.

Many of them are MIA, still many families don't know what happened to their loved ones?

War is for political survival and multiple commissions.

There are no secrets in Sri Lanka.
