Bid farewell to us dear country
House facing the sea coast,
Palmayrah groves nest of birds,
Is it possible see once more again

It is interesting to recall that in Prabhakaran's Martyr's Day speech in November that year, commenting on the LTTE's failure to gain Jaffna, the LTTE leader admitted that the campaign of the LTTE had not even by then become a people's war.

The proof of it, as Prabhakaran said, it was the failure of the people of Jaffna to rise up against the Sri Lankan troops in Jaffna, as expected by the LTTE, which would have made a major difference in the entire separatist strategy of the LTTE.

We are now told to believe that Tamil civilians, who see the LTTE losing one location after another, unlike the situation in August 1999, are rushing in their thousands virtually into the arms of the LTTE as the Sri Lankan troops advance.

Such reports can only come from those who have no understanding of human reaction to fighting, apart from any particular reaction of Tamil civilians in such difficult and tragic circumstances.

The fact is that the Tamils are trapped in areas still held by the LTTE, which is a sad enough situation, far from the reports of their moving in thousands into Tiger held areas, unless they are being forced to do so, in the LTTE's strategy of the human shield, as some have indeed reported.
