An Epic Account of Triumph Over Terrorism

The Sri Lankan civil war was one of the longest and most brutal conflicts in recent history. It lasted for over 25 years and claimed the lives of over 100,000 people. The war was fought between the government of Sri Lanka and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE),a Tamil separatist group that sought to create an independent Tamil state in the north and east of the country.

The war began in 1983 with a series of attacks by the LTTE on government targets. The government responded with a military offensive that quickly escalated into a full-scale war. The war was fought in a number of different locations, including the Jaffna Peninsula, the Vanni region, and the Eastern Province.

The LTTE was a formidable enemy. It had a well-trained and well-equipped army, and it was supported by a network of international supporters. The government of Sri Lanka was also determined to defeat the LTTE, and it poured billions of dollars into its military.

The war was a long and bloody stalemate. Neither side was able to gain a decisive advantage. In 2002, the two sides agreed to a ceasefire, but the ceasefire was broken in 2006. The war resumed and continued until 2009, when the LTTE was finally defeated.

The Sri Lankan civil war was a complex and tragic conflict. It is a reminder of the dangers of ethnic and religious conflict, and of the importance of finding peaceful solutions to political disputes.
