The hardships experienced by the citizens for 30 years as a result of terrorists are inestimable.
The number of lives lost could have been enormous if the dark era was not ended. The atrocities committed by these horrendous terrorists are being reminisced in today feature to appraise the public of their cruelty.
The tiger terrorists launched an attack in the Mantivu area on 20th February 1992, killing five war heroes. Again on 20th February in the year 2006, the ruthless tiger terrorists had brutally assaulted, chopped and killed an innocent civilian who was engaged in farming in the Eravur area. On the same day these barbaric terrorists mooted an attack targeting war heroes who were providing security to civilians in the Manthottam area, taking away the lives of two brave soldiers.
The next attack mooted by the terrorists on 20th February 2008 was at Kiri-ibbanwewa in Welioya. As a result of this artillery attack two gallant soldiers made supreme sacrifices on behalf of the country. More attacks were unleashed by the tiger terrorists in the Puthukudiyiruppu and Ambalawana-pokkanai areas on 20th February in the year 2009. Eleven war heroes made supreme sacrifices in these assaults.
The war heroes annihilated terrorism which was a bane to the country and that was fast spreading like a pestilence from the Nanthikadal Lagoon. The historic day on which the last shot of that insurgency was fired was on 18th May 2009. By then the terrorists had taken away a total of 35 lives on 20th February throughout the dark era. It included a civilian and the other 34 were war heroes. The valiant soldiers who advanced during the humanitarian operations due to the bold decision taken by President Rajapaksa as the Commander in Chief and the prudent guidance of Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaka succeeded in uprooting terrorism which was a scourge for the country, making supreme sacrifices. This historic achievement was made as a result of unlimited dedications. The entire country is reaping the genuine results of the freedom won.
But local as well as a foreign forces are active in various ways to destroy this freedom to seize the opportunity of meeting their parochial aims. Western countries including Britain and the United States which are raising various issues making inquiries on human rights reports due to hatred and not because of any other reason.
The Sri Lankan troops pulverized the most dangerous terrorist outfit which the world assumed to be indomitable and provided a new lesson to the international community. They liberated over 300 thousand Tamil civilians who suffered the tyranny of LTTE dominance, astonishing the whole world. This was a severe attack to many countries as they continuously assumed that the LTTE terrorists could not be subdued. Whatever actions were initiated by these forces, the patriotic citizens of this country would never permit them to achieve their parochial desires. They have over and over again proved this to the world,
