The end to the pressure exerted on civilian life as a result of terrorist activities was marked with the annihilation of terrorism from the motherland. The country was plagued with terrorism for 30 years and it caused carnage and destruction to public property on a massive scale.
The atrocities committed by the terrorists are reminisced in this feature with substantial evidence.
The terrorists who were lurking at the Sitthandy Junction on 09th May 1991 unleashed an attack on innocent civilians. Four civilians died in this assault. On the same day skirmishes erupted between the soldiers, engaged in Wanni Wickrema One Operation in the Vavuniya and the tiger terrorists. Six war heroes made supreme sacrifices on behalf of the noble freedom of the motherland.
More clashes erupted between the war heroes and the terrorists at several places on 09th May 2008. 14 war heroes sacrificed their lives for the country in the fighting which broke out in areas such as Aalankulam, Manthottam and Palampiddi. Six more heroic soldiers also died in fighting which erupted in the Wanni on 09th May 2009.
Terrorism which plagued the country in this manner for 30 years was vanquished by the war heroes on 18th May 2009. By then these merciless terrorists had killed five innocent civilians and 38 war heroes on 09th May 2009 throughout the dark era. Accordingly the total number of lives taken away by the terrorists was 43.
The heroic soldiers enthroned real peace in the country due to the unwavering leadership of the Commander in Chief, President Rajapaksa and the prudent guidance of Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa. Many members of the Security Forces sacrificed their lives as well as eyes, heads, hands and limbs in their brave attempts to enthrone freedom in the motherland. They are really eternal heroes.
The Leader of the country who provided a fitting lesson to the world by annihilating terrorism from the country, is giving another lesson to the world by looking after the war heroes who have been rendered disabled in their operation to end terrorism. Certain local as well extraneous forces do not see the real heroism of these war heroes. But the entire nation eternally loves and takes care of them. It is the bravery and courage of the war heroes who made supreme sacrifices that are being recounted in these episodes.
