A majority are still aware of how they were battered by terrorism for three decades. But some still hesitate to accept that this dark period has drawn to an end. However, the episodes of the dark era are being reminised to open the eyes of those who are endeavouring to forget the cruelty of terrorism.
The LTTE terrorists launched an attack on the war heroes on 27th November 1986 in the Omanthai area. As a result two brave soldiers in the incident. They unleashed another massive assault on 27th November 1991. Seven war heroes sacrificed their lives for the country in the attack which targeted a series of bunkers of the war heroes at Welipara in Mamaduwa.
It was again in 1995 on a day like today that the brutal terrorists exploded a bomb in Palaly and killed three gallant soldiers. Again on 27th November 1997, two more war heroes were killed in a confrontation with the tiger terrorists in Vavuniya. Again on a day like today in the year 2000, the terrorists targeted a mortar attack at Nagarkovil killing two war heroes.
November 27th has entered history books as a day throughout the dark era that many attacks had taken place. Five innocent civilians have been killed on 27th November throughout the fear psychosis period while the lives of 24 war heroes had also been taken away by the terrorist during this day.
If the brave soldiers did not succeeded in ending the conflict from the Nanthikadal Lagoon on 18th May 2009 by killing the murderous LTTE leader, under the bold leadership of the Commander in Chief President Rajapaksa and under the guidance of Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa, the country would have been subjugated by terrorism. With the eradication of terrorism, the country is enjoying full freedom for the last four years. Unity among communities has also been built. However, heavy attacks are being hurled by certain foreign forces at the country which is traversing on the path to become “Asia’s Wonder.”
World powers are seeking reports from the island nation on the humanitarian operation. However it is high time for them to make queries for themselves as why there are long delays in submitting inquiry reports on the carnage unleashed by them within their countries. The United States killed more than 500 innocent people in a cruel attack in the Noganri area in North Korea for three days from 26th to 29th July in the year 1950. But the US only thought of submitting a report on this assault 49 years after the attack that is in the year 1999.
The United States and Britain should make query with introspection their own eligibility to seek reports on the humanitarian operation mooted to save hundreds of thousands of lives in the country.
