Publication

This publication addresses the military debacle suffered by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) early 2009. The author argues that this debacle should not come as a surprise because this is not the first time that the LTTE has been thrown out of its stronghold in Kilinochchi. The publication explains that the myth of the LTTE's military invincibility was consciously built up and nursed both by Tamil and Sinhalese vested interests as well as the media.
