army was helping Tamil children doing GCSE by boats due to floods at the time.
International media would have hated that.🤬

Maybe i'm wrong but weren't the Sri Lankans bombing hospitals and UN camps during the last days of the war? Each of these acts were well documented by foreign and Sri Lankan nationals including UN humanitarian aid workers still present on the ground in Jaffna. While without a doubt LTTE was a vicious organization that was right fully eliminated by the Sri Lankans but this does not abhors the responsibility of the earlier Sri Lankan govt. policies that lead to the civil war in the first place. This unrest or civil war would not have taken in the first place had the Sinhalese people assimilated the Tamil people right after independence.
