i think that some people like to believe the LTTE propaganda so they can have a peace of mind in the world. those who want to do research should go to sri lanka for themselves. and its a well known and well documented fact that ltte killed their own tamil people
and extorted money from them.

it is reasonable to assume that a situation
that continued & devastated most people in lanka for 25+ years cannot be restructured within few months.
thought now these people do not have to fear recruitment, their children are safe,
though living conditions can become harmful due to environmental concerns such as floods, what i do not agree with is the misinformed idea that they are political prisoners and other guesses looking at one single picture. also these people looked like this-
thin, tired, hungry, and poor before coming into the camps because the harshlife they faced in the terrorist areas:
because some seem to think that these poor people
became thin & hopeless looking because of the camps--most tamils and even sinhalese even muslims in sri lanka look like this.

It's because of backing from money like this(at the link-a ltte tamil tiger related person-rajrath arrest wall street) that LTTE-tamil tiger terrorists were able to spread their false misinformation about what was happening for 25 or so years. they were able to buy off people and media, get weapons, recruit more child soldiers, grease politician palms.
(he is living well-fed, while many Lankans of all backgrounds starve/d)

poor sinhalese and tamils (and others)never got a break or chance to truly prosper. also the so called support money even sent to Northern lanka by those who may want to do good did not go to help them-the poor tamil people but to buy planes, weapons,train suicide bombers etc. And dirty money from those who had a bad purpose in the first place also went to kill & bomb innocent people!
And they say what goes around comes around.
its true.

Also, many community groups get an update from the Sri Lankan embassy, a person forwarded a recent one to me which is called a country information update where the PM spoke at the Asia Society.

Here is excerpt that was on it

Prime Minister Wickremanayake: Key to Rebuilding is Investment, Preventing LTTE Resurgence

Rebuilding Sri Lanka after 25 years of civil war will require preventing a resurgence of the LTTE, Prime Minister Ratnasiri Wickremanayake told the Asia Society in New York last week. He also responded to allegations of human rights abuses.
“ Sri Lanka suffered for almost three decades of destruction from terrorism by the LTTE,” said Wickremanayake. Despite victory, he said, “residual effects and related problems remain.”

Speaking at the Asia Society, the prime minister said resettling internally displaced persons (IDPs) is the country’s largest post-war challenge. However, he made clear that a full resettlement will take time.

“You cannot have a solution overnight,” he stressed. Wickremanayake said an estimated 280,000 still remain in internment camps as a result of the conflict.

“It is not an easy task to provide welfare to these people all at once... yet we accepted this challenge," he said. "Today, the [displaced] are being resettled systematically and efficiently.”

In an effort to expedite the recovery of the war-torn north and east, Wickremanayake called on the international community to boost investment in the island nation. “We need the support and cooperation from nations that can afford to,” he said. The prime minister stated that the government has already begun substantial reconstruction projects in the two regions.

Wickremanayake also called on nations to help Sri Lanka clear the large number of mines scattered throughout the country’s north. “Terrorists have planted landmines in playgrounds, holy sites, farm fields, and roads,” he said. “We are not ready to push our people onto these death traps.”

“Accept that we have a big problem,” the prime minister urged, “ and help us.”

In a question-and-answer session moderated by Asia Society Executive Vice President Jamie Metzl, Wickremanayake addressed allegations of human rights abuses by the military and criticism of the government’s treatment of displaced Tamils. The Sri Lankan government and the LTTE have both been criticized by the United Nations over alleged human rights abuses during the conflict. Wickramanayake bluntly denied allegations of human rights abuses, saying “no crimes were committed by the army.”
