LTTE terror

Since 1983 LTTE is fighting for a mono separate homeland for Tamils. It was India that trained and infiltrated an armed group called the LTTE some 30 years ago. This is the problem that is still going on.
I understand they are fighting for there rights. I understand that they are passionate about getting there freedom. Who could blame them for wanting freedom? I’m sure they would like to carry this out peacefully, but sometimes you can’t be heard that way. And the LTTE sure did get our attention. It makes a greater impact on people then having marches or something. But when you don’t have freedom in the first place that’s hard to do. It must have been frustrating, at first because this group did start out peacefully, but no one listened. Any who that still not an excuse! So now they’re murdering innocent civilians and some happen to be one of there own, states asiantribune. Many bombings and fires taking place, they steal medicines and food all because of LTTE. Although the Government has offered to provide a safe passage to the Tamils in the LTTE held areas but they are prevented from making use of this by the LTTE. Some say these people are freedom fighters, other say these people are terrorist. the truth is they are both terrorist and freedom fighters. The cause is fine but they way LTTE chooses to approach this issue is shameful. Most of the time you aren’t heard by a peaceful way of protest; but its possible. Ghani did it, so did Martin Luther King. I only wish it could be both ways, making a strong statement while not hurting anyone. If you have to hurt people for your cause, it only hurts the cause itself.
Peace to everyone!
