Liberation of Tamil Tigers Eelam (LTTE) chief V Prabhakaran could be dead, with the Srilankan forces telling the CNN-IBN that his body has been recovered and being taken to an army camp in Colombo. The report comes as the Srilankan government announced it had captured the final stronghold of LTTE, and that top LTTE leaders could have committed mass suicide. The Srilankan army claims to have intercepted LTTE messages of mass suicide of rebel leaders.

Our Perspective:
Anyone who knows the history of Srilanka also knows about the government created rifts between the majority Sinhalese and the minor Tamils. Unless the Lankan government changes its attitude and treats both of the factions equally, it is difficult not to predict revolutions of some kind in the near future. You can kill people, but you can't supress their voices.
It is good to learn from past experiences, but the most important thing is not to repeat those mistakes again. Hopefully, peace will prevail in the Lankan Island for the good this beautiful country.
