Sri Lanka & Tamil Tigers

The Tamil Tigers were cracked down hard by the Sri Lankan government. After several victories by the Sri Lankan army, the Tamil Tigers admitted defeat in May 2009. Even then, Tamil Tigers continue to exist in small areas of Sri Lanka and remain active.

Although the armed conflict has ceased, look at the following videos to look at the displacement and disruption the conflict has brought to the people of Sri Lanka.


On the other hand, look at how some in Tamil Tigers believe that they are freedom fighters, that they have no choice but to take up arms.


While you look through these videos, I want you to click through to Youtube and look at the provenance of the videos. Do you think they are reliable? Do you think they are useful for you to understand what happened in Sri Lanka?
