I'm glad LTTE is finally finished ,they wiped out many people, villages, masjids now they had paid. however Now Srilankan leadership must address root cause, start grass root development with education,equal rights for minority otherwise there would be many more prabakaran

With The defeat of the LTTE, the government can focus on rebuilding the war torn areas. Without the threat of LTTE, the budget being used for the military can be decreased and use the money to develop the economy, increase education, public works and health services budget to uplift the life of the Sri Lankans.

We are glad to hear the LTTE is wiped out. We hope peace will return to Sri Lanka because our children do not know what "peace" means in our island country. However, please give the minority community their fair share.

Until a solution is given for the minority in Sri Lanka, the problem would exist.

As a fellow Sri Lankan Tamil, I feel blaming the Government for the start of this conflict is senseless. Its not the current govt that started it, but certain communal minded politicians several decades ago. Attitudes and mindsets have since changed. The common sinhalese and tamil people do live in peace. I personally have more Sinhalese friends than Tamil. Its time to re-build our country and exploit the full potential of all our resources.

Indeed it is nice to hear there will be no terrorism in Sri Lanka. First one has to think, why the LTTE started. Therefore, we should see that henceforth, there will be no partiality in the community.

It would make no difference if Sri Lankan government doesn't come up with political solutions for Tamils' ethnic problems. Though it's claimed that Prabaharan is dead it's yet to be confirmed and government is yet to show the evidence. I hope my country will be a peaceful place to live in the near future.
