“…At that time, the LTTE had begun actively recruiting and training fighters. As there was a lot of respect for the LTTE among the Tamil people (Mayilvaganan, 2009), many Tamils were eager to join Prabhakaran and believed that the LTTE was the only way to create an independent Tamil state. The LTTE recruited primarily in the poor north and eastern portions of the country, not only because most of the inhabitants there were Tamil, but because of the high levels of poverty, disillusionment, and hatred toward the government in those areas.…”

This study aims to analyze the strong state of Sri Lanka that emerged after the civil war during the regime of Mahinda Rajapaksa. The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) was the leading Tamil militant social force, which was waging war against the government to form a separate state in the northern and eastern regions of Sri Lanka. The government ended both the separatist struggle of the LTTE and the civil war in May 2009 by winning a major military victory. This study is a qualitative analysis based on text analysis and field interviews, supplemented with limited observations. The study reveals that the state introduced enhanced security measures to avoid possible LTTE regrouping and re-commencement of violence in the country. The state also attempted to fragment minority parties to weaken the state reconstitution process through penetration and regulation of the social order.

“…The international community recognized a need for a broader consensus on fighting terrorism through initiatives such as the GWOT. The UN Security Council Resolution (N0.1373) on counter-terrorism adopted after the horrifying 9/11 incident (Mayilvaganan, 2009). The resolution calls for all states to prevent, suppress and eradicate all forms of terrorism and terrorist activities on their soil through various social and financial curbs.…”

“…The USA banned the LTTE under the legislation for Anti-terrorism (1997), the UK in 2001, and India in 1991. Other countries like Australia, EU, and Canada joined the league and banned any fundraising activities (Zissis, 2006;Washington Post, 2006;BBC 2006;Nadarajah & Sriskandarajah, 2005;Mayilvaganan, 2009). The number of peace observers decimated to just three EU members when the LTTE suspended by the countries like Denmark, Finland and Sweden on 1 st September 2006.…”

Sri Lanka came to the international limelight through the backdrop of its undesirable war against the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) that lasted over three decades. The LTTE was formed as a social force, and then it transformed as a leading armed movement to forward their decades-long quest to set up a Tamil homeland in Sri Lanka. The government ended the LTTE’s secessionist struggle in May 2009 after a lengthy and bloody battle. Several national and international factors played a crucial role in ending the civil war sooner. The study used a qualitative method of inquiry to explore the key factors that led to the fall of the LTTE, a vigorous armed movement that attempted to set up a separate state in the Island of Sri Lanka. The findings show that strong political leadership, fortified security forces, implementing sophisticated national security strategies, the split of the LTTE and the global war on terrorism are the major factors that had a significant impact and contributed in the LTTE being defeated in 2009.
