Iranamadu withdrawal

With the LTTE's tactical withdrawal from Paranthan, the strategic and tactical significance of Kilinochchi has been downgraded by the LTTE military panel. Thus, the LTTE has decided to vacate the Iranamadu junction and Iranamadu general area as well. SLA reports that they faced virtually little or no resistance when advancing into Iranamadu junction, the obvious reason is that the LTTE withdrew its cadres and assets from these areas a couple of days ago. The LTTE is expected to withdraw from Kilinochchi in the coming few days once the military assets and cadres are moved to a safer location.



The LTTE's cadre strength and armoury is at 95% capacity. The ammo dumps are well stocked with supplies that reached in from the eastern coast last week. The battle hardened and well trained cadres have hardly been used during the current operations, and the modern arti and mortar rounds have not been utilised yet. Thus, the LTTE is expected to launch devastating counter attacks in the coming few weeks. The true might of LTTE's military strength will come to light once the SLA attempts to advance along the A35 towards Mullaitivu.



Meanwhile, the Tamil diaspora around the world is reported to be disgruntled with the LTTE's tactical manoeuvres executed in the current theatre of operations. They are rumoured to be unhappy as the image of the LTTE as a fierce and feared military and political force is fading. The blog owner would like to clarify that the LTTE never has and never will play to the whims and fancies of the diaspora. The LTTE does not conduct operations according to the wishes of the diaspora. The LTTE will not defend non tactical and non strategic locations whilst sacrificing hundreds of cadres and wasting ammo to help maintain the ego of the diapora. All the LTTE asks of the diapora is continue funding our freedom struggle.
