Srilankan general during the time of war Sarath Fonseka hailed china, without their support it wouldn't have possible to defeat the LTTE. Who is correct here, its the diplomat or the general?
India, China, Pakistan played a major role in defeating the LTTE. China and Pakistan supported with Arms, India ensured that the LTTE don't have a fall back territory like talibans have. LTTE has to either embrace death or sea, no other option left with them, otherwise it would have been even worser than the taliban story.
LTTE were sealed, tamil parties in Tamil nadu tried to break the lock, but the widow of the former PM who was executed by the LTTE wasn't ready to do it. Which was the major breakthrough to defeat the LTTE, otherwise the war would have ended just like the US fight against the talibans.
