We have received reports that indicate Velupillai Prabhakaran, the LTTE supremo is still in Mulaitivu. 4 days ago his son Charles Anthony was spotted by now defected LTTE cadres. If Prabhakaran has the guts to face the Army he will not live to make another Heroes Day Speech.
The Mulaitivu battlefield was fairly calm today. The 55 Division and 58 Division linked up two days ago and have started consolidating the area north of Puthumathalang. The clearing operations were spearheaded by 2 Commando Regiment and the Mechanized Infantry of the 55 Division.
The 3rd phase of the rescue mission could begin within the next 48 hours as the objective is to destroy the LTTE by 1st of May and to secure some 50,000 civilians thought to be still trapped inside LTTE areas south of the A-35 in Vellamullaivaikkal. Fresh SF troops from SF 3 and 4 have been brought to a nearby location in case of need.
DefenceWire would like to take this opportunity to call on all Sri Lankans to organize at the village level, possibly around religious places of worship to collect garments for the rescued civilians. Food and other essentials are being provided by the government but there are still some shortfalls.
An act of kindness by the people in the south can go a long way in terms of repairing ethnic harmony in Sri Lanka. Soon after the Tsunami in the East, ordinary Sinhala villagers voluntarily collected and distributed their belongings to Tamil and Muslim villagers along the coastline. This was the first wave of relief that reached the people in distress.
