Finding an escape route for Prabhakaran

“The parallelisms between Hitler and Prabhakaran cannot be
underestimated. Both were fixated on racial hatred. Both believed in
their own power to change the world. Both had grand ambitions of
leading their peoples into a political destiny imagined by them. Both
have committed abominable crimes against their own people as well the
“others”. Both were committed to militarism at any cost. Both were
creatures of fascism. Both were possessed with a messianic mission.
Both were authoritarian personalities that brooked no opposition. Both
ran police states.”


(September 05. Melbourne, Sri Lanka Guardian) The speed of the Sri
Lankan forces advancing deep into the heart of Vanni – the last
stronghold of the Tamil Tigers – is forcing the Tiger hierarchy to
find alternative safe havens for its leader, Velupillai Prabhakaran.
Increasing speculation in the Tamil disapora suggests that he will be
whisked away to the jungles of Burma or to the rebel-held territories
in Philippines as no recognized state is prepared to grant him refuge.
He is wanted as a convicted criminal in India for killing Rajiv Gandhi
and in Sri Lanka for the deaths of the civilians in bombing of the
Central Bank.

After the fall of Mullawi the Security Forces claim that Killinochchi,
the capital of the one-man regime, has come within its firing range.
The map of the advancing forces clearly indicates that they are
closing in from all sides. Tigers now have little room to maneuver.
The joint operations of the Security Forces have virtually sealed the
Western sea and land routes.
