If Srilankan government thinks this can be solved. I doubt this. The simple reason is Tamileelam will always get the support from Tamils globally especially from Tamilnadu. This will keep the war going on. Sometimes with low intensity and sometimes high. This will be the case even in Prabhakaran's absence. Ultimately, self rule for Tamileelam people is the only way to resolve this issue. Whether it's a separate country or confederal model, Srilankans need to decide.
