More than 3000 former LTTE cadres who once fought against the security forces have now joined the Civil Defence Force (CDF) after completing their rehabilitation process and most of them are stationed in the Mulaithivu and Kilinochchi districts where they are working at farms with an area of 200 acres run by the CDF to meet the daily food requirements of the armed forces.

Such a long time for something productive. Project must not be a substitute for the power of the cultivation and other political needs.

They still in the open jail? Still no freedom as what they wish to do in life! Tortures and under close monitoring everytime!

Why not give them an education. Nurture them into the service industry. Nurses , teachers , Accountants ! Tamils are renowned for their love for education and I'm sure once they are provided with a once lost opportunity , they will grab it with both hands!

Sri Lanka is the only place on earth where terrorists get a second chance.
