"Nobody dares to speak against LTTE -Surrendered LTTE cadre

**Tamil language video **
"Tiger Leaders are using thousands of child soldiers for war. They recruit children directly from schools. Parents and teachers are helpless and nobody dares to speak against LTTE orders or their diktats. Wanni people are now fully disgusted with the LTTE and they do not trust them any longer," so says a 21 year old Tiger surrendee to the Army troops in Jaffna.

The surrendered Tiger cadre, identified as "Thileepan" in the organization was nineteen years of age when he was forcibly taken away by Tigers during a pilgrimage he has made to Madhu in the company of his mother and sisters in the year 2006. The surrendee who claimed that he was for peace and does not want to resort to violence, further told the Army in his confessions, the following;

"Senior LTTE men, operative from the rear of their defences are used to send new recruits to the front as canon fodder. Tigers are not capable of resisting attacks of the troops. LTTE members are now tired of fighting against well-trained government troops. They are now withdrawing. Their "Eelam Dream" is confined only to a dream. They will never achieve it."

"I was living with my parents, brother and three sisters. I was abducted by the LTTE in 2006 at the age of 19 years when I was going to Madhu Shrine for worship with my family. They gave me LTTE training for two months and then sent to the Welioya front. A large number of females are deployed in the LTTE defence lines. They have been forced to cut their hair short to avoid being identified. Those LTTE girls are desperately longing to go to Security Forces-held areas with their parents and lead a peaceful life under the troops."

"The best thing the LTTE can do for Tamil population now is to deliver their arms and select the peace path. I finally state that the Army looks after me well. LTTE will never succeed in this war. I request all our misguided members to surrender to any Security Forces camp, leaving the LTTE," he has told the troops.
