End of the LTTE:
The civil war officially ended in May 2009 when the Sri Lankan military defeated the LTTE. The death of Prabhakaran and the subsequent dismantling of the LTTE's military capabilities marked the end of their secessionist campaign. Since then, Sri Lanka has been focused on reconstruction and reconciliation efforts, although ethnic tensions remain a sensitive issue in the country.
Legacy:
The legacy of the LTTE is complex, as it is viewed differently by various groups. While some Tamils consider the LTTE as freedom fighters who fought for their rights and dignity, others condemn their methods and the devastation caused by the long-standing conflict. The international community has recognized the need for accountability and justice to ensure lasting peace in Sri Lanka.
Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE)

Founded in May 1976 by Velupillai Prabhakaran, the LTTE waged a violent secessionist campaign for over 25 years, culminating in a civil war with the Sri Lankan government.
