Is this the reason Failure of LTTE



There have been numerous wars between the LTTE and the Srilankan army in the past, and the LTTE have always bounced back most of the times even if they had lost a couple of wars.

Why didn't this happen this time around. The LTTE army was much smaller in size compared to an ever increasing Sri lankan army. The LTTE also lost its 'Karuna' faction from the East long back. A dedicated team from the Sri lankan government unlike any previously was very focused on defeating the LTTE. LTTE has no international partners or backers, most importantly it did not have Indias support at all. LTTE ships were all destroyed prior to the war making it impossible to transfer or buy weapons. The LTTE was banned in a lot of countries and Delhi and Washington were keen on their defeat. During the Norwegian sponsored ceasefire agreement between the LTTE and goverment of Sri lanka, the LTTE failed to find peaceful solutions and give up arms.
