I don't have any comments on the latest flag war on Twitter.
Okay. Maybe I do.

Twitter is not the place for a nuanced discussion on such a complexed thing.

Reducing the LTTE to merely as a terrorist organization isn't right. Unless you understand the reason for their formation, you won't understand the situation.
But, whitewashing their crimes isn't right either. Like how Tamils want acknowledgement & accountability for the crimes committed by the army, the other side also would expect the same.

(I know that Tamils are unlikely to do this unless the state acknowledges its issues.)
And, as long as the SLn state evades accountability, it won't be easy to convince Tamils that celebrating the LTTE is counterproductive.

The more they feel that they're denied accountability, the more they're going drift towards the LTTE or the dream of a separate country.
Maybe don't reduce this complicated issue into Twitter viral posts, instead, try to understand the other side and have a deep conversation?
