Has Sri Lanka finally seen an end to the 20 year reign of terror which has blighted the tropical Island nestling in the Indian ocean off the south tip of India.
Often referred to as the pearl of the Indian ocean Sri Lanka has suffered for many years as a result of the LTTE fighting for an independent state in the far north of the island.
Following a successful visit to Jordan, Sri Lanka President Mahinda Rajapaksa arrived back in Sri Lanka early this morning 17th May as a leader of a nation that has vanquished terrorism completely.
Sources at the Katunayake International Airport confirmed that the President arrived in a special flight early this morning, cutting short his visit to Jordan to mark the liberation of the entire nation from the LTTE terrorism.
Most of the government ministers were at the airport to welcome the President, who was described as King Dutugemunu by the religious leaders.
Following the arrival religious leaders of all faiths held multi-religious ceremonies to bless the President and the security forces early this morning.
Hopefully this will be the start of a new era in the history of the country.
