Marking the 17th anniversary of triumphantly ending the three decade long separatist terrorism in the country, Hon. Ex President Mahinda Rajapaksa and Hon. Member of Parliament Namal Rajapaksa lit lamps today to commemorate our heroic war heroes who sacrificed their lives for this victory of the motherland. Sri Lanka today marks seventeen years since the end of the three-decade conflict that claimed the lives of thousands of soldiers and innocent civilians, bringing an end to one of the darkest chapters in the nation’s history. The victory, achieved through strong leadership, courageous military commanders, and the immense sacrifices made by brave members of the armed forces, restored peace to the motherland after decades of fear, uncertainty, and suffering.For an entire generation, daily life was overshadowed by violence and insecurity, as families across the country lived with constant anxiety and grief. The remembrance of those difficult years serves as a powerful reminder of the priceless value of the peace the nation enjoys today.The commemoration also highlights the belief that true statesmanship lies in an unwavering commitment to protecting the country’s sovereignty, territorial integrity, and national heritage.Leaders and citizens alike emphasized that this victory is not a celebration of war, but a solemn tribute to the sacrifices made in the pursuit of peace and the courage that allowed the nation to breathe freely once again.As Sri Lanka reflects on this historic milestone, the day stands as a moment of remembrance, gratitude, and renewed hope for lasting unity and peace for future generations.
