But there is likely to be heavy resistance from the Tigers who would literally be fighting a battle for survival. "This is the end of the Tamil Tigers," Hulugalle tells TIME. "They held these civilians by force for so long, but they cannot do that any longer." Just two years ago, the Tigers held vast swaths of land in the country's north, but have now been limited to a 20 sq km (7.7 sq mi) coastal zone surrounded by the military...
