Editorial gloss

Most detailed contemporaneous-retrospective journalistic chronology of the 3 March – 11 April 2004 Karuna split. Anchors the precise dates (3 Mar press conference at the Theenagam secretariat in Karadiyanaaru; 25 Mar LTTE ultimatum; 9 Apr LTTE multi-pronged military operation at ~01:30; 11 Apr collapse). Records Karuna's stated grievance: 'the LTTE hierarchy had discriminated against the eastern wing despite the sacrifices and contribution made by the Batticaloa-Amparai sections… as many as 4,543 Eastern Tigers had lost their lives.' Records that Karuna 'sent home about 500 of the new and young women recruits' at the split.
