The Sri lankan Government has rehabilitated and integrated into society nearly 12,186 former lTTE members, including 594 child soldiers.
The liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (lTTE) had run a military campaign for a separate Tamil homeland in the northern and eastern provinces of the island nation for nearly 30 years before its collapse in 2009 after the Sri lankan Army killed its supreme leader Velupillai Prabhakaran.
