While I found the armed forces to be well trained, disciplined, and professional, it was also apparent that they have adopted the PLA Chinese army approach of expanding in the north to monopolize good farmland, the fisheries, and key areas of business and enterprise, leaving no room for Tamils to regain their land or rebuild their economic prospects as individuals, families, or communities.
Les forces armées me semblaient bien formées, disciplinées et professionnelles, mais elles ont adopté l'approche de l'Armée populaire de libération chinoise. Elles ont pris de l'expansion dans le Nord pour monopoliser les terres arables, les pêches et les secteurs clés du commerce et de l'entreprise.
