Yes, Sri Lanka achieved peace and  freedom in May 2009 amidst the great sacrifices of the Armed Force, Police,  Civil Defence Force, Military Intelligence and of course the people, all over  the country. A conflict that was raged by the LTTE supposedly for the betterment  of the Tamil people was anything but that. The moderate Tamil leadership of the  country was systematically removed. That is another story to  tell. Once a  conflict ends, is the threat eliminated completely? Does the country simply  return to normalcy without any post conflict challenges to address? Should  security be relaxed? These are the pertinent questions that need  answers... Challenges  Identified Post 2009 The  LTTE reorganising themselves and their networks  internationally - The  re-emergence of terrorism within Sri Lanka -  Extremist groups organising within Sri Lanka -  Impact of geographical and international developmentsLTTE  Structure (Prior to 2009)<img src="http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g113/netlife007/LTTE_Ch/LTTE/1_zps6uzy3rff.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Despite  the military defeat of the LTTE and elimination of its top leadership-Prabakaran  and Castro-the LTTE international network remains intact and is actively  pursuing the objectives of the LTTE. All other key individuals are still  functioning overseas. However, the only difference is that a single person is  not in-charge. The LTTE has a global presence and has exploited the  approximately one million Sri Lankan Tamil diaspora where two thirds live in UK  and Canada, creating a political environment and a funding base conducive for  the LTTE to strengthen their network. While prior to 2009, there was a  considerable number that supported the LTTE, a decline can be seen after 2009  where participation of the diaspora in events organised by pro-LTTE elements  have decreased to a few hundreds from 15,000-20,000. The  Extent of The Tamil Diaspora and LTTE Organisations <img src="http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g113/netlife007/LTTE_Ch/LTTE/2_zps5rhienan.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />[FONT=&quot]The  Manner in Which the LTTE Expanded Overseas<img src="http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g113/netlife007/LTTE_Ch/LTTE/3_zps4in9n5gg.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />[/FONT]With  the demise of Prabakaran there was an internal tussle for leadership and the  overseas network divided into four main groups. TGTE (Transnational Government  of Tamil Eelam) headed by V Rudrakumaran, he was challenged by Nediyawan who was  following the LTTE ideology in Norway and he formed the TCC. Vinayagam who was  fourth in rank in the LTTE intelligence unit formed the HQ Group. He escaped  from Sri Lanka during the final stages of the Humanitarian Operations and now  lives in France. Though Vinayagam initially worked with Nediyawan, he too split  from them and formed his own group. A fifth group emerged in Sri Lanka, about  one and a half years ago, and this was controlled by Thevihan who was killed by  the Security Forces in April 2014.<img src="http://tamil.oneindia.com/img/2014/04/11-deviyan-600.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />                       Thevihan</blockquote>
