Prabhakaran has found fault with him. He has been removed after he reportedly came in for severe criticism. If it was a planned LTTE withdrawal, as some claim, he would not have sacked Sornam. Sornam has been unable to fulfil his mission. It was by no means a withdrawal.
Morale is extremely high.
Troops are brimming with confidence. We are far superior . Our firepower is superior. We have denied him larger areas. His capability to regain territory has gone.
