The Pakistan army succeeded in eliminating the menace of terrorism from KP and killed hundreds of terrorists, however some managed to escape to Afghanistan.

The youth who joined or were forcibly conscripted to the LTTE were indoctrinated that the Tamil language and culture were threatened by the Sinhala Buddhist majoritarianism. Alarmed at been a target as well as demoralized by the contracting economy and loss of opportunities, many proprietors and entrepreneurs left the country. He asks for this breathing space to keep hotels operational in 2023 as it is critical to continue to cater to the inflow of tourists that is just picking up. This is just one instance of the economic disasters we have faced because of these anti-Government acts. The first half of 2022 was broiled in anti-Government protests with the agenda to push the country into anarchy. Even though arrivals had grown from its dismal numbers in 2021 by 207 percent, this is still 69 percent lower in comparison to the record achievement of 2.3 million in 2018.
