Description
EVERY WAR HAS A NAME. Some call this Asia's bloodiest civil conflict, while others refer to the twenty-plus-year battle as the "No Mercy War" But the most appropriate stamp might be "The Children's War" for both victim and combatant, because the civil war in Sri Lanka isn't being waged exclusively by adults, nor is it just a boys' club. Young girls are getting--or being dragged--into the act. Their willingness to do so depends upon whom you ask. Initially a nonviolent separatist movement, the Tamil armed resistance was launched in 1983 by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) against the Sinhalese majority government after years of failed negotiations. The fighting was only halted, briefly, by a 2002 ceasefire mediated by Norway. Renewed tensions, however, reveal a nation closer to a return to war than one reunited in the aftermath of the December 26, 2004, tsunami. Some thought surviving one of history's deadliest natural disasters would heal the torn nation (as it has in Indonesia). But in Sri Lanka's turbulent north and east, political unrest throughout 2005 gave way to escalating violence in 2006.
