	Sri Lankan reaction to Bush victory: a declaration of dependence
		The Sri Lankan political establishment has sent a series of congratulatory messages to George W. Bush on his reelection as US president that go far beyond the routine diplomatic greetings dispensed on such occasions.
		The specific mention of “combatting terrorism” is, in the Sri Lankan context, a coded reference to Washington’s efforts in strongarming the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) to drop its demand for a separate Tamil state and to reach a negotiated solution to the country’s brutal 20-year civil war.
		Even though the reckless policies of the Bush administration appear to coincide with the immediate aims of the Sri Lankan bourgeoisie, there are nevertheless fears that the “war on terrorism” is a dangerous destabilising factor on the Indian subcontinent and internationally.

		Human Rights Watch reports that 800,000 Tamils – as much as a quarter of the Sri Lankan Tamil population – left the island because of the civil war, and the majority of the diaspora community resides in Canada, the United Kingdom, and India, which has its own Tamil population in the south.

	Sri Lankan War Comes Roaring Back - Council on Foreign Relations
		Escalating violence between the Sri Lankan government and the Tamil Tiger separatist group threatens to end the shaky 2002 cease-fire and spark another round in a brutal civil war that has caused 65,000 deaths.
		The terrorist organization, which is known for recruiting child soldiers and pioneering the use of suicide bombings as a terror tactic, has proven a resilient foe for the Sri Lankan military over the course of more than two decades, as this new Backgrounder explains.

		COLOMBO, Sri Lanka — Land mines and politics — man-made problems — are complicating relief efforts after the worst natural disaster in Sri Lanka's history: the tsunami Sunday that killed more than 17,000 Sri Lankans and left a million homeless.
		But in Sri Lanka, the massive relief effort is being slowed by the legacy of a long and brutal civil war between the Sri Lankan government and rebels from the Tamil minority group.
		The Tamils (18% of Sri Lanka's 19 million people) live in northeastern and central Sri Lanka and are distinct from the majority Sinhalese (74%), who inhabited the area centuries earlier.

	USATODAY.com - Landmine threat in Sri Lanka toned down (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		USA TODAY and other media sounded the alarm last week when the International Committee of the Red Cross and UNICEF warned that the huge waves that slammed the Sri Lankan coast Dec. 26 had jarred loose some of country’s estimated 1 million landmines, causing the deadly ordnance to move unpredictably, endangering civilians and relief workers.
		But inspections of heavily mined areas in northern Sri Lanka by agencies actually responsible for mine clearance revealed that few, if any, mines were dislodged, say experts with the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and the private Halo Trust.
		Landmines remain a serious problem in the country, where they were placed with wild abandon by both Sri Lankan government troops and their enemies, separatist rebels from the ethnic Tamil minority group.
