  • Children & Armed Conflict in Sri Lanka
    CHILDREN & ARMED CONFLICT IN SRI LANKA Displaced Tamil girl at Mannar Reception Centre, 1995 ©Howard Davies / Exile Images A discussion document prepared for UNICEF Regional Office South Asia Jason Hart Ph.D REFUGEE STUDIES CENTRE, OXFORD UNIVERSITY ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This report is based upon material collected in Sri Lanka and the United Kingdom. In the gathering, consideration and analysis of this material I have enjoyed the support and assistance of many people. I should here like to offer my thanks to them. Firstly, I am indebted to Reiko Nishijima at UNICEF-ROSA who has been responsible for the overall project of which this report is part. I should like to thank Reiko and her assistants, Damodar Adhikari and Tek Chhetri, for their warm support. At the Sri Lanka Country Office of UNICEF I was fortunate to be welcomed and greatly assisted by staff members throughout the organisation. My particular thanks go to the following people in the Colombo office: Jean-Luc Bories, Avril Vandersay, Maureen Bocks, U.L Jaufer, Irene Fraser, and the country representative, Colin Glennie. With the assistance of UNICEF’s drivers and logistics staff I was able to visit all five of the field offices where my work was facilitated most thoroughly by Monica Martin (Batticaloa), Gabriella Elroy (Trincomalee), I.A. Hameed, Bashir Thani & N. Sutharman (Vavuniya), Penny Brune (Mallavi), A. Sriskantharajan & Kalyani Ganeshmoorthy (Jaffna). My gratitude also goes to the numerous other individuals and organisations who helped during my seven week stay in Sri Lanka. Lack of space prevents me from mentioning all except a handful: Gunnar Andersen and Rajaram Subbian (Save the Children, Norway), Pauline Taylor-McKeown (SC UK), Alan Vernon and numerous colleagues (UNHCR), Markus Mayer, (IMCAP), Jenny Knox (Thiruptiya), Sunimal Fernando (INASIA), Jeevan Thiagarajah and Lakmali Dasanayake (CHA), various staff at ZOA, Ananda Galappatti (War-Trauma & Psychosocial Support Programme) Father Saveri (CPA) and Father Damien (Wholistic Health Centre).

Boylan 2013 iii ROAD TO REBELLION: THE DEVELOPMENT OF ETHNIC TERRORISM Brandon M. Boylan, Ph.D. University of Pittsburgh 2013 DISSERTATION ABSTRACT Why does widespread terrorism develop from some ethnic groups but not others? I define this type of violence - ethnic terrorism - as terrorism conducted in the name of an ethnic identity group. This dissertation examines the development of ethnic terrorism with a framework drawn from the motives, means, and opportunities (MMO) structure familiar from criminal law. I argue that the motive for ethnic terrorism is the violation of ethnic groups’ human security; the means is sponsorship primarily by the host ethnic group but also by foreign actors; and the opportunity is a vacuum in political space created by the departure of nationalist leadership, which allows terrorist elites to rise to dominate the ethno-political agenda.

    Sri Lankan Solidarity Movement 26th October, 2016 F.A.O.: The Editor, The National Geographic Dear Sir, The National Geographic Article About Sri Lanka ‘Can Sri Lanka Hold On To Its Fragile Peace?’ By Robert Draper Is Full Of Outrageous, Total And Utter Lies About Sri Lanka And Is Extremely Insulting To All Sinhala Buddhists And All The People Of Sri Lanka The National Geographic Article about Sri Lanka ‘Can Sri Lanka Hold On to Its Fragile Peace?’ by Robert Draper in its November, 2016 issue is full of outrageous, total and utter lies about Sri Lanka and is extremely insulting to all Sinhala Buddhists and all the people of Sri Lanka. We hope that the Western media stop persecuting the Sinhala Buddhists by spreading such lies about Sinhala Buddhists for the sake of sanity. The article says that in 2015 that the present Sri Lankan Government has admitted that since 1994, over 65,000 persons (the reader is made to think that all of these are LTTE terrorists) have disappeared as admitted by the present Sri Lankan Government. However this is a total and utter lie. Actually in 1994, the Sri Lankan Government at the time said that around 40,000 perished during the totally Sinhala Maoist leftist JVP insurgency or uprising of 1987-1989 which was a totally Sinhala Maoist leftist JVP insurgency which was located in the South of the island and had nothing whatsoever to do with the LTTE terrorist conflict in the North. Of the rest of the 25,000 (65,000 - 40,000), the previous Sri Lankan Government appointed Paranagama Commission received around 24,000 complaints.
