Answer:
Answer:
The conflict between the Sri Lankan
government and the Liberation Tigers
of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) has lasted
nearly three decades and is one of the
longest-running civil wars in Asia. More
commonly known as the Tamil Tigers,
the LTTE wants an independent state for
the island's Tamil minority. Following a
fierce, year-long military offensive, the Sri
Lankan government claimed in May 2009
that it had defeated the separatist group
(NYT) and killed its leader Vellupillai
Prabhakaran. But the group may continue
to launch guerilla-type attacks on the
country. For a lasting peace, experts
say the government will need to find a
political solution to the ethnic conflict
between the majority Sinhalese and
the minority Tamils that has plagued
the country since its independence.
The European Union and Canada have
joined the United States, India, and
Australia in labeling the LTTE a terrorist
organization, which has made it more
difficult for the group to get financing
from abroad. The civil war has killed
nearly seventy thousand, and watchdog
groups have accused both the LTTE and
the Sri Lankan military of human rights
violations, including abduction, extortion,
and the use of child soldiers.
