Abstract

The fight for a separate Tamil state in the north and east of Sri Lanka has continued throughout the last decade, affecting all sectors of society. In Batticaloa district, since 1990, thousands—civilians well as armed forces—have been killed or injured, hundreds detained and probably over a thousand have disappeared. Many young men have joined one or other of the armed forces. Everyone has been affected. Children have grown up knowing only war.
