Sri Lanka: 180,000 refugees return home
«For 19 years, northern Sri Lanka was closed to the world as a civil conflict developed, claiming 64,000 lives and displacing more than 800,000 people. Last year, both sides declared a ceasefire, and prospects for peace grew. In January, the government lifted its embargo against the north and in September the first round of formal peace talks was held in Bangkok.
Meanwhile, the displaced people began to return, voluntarily, to their former homes in the Vanni, the northern land controlled by the guerrilla army called the Tamil Tigers. By October, 180,000 people had gone back. Relief activities began in the Vanni for the first time in 19 years — giving food aid to farming families, orphans, traumatized children and war widows.
