  Terrorism, the LTTE and the conflict in Sri Lanka
 
 
Titel: Terrorism, the LTTE and the conflict in Sri Lanka
Auteur: Aryasinha, Ravinatha
Verschenen in: Conflict security and development
Paginering: Jaargang 1 (2001) nr. 2 pagina's 25-50
Jaar: 2001-04
Inhoud: For decades, a number of developing countries have been adversely affected by terrorism, with little sympathy or support from Western governments, in particular. The attacks on the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in Washington, DC, on 11 September 2001, however, have made the world's sole superpower and its allies painfully aware of the devastation caused by such action. This article analyses how the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LITE), a terrorist group seeking to create a separate state in northeastern Sri Lanka, has been pushing the limits of international tolerance in this regard for almost two decades. While increased international action against terrorism is necessary to stem this destructive menace, the Sri Lankan state must also put forward a durable political solution to the ethnic problem. Ultimately, it would be a mistake for Western governments to allow their frustrations with the slow pace of reform in Sri Lanka to be interpreted as empathy with a terroristic cause.
