From recrimination to reconciliation: the path to peace in Sri Lanka
11 June 2013
Sri Lanka is at a crossroads. After the end of a long civil war, the country has an historic opportunity to draw on its strengths and riches to create a unified, prosperous and just society.
But it is also faced with complex problems, mostly arising from its recent history. In Australia, we only see the influx of Sri Lankan refugees. But this is merely a symptom, hinting at the larger problem of post-war reconciliation at home.
Sri Lanka is beginning to exorcise its ghosts, but Australia and the international community need to help it on its path to peace.
