Sri Lanka
26 Year Civil War
Shape of Sri Lanka
The shape of Sri Lanka is compacted, but also North and South elongated. This has an affect on Sri Lanka because Sri lanka is split north and south, with mostly plantations and plantation workers in the south of Sri Lanka, and Military and military workers in the North of Sri Lanka.
Boundaries of Conflict Regions
The southern boundary is made up of a nation of Tamil plantation workers. These workers make up 75% of foreign income yet their rights are restricted by the Sinhala who are colonizing in the Tamil's land. The northern region is the nation of Sinhala people, government, and police and military. The focus of military bases are in the north as well the government. These forces are attacking the Tamil and forcing them out into India.
Sri Lanka - Forces
Sri Lanka is a centripetal force, which means that their are forces that unify or have kept the country together. Some of these forces are the SLFP(Sri Lanka Freedom Party). The government also plays a role in forces because the police in one case, began to shoot worshipers in synagogue, and the government turned on the people. As the forces tried to unify the country, many began to flee. Many plantation workers went hungry and fled to india.
