Struggle to save Sri Lanka ceasefire
European ceasefire monitors met top government officials today to map out how to save Sri Lanka’s truce from collapse as Tamil Tiger rebels warned of a possible return to war.
The monitors’ chief Hagrup Haukland opened talks with Jayantha Dhanapala, in charge of the peace process, after the rebels warned on Friday that they may have to use their own armed escorts for guerrilla representatives travelling through government-held areas.
