7. Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka's development has been stalled by a civil war that has flared up sporadically since 1983. The separatist Tamil Tigers continue to agitate for an independent state in the island nation's north. With the rebels' northern headquarters overrun by government troops and their leader, Velupillai Prabhakaran, in hiding, some think the conflict is finally coming to an end. But iJet warns that the Tigers have resorted to guerrilla tactics and suicide attacks in the past and may do so again.

The deteriorating situation in Sri Lanka has led to widespread protests. But in London, the demands for action have been loudest as the warning of a final assault on Sri Lanka's Tamil Tiger fighters brings 2,500 Tamils to the streets of London demanding an end to the fighting. Al Jazeera's Mark Seddon reports.

The agony in Sri Lanka
April 25, 2009
ONE OF THE WORLD'S longest, bloodiest conflicts is coming to a gruesome conclusion on the island nation of Sri Lanka. The United Nations estimates that some 6,500 civilians have died and 14,000 have been injured in the government's merciless offensive against the Tamil Tigers in the northeast of the country. The Obama administration and other governments, particularly India and China, should pressure both the Sri Lankan government and the Tigers to halt the fighting and permit trapped civilians to escape.
......
The Tigers may be crushed in the next few days. But the anger and alienation of the Tamil minority in Sri Lanka is more acute than ever. The ultimate solution for Sri Lanka's communal conflict can only be political, not military. If the Tamil populace sees no hope for autonomy within Sri Lanka, it may come to demand a separate state - after all, the secessionist goal of the Tigers.

Sri Lankan civilians trapped in 'no fire zone' - 25 Apr 09
As the Sri Lankan government confronts the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), between 15,000 and 50,000 civilians are estimated to be trapped in the conflict zone - a four square kilometre pocket of land in the northeast.
Some civilians are now in about 40 overcrowded camps after fleeing LTTE-held areas. Thousands more have fled to the frontline coastal village of Puttumattalan, which until earlier this week, was in the so-called "no fire zone".
Al Jazeera's David Chater reports.

Sri Lanka fighting traps civilians in no-fire zone - 21 Apr 09
Thousands of civilians remain trapped in fighting between Sri Lanka's military and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). Many civilians fleeing a northern no-fire zone have sought refuge at a temporary field hospital.
But as Al Jazeera's Imran Khan reports, the makeshift facility lacks many of the things that might qualify it as a temporary field hospital, including blood reserves, antibiotics and essential medical items.

Civilians in danger amid Sri Lanka battle - 22 Apr 09
The UN has called for a truce to allow civilians to leave a strip of land where the Sri Lankan army is battling Tamil Tiger fighters.
The says it has killed 43 rebels in the last three days and that it has pushed deep into the last piece of Tamil Tiger-held territory. Civilians have told our correspondent that rebel fighters fired on them as they fled the conflict zone.

Sri Lankan civilians 'escape' rebel stronghold - 22 Apr 09
Sri Lanka's government has restricted access to the conflict zone where it is fighting the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), making it impossible to verify claims of casualties made by both sides.
But in an Al Jazeera exclusive, David Chater went on patrol with the Sri Lankan navy as it rescued civilians fleeing heavy fighting off the country's northeastern coast.
He reports on what has been described as a "humanitarian disaster" from the government's side of the battlefront.
