After the May 2009, when was LTTE defeated people started to celebrate the end of such long war that caused many deaths. Tamils agreed on federal solution (rather than own country). The war caused also big wave of migration, and these people have been resettling in following years.

The only two country that involved themselves in the Civil War was India and USA. They also received help from the EU, Canada, and Austrailia, but these countries did not contribute as much to the war. India did this because they were getting huge numbers of refugees and wanted to stop the conflict. The USA did not help much with the violence but they were working with the Sri Lanka government to come to a peace treaty with LTTE. I think that more countries should have gotten involved with the war because over 200k people died. If other countries got involved then there would have been fewer casualties overall throughout the war.

The Sri Lanka civil war has already been resolved when the LTTE surrendered to the Sri Lanka government in May 2009. They tried making many peace treaties involving both of the sides. The India Peacekeeping military sector was in Sri Lanka trying to resolve the fight, but they later evacuated in the late 1900's.

In total, an estimated 200,000 people have died from the civil war. This has put a huge downfall on the economy of Sri Lanka. The Sri Lanka government has been charged with many accounts of violating human rights and human abuse.

From July 1983, all the way to May 2009(26 years) the small island nation of Sri Lanka has been in a civil war. The two sides in the war are Libertarian Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), the other side in the war is the Sri Lanka government. The LTTE consisted of two different armies, one was the Eastern Wing and the other was Northern Wing. They both fought for the same thing just had different leadership.
