So it ends, presumably, for the civil war between the Sri Lanka government and the Tamil Tigers rebels. Searches are on for the rebel leader while mop-up operations are continuing. Unfortunately the end of the war doesn't mean an end to the tensions in that country, or even worldwide. The rebels may decide to continue as a purely guerilla outfit, the government may forego reconciliation efforts and instead disregard human rights and the law in dealing with the Tamil minority, and diaspora worldwide may continue quarrels and even violence, as has possibly happened in Toronto.
