Sri Lanka peace at risk
following the assassination of Foreign Minister Kadirgama last Friday which has led to increased tension and fears of heavy violence to erupt in the country.

This island nation is currently under a state of an ongoing ceasefire to a long, brutal civil war between the Sinhalese and minority Tamils, many of which live in Toronto. The Tamils have long fought for a separate homeland on the island because of blatant discrimination by Sinhalese though their organisation, the LTTE, popularly called the Tamil Tigers is considered a terrorist group by many. The Tigers are suspected in the death of the Foreign Minister because of his outspokenness against them, though there's no real evidence.
