Abstract
The longstanding conflict in the north east of Sri Lanka appears to be reaching a critical juncture. Whilst renewed fighting is hardly unusual in this seventeen year war between the Tamil Tigers and Sri Lankan security forces, the scale and direction of current battles suggest that the Tigers may be close to victory, if their leadership cares to see it that way. The rapid reverse in government fortunes presents dilemmas all round.
