War and Peace in Sri Lanka

Optimists believed that the Oslo talks, which were scheduled in the wake of the EU ban on the LTTE, would break the impasse between the two contesting parties viz. the Government of Sri Lanka and the LTTE. However, those who were familiar with the tactics of the LTTE and the politics in Sri Lanka never expected resolving of such a complicated issue with a simple move. Ultimately, Oslo talks failed and undeclared war is being waged between the Government and the LTTE.
