The expulsion of the Muslims from the Northern province was an act of ethnic cleansing carried out by the Tamil militant Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) organisation in October 1990. Due to increasing tensions between different Tamil religious groups in the North Sri Lanka, the LTTE forcibly expelled the 72,000 strong Muslim population from the Northern Province. ==Background== With the creation of the Sri Lanka Muslim Congress on the 21st of September 1981, the idea of the Muslim people of Sri Lanka being separate from the Tamils, was being reinforced.〔 〕 Due to this, they felt that if the goal of Tamil Eelam was reached, they would be a "minority, in a minority state",〔 〕 and the SLMC were strongly opposed to the idea of Tamil Eelam.〔 The situation was further aggravated with the creation of the Muslim Home Guard, by the Sri Lankan Government, leading to violent clashes and incidents taking place between the two communities. Tensions between the Tamils and Muslims were at an all time high, with the UTHR reporting that "It became an unspoken cliché that Muslims were traitors."〔 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Expulsion of Muslims from the Northern province by LTTE」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
