Sri Lanka anniversary: 10 years since civil war ended | Al Jazeera English
Sri Lanka is marking 10 years since the end of a decades-long civil war that left more than 100,000 people dead.
The United Nations has urged Sri Lanka to investigate alleged war crimes committed by both sides.
But disputes among communities continue to limit progress as 10 years has not diminished the grief for the survivors of Sri Lanka’s civil war.
Al Jazeera's Bernard Smith reports from a war memorial event in Mullivaikkal.

The Origins of Sri Lanka's Ethnic Conflict
Sri Lanka's civil war was one of the longest running in modern history. The conflict between the Sinhalese and the island's Tamils was brutal and terrifying, yet its origins were surprisingly recent. This video examines the forces of populism and population that grew into the horrifying experience that still scars Sri Lanka today.

Asia’s most beautiful railway line? The “Main Line” cuts through tea plantations and jungle, then passes Buddhist temples and relicts of the British Empire.
In the 19th century the British built a railway in what was then their colony of Ceylon. Their idea was to transport goods such as tea from the highlands to the port of Colombo. Today it’s mainly only locals and tourists who use the so-called "Main Line." The route is considered one of the most picturesque in the whole of Asia.
Our trip takes us from the capital, Colombo, to Ella in the highlands. Our first stop is one of the country’s largest elephant orphanages. And then on to Kandy, the former capital of the Singhalese kingdom. The city is home to the famous Temple of the Tooth, which is said to house the Buddha’s top left canine. The train then winds its way further up into the highlands. We watch tea pickers at work and go to a tea factory to discover where the aroma comes from. Nuwara Eliya is Sri Lanka’s highest town at an altitude of almost 1900 meters, where a racecourse still brings the colonial era back to life. The stations have also retained their own colonial charm: in 1901, a signaling system was set up to make the long journey safer. And those suffering from the altitude can catch their breath at the final stop, the spa in Ella.

Wijemuni Vijitha Rohana de Silva (born 1965) was a Sri Lankan sailor and an astrologer.

He later contested a general election under the Sihala Urumaya party in 2000.
Former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi arrives and inspects a Naval Cadet Assembly. This occurred on July 30, 1987. Rajiv Gandhi was inspecting a Sri Lankan Honor Guard. A Sri Lankan Sinhala Navy soldier hit Gandhi with his rifle butt. Bodyguards rushed to surround Gandhi in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
While the inspection is going on and Rajiv Gandhi passes a cadet who tries to give a blow to the Prime Minister with his service firearm.
The perpetrator is instantly restrained by the Prime Minister's security.

Alongside the Bibile to Lunugala road (A5) beside the village of Yalkumbura is located this golden statue of an archer representing the armed opposition to the British search party led by Sylvester Douglas Wilson Assistant Resident and British Agent.
I found these infos in online archives: Sylvester Douglas Wilson.Ceylon Civil Service.....1802.—September 16, 1817—He began his career as an extra Assistant in the Secretariat,from which he was promoted to be Third Assistant to the Resident and Judicial, Secretary to the Residency and Sitting Magistrate of Kandy on October 1,1816;and finally First Assistant to the Resident and Magistrate in Badulla.He was on the Grand Jury in May,1813."On the 10th of September,1817, Mr Wilson, who was Assistant Resident at Badulla,hearing of the arrival in Welassa of a suspicious stranger, sent Haji Mohandiram,the chief of the Moors in Welassa,to apprehend him,but Mohandiram was himself taken prisoner by Butawe Raterala and taken before the stranger,who,it was rumored,had himself declared king, and was subsequently murdered. When the intelligence reached Badulla, Mr.Wilson set out with a small detachment of troops to ascertain the real circumstances. At Etanawatta he met with an armed party, who demanded a conference.As Wilson advanced to meet them, he was treacherously shot dead with a volley of arrows in cold blood." "Manual of Uva" Gazette November 4 and 11, 1817." "Tombstones and Monuments in Ceylon" by J.Penry Lewis:"Such a cenotaph might at least have been dedicated by the Ceylon
Government to the memory of Sylvester Douglas Wilson of the Civil Service, a victim to duty, whose murder marked the outbreak of rebellion in Uva. His young wife's tomb at Badulla has been bodily lifted skywards by a grasping but discriminating bo-tree." Wilsons wife had already died the same fatal year,on the 24th of May 1817, only 24 years young of malaria:Her tombstone was recorded to exist in Badulla beside the Badulla Oya. More infos"Journal of the Dutch Burger Union": "Sacred to the Memory of Sophia Wilson, wife of Sylvester Douglas Wilson, Assistant Resident and Agent of the British Government in the Province of Ouvah. She departed this life at Badulla, after a few days' illness, on the morning of the 24th. May, 1817. Aged 24 years'. " A wild Bo-tree, has caught up this tombstone in its giant roots and raised the stone slab from its resting place as the tree grew. Bricks from the monument were discovered embedded in the branches and trunk, many feet up. Sophia Wilson died just four months prior to the murder of her husband, who was killed on the Badulla—Batticaloa road at the
outbreak of the 1818 Uva Rebellion. The events of the time record how mysterious whispering s of treason, were being stirred up, in October, of the year 1817, shortly
after the British Government had taken over the administration of the Sinhalese Highland kingdom. Mr. Sylvester Wilson, the Agent of Government at Badulla, received information of a forgathering of priests in the area of Wellassa. These were, it was reported, actively engaged in exciting insurrection and rebellion against foreign dominion. Mr. Wilson set out to ascertain the truth of these rumours and
investigate what were the real circumstances of these proceedings.
After an unsuccessful conference, on his return, we gather from the
many conflicting versions of this story, that Wilson went to a river,
with his Lascorins, to wash himself. An armed party of Kandyans
suddenly made their appearance on the opposite bank, and demanded
another conference with the British Agent. Mr, Wilson advanced to
them, but when within a few yards of the armed party, a shower of
arrows were treacherously discharged. There was little protection and
slender hope of escape. Attempting to take cover, the British Agent,
fell, an arrow had penetrated his brain. The traveler who wanders over the main road from Lunugalla to Bibile is reminded of this terrible tragedy, by a stone slab.

I found these infos in online archives: Sylvester Douglas Wilson.Ceylon Civil Service.....1802.—September 16, 1817—He began his career as an extra Assistant in the Secretariat,from which he was promoted to be Third Assistant to the Resident and Judicial, Secretary to the Residency and Sitting Magistrate of Kandy on October 1,1816;and finally First Assistant to the Resident and Magistrate in Badulla.He was on the Grand Jury in May,1813."On the 10th of September,1817, Mr Wilson, who was Assistant Resident at Badulla,hearing of the arrival in Welassa of a suspicious stranger, sent Haji Mohandiram,the chief of the Moors in Welassa,to apprehend him,but Mohandiram was himself taken prisoner by Butawe Raterala and taken before the stranger,who,it was rumored,had himself declared king, and was subsequently murdered. When the intelligence reached Badulla, Mr.Wilson set out with a small detachment of troops to ascertain the real circumstances. At Etanawatta he met with an armed party, who demanded a conference.As Wilson advanced to meet them, he was treacherously shot dead with a volley of arrows in cold blood." "Manual of Uva" Gazette November 4 and 11, 1817." "Tombstones and Monuments in Ceylon" by J.Penry Lewis:"Such a cenotaph might at least have been dedicated by the Ceylon
Government to the memory of Sylvester Douglas Wilson of the Civil Service, a victim to duty, whose murder marked the outbreak of rebellion in Uva. His young wife's tomb at Badulla has been bodily lifted skywards by a grasping but discriminating bo-tree." Wilsons wife had already died the same fatal year,on the 24th of May 1817, only 24 years young of malaria:Her tombstone was recorded to exist in Badulla beside the Badulla Oya. More infos"Journal of the Dutch Burger Union": "Sacred to the Memory of Sophia Wilson, wife of Sylvester Douglas Wilson, Assistant Resident and Agent of the British Government in the Province of Ouvah. She departed this life at Badulla, after a few days' illness, on the morning of the 24th. May, 1817. Aged 24 years'. " A wild Bo-tree, has caught up this tombstone in its giant roots and raised the stone slab from its resting place as the tree grew. Bricks from the monument were discovered embedded in the branches and trunk, many feet up. Sophia Wilson died just four months prior to the murder of her husband, who was killed on the Badulla—Batticaloa road at the
outbreak of the 1818 Uva Rebellion. The events of the time record how mysterious whispering s of treason, were being stirred up, in October, of the year 1817, shortly
after the British Government had taken over the administration of the Sinhalese Highland kingdom. Mr. Sylvester Wilson, the Agent of Government at Badulla, received information of a forgathering of priests in the area of Wellassa. These were, it was reported, actively engaged in exciting insurrection and rebellion against foreign dominion. Mr. Wilson set out to ascertain the truth of these rumours and
investigate what were the real circumstances of these proceedings.
