Editorial gloss

Primary Tier C quantified source. Verbatim: 'at least one soldier for every two civilians in Mullaitivu District, with a presence of at least 60,000 Sri Lankan Army personnel among just over 130,322 civilians… 25% of the Sri Lankan Army is currently occupying a district with only 0.6% of the population of Sri Lanka. These numbers exclude Navy and Air Force personnel. The most credible estimate of land occupied by the military in Mullaitivu is approximately 30,000 acres.' Always attributed to ACPR/PEARL (2017) — never aggregated in TLTE voice. District-specific; not extrapolated.
