Normalising the Abnormal: The Militarisation of Mullaitivu

Adayaalam Centre for Policy Research & PEARL · Adayaalam / PEARL (2017)

tlte-cite:adayaalam-normalising-2017

Editorial gloss

Quantifies Mullaitivu: at least 30,000 acres under military occupation; 1 soldier per 2 civilians; ~25% of the Sri Lankan Army in a district holding 0.6% of the national population — the structural data that anchors the post-war demographic-displacement reading. Numbers attributed to Adayaalam/PEARL, never to TLTE.
