For nearly three decades, Tamil Tiger rebels fought government forces in Sri Lanka, once controlling its northern and eastern regions. <br /><br />In May this year, the Sri Lankan military finally crushed the rebels, ending one of Asia's longest-running conflicts.<br /><br />Today, about 250,000 Tamils displaced by the fighting remain in camps in the north of the country and are not being allowed to leave.<br /><br />The government claims it intends to root out remnants of the LTTE from their midst before resettling most of the civilians by the end of the year. <br /><br />But critics say the detention is inhumane and urge more transparency from the government regarding the situation in the camps. <br /><br />In this special edition of 101 East, we ask what will it take for post-war Sri Lanka to achieve national reconciliation?
