Sri Lanka
ANURADHAPURA
In 161 BCE, Tamils from southern India conquered Anuradhapura, the Sinhalese royal capital. Since then, conflict between the Tamils and the Sinhalese has continued unabated to the present day. Tensions between the Sri Lankan government and the Tamil Tigers hover on the brink of civil war. In a once-holy city, reduced now to ruins by many battles, he prays. For peace tomorrow. For days without war.
