Sri Lankan army in Jaffna teaches counter insurgency to foreign troops

The Sri Lankan army held a ‘Counter Insurgency Jungle Warfare Course’ for military officers from across Asia earlier this year, touring them across Jaffna.

Military officers from Bangladesh, Pakistan, Maldives and Nepal were given a tour of Jaffna as part of the counter insurgency course. Amongst the areas they visited was the heavily mined region of Muhumalai.

Amongst the presentations given to the foreign officials was one entitled “Handling of Post War Scenario in SFHQ Level”.

 

We need your support

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.

Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
