1980s
In the 1980s, funded by aid received from the European Community, a colonisation scheme was started at Periya Vilankulam (Mahadiulwewa) tank, 30 km north-west of Trincomalee town.[3]
The colonisation scheme was extended into the Northern province with the introduction of the Manal Aru (Weli Oya) scheme, which covered the districts of Mullaitivu, Trincomalee, Vavuniya and Anuradhapura.[9]
Sinhalese were settled in traditionally Tamil land, given land, money to build homes and security provided by the Special Task Force.[1][10] Although the scheme covered four districts, administration was handled from the Sinhalese dominated Anuradhapura district.[9] The scheme aroused much anger amongst the Tamils.[11]
This anger boiled over into violence when the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam attacked the Kent and Dollar Farm settlement at Weli Oya, killing 62.[11]Leave a comment:
