First was the Tamil Tigers (1970s to 2009). There were a ferocious terrorist/independence group in Sri Lanka who committed innumerable terrorist attacks on the Sinhalese majority and fought the Sri Lankan army to a standstill. After a number of years, the Sri Lankan military relaxed all the rules of war and finally defeated the Tamil Tigers in savage fighting condemned by many nations around the world. But it did bring peace and a cessation of terrorist attacks.

Hamas, Hezbollah, Tigray, Tamil Tigers - it was to be hoped that we were slowly putting it all behind us rather than resurrecting some of what had been settled.
