Foreign Intervention
A conflict in a country may caused other country to play the role of a mediator, which is a neutral party of the two opposing groups who brings the two opposing sides together for a discussion. The other country may also send troops to directly resolve the conflict.
The conflict in Sri Lanka attracted the attention of India. India originally tried to be a mediator as a response to the violence in July 1983. The foreign minister originally intended to mediate with the Sri Lankans and the Tamils, however, the mediation didn't work as the two parties cannot come to an agreement
In July 1987, India pressurize Sri Lanka to sign an agreement with India to stop the conflict. However, the Tamil Tigers did not completely surrender their weapons. In October 1987, the Indian troops took control of the Tamil Tigers forcefully. This led to the clash of the Indian peacekeeping force and the Tamil Tigers from October 1988 to December 1988. The peacekeeping force was withdrawn in March 1990
