Muslims in Jaffna town hung black flags to mark 28 years since they were expelled from the peninsula by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE).
The LTTE remained in control of Jaffna for 5 years after the expulsion, until the Sri Lankan government captured the town in 1995.
Despite Sri Lanka's control of Jaffna for over 20 years, thousands of Muslims remain displaced today. Of the 20,000 Muslim families that were originally displaced from the district, only small fractions have managed to return. Over 14,000 Muslim families were displaced from the Northern Province in total.
