Abstract
Many dramatic incidents and developments marked 1989 in Sri Lanka, but four were the most consequential. These were the parliamentary election, the agreement with India on the withdrawal of the Indian Peace-Keeping Force (IPKF), the securing of massive aid from external sources, and the death of Rohana Wijeweera, founder and leader of the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP), the political party and terrorist organization that, off and on, has held Sri Lanka to ransom for nearly two decades. This article reviews these as interdependent events that together point to a more positive future for the country than might have been admitted a year ago.
