Situation:
As the war in Sri Lanka ends and the Tamil Tigers have been defeated the Sri Lankan government has displaced roughly a quarter of a million Tamils into internment camps. These camps are highly secured by dense barbed wire and are very unsuitable for living. The Sri Lankan military has prevented humanitarian groups from monitoring and protecting the Tamil containment camps.
With mounting pressure on the Sri Lankan government, there have been multiple promises made to release the Tamils from the camps. It has been a challenge to gauge whether the government has released Tamils. Some sources say that the government has said they release Tamils, however, in reality, the Tamils have just been moved to a different campsite.
As a compromise to the external pressure, the Sri Lankan government now promises “day passes” to the Tamils. This allows the Tamil to travel at a certain time and only go a certain distance. Once the time has elapsed the Tamils must return to the camps and wait for their chance to go out again. Recognizing the current issue in Sri Lanka the UN Secretary warns the Sri Lankan government about the dangers of the current policy, then there could potentially be increasing tensions with the Tamils or even worse an unexpected uprising against the government.
The Containment of the Sri Lankan Junglefowl:
In overcrowded and unsanitary pastures, in northern Sri Lanka, there are millions of Sri Lankan Junglefowl are jammed into on confined pasture. Each day is the same: they gaze upon the greener grass on the other side of the barbed wire fence patiently awaiting their fate. Every so often a curious Junglefowl will push the boundaries and attempt to jump the barbed fence to graze the luscious grass on the other side. Unknowingly, any Junglefowl who tries to achieve a better life oftentimes is greeted by death.
The living conditions within the Junglefowl pasture are inadequate with no clean drinking water, poor sanitation and stuffed full. As substantial rain continually rolls in from the north the Junglefowls living conditions will only get crueler. The caregivers of the Junglefowl have made several promises to improve the living conditions and even release some Junglefowl to a more suitable pasture for grazing.
Neighboring herdsmen have been checking on the herder who treats the Junglefowl so poorly. However, it is hard for the neighbors to determine whether the Junglefowl herder has begun to move them to a better pasture or even improving upon the existing pasture. With time the Junglefowl herder permits the Junglefowl to leave the pasture for a limited amount of time and can only go but so far. Once the time is up the Junglefowl must return to the unsuitable pasture. With little to no say the Junglefowl patiently wait, for help from neighboring herdsmen, for their opportunity to flock away from the horrid pasture to new, better pastures. However, should the herdsmen continue to neglect care towards the Junglefowl. Then, the Junglefowl are likely to resent the herdsmen and flock away from the pastures.
