Abstract

The process of resettling Northern Muslims in Sri Lanka following years of displacement due to conflict poses multifaceted challenges to sustainable post-war development and reconciliation. This study critically examines the intricacies of this complex endeavor, shedding light on the social, economic, and political factors that impact the lives of the resettled communities. By exploring the experiences, obstacles, and opportunities encountered by Northern Muslims, this research contributes to the broader discourse on conflict resolution and sustainable development in post-war societies, offering insights for policy formulation and fostering reconciliation.
