1987–1989 JVP insurrection
The 1987–1989 JVP insurrection (also known as the 1988-1989 Revolt or the JVP troubles) was an armed revolt led by the Marxist Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (English: "People's Liberation Front") against the Government of Sri Lanka, which was led by President J. R. Jayewardene. The revolt, like a preceding insurgency which took place in 1971, was unsuccessful. The insurrection was a low-intensity conflict that lasted from April 1987 to December 1989. The JVP resorted to subversion, assassinations, raids, and attacks on military and civilian targets while the Sri Lankan government reacted through counter-insurgency operations to suppress the revolt.
