Sri Lanka Elections
Sri Lankan policemen guard the gate of a polling station at the Manik Farm camp for the internally displaced in Vavuniya, about 230 kilometers (143 miles) north of Colombo, Sri Lanka, Tuesday, Jan. 26, 2010. There was less enthusiasm for the poll in minority Tamil areas most affected by the brutal civil war, and early morning explosions in the city of Jaffna, in the heart of the predominantly Tamil north, were expected to further suppress turnout. During the last presidential election in 2005, won by Rajapaksa, the Tamil Tigers enforced a boycott among ethnic Tamils at gunpoint. (AP Photo/Chamila Karunaratne)
