Miriam Young: Sri Lanka’s Easter bombings highlight political and religious tensions

“The difficulties in Sri Lanka have to do with the very complex make up of its population, and the history of those different groups.”

Miriam Young, executive director of the U.S. Counsel on Sri Lanka, explains how the Easter bombings brought religious and political tensions to the forefront of the already fragile democracy.

Young’s interview with Lorna Dueck is part of a two-hour YES TV special airing August 24 at 8 p.m. ET and streamed on Facebook LIVE.
