Sri Lanka...Fighting too much?

After the Sri Lankan elections, General Fonseka; who was defeated by current president Rajapaksa, contested the results. He was then arrested for "working with anti government forces," a claim which both he and his wife contest. After his imprisonment, his supporters took to the streets in a silent protest to show their support while supporters of President Rajapaksa began to throw rocks, bottles, and the like sparking an outright fight in the streets. Political unrest in the third world...well I guess the saga continues.
