A vendor, selling tunafish, sets up his shop on the street in front of a burned out building in this small town about 10 miles south of Colombo, Monday, August 01, 1983. He is now charging 5 times the regular price as residents rush to stock up following a 48 hour curfew over the weekend. In this year began the uprising of tamilian separatists which turn in a bloody civil war. (KEYSTONE/AP Photo/ Str) === ===
