Kaupunki on Sri Lankan tamilien tärkein kaupunki, josta heidän itsenäisyysliikkeensä kaavailee maansa pääkaupunkia. Niinpä Jaffna on ollut sisällissodan kynsissä 1980-luvulta alkaen, ja sen väkiluku on pienentynyt asukkaiden paetessa levottomuuksia. 1970-luvulle asti kaupungissa oli merkittävä singaleesivähemmistö.
- Jaffna (129.000 abitanti) è una città dello Sri Lanka situata nel settore settentrionale, sulla penisola omonima, allo sbocco della laguna di Jaffna nella baia di Palk. È capoluogo del distretto omonimo. Importante porto peschereccio e commerciale è anche un attivo mercato agricolo e forestale con piccole industrie di trasformazione. La città era conosciuta dal 204 a.C. ed era abitata dai Tamil tuttora presenti. Fu occupata nel XVII secolo dai Portoghesi che già dal 1544 vi avevano fondato delle missioni. Nel 1656 fu presa dagli Olandesi e poi, nel 1795, dagli Inglesi. Dopo le ripercussioni di decenni di guerra civile (Tamil contro le truppe governative), la città ha subito anche i danni (meno gravi di quelli registrati sulle coste orientali dell'isola) provocati dal maremoto dell'Oceano Indiano nel dicembre 2004.

- Jaffna is the capital city of the Northern Province, Sri Lanka. It is the administrative headquarters of the Jaffna district located on a peninsula of the same name. Jaffna is approximately six miles away from Kandarodai which served as a famous emporium in the Jaffna peninsula from classical antiquity. Jaffna's suburb, Nallur served as the capital of the centuries-long medieval Jaffna kingdom. Prior to the Sri Lankan civil war, it was Sri Lanka's second most populated city after the commercial capital Colombo. Since the 1980s insurgent uprising, military occupation, extensive damage, expulsion and depopulation has happened. Since the end of civil war in 2009, refugees and internally displaced people are returning to their homes and government and private sector reconstruction has begun. Historically, Jaffna has been a contested city. It was made into a colonial port town during the Portuguese occupation of the Jaffna peninsula in 1619. It changed hands to the Dutch colonials, who lost it to the British in 1796. After Sri Lanka gained independence 1948, the political relationship between the minority Sri Lankan Tamils and majority Sinhalese worsened and after the Black July pogrom, civil war erupted in 1983. Jaffna was occupied by the rebel Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) in 1986 and from 1989 until 1995. Indian Peace Keeping Force (IPKF) briefly occupied the city in 1987. The Sri Lankan military gained control in 1995. Majority of the city’s population are Sri Lankan Tamils, although there was a significant number of Sri Lankan Moors, Indian Tamils and other ethnic groups present in the city prior to the civil war. Most Sri Lankan Tamils are Hindus followed by Christians, Muslims and a small Buddhist minority. The city is home to number of educational institutions established during the colonial and post-colonial period. It also has number of commercial institutions, minor industrial units, banks, hotels and other government institutions such as the Hospital. It is home to the popular Jaffna library that was burnt down and rebuilt. The city is anchored by the Jaffna fort rebuilt during the Dutch colonial period.

- Jaffna är en stad i norra Sri Lanka. Den var länge landets näst största stad, men många invånare har flytt från staden under det inbördeskrig som har pågått sedan 1983. Jaffna är administrativ huvudort för Nordprovinsen samt ett distrikt med samma namn som staden. Befolkningen låg på 78 781 invånare år 2007. Jaffna är huvudstaden för tamilerna i Sri Lanka, och den fungerade under en tid i praktiken som huvudstad för den tamilska stat som gerillarörelsen LTTE byggde upp i landets norra och östra delar. Sedan 2002 råder en osäker vapenvila, och 27 000 man stark regeringstrupp kontrollerar Jaffnahalvön, där staden Jaffna är belägen. Jaffna var tidigare en viktig universitetsstad, och i staden fanns ett stort bibliotek. Biblioteket brändes ned av polis vid månadsskiftet maj-juni 1981, och det var en av de viktigaste händelserna i den våldsspiral som 1983 ledde till ett fullskaligt inbördeskrig mellan tamilska separatister och den lankesiska regeringen. Jaffna har ett stort strategiskt och symboliskt värde i konflikten mellan tamilska separatister och den singalesiska lankesiska regeringen. Det har också inneburit att staden har drabbats hårt av häftiga strider under inbördeskriget. 1995 intog den lankesiska regeringsarmén staden och håller den sedan dess. Enligt folkräkningen 1971 fanns i Jaffna 20 514 singalesiska invånare. Dessa hade reducerats till noll i oktober 1987. LTTE, som ofta har svarat på regeringsstyrkornas attacker mot civila tamiler med mord på civila singaleser, har anklagats för etnisk rensning, riktad mot både singaleser och muslimer. Lankesiska muslimer hävdar att deras grupp varit bosatt i Jaffna sedan 1 000 år. LTTE utfärdade 1992 en proklamation med innehåll att alla muslimer som inte lämnade området inom 24 timmar stannade på "egen risk".

- Jaffna Yalpanam (Yal = harpe et Panam = ville, Yalpanam signifie donc la ville du harpiste) est la capitale de la Province du Nord du Sri Lanka. Autrefois capitale d'un royaume tamoul établi par Ârya Chakravarti. Elle fut considérée comme la capitale culturelle des tamouls sri-lankais. La ville est située au nord du Sri Lanka, à 400 km de Colombo et proche de l'Inde du Sud. C'était la seconde ville en importance du pays jusqu'à une période récente. Bien que la majorité de sa population soit constituée de Tamouls sri-lankais, elle abrite également une minorité de Maures sri-lankais (musulmans) et des descendants des Portugais (catholiques). La majorité des musulmans sri lankais ont été expulsés de Jaffna par le LTTE durant les années 1990 à cause du conflit ethnique activé dans les années 1970. Ce conflit a mené à la désertification de la ville qui abrite désormais une population exclusivement tamoule et une présence militaire. La ville possédait un port important. Aujourd'hui ensablé, il n'est plus utilisé que par des pêcheurs.
