Qu'est que ca veut dire?

Pendant la période coloniale, les anglais s'appuyaient sur les tamouls qui étaient une minorité.Quand il y a eu l'independance, evidemment, la majorité buddhiste sri-lankaise en voulait aux tamouls.

Qu'est-ce que ca veut dire '' ils s'appuyaient'' sur les tamouls.Et ''en voulait'' aux tamouls.

    en vouloir à qqn = be made with sb, be annoyed with sb

    s'appuyer = to lean on, to be based on, to rely on, to rest on

    My guess would be:
    The English relied on the Tamils, who were in a minority.
    When the Tamils got independence the Sri-Lankan Buddhist majority were annoyed with the them.
