ADMINISTRATION

   
Short strand under attack! Tre dagar av kravaller på nordirland!
Short Strand, ett katolskt arbetarområde omringat av lojalistiska diton, har under flera år blivit attackerade av lojalistiska krafter. Slagsmål, bomber och trakasserier har tillhört vardagen i "det nya nordirland". Sedan tre dagar har attackernas intensitet dock ökat markant och efter att 300 maskerade lojalister stormade området igår så bröt kraftiga kravaller ut i östra Belfast och även eldstrider mellan IRA och UVF.
Anledningen till attackerna som provocerat fram de kravaller som nu sker på Irland är idagsläget okända. Den nya generation republikaner som tagit upp standarden efter nu nedlagda PIRA och numera nyliberala Sinn Féin har varit nogranna att inte provocera fram onödiga attacker eller bråk med de lojalistiska krafterna som så ofta i historien mördat katoliker enbart beroende på deras religion. Trots det har spänningen mellan katolska områden och protestantiska varit markant och trots att över 80 "fredsmurar" byggts sedan "fredsavtalet" har attacker, trakasserier och bråk utbrutit under åren - och då i synnerhet under den marschsäsong som lojalisterna nu närmar sig.

Attacken igår är bara en av flera större incidenter i det lilla samhället Short Strand - en liknande attack som igår anses t.o.m. ha varit startskottet för "the troubles" skedde 1969 och senast 2005 skakades området av en liknande situation. Och återigen står många katoliker och republikaner chockade över att polisen, numera styrd av Sinn Fein, helt plötsligt är okapabel att avstyra en stor samling beväpnade lojalister som ger sig på ett område med god tid att organisera och planera sitt anfall.

Vi i Irland Information Sverige skickar såklart vårat stöd till de republikaner som natten till idag, igår och även i natt kommer bege sig ut på gatorna för att försvara sina hem mot den lojalistiska rörelsen. En rörelse som med enkelhet kan förklaras som en fascistisk och rasistisk rörelse. Utan tvekan kommer dessa dagaras händelser skrivas in i den långa, blodiga, historien över hur misslyckat "nordirland" är som stat och så alltid kommer vara tills dess att den irländska republiken har rests sig mot de nyliberala kolosser som är grunden för den form av rasism och sekterism som lojalismen utgör. Framtiden kommer avgöra om även dessa attacker kommer föda den ilska som bubblar under ytan i det ockuperade irland och återigen explodera i den våg av kamp som utlöstes av lojalismens pogromer 1969. Kravallerna som nu råder sägs vara "bland de värsta på 15 år" - om utvecklingen fortsätter kan mycket väl hela nordirland återigen explodera.



Många experter siar nu också på om de lojalistiska terrororganisationerna också håller på att återvända. I flera år har mindre bombattentat, mordförsök och skottlossningar skett från dessa grupper men de har ansetts för kriminella av både republikaner och brittisk stat för att utgöra något reelt hot - de flesta sekteristiska brott har snarare åstakommits av berusade pöblar och enstaka fanatiker - gårdagens händelser visar tydligt på hur denna trend har vänt och hur vi återigen tyvärr måste räkna med att mord på helt oskyldiga katoliker, enbart för deras religions skull, kan börja ske igen. Gårdagens attacker sägs vara verket av UVF.

Två lojalister blev även skadade i attacken mot Short Strand efter att vad som antas vara IRA försvarat området efter att hundratals maskerade lojalister trängt sig in med brandbomber och diverse vapen i ett försök att skapa liknande pogromer som tidigare i historien.En journalist sägs också ha blivit skottskadad av UVF efter att ha hamnat i en eldstrid mellan IRA och UVF.

Slutligen står dessa händelser som ett monument att problematiken som präglar området verkligen inte kan besegras med nyliberal politik, kappvändningar, utförsäljningar, privatiseringar eller korrupta politiker som skryter om sina tidigare karriärer som "frihetskämpar". Nordirland är en korrupt stat och kommer så vara, präglad av interna motsättningar och orättvisor, tills dess att staten i sig upplöses och den irländska, socialistiska, republiken har skapats.

I Short Strand "Europas Gazaremsa" som det kallats så är idag läget allvarligt. Många är skadade, chockade och rädda. Andra är stridsberedda. Brandbomber, skottlossning och grupper med ungdomar har brakat ihop med polis och motståndare i flera timmar.

Nedan följer flera länkar, och vi kommer med tiden även samla ihop artiklar om händelserna i Short Strand, juni, 2011. På "nya fredfulla" irland..

Dissident protests demand action on prisoners' status
Dissident republican supporters staged a series of protests across Northern Ireland at the weekend, calling for political prisoner status and for the freeing of prominent activist Marian Price.

Part 1 of 3.


Around 200 people gathered outside Maghaberry Prison yesterday waving tricolours, blowing whistles and carrying placards.

On Saturday some 30 republicans gathered for a so-called "white-line protest" in Londonderry's Shipquay Street also urging support for "PoWs."

Yesterday's march from Maghaberry visitors' centre to the main gates of the prison saw protesters call for the release of Price, who was jailed last month for encouraging support for an illegal organisation.

Price was pictured at a republican rally in Derry's City Cemetery in April holding a statement which was read by a masked man.

She was jailed in 1973 for her part the Old Bailey bombing carried out by the IRA. After the cemetery incident her release licence was revoked by Secretary of State Owen Paterson.

The weekend's events came amid warnings that dissidents are wrecking Derry's economy with businesses losing millions of pounds because of regular bombscares and explosions.

Foyle MP Mark Durkan said continued dissident activity in the area was having a devastating impact on the city's commercial centre.

Last week the niece of deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness was caught up in the chaos following a bomb explosion in the Lecky Road.

Last month a gang of masked men threw a bomb into the Santander bank in the Diamond in the city centre, forcing the area to be evacuated. It has since emerged that the city's Richmond centre lost more than £100,000 in business that day.

Mr Durkan said the disruption simply cannot continue."So-called dissident attacks in Derry are not threatening some distant system, disturbing the establishment or challenging the state," he said.

"Instead, they are doing real damage to a city centre that needs every trading hour it can get.

"It is local people who own, run or work in businesses who lose trade, product and wages as a result of such attacks and threats.

"The economic climate is challenging enough for businesses everywhere without shops and outlets here being harassed and handicapped by the commercial vandalism of the dissidents."

Mr Durkan said those responsible were wrecking the city and preventing real progress.

"We all share in the wider civic loss that comes from repeated disruptions which keep people out of the city centre and put others off coming to the city as either shoppers or tourists," he said.

"Shutting down the centre of Derry will not open up any political paths for these groups.

"These attacks are victimising legitimate local businesses, threatening jobs, costing wages and doing Derry down



Warning on republican jail protest

JUSTICE minister David Ford has been warned not to give in to dissident republican demands for Maghaberry prisoners to be given political status.

On Saturday dissident republican supporters protested outside the prison and a ‘dirty protest’ is continuing inside the jail.

But DUP MP Jeffrey Donaldson said: “They are demanding free association within the prison which is tantamount to special category status, similar to what would have been happening in the old Maze Prison.

“We’re absolutely clear that David Ford must resist these threats of violence from dissidents seeking concessions.”

A spokeswoman for the Prison Service denied that there has been a deal with prisoners about political status.

Explosive Device was Planted in College Car Park During Royal Visit (IRA Statement)
Received anonymously today by the Sovereign Nation and other media outlets:
"Contrary to what the public believe, the Queen of Britains visit to Cork did not go physically unapposed . Despite being under "24 hour surveillance", volunteers of the Irish Republican Army gained access to the University College Cork campus and planted an explosive device in the 'Aras Mac Leinn' car park a day before the Queen was invited to visit a section of the College.

Despite ringing the Samaritans and local media with a detailed warning using a recognised codeword,the Gardai kept the media censored and failed to warn the public about the device. Due to the authorities and their amateurish attitude in dealing with the situation, the planting af other devices in strategic locations in opposition to the Queens visit was aborted at the last minute and volunteers pulled back in the interest of safety towards civilians.

This again shows our military capabilities and we will continue to target any "arm" of the British establishment who may visit Cork. And to those who collaborated with the Queen (particullarly those who collaborated for financial gain) we may prove ourselves as very unforgiving.

The Queen has come and gone.....but we are here to stay.
