The Five Demands

Il Sinn Fein ha aspramente criticato il messaggio letto ieri da un rappresentate della Real IRA durante la commemorazione di Pasqua che ha avuto luogo ieri a Derry.
L’uomo con il viso coperto, ha duramente attaccato Martin McGuinness colpevole di aver definito i dissidenti come traditori. Ad onor di cronaca, leggendo altre testate giornalistiche pare che   durante la lettura del proclama Real IRA, non si sia fatto esplicito riferimento ad un coinvolgimento del gruppo paramilitare  nell’assassinio di Denis Donaldson, avvenuto nel 2006, come invece era stato anticipato dal Sunday Tribune all’interno di un’intervista rilasciata da un rappresentate del Real IRA.
Il Sinn Fein ha dichiarato che non si lascerà intimorire da chi non ha una strategia politica e da chi gode di un minimo supporto.

SF criticise ‘Real IRA’ message (BBC News Northern Ireland)
Sinn Fein has criticised a statement made at a dissident republican demonstration in Londonderry by a man claiming to represent the Real IRA.
The masked man attacked the peace process and Sinn Fein’s Martin McGuinness for recently describing republican dissidents as “traitors”.
Two soldiers shot dead in Antrim last month were both killed by the Real IRA.
Sinn Fein said it would not be intimidated by groups with no political strategy and only miniscule support.
BBC Ireland correspondent Mark Simpson said a young man, dressed in combat fatigues, dark gloves and a balaclava, emerged from the middle of the crowd of about 200 at a cemetery on the outskirts of Derry.
‘Implied threat’
There was a short delay, as the masked man could not unfold the statement with his gloves, and had to be helped before he could begin, our correspondent said.
The man used belligerent language and there was nothing in the statement to indicate the group would accept the widespread calls for it to stop its violence, he added.
Sinn Fein later said the statement contained an “implied threat”.
Sappers Mark Quinsey, 23, from Birmingham and Patrick Azimkar, 21, from London, were shot dead at Massereene Army base, Antrim, on 7 March.
Four other people, including two pizza delivery men, were injured.
