ADAMS OFFRE COLLOQUI AI DISSIDENTI
Il presidente dello Sinn Fein e Teachta Dàla fresco di nomina, Gerry Adams, ha offerto colloqui distensivi con i dissidenti
Scrivendo sul suo blog, Leargas, l’uomo di punta dello Sinn Fein è tornato sull’omicidio del connestabile Ronan Kerr con toni molto duri. Egli ha invocato un servizio di polizia super partes e che sia in grado di garantire l’uguaglianza. Ha inoltre auspicato un confronto e una sfida ai responsabili del recente attentato dinamitardo.
“Ascolteranno? Non lo so. Ma non possiamo consentire la violenza di pochi. Neppure possiamo permettere ad una minuscola minoranza di mettere a rischio l’opportunità di avanzare nei nostri obiettivi repubblicani.” ha scritto.
L’intervento di Adams, non nuovo a questo tipo di allocuzioni, arriva dopo l’ondata di condanne per l’ennessimo attacco dissidente. Domenica circa cinquemila persone di sono radunate a Omagh per testimoniare il loro sdegno e la loro disapprovazione ai metodi dei gruppi armati repubblicani. Significativo il nome scelto per la manifestazione: ‘Not in my name’.Adams offers to talk to dissident republicans (UTV)
Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams has offered to talk to dissident republicans in a bid to put a halt to their violent acts.
Writing in his blog, Leargas, Adams said the killers of Constable Ronan Kerr, who died earlier this month after a bomb exploded under his car in Omagh, Co Tyrone, must be confronted.
“We have to stand up for equality and a non partisan, civic policing service in the north. And we have to confront and challenge those responsible for Ronan Kerr’s murder,” he wrote.
“Will they listen? I don’t know. But we cannot acquiesce to the violence of the few. Nor can we allow a tiny minority to undermine the opportunity to advance our republican objectives,” he continued.
On Sunday, up to 5,000 people took part in a walk for peace through the town of Omagh to mark the death of newly recruited Catholic police officer. Pc Kerr is survived by his mother Nuala, brothers Cathair and Aaron and sister Dairine.
The ‘Not In My Name’ rally was organised to pay tribute to the murdered 25-year-old and, also, to call for peace.
It came days after the highly symbolic funeral of Pc Kerr in which members of the PSNI, the GAA, politicians and school children came together in a show of unity.
Meanwhile, three men arrested on separate occasions in connection with the killing are still being questioned at Antrim Serious Crime Suite.
Police revealed on Sunday they had been given an extra five days to question a 33-year-old man detained in the Omagh area on Friday.
The two other men being held are aged 26 and 40.
