Bon je n'ai pas trop le temps mais voici les developements recents.
Ce mois, les Provos sont senses organiser une conference nationale de leur mouvement pour reconnaitre la police d'Irlande du Nord (celle du Sud est deja reconnue). Les chances sont tres limitees qu'ils ne la reconnaissent pas.
Le test pour voir si ils sont "serieux" est qu'ils participent activement a l''effort policier contre les organisations encore en lutte...
Cela a cause des remous au sein de leur organisation. 5 de leurs 24 deputes a Stormont ont demissione a cause de cela. (un 6eme est parti pour d'autres raisons)
Concerned Republicans (le groupe dont on parlait en Septmbre) va contester 13 circonscriptions electorales, le but etant moins essayer de se faire elire mais pour casser le vote.
L'electorat nationaliste est desenchante. En un an, une personne sur quatre ne s'est pas reinscrit sur le registre electoral a Belfast West (la circonscription de G. Adams, avec 27% en moins A Ballymurphy)
Je conclus par ce que Anthony Blair ecrit dans le IRish Times de ce matin:
"There is no doubt that the Sinn Féin leadership wants to make the commitment on policing (...)I recall time and again being told that the IRA would never decommission; they would never give up violence; they would never commit to exclusively peaceful means. But they have done all these things. Sinn Féin has demonstrated one of the most remarkable examples of leadership I have come across in modern politics. It has been historic and it has been real. For republicans, whose experience of policing has been bitter and, in their eyes, deeply partisan, and who have spent a lifetime fighting it, a move to support the PSNI and the criminal justice system is a move of profound significance. (...) Strong leadership has brought us this far. It can bring us further. Ten years ago the very idea of the DUP and Sinn Féin in government together would have been thought absurd. Today it can happen, indeed should happen. In 10 years’ time, if it does, people will wonder why it was ever in doubt. This is called progress and we should never give up on making it. (Prime Minister Blair, Good faith is key to breaking current peace process impasse, The Irish Times, 8 January 2007)
