Ulster's perilous stand-off

Article Abstract:

Protestant groups are seeking to march in Catholic areas of Northern Ireland. The Orange Order, a Protestant organization, has supporters camped by a Catholic street to demand the right to march there, while the army has blocked access points. These protests have damaged Northern Ireland by poinoning the political atmosphere. The Orangemen are not concerned about their impact of their actions on the economy of Northern Ireland, or the peace process, and they see the United Kingdom as likely to prop up the economy through subsidies.

Blackmail in Ulster

Article Abstract:

UK Sec of State for Northern Ireland Mo Mowlam mishandled the negotiations prior to the Orange Order's Jul 1997 march in Portadown, and violence again became a political tool of first resort for Protestant and Catholic extremists. Mowlam needs to restrict the marchers to regions that consent to their presence.
