Irish Anti-Imperialist Forum 2013
The Irish Republican Alternative to the G8
Republican Sinn Féin will be holding an Irish Anti-Imperialist Forum as a counter to the G8 Summit in June. The Anti-Imperialist Forum/Republican Alternative to the G8
will take place in Belfast on June 14 and 15. The forum will discuss
all aspects of imperialism both in terms of British imperialism in
Ireland as well as the new imperialism of the EU, ECB and IMF as
experienced by the people of the 26 Counties. Delegates from
international anti-imperialist organisations will provide a world
perspective.
It is intended as a forum for political and community activists from throughout Ireland and abroad to discuss the various political, social and economic aspects of imperialism from both an Irish as well as an international perspective. Such a debate can be used to chart a way forward towards building an Irish and international alternative to the neo-liberal political and economic policies of the G8 and other trans global imperialist organisations.
More details of the Anti-Imperialist forum will be released over the coming weeks.

Republican prisoner protest held in Naas
Kildare Republican Sinn Féin held a picket at the Town Hall in
Naas, Co Kildare on Saturday February 23 to highlight the ongoing
internment without trial of veteran Republican Martin Corey by the
British Government as well as the ongoing struggle for political status
being waged by the Republican prisoners in Maghaberry prison in Co
Antrim.
Speaking at the picket the Athy based national President of Republican Sinn Féin Des Dalton said that the struggle of the Republican prisoners was part of the fight for a New Ireland: “It is part of the same fight as that against austerity and the troika of the EU,ECB and IMF that is holding this part of Ireland to ransom, it is part of the same fight against the sacrifice of this and future generation to bailout the EU’s banking system. Ireland is being assailed by two imperialisms, the new imperialism of the troika in the 26 Counties and the old imperialism of British occupation in the Six Counties, they are both two side of the same coin. The internment without trial of Martin Corey as well as the continued imprisonment of Marian Price gives the lie to those who would pretend that the Six-County State is a normal democratic state where civil and political rights are protected, their imprisonment expose it for the undemocratic and sectarian entity that it is. We call for their immediate and unconditional release.” Des Dalton said.

Candle Light Vigil at GPO marks 30th Anniversary of End of Hunger Strike
Republican Sinn Féin marked the 30th anniversary of the ending of the hunger strikes in the H Blocks of Long Kesh with a candle light vigil at the GPO in O’Connell St in Dublin on October 5.
Addressing the crowd the President of Republican Sinn Féin Des Dalton said that the hunger striker was not simply in pursuit of political status. “Bobby Sands and his comrades gave their lives that the All-Ireland Republic might live. These young Irishmen were willing to give their lives that their children might live in a New Ireland. 30 years later the fact that there are young Irishmen in Maghaberry prison locked in a struggle for political status tells us that nothing has changed. Ireland still suffers British occupation and partition. Here in the 26-Counties the people are being sold out to the new imperialists of the EU/ECB and IMF. The most fitting monument we can erect to the martyrs of 1981 is to bring about that All-Ireland Federal Democratic Socialist Republic.” He concluded by quoting from the statement issued by the Republican POWs: “There were several reasons given by our comrades for going on hunger-strike. One was because we had no choice and no other means of securing a principled solution to the four-year protest.
“Another, and of fundamental importance, was to advance the Irish people's right to liberty. We believe that the age-old struggle for Irish self-determination and freedom has been immeasurably advanced by this hunger-strike and therefore we claim a massive political victory. The hunger-strikers, by their selflessness, have politicised a very substantial section of the Irish nation and exposed the shallow, unprincipled nature of the Irish partitions bloc.
“Our comrades have lit with their very lives an eternal beacon which will inspire this nation and people to rise and crush oppression forever and his nation can be proud that it produced such a quality of man hood.
“We pay a special tribute to the families of our dead comrades. You have suffered greatly and with immense dignity. Your loved ones, our comrades and friends, were and would be very proud of you for standing by them. No tribute is to great.
“Also, we give a special mention to those families who could not bear to watch their loved ones die in pain and agony. We prisoners understand the pressure you were under and stand by you.
“We thank the National H-Block/Armagh Committee, the H-Block movement, the nationalist people of Ireland, and all those who championed our cause abroad, we are indebted to you and ask you to continue your good work on our behalf.
“Lastly we reaffirm our commitment to the achievement of the five demands by whatever means we believe necessary and expedient. We rule nothing out.
“Under no circumstances are we going to devalue the memory of our dead comrades by submitting ourselves to a dehumanising and degrading régime.”
