FORUM

The Irish Freedom Movement campaigns to break through the wall of silence surrounding Britain's war in Ireland and to win support here for the fight for Irish freedom. We are organising forums to discuss and debate contemporary issues that have a bearing on the struggle for Meetings will be held fortnightly starting on Wednesday 13 June at 7.30pm in Room 10/11, Friends House, 173 Euston Road, London NW1

Irish Freedom Movement Forum Room 10/11, Friends House, 173 Euston Road, NW1. (Euston tube) 1. Wednesday 13 June Lessons for withdrawal: Algeria and Northern Ireland The colonial relationship between Britain and Ireland is unique. The partition of Ireland in 1921 and the incorporation of the Six Counties of Northern Ireland into the British state have allowed Britain to maintain its domination of the whole of Ireland. Algeria's relationship to the French state when it was a French colony had certain similarities. As a result, the Algerian struggle for independence was significant for the profound consequences it had for the stability of the French state. What lessons can we learn about what is needed to secure Britain's withdrawal from Ireland?

2. Wednesday 27 June British repression and Irish resistance The introduction to this discussion will take the form of a slide show about life in the occupied Six Counties. The slides were taken on a recent Irish Freedom Movement delegation and draw attention to the impact of the four-year old Anglo-Irish accord on the struggle in Ireland. The current range of Britain's 'counter-insurgency' techniques will be assessed along with the nationalist response.

3. Wednesday 11 July The war South of the Border One day Irish Taoiseach Charles Haughey expresses his concern about British rule for Irish people; the next day he colludes with the British in the prosecution of republicans.

What accounts for the ambivalence on the national question by this and all previous Southern Irish governments? Why does the Republic of Ireland display characteristics more like a third world country than a West European state? What role can people in the South play in ending the war?
