Published #OnThisDay 15th August 1969, a statement from the IRA in the immediate aftermath of the Battle of the Bogside.
It calls for the disarming of the B Specials, withdrawal of British Troops and a UN-supervised all-Ireland election. It also rejects calls from some for the suspension of Stormont and introduction of direct Westminster rule.

For a Republican, All-Islands, Internationalism From Below Coalition
A series of articles from Allan Armstrong of Republican Communist Forum (@rcfscotland@mastodon.scot).
https://republicancommunist.org/blog/2022/03/25/21248/
Allan Armstrong has written reviews of three books which address the political situation Socialists face, first of all in Ireland. He has extended this to Scotland, Wales and England, and their position in a world of competing imperialisms. The purpose in doing this is to build the case for a Republican, all-islands, âinternationalism from belowâ coalition to challenge the UK state and its imperial allies.

We discuss his politicisation growing up in Derry; his role in the Derry Republican movement and perspective on the Officials and the divisions which led to the formation of the IRSP; his work with the IMG and Troops Out Movement in England; joining Peoples' Democracy and his central role in the H-Blocks campaign during the 1981 hunger strikes; his move towards Sinn FĂ©in and the influence of Peopleâs Democracy; and his perspective on the contemporary left in Ireland.

Published #OnThisDay 11th January 1995:
Northern Ireland Report, No. 21
Northern Ireland Report was published by an ad hoc group of individuals in the United States who, while close to Sinn FĂ©in, were critical of it, and particularly so during the developing Peace Process. Their position would have been strongly left of centre. One aspect of their goal was to produce a publication which was different from the more conservative leaning publications issued in the US which were sympathetic to Irish republicanism.
