AT THE funeral for Thomas 'Kidso' Reilly, the latest victim of the army's 'shoot to kill' policy, Gerry Adams MP called for a new campaign of popular resistance to the army and RÜC which can augment the armed struggle.
In a speech to the 1500 mourners, Adams spelt out the tactics of the nationalist struggle. described the armed struggle of the IRA, and dealt briefly with the sporadic rioting that has affected nationalist areas throughout August.
He said that much of the rioting had been provoked by the army and, as much as he respected the spirit of resistance of young people involved, felt that things should be better organised. Stones or even petrol bombs', he said 'cannot penetrate armoured cars'.
The third kind of resistance which should now be promoted is one which every single person can be involved in. Although the details of such a campaign are yet to be spelt out, more than in a refusal to cooperate with the army of RUC, it is obvious this is the leading the nationalist movement.
The resumption of womens' patrols and street organisation can create a continual obstacle to the military occupation. A campaign to smash the Assembly which focuses on immediate goals such as ending the 'shoot to kill' policy and combatting the informers, could rekindle the County resistance that H-block/Armagh struggle.
It would also provide the best ammunition to break up the so-called All Ireland Forum, behind which the SDLP and bosses' parties of the South cooperate with British imperialism.
