Sjevernoirski sukob

(Preusmjereno sa stranice The Troubles)

Sjevernoirski sukob[11][12][13][14][15] (irski: Na Trioblóidí; engl. Troubles, dosl. "Nevolje") je bio etničko-nacionalistički[16][17][18][19] sukob u Sjevernoj Irskoj tokom druge polovine 20. vijeka koji je s vremena na vrijeme zahvaćao i dijelove Republike Irske, Engleske i kopnene Evrope. Konflikt, ponekad opisivan gerilskim ratom odnosno sukobom niskog inteziteta,[20][21][22] započeo je kasnih 1960-ih i prema mišljenju mnogih okončan je Sporazumom iz Belfasta (ili Sporazum dobrog petka, engl. Good Friday Agreement) 1998. godine,[3][23][24][25][26] iako se sporadično nasilje nastavilo i kasnije.[3][25][27]

Uzroci sukoba bili su primarno političke naravi, s određenim etničkim ili sektaškim dimenzijama,[28] no nije se radilo o vjerskom sukobu.[16][29] Ključni razlog izbijanja konflikta bio je ustavni status Sjeverne Irske. Sukobljene strane dijele se na unioniste/lojaliste koji su pretežito protestanti i smatraju se Britancima, odnosno na nacionaliste/republikance koji su etnički Irci i katoličke vjeroispovjesti. Prva strana zalagala se za ostanak Sjeverne Irske u Ujedinjenom Kraljevstvu, a druga za separatizam i stvaranje Ujedinjene Irske (Republika Irska i Sjeverna Irska). Drugi bitan faktor sukoba bio je odnos dviju navedenih strana, jer se potonja smatrala diskriminiranom od strane unionističke vlade i njene policije.[30][31]

Glavne frakcije u sukobu bile su republikanske paravojske poput Privremene Irske republikanske armije (IRA), Irske nacionalne oslobodilačke armije (INLA), zatim lojalističke paravojske poput Ulsterskih dobrovoljačkih snaga (UVF) i Ulsterskog obrambenog saveza (UDA), te britanske državne snage sigurnosti tj. Britanska vojska i policija RUC. Manju ulogu igrale su i sigurosne snage Republike Irske. U sukobu je poginulo preko 3500 ljudi, od čega 52% civila, 32% članova britanskih sigurosnih snaga, te 16% članova paravojnih skupina.[6] Sveukupno, 60% žrtava ubili su republikanci, 30% lojalisti, a ostalih 10% snage sigurnosti.[32]

The central argument is that religion is an ethnic marker, but that it is not generally politically relevant in and of itself. Instead, ethnonationalism lies at the root of the conflict. Hayes and McAllister (1999a) point out that this represents something of an academic consensus.«
