UDA


UDA/UFF mural, lower Newtownards Road.
Although the war is over and we have a powersharing government and we are supposed to be a 'normal' society now, Northern Ireland is still plagued by the existence of illegal paramilitary organisations. Yesterday the government announced that if the UDA failed to commence decommissioning within 60 days, funding to the Conflict Transformation Initiative would be withdrawn.

I guess they are - wouldn't it be great if the world was free of these groups?
