The first commemoration of the 1916 Easter Rising was held in Dublin as early as in 1917. Many Irish Republicans were still in jail a year after fighting along their now executed leaders and the city was full of British troops. Almost 100 years later in Northern Ireland, that part of the island which remained to be part of the United Kingdom, irish republicans remember the martyrs of the "unfinished revolution". In the early 1990s mainstream republicans in Sinn Fein and their armed wing the Provisional IRA gave up the armed resistance turning fully towards politics. While the peace process remains intact, small nationalist communities such as Ardoyne in North Belfast, feel neglected with trouble still flaring up every few months resulting in heavy police presence all through he year. It's here where breakaway groups, labeled dissident republicans by the media, are most active. They are holding their own commemorations every easter, believing that the mistake their former comrades made was to engage in a flawed negotiation process. In their view, there can be no negotiations until the British agree to leave Ireland. Until such time, they insist that the people of Ireland have every right to engage in armed struggle.
