As if by magic Aaron Edwards, a British SME on Northern Ireland has an article 'The Fragility of the Good Friday Peace: The Persistence of Terrorism in Northern Ireland' in CTC's 'The Sentinel' and he starts his conclusion with:
The murder of a journalist on the night before Good Friday in 2019 was a reminder of the fragility of peace in Northern Ireland. On the surface, the persistence of terrorism in Northern Ireland is indicative of centuries-old grievances that have remained remarkably unchanged. At its heart is a competition between the British state and its militant Republican adversaries who violently oppose the continuing presence of British governing institutions in Ireland. Yet, it is also ground contested by loyalist paramilitaries who wish to maintain the status quo.
