The Economist compares OLF with IRA

4 04 2008

In its latest edition, The Economist says the OLF “will go on fund-raising among their supporters in America, just as the Irish Republican Army once did..” It is interesting that The Economist brings IRA at the time Hillary Clinton is in the hot seat for carelessly claiming taking a role in the Irish Peace Pact her husband helped bring. What makes the OLF’s and IRA’s story similar? Well here is the history of IRA and here is OLF’s mission.

Now my question is, would America help bring CHANGE in the African Horn just like it did in the 90’s with Northern Ireland?
