The unionist residents of North Belfast now, more than at any time since the early 70's, strongly believe that there is a nationalist strategy, engineered by Sinn Fein, to drive them out of North Belfast. This has been reinforced by organised street violence in areas such as Tigers Bay, Glenbryn, White City and Westland during the summer months. When we look at coloured "before and after" maps of North Belfast whole areas of land have changed their political colour from being predominantly unionist to being mixed and then to being predominantly nationalist.

Martin McGuinness has called on those who carried out or supported the type of actions that led to the death of David Caldwell to stop 'skulking' behind the names of anti-agreement republican bodies and stand up and be counted. Interestingly, however, he described those republicans who oppose the Good Friday Agreement but who do not support armed struggle as having 'quite a legitimate point of view'. On this point he would sound authentic if his own party would desist from picketing the homes of those who speak out against killings on our streets and would also refrain from despatching the thought police to the same homes in a bid to intimidate critics who call for public community inquiries into such killings.
