.		A new arena of struggle Sinn Féin has begun its participation in the new Six County Assembly. The party has emphasised that it has come to the Assembly positively and constructively and will view this institution and the new Executive as transitional and as arenas of struggle - among many arenas of struggle - in which republican objectives will be pursued. Attempts are being made to prevent Sinn Féin participation in the Executive. The decomissioning issue has been resurrected as a precondition to Sinn Féín involvement. That cannot be allowed to succeed. Every party which negotiated the Agreement did so with their eyes open and they must now implement it in good faith. It cannot now be rewritten. Moreover, this is not a decommissioning process; it is about conflict resolution. The aim must be to remove the causes of conflict, particularly those which produce inequality and injustice and which deny freedom.
