Who are dissident republicans?

The term "dissident republicans" describes a range of individuals who do not accept the Good Friday Agreement - the 1998 peace deal which ended the worst of the Troubles in Northern Ireland.

持不同政见的共和党人 "一词描述了一系列不接受 "耶稣受难日协议 "的人--1998年的和平协议结束了北爱尔兰最严重的动乱。

这些团体的规模比临时爱尔兰共和军小得多，尽管他们可以获得大口径武器，并在袭击和企图袭击中使用简易爆炸装置和迫击炮。
