London rife with political conflict
Protestants want Major to resign over IRA contacts
The Associated Press
LONDON — The British government won praise and encouragement in the House of Commons Monday as it defended its secret contacts with the Irish Republican Army.
Only Protestant lawmakers from Northern Ireland criticized the government; others across the political spectrum supported the peace initiatives.
"We shall keep exploring the opportunities for peace," said Sir Patrick Mayhew, the Cabinet official who represents Northern Ireland.
Gerry Adams, leader of the political party Sinn Fein, which supports the Irish Republican Army's campaign to end British rule in the province, said he expected contacts to continue, although he accused the British government of lying and inventing excuses for not negotiating.
The London Observer exposed the secret contacts, embarrassing Mayhew and Prime Minister John Major who both had strongly denied that any talks were taking place.
Protestants in Northern Ireland that a British deal with the IRA could eventually end the province's union with Britain and make it a minority in a reunited Ireland dominated by Roman Catholics. After the Observer's article, some Protestant lawmakers called for Mayhew's and Major's resignations.
"There is no question of resigning by reason of any efforts that I or the prime minister have made to secure, by proper means, peace in Northern Ireland," Mayhew said, drawing cheers from his Conservative Party colleagues.
He released copies of the government's communications with the IRA and its allies. Though these did not resolve all the differences between Mayhew and Adams, they did show that Britain had insisted throughout the talks that the IRA cease its use of violence.
Contrary to its public demands for a permanent cease-fire, the government accepted a two-week halt in the IRA campaign in May as the price for talking.
IRA supporters told a different story. Britain got cold feet after the IRA agreed to a two-week cease-fire in May in response to a British offer of intensive talks, they said.
Peace deal would lift U.N. sanctions
The Associated Press
GENEVA — European peacemakers offered yesterday to gradually lift sanctions to entice Yugoslavia to help end the war in breakaway Bosnia. But Yugoslav strongman Slobodan Milosevic demanded a quick end to the crippling sanctions before Yugoslavia would enter such a bargain.
The European Community peace deal was proposed at the first meeting of Bosnia's warring Muslims, Serbs and Croats since talks collapsed in September. The EC hopes to forge a
peace accord for Bosnia and negotiate an end to ethnic disputes in Croatia, an other former Yugoslav republic.
The proposal marks the latest European effort to try to halt 19 months of war in Bosnia. More than 200,000 people have died, and more than 2 million have lost their homes since Serbs took up arms against Muslims and Croats who voted to secede from Serb-dominated Yugoslavia.
The plan proposes to ease U.N. trade sanctions if Serbia can persuade Bosnian Serbs to relinquish 3
percent to 4 percent of their territorial gains in Bosnia. The sanctions, imposed in May 1992 to punish Yugoslavia for inciting Bosnian Serbs to war, have devastated its economy.
The EC would not agree to finally lift all sanctions until a peace plan is implemented settling ethnic disputes across the former Yugoslavia. Fighting also continues at a much lower level between ethnic Serbs and Croats in Croatia, where a shaky truce has been in effect since January 1992.
In Washington, White House representative Dee Dee Myers said the administration has not waived from its demand that the Serbs give more ground.
"Our position always has been that the Serbs know what they need to do to get the sanctions lifted, and we've urged them to make additional territorial concessions to the Bosnian Muslims," she told reporters.
Talks among the warring sides were to continue this week, led by Lord Owen and Thorvald Stoltenberg, the EC and U.N. mediators.
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa
Black and white groups seeking autonomy in apart-apartheid South Africa ended a meeting with the government today still undecided about whether to take part in April 27 elections.
Parties to consider boycott of election to seek autonomy
On Sunday, the Zulu-based Inkatha Freedom Party — one of the main Freedom Alliance parties — set several conditions for its participation. But an Inkatha official indicated today that the group would participate in the election.
Opposition to the ANC and the government prompted Inkatha and right-wing white groups to form the Freedom Alliance several months ago. But Inkatha is reluctant to be portrayed as an ally of pro-

apartheid groups and has sought to win Black support by stepping up demands for a Zulu homeland. Inkata fears the elections will lead to an ANC-
dominated central government that would ignore Inkatha's demands and destroy the Zulu culture. Strong regional governments would give Inkatha a power base in eastern Natal province, where most Zulus live.
CAIRO, Egypt PLO: Israel stalling on peace
Israel is stalling talks on implementing its peace accord with the PLO to put pressure on Palestinian negotiators, the chief Palestinian delegate charged Monday.
Nabil Shaath told reporters that Israeli negotiators may not meet a Dec. 13 deadline for Israeli troops to begin pulling out of the Gaza Strip and
Jericho on the West Bank.
The date was set at the Sept. 13 peace accord which would have Israel give the two areas to Palestinian control as a test for a full peace later.
Shaath and other Palestinians say the deadline is important so the negotiations won't be overwhelmed by violence in the areas and to avoid delays in Israel's peace talks with Syria, Jordan and Lebanon.
israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin said his government was working toward the deadline, but it was more important to come up with a good plan than be tied to a specific date.
