Loyalist Volunteer Force
The Loyalist Volunteer Force (LVF) is a small Ulster loyalist paramilitary group in Northern Ireland. It was formed by Billy Wright in 1996 when he and his unit split from the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) after breaking its ceasefire. They had belonged to the UVF's Mid-Ulster Brigade and Wright had been the brigade's commander. In a two-year period from August 1996, the LVF waged a paramilitary campaign with the stated goal of combatting Irish republicanism. During this time it killed at least 14 people in gun and bomb attacks. Almost all of its victims were Catholic civilians who were killed at random. The LVF called off its campaign in August 1998 and decommissioned some of its weapons, but in the early 2000s a loyalist feud led to a number of killings. Since then, the LVF has been largely inactive, but its members are believed to have been involved in rioting and organized crime.
The LVF has been designated as a terrorist organization by the governments of the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland and the United States.〔(Terrorist Exclusion List ), US State Department〕
==Goals==
In a document, the LVF outlined its goals as follows:
*The use of the Ulster conflict as a crucible for far-reaching, fundamental and decisive change in the United Kingdom constitution.
*To restore Ulster's right to self-determination.
*To end Irish nationalist aggression against Ulster in whatever form.
*To end all forms of Irish interference in Ulster's internal affairs.
*To thwart the creation and/or implementation of any All-Ireland/All-Island political super-structure regardless of the powers vested in such institutions.
*To defeat the campaign of de-Britishisation and Gaelicaisation of Ulster's daily life.〔("Quis Separabit? Loyalist transformation and the strategic environment". Chapter Seven. ''Academia.edu''. Lindsey Harris. Papers by Lyndsey Harris. ). Retrieved 9 September 2011. Document is held in the Linen Hall Library, Belfast.〕
They also published a magazine called ''Leading the Way''.
