Robbery, smuggling, counterfeiting, and other criminal activities

Following the OIRA ceasefire, the majority of its members would join the group's political wing, the Workers' Party, and largely cease to engage in violence. However, remnants remained active. Today, group members conduct mostly organized criminal activities as well as internecine attacks against the Official Republican Movement (ORM), which was established in 1996 by former members of the OIRA.  The loss of operatives and the resulting feud between the two groups has substantially weakened the ORIA's capabilities.  Even though the OIRA has never decommissioned its arsenal as part of the peace process, it is unlikely that they will reemerge as a legitimate threat to stability in Northern Ireland.

In June 2004, sources reported that the ONLF was discontinuing its violent campaign in the Ogaden. However, attacks on Ethiopian government troops continued. Efforts at peace failed again in July 2005, and in May 2006 the ONLF joined several political parties to form the Alliance for Freedom and Democracy (AFD), a coalition seeking to address the conflict in the Ogaden region through consultations with the Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF), Ethiopia's ruling party. The EPRDF has yet to respond to the overtures of the AFD, and until substantive talks occur, the ONLF-led insurgency is expected to continue.

The Oklahoma Constitutional Militia was a small, anti-government, anti-Semitic group whose only planned attack was foiled by an FBI informer.  They believed that the New World Order existed and posed a direct and immediate threat to them.   Militia leader Willie Ray Lampley expected Russia to invade the United States through Mexico during his lifetime, and he encouraged his followers to stockpile supplies and arms in preparation for the invasion.  The Militia's members were all followers of the racist teachings of Christian Identity, and the group was also known as the Universal Church of God.  Lampley visited Elohim City, a compound at which the leaders of American white supremacy networked and discussed their shared beliefs.<br /><p>The militia formed in 1994, when Lampley and Larry Wayne Crow met and forged a friendship based on their shared religious views.  The two soon began to attend militia meetings, and published religious pamphlets.  Lampley believed he was a prophet, and Crow, who testified for the prosecution at Lampley's trial, claims that Lampley thought it was his duty to act on God's alleged condemnation of supposedly sinful people such as homosexuals, abortion doctors, and civil rights activists.
