LONDON (HRNW) – Concerns are rising over the long-term prospect of peace in Northern Ireland following days of violence in the British province, with deep-seated grievances combining with new Brexit rules in a toxic cocktail.
With more violence expected, what are the main issues fuelling the unrest and will peace ultimately endure?
The unrest is mainly emanating from the unionists — who believe that Northern Ireland should remain part of the United Kingdom — with police warning that paramilitary groups within the community could be stoking and coordinating violence.
Nationalists, who believe the province should be part of the Irish Republic, responded to the violence on Wednesday and the two groups attacked each other with petrol bombs and missiles.
