Five straight nights of riots in parts of Northern Ireland have sent shockwaves through the region
Fifteen officers were injured in Belfast, while 12 officers were hurt in Derry after being targeted by mainly young people.Children as young as 13 have been arrested amid the chaos this week.A video posted on Twitter by the Police Federation for Northern Ireland showed four masked individuals flinging petrol bombs from close range at an armoured police van, which they also kicked and punched.
In Londonderry on the same night, the injuries included burns, head wounds and a broken leg, resulting in the arrest and charging of seven people, two of them as young as 13 and 14. Twelve officers were also injured in the fifth straight night of rioting there. Derry City and Strabane Area Commander Chief Superintendent Darrin Jones said police received reports on Friday night of youths gathering in the areas of Nelson Drive and Tullyally in the city.There are fears that unrest could stretch into a sixth night
There remain deep splits in the British-run region, 23 years after a peace deal largely ended three decades of bloodshed.Catholic nationalists aspire to unification with Ireland while Protestant unionists want to stay in the UK.
Uvf Uda uff are morons who voted for brexit
ay, no pub passports
EU were constantly whining about the UK breaking the Good Friday agreement and ending peace in NI. Seems their insistence on isolating NI from the UK has caused more problems.....we could have told them that would have happened, they (including Eire) didn’t or wouldn’t listen
We should dump the NI protocol and the fishing deal and move towards the global trade
It's what the Brexit halfwits voted for isn't it?
