"Red flags have been raised to brexit can get the violence to bubble up to the surface in the former conflict-affected northern Ireland. After the unrest in the city of Londonderry, where a journalist lost their lives, wondering what will happen next."

"the Troubles in northern Ireland that lasted for over 30 years led to the bloody deed, which cost thousands of lives. But all did not agree with the peace treaty finally concluded in 1998."

"After Thursday's riot in the city of Londonderry suspect the police New IRA, a splinter group from the Irish republican army (IRA) was behind a large number of atrocities during Northern ireland's violent period."

"– There are those who have not wanted to accept the peace agreement and that remain in the old beliefs about what you should accomplish. At the same time, large sections of society has moved on. I was in northern Ireland for the first time in 1996 and it is a huge difference now from how it was then, " says Lena Karlsson, who is the editor at the institute of Foreign affairs and monitors developments in the Uk and Ireland."

" According to police stats indicate the last year that the violence from these groups has decreased, but it is difficult to say what it really means, she says."
