News Northern Irish march in solidarity with Korea peace walkActivist unable to come to Korea for peace march organizes supporting event in Derry
A few hours after the historic DMZ crossing in Korea, a group of Northern Irish activists made a symbolic walk in solidarity through a city once notorious for its divisions. Derry (or Londonderry depending on the affiliations of its mixed Catholic-Protestant population) is bisected by the River Foyle. A 235-meter self-anchored suspension bridge spans the river, opened on June 25, 2011 by Northern Ireland’s Protestant First Minister Peter Robinson and Catholic Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness together with Enda Kenny, Taoiseach (prime minister) of the southern Republic. Known as the Peace Bridge, it links the predominantly Protestant (Unionist) Waterside and © Korea Risk Group. All rights reserved. |
