Peace If Possible, Truth At All Costs

“Londonderry west bank loyalists” are “still under siege”, at first from two decades of “Republican violence” – “Between 1971 and 1991 the Protestant population of the Cityside declined by 83.4% as a result of Republican violence (Shirlow et al. 2005)” – hence the boarded- and dressed-up windows – and now from the “PSNI”.

(The words “as a result of Republican violence” are not included in the Shirlow article).

Fountain Street and Hawkin Street, in the Fountain, Londonderry.

Update: the wall was returned to its plain appearance by 2023-02-14 – see the final image, below

    Does NI100 refer to the partition of the island in 1921?

      Yes – this is ‘centenary’ version of the ‘still under siege’ wall!
