there's not be a lot to laugh about in northern ireland over the last forty years the old mantra for god and our stuff has a new twist these days the fact that it's now possible to make a joke about it is a sign of the changing times in northern ireland. and yet in many respects belfast the capital of northern ireland remains a divided city the physical evidence is there for all to see. the modern history of northern ireland has been dominated by one thing the troubles . and bitter conflict both political and religious between those

claiming to represent the predominantly catholic nationalist of those claiming to represent the mainly protestant unionists. broadly speaking the nationalist more so-called republicans want northern ireland to be unified with the republic of ireland while the unionists wanted to remain part of the united kingdom along with england wales and scotland. i think it was possible. people who thought of my community. i think of taking the publicans to the theater deep in chief nothing ever said by people civil rights and human rights people were dying marched on the streets i'm a beating off the streets and then the british army came in. the catholics and isis here actually had no basic human rights the had no for the rights they had all those rights taken away from. us in nineteen ninety eight

all the political parties signed up to the good friday agreement breaking three decades of deadlock it established a power sharing assembly and paved the way for the withdrawal of british troops on the disbanding of paramilitary groups. after many false starts the assembly assumed its full power in may two thousand and seven the sworn enemies of yesterday unionist leader ian paisley and the republican leader martin mcguinness became first minister and deputy first minister. has now is not so much peace as an absence of conflict far from disappearing the walls have grown instead of reconciliation there is partition and all tempered stalemate of separate identities and separated lives there is huge mess and surgery

in very large particularly the working. kids going to school in different schools structures cooling off orders from schools where it would just not mix. consequence of the moves in the wars the segregation divisions were there before the war and the kind of trade interaction and for the circulation which continued from there so we're now in a situation where there's more. thirteen years of the peace process when there was truly a conflict. segregation a fact of life of life another thirty five years of trouble a mother a people aren't going to get over the very very quickly or very easily. the first of the so-called peace lines began the bomb was rolled out by the british army to

separate the warring communities in one thousand nine hundred sixty nine. from then on they became more common and more complex today there are believed to be forty one deliberate barriers across belfast we estimate that about half of all the parents have either been there and you will have been explained. in some way. most notorious burial was the one between the warring communities of protestant shanksville and catholic falls road the flash point of recent years has been the wall that separates the short straw and isolated catholic enclave in east belfast from the surrounding area. in two thousand and two it was the scene of the worst

riots in the city since the start of the peace process. a catholic lives with his family in the shadow of the short strands war and has memories of what happened. there was wade spread. and the attacks on the small area of short straw. and. some of. the causes. as a formal spot on the wall was floor to ten. hours a seer will leave. the old everyone the. doors were destroyed. a few of our. students in both. in. two thousand people were hurt. covered up. everything was very

dark going. to not just me. but lives with her. place the other side of the wall the protestant side i actually moved in here in the troubles in two thousand today because. other people in here had children. and they were paid by the people next door and we needed people to move in here that want to freed eleven here so i. and i moved in. she was at the head with a brick and it was just and the allies over there. said their manual. talk on the radio h m m's. this is. the wall here between the two communities has become the focal point of this conflict this is not

a spot between neighbors but the battle line of a war between two traditions two denominations where os them mentality still exists they nearly killed us. what can we do the police don't stand up for us and we did sam for people obey commands they attack them back they went home and now. they have to be shown that we are not by ourselves that other people are there ready to command empty. they have a sense of insecurity they've had it for four hundred years here they still feel that they need the wall to keep their foothold they have got away with getting their own way. ten years from now. and the government has give give give them all the time. they want to squash our

culture our politicians have no choice but to go. with. the bitterness felt by the protestant majority. the feeling that their own politicians have let them. be tribal leaders rather than statesman above the their own communities and they defended their own communities interests as opposed to looking at the broader needs of the wider community is. the difficulty and as with and from your list areas or sponsor the republican areas. they feel a sense of betrayal because their politicians said that they would never share with republicans for example. and all of a sudden. they were sitting side by side in this modern. politics. a lot of our news here that is

a step backwards. even today politicians in the new northern ireland assembly still look asian we seem locked into their old mindset. with republican ministers ministry. training those police to british crown forces so ideologically i think republicans know what their war and what they have to do is now come to terms with all. of this simply in west belfast. she represents the main republican party. the first republican to. still exists between her and her colleagues. but they are.

subscribed to. it is this absence of trust.

grade through the streets of belfast this is no. bending on which side you're on the marching season celebration. of the creation. or the marches the victory of the king william of the irish catholics in sixty nine was a very cold. for their conviction that they are and will always remain part of the united kingdom. is very much a way of life a cultural expression of a partially done but especially from the problem community but it's a celebration of a battle which took over three hundred years ago with the boy. it's celebration expression of freedom expression of liberty expression for target. and something

which is not on the label to american independence day to. the celebration of the boss t. and france to the celebrations which we have and see and many other countries where people celebrate their liberty. for staunchly warless people know this i'm a libertarian about were against the catholic church basically it's part of their cultural identity. for the wider unionist community i think it is. a symbol of the right down to bring not as strong as some more of us made them it's a very. hot from a catholic perspective the drums and triumphalist gestures calculated to keep all wounds open. you have to understand where we're really coming out of a complex situation there are people here eleven and those areas that have been murdered by loyalist paramilitaries and i think that it's insulting for them to

have have to watch you know i walked i met a school bombers off loyalist paramilitaries and since you know it's it's very hard for us on the street to take us. on both sides the pos is ever present with the brits the battle of the boy and more than three centuries ago. a riot within the last decade for those on the front line time has not been a healer here a conflict as merely found album means of expression. six

hundred sixty. eight symbols.

street. the symbolism doesn't always take the form of flag waving some of the writing on the would have divided. have been raised beyond propaganda to an art form with its roots in another country. conflict i was offered us about five years ago by the locals i was. well into the peace process they were trying to say was

future generations the individual the characters because i remember. funerals of palestinian young people killed in the west bank and at the funerals of a carry pictures of these people and i thought i would like to know who that person is what they represent why did they do this such a young life being taken and i think it's also transmitted into these. people look at these faces young people young man young woman they asked the question why. danny divinia republican who honed his talent while serving time in the maze prison is now involved in the unlikeliest of. these paired up with the son of one of northern ireland's best known protestant loyalist leaders. who in the past chronicled the troubles each on his own side of the walls come together to bring a new message to the city in a northern ireland where separation is generally become more entrenched since the

end of hostilities it's a remarkable act of collaboration and. never done because that's when the pain possible tamar fifteen years ago just. i would never considered the notion ten or fifteen years it's only possible to be me a possible through the work people of the on the ground. as carried on through myself and on me which is an engagement that needs to happen at every level of society. in my community the walls were used themselves through the censorship what was the deal with being with a she's the one else. would focus on. the images you see on our walls reflected the feeling. within our communities so we were too and we were vehicles for fear or anger or frustration was taking place within our unfortunately community the murals were used. different signs. that were used to mark

territory by groups and organisations sharifi or china rated by the political leadership of the tank. i believe that my community must an opportunity we're here also concerned. now the two men are determined to use the murals as a force for unity rather than division. mark and danny's hope is that their own writings on the wall may dismantle those of the wars the virtual ones that have been erected over the decades. we've got x. amount left in the social many buyers and from the people holding people back and it's those can be programmed to my kids my car kids can meet up with people from mars community and their fame to see if i got sick a chemist was so inspired is worthwhile start before trying to change people's main sets because that's where the party or success than the making will. but for both

men optimism unrealism finely balanced we don't know hopefully even a small part of the we can add something to it it's the hope that will may or not boss or friends try to strike that only works at all. but whatever progress may be made at this individual level some parts in the communities are still bent on division and the moment there's a decision waiting to be implemented to him to build a. it's just a couple of miles from where we are now around to score between two communities we need to get to a situation where there's no more barrier is being built and not only that the idea of building the barrier is considered to be unacceptable. the lesson of northern ireland is the dismantling a wall is far harder than erecting it wars are indicative not just of division

but of mistrust in belfast the day the walls come down it's still a long way off they wanted to straight and made it all get a day reacted in the process. i am not going to justify anything else i love my country i love my culture a lot. just. the way i would do their heads as a toyota stood before my eyes or what spatial for. nearly a decade after this film first ad we returned to belfast to catch up with danny devaney he's still painting the city's walls so what is your focus on a shop so that's right across the arts no no toilets space where the are.

you maybe having a look over a chair laying towards a solo artist is a problem see a projection in light of the straw. that the political work of danny and his nearest brethren have become world famous but some of their canvases are disappearing. in twenty sixteen the first will began to come down here and the catholic republican area of our joint. ministers have vowed that all the rules would be demolished by twenty twenty three. the demolition of the are doing wall is a sim. milestone but not all of its structure has actually come down yet. danny meets local residents to find out why they were there at the residence to feign see if we need to be in a certain spirits when they themselves have made secure because they're the ones you know but if you look further down the road you'll say another part of the wall that was played up that's on the back of people's homes so what is sexy i'm all what it was about this strive to do that more people at the minute just don't face

c.f. up there to come to and. let's just go to states were that one particular tame someone came in and. the people want to. help it when the time was right. join is an area historically notorious for violence. fear that these conflicts may continue to flare up today leads many to seek protection behind the law. but some residents believe that barry is not the solution to today's trouble. but the purpose of where they were first cheap trade by shootings and things of the shop with those. you know a lot of people told me it's like the troubles will do you know when you work at your work look at the. most trouble is the profound the small things will be a god nobody will also types in the manual or say the bitterness but they really get you to tyson. all the sectarianism still exists the government is now attempting to give the city

a new image. encouraging artists like danny to find new subjects for them nero's. and then fight quickly understood what they were saying. they want to be put aside and he still collaborating with protestant nearest fine see always a strong. shall go rather than call not really the should have called it reinvention because really. they're trying to reinvent those communities like nothing ever really hop on here you know and as tommy says sort of sweep it on the carpet i don't enjoy talking about it on understand why it's there. as well as remembering the struggles of the past danny believes murals should reflect the community's aspirations for a peaceful future. if the murals are changed it is because the main set of the people and his community the students. today that painting for northern ireland's

next generation. i think it's our foremost city to be part of the solution we use and talents for us what they are to try and say it's our kids who will struggle and politics can solve when they come to us all through dialogue why choose another route. not peace here in munich it's going to give one good kind of i still in afghanistan for some taliban fighters a new call to arms for taliban leaders a threat to their authority and it was shocked to see the also chose to stave off without any such call karma as thought they were old enough to let us unprecedented access i still and the taliban at this time on al jazeera. we're here

to jerusalem bureau cover israeli palestinian affairs we cover the story with a lot of internet we covered it with that we don't dip in and out of this story we have a presence here all the time apart from being a cameraman it's also very important to give journalist to know the story very well before going into the fields covering the united nations and all of the onus for al-jazeera english is pretty incredible this is where talks happen and what happens there matters. i am doing this for the benefit of saddam people. so bad to see being polled and all the outcry. witness documentaries that open your eyes. at this time on al-jazeera.
