in 1998 the good friday agreement was signed brokering a peace deal between republicans and unionists in northern ireland. nearly a decade later al-jazeera visited belfast to explore ongoing divisions in the city . the film you're about to see was 1st broadcast in 2007. there's not be a lot to laugh about in northern ireland over the last 40 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 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 wanted 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. for people. it with my community and i think of taking the publicans to the theater and you can achieve nothing ever said by people civil rights and human rights people are dying marched on the streets i'm a big and off the streets and then the british army come in. the catholics and i says here actually had no basic human rights the had no full rights the had all those rights taken away from the. box in 1998 all the political parties signed up to the good friday agreement breaking 3 decades of deadlock it established a power sharing assembly and paved the way for the withdrawal of british troops on the disbanding of a military group. after many false starts the assembly assumed its

full power in may 2007 the sworn enemies of yesterday unionist leader ian paisley and the republican leader martin mcguinness became 1st minister and deputy 1st minister. but what northern ireland 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 measure surgery ration in very large particularly the working class. kids going to school in different schools cultures scorning off orders from school it would just not make. a consequence of the moves in the segregation divisions were there before the war with iraq and the most kind

of trade interactor and the further segregation was continued from there so we're now in a situation where there's more straightly gratian after the. the peace process when there was truly conflict. segregation is a fact of life and of life and over 35 years of america people are going to get over that very very quickly or very easily. the 1st of the so-called peace lions began as the length of the bomb was rolled out by the british army to separate the warring communities in 1969. from then on they became more common and more complex today there are believed to be $41.00 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 protestant area. in 2002 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 been memories of what happened. there was. and the attacks on the small area of short straw and they spell fast and.

concentrated just at this particular spot because this was seen as. the wall was floor to time. as a seer will leave. the hole everyone. destroyed. our. students in both came true. both in. 2000 people were hurt i mean. covered up so every day it was very dark going. to not use. lives with her. place the side of the wall the protestant side i actually moved to endure in the troubles in 2000 today because. other people in

here had children. and. by the people next door. we need people to move in here that want to freed 11 here so i. and i moved in. she was at my head in the back and that was just and the allies over there. just said never mind your own business talking away to. the wall here between the 2 communities has become the focal point of this conflict this is not a spot between neighbors but the battle line of a war between 2 traditions 2 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 him tapped us their house. of insecurity they've had it for 400 years here they still feel that they need the wall to keep their foothold they have got away with getting their own way. 10 years from now. their government has give give give them all the time. time they want. our politicians have no choice but to go. with. the bitterness felt by the protestant majority. being compounded by the feeling that their own politicians have let them down because they tended to 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 moralist areas or staunchly 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 in a very short period of time. they were sitting side by side laughing and smiling. more 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 mindsets. with republican ministers ministry will train those for allegiance to british crown fortunes so ideologically i think republicans know what they're actually doing stop the war and what they have to do is not come to terms with. as

a member of the simply in west belfast she represents the main rip. a mural of. the 1st republican to die on hunger strike in. the gulf that still exists between her and her colleagues. and certainly i think. that they are taking this here. i still. hold as a socialist. but this is not the version of future events. subscribe to.

it is this absence of trust. the walls of belfast in place. protestants parade through the streets of belfast but this is no carnival bending on which side you're on the marching season is either celebration. of a creation. or the march is the victory of the protestant king william of the irish

catholics in 6090 years of the very core of their conviction. and will always remain part of the united kingdom. will prevail in this very much a way of life a cultural expression of oppression take down but especially from the problem community. that's a celebration of a battle which took place over 300 years ago with the boy. it's celebration expression of freedom expression of liberty expression fraternity. and something which is not on the label to american independence day to. the celebrations at the boston 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 war 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 a lot of strong as someone else 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 the only common out of a complex situation there are people here 11 and those areas that have been murdered by loyalist paramilitaries and i think that it's insulting for them to have to have to watch an orange tree have walked at a school bombers off loyalist paramilitaries francis you know it's it's very hard for us in the state to take us. on both sides of the process is ever present with the brits the battle of the boy more than 3 centuries ago. or 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. officially . towering palm. trees over the 66090.

8 symbols chiefly. told. you will see a visible sign. straight . from a foreign country. 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 asking us about 5 years ago by the locals i was. well into the peace process i think what they were trying to say was to let future generations know 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 the. people look at these faces young people young man young woman they asked the question why was it

a part danny divinia republican who honed his talent while serving time in the maze prison is now involved in the unlikeliest about to stick. these paired up with the son of one of northern ireland's best known protestant loyalist leaders. 2 men 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. salute that hand that were never done because that's when the impossible tamar 15 years ago just would not pay now and i would never consider the notion $10.00 or 15 years ago it's only been a lie possible to be a possible through the work that our people loved on the ground. as she carried on

through myself and the army which is an engagement that needs to happen at every level of society in my community the walls for you. it was all the through the censorship mostly with being with us she's the one else. would focus on. the images you see in our walls reflected the feeling. within our communities so we were too and we were vehicles for fear or anger or frustration is taking place within our force unfortunately in my community the murals were used. by like the front lines. that were used to mark territory by groups and organizations through a fair channel rated by the political leadership of the tank. i believe that my community must an opportunity we're here also concerned. now the 2 men are determined to use the mirror also 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 walls the virtual ones that have been erected over the decades. we might accidentally. but there's also many buyers and from the people holding people back and i thought can be programmed that my kids my carcass can meet up with people from mars to move them and their faith in the sea and i got a case and this was so inspired as was was was started before trying to change people's main sets because that's where the party or success than the making. but for both men optimism unrealism finely balanced we don't know hopefully even a small part of that we can add something to it's hope that will may or not that's what friends tried to force that really was a little. 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 fence just to. couple of miles from where we are now around to score between 2 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 an acceptable. 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 is still a long way off they wanted to straight and made it all get it but they reacted in the process. i am not going to justify anything else i love my country i love my culture a lot. it's just. the

way i would do their heads as a tell you i was there before you guys are but spatial for. nearly a decade after this film 1st 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 there was 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 like a strong. but a political work of danny and his nearest brethren have become world famous but some of the canvases are disappearing. in 2016 the 1st will began to come down here and the catholic republican area of our joint.

ministers have vowed that all the rules will be demolished by 2023. the demolition of the are doing will is a symbolic milestone. not all of its structure has actually come down yet. danny meets local residents to find out why they were here at the residence to feign see if we need to be at a certain spears when they themselves 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 put up. on the back of people's homes so what does sachs say i'm all what it was about the strength of that more people at them and i just don't face see a for that article. let's just get the stats were that one in particular to. the people. when the. 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. for the purpose of where they were for cheap. with those. you know a lot of people told the troubles well do you know when you work at your work look at. as much trouble as a profile that that's what he said protectionism in miller said between us but that really gives you protection. all the sectarianism still exists the government is now attempting to give the city and new image. encouraging artists like danny to find new subjects for them nero's. and then. they want to be put aside and he still collaborating with protestant nearest. see a strong. shall i. call them in the should have called it reinvention because

really. those communities like nothing ever really. you know. sort of sweep it on the carpet i don't enjoy talking about it. 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 whose community. distances. today that painting from northern ireland's next generation. i think it's our form was surely to be part of the solution we use and tell us for the most part 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 of.

the centuries it was the remote this of brazil's indigenous communities the protected them from the rapacious outside world now is what shields those who are encroaching on protected indigenous territory starting fires and threatening the residents of the county when i had the 1st contact with the outside world in 1978 and going to catch a good talking head native language translated for us into portuguese remembers it well she says they brought diseases that decimated her community but that me a couple years we had a lot of land and we lived peacefully now we live with fear that are very few of us the invaders are coming closer it's difficult of us to gauge why a place so remote so tranquil should not is so munch to the rest of the walls

indigenous people who live here have always realized this but now as the smoke fills the skies and the ashes pollute the river the rest of the world is beginning to realise it too. a policy imposed decades ago pregnant woman part that she put selectively goods and had a boy is changing demographics across asia with far reaching consequences for creating a poor socially disadvantaged young man so you have the system where people at every level will be get being given money money to agree to searles ation our money to get other people to be the services out there examines the politics of population control. man mine is on trial from rape to genocide the government stands accused of committing atrocities against their own injured people one on one east investigates on al-jazeera.

a diverse range of stories from across the globe and from the perspective of our networks journalists on al-jazeera. the battle continues but the data suggests that they should what we have passed the peak or new cases president trump insists many u.s. cities will reopen soon despite a record 2000 more americans dying from coronavirus in the last 25 years. a watching al jazeera live from doha with me fully back also ahead. this is going to come in waves and it's getting more virulent mormon.
