A Northern Ireland court has authorized a Protestant parade to pass through a disputed route in a Catholic area, marking the first time in nearly 30 years, France 24 reported Sunday morning.
This judicial decision, issued overnight from Saturday to Sunday, ends a long-standing dispute surrounding the Drumcree parade dating back to the mid-1990s. At that time, tensions related to this route had led to riots, roadblocks, and killings, threatening the peace process in Northern Ireland.
Since the announcement, counter-protests have begun, and police have been deployed to maintain separation between marchers and protesters to prevent any outbreaks, Hervé Amoric reported from Portadown.
