  • Two former Troubles prisoners - one republican and one loyalist - are working together in a cross-community reconciliation programme at a former interface in Belfast.

The article from MSN discusses an initiative in Belfast where former prisoners from both sides of the Northern Ireland conflict are collaborating to dismantle a peace wall, symbolizing a move towards reconciliation and community integration. This project, located at a former peace wall site, involves ex-prisoners working together to not only physically remove barriers but also to foster dialogue and understanding among communities long divided by sectarian violence. The effort is part of broader peace-building activities aimed at addressing the legacy of the Troubles, promoting healing, and encouraging a shared future. The participants share their experiences and the importance of such initiatives in breaking down both physical and psychological barriers, highlighting the transformative power of community-led peace efforts.
