Brexit stakes are high in Northern Ireland's border city of Londonderry
LONDONDERRY - Just a few kilometers from the border with Ireland, the people of Northern Ireland’s second city of Londonderry know exactly what is at stake as Britain seeks to seal its departure from the European Union.
When agreeing the deal, EU Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier said that peace was what really mattered. “Now... young people are facing the same challenges and what you would be worried about is all the arguments presented over many years to support the peaceful approach and reject violence, all those arguments now will be lost and the people who want to support violence can attempt to justify their approach.
