The parades commission of Northern Ireland approved a contentious permit for protestant Orangemen to march through a Catholic neighborhood for the first time in 28 years.
Parades were stopped in this area after prior marches resulted in bloodshed including the murder of 3 young children by protestant arsonists.
Hundreds of protesters have now blocked the road for 2 days preventing the parade. Former IRA army council member Gerry Adams was present, as well as first minister Michelle O'neil. The orangemen have been confined to their lodge for the time being.
There is serious concern for violence if the march peoceeds, and the actions of parties on both sides is likely to take down the Northern Irish executive and lead to direct rule from London.
