Europe 2019 (Pt. 73) - Black Cab Tour of the Troubles in Belfast, Northern Ireland (UK)
August 14, 2019 - The Troubles is putting it lightly. This low-level war was waged from 1969 to 1998 between the Irish Republican Army and the United Kingdom, and Belfast was ground zero. The Troubles stemmed from many causes, but one large one was the British colonization of Northern Ireland (thus making it part of the UK), and the Irish resistance to this, for a unified nation on the Isle of Ireland.
Much is made of the Troubles being a war between the Catholics and Protestants, but this is not the case; it just so happened to be that most from the United Kingdom were Protestant, whereas most of the Irish were Catholic.
Over 20 years have passed, and even though it's not nearly as heated as it once was, with clashes and bombings and the like, there is still tension in the air, particularly in the districts of town where you can find the ever-changing murals, the Peace Wall, the Clonard Martyrs Memorial Garden, Sinn Féin office, and the gates between the Catholic and Protestant neighbourhoods of Belfast, JUST IN CASE.

N. Ireland - Giant's Causeway & Black Taxi Tour in Belfast
Each time I travel a theme appears out of the experience in new and insightful ways that I never expected. Taking a day tour to Giant's Causeway and Belfast in Northern Ireland, United Kingdom was an amazing experience. I really learned a lot about conflict resolution and brought some new thoughts home to my life and legal practice. Travel broadens your mind, helps with creative problem solving, and makes you a better person in so many ways!
Great story teller version of Giant's Causeway!

Belfast, Northern Ireland: A Black Cab Tour of Falls Road
More info about travel to Belfast: A cab is the best way to tour Belfast's sectarian neighborhoods and their gripping political murals. Just west of downtown, Falls Road (Catholic) and the Shankhill Road (Protestant) are two well-known areas. And your ride can come with an education; for a reasonable hourly fee, many cabbies give visitors impromptu tours that will give you insights into the Troubles, a conflict that is thankfully much less volatile than it has been in the past.

Belfast 'Black Taxi' Tour.
Yes the rocket is red. Any visit to Belfast must include a trip of the historic regions of the city. After this 12 km trip...I walked it to capture the real feel of the city and see more murals. Took all day - but a drink at every pub kept me going. A great day!
Black Taxis - Full Documentary
Brendan, Gerald and Tom are former volunteers of the Irish Republican Army. For them, and for all Irish republicans, the time of the armed struggle is now over.
- But how to live in peace after thirty years of war and sacrificed life?
- How then rebuild his life that under the company, it remains a criminal?
- And how to accept that peace does not look like victory?
Today they are drivers of Black Taxi
Republicans in the ghettos of Belfast.
Black Taxis are one of the strongest symbols of resistance. They were created at the beginning of the war, when the British government decided to suspend the bus service which served these neighborhoods.
In Belfast, the buses were driven by Protestants, who refused to risk their lives in these republican areas. The people were so organized, they bought old taxis to make their transit.
These taxis are still today their privileged transportation, 7/7, from morning to night, plying the same route.
Riding a Black Taxi is one of the few possible jobs for former prisoners. Moreover,
this Community transport system was also created in order to give them work.
These trips represent confinement and lack of horizon of a generation that has spent the first half of his life in war, in combat or in prison.
This film shows the loneliness, the loneliness of a day of war and the passing history and

Les Black Taxis dans les ghettos républicains de Belfast
Ce film montre la solitude, la solitude d’un lendemain de guerre et de l’histoire qui passe et qui laisse les hommes seuls, avec leurs souvenirs.
Brendan , Gerald et Tom sont d’anciens volontaires de l’Armée Républicaine Irlandaise. Pour eux, et pour tous les républicains irlandais, le temps de la lutte armée est désormais révolu.
- Mais comment vivre en paix après trente années de guerre et de vie sacrifiée ?
- Comment reconstruire sa vie alors qu’au regard de la société, on demeure un criminel ?
- Et comment accepter que la paix ne ressemble pas à la victoire ?
Ils sont aujourd’hui chauffeurs de « Black Taxi »
dans les ghettos républicains de Belfast.
Les Black Taxis sont l’un des symboles les plus forts de la résistance. Ils ont été créés au début de la guerre, quand le gouvernement britannique a décidé de suspendre le service de bus qui desservait ces quartiers.
A Belfast, les bus étaient conduits par des protestants, qui refusaient d’aller risquer leur vie dans ces zones républicaines. Les habitants se sont donc organisés, ils ont acheté de vieux taxis pour en faire leur transport en commun.
Ces taxis collectifs demeurent aujourd’hui encore, leur transport privilégié, 7J/7, du matin au soir, sillonnant un même parcours.
Conduire un Black Taxi est l’un des rares emplois possibles pour les anciens prisonniers. D’ailleurs, ce système communautaire de transport a été créé aussi dans le but de leur donner du travail.
Ces trajets représentent l’enfermement et l’absence d’horizon de toute une génération qui a passé la première moitié de sa vie en guerre, au combat ou en prison.

This is just a short tour in the major attractions of Belfast, we just took few videos during the trip, hence.
N. Ireland Day 5: Streets of Belfast
Thought it would be a good idea to search for the famous Belfast murals that speak more than words about the political climate in Northern Ireland. The murals are symbols of the past and present, so the streets still stand divided. The violence may have stopped, but the emotions that have driven The Troubles are very much alive. Peace has been made, but walls still stand. I found most of the nationalist murals (pro-Ireland), depicting political prisoners, heroes who've died fighting for their cause, and global icons of a campaign against oppression. For them, there are no calls for peace if peace means giving up. On the unionist side (pro-England), murals depict peace, and a call for cooperation. To this day, Northern Ireland belongs to the U.K.
Belfast City Council want 66,000 more people living in the city centre by 2035 - BBC News NI
Belfast City Council wants to have 66,000 more people living in the city centre by 2035.
That will mean building about 30,000 new homes.
Across the UK and Europe city centres are prime real estate, yet only about 3,000 people live in Belfast city centre.
Historically people have not been encouraged to live in the city centre but that attitude is changing.
