Roman Catholic protesters in Northern Ireland have clashed with police as they tried to block a parade through Belfast by Protestant Orangemen.
Several people were reportedly injured, including leading Sinn Fein member Gerry Kelly.
Earlier, police had overruled objections by residents in the predominantly Catholic area of Belfast and allowed the parade to go ahead.
It was a sit-down protest that sparked the clashes between Republican Roman Catholics and the police Friday.
The protesters started assembling at the junction of Cliftonville Road and Antrim Road in north Belfast several hours before the planned march by Protestant Orangemen.
But their plans to disrupt the march were scotched by riot police who moved in on the protesters and forcibly removed them.
Many demonstrators were arrested and a number were reportedly injured, including leading Sinn Fein member Gerry Kelly.
Around 15-hundred police officers - many in riot gear - were on duty to try to keep the peace.
But they became targets themselves - protesters chucked bricks and bottles at police armoured cars meant to separate the angry locals from the marchers.
The Orangemen -- the name given to Ireland's main Protestant fraternal order -- congregated at the Orange County Hall later in the evening to begin their march.
They were undeterred by pleas not to march through predominantly Catholic neighbourhoods.
SOUNDBITE:
I think we have to keep our traditional parades going because as you can see it's happening all over this province since the so-called peace come in a couple of years ago. There hasn't been peace because what they're doing now is trying to put the Protestant culture off the road.

Each summer, the marches that culminate in the big Orangemen parade on 12 July spark sectarian rumblings.
The parades take the Protestants through the heart of a number of Catholic neighbourhoods.
And for the Catholic residents, the marches underscore a sense of second-class citizenship in the Protestant-majority province.
SOUNDBITE:
The Orange Order seems a sectarian organisation, it's an anti-Catholic organisation and it's going to be marching through a Catholic district. Nobody knows who gave these people the God-given right to do this. Our communities are going to be under siege, people are going to be barricaded in their houses, they let these outsiders come and march there. We just don't accept that it's necessary.
SUPER CAPTION: John Flemming, spokesperson for the Cliftonville-Antrim Road Concerned Residents Association
This year, police had overruled objections by Catholic residents and allowed Friday's march to go ahead.
And despite the skirmishes, the Orangemen were able to complete their march along their customary route.
Protestant supporters of all ages lined the road - but the pall of violence hung heavy in the background.

Why would they want to march through Catholic areas unless to perpetuate the sectarianism bigotry and hatred and open old wounds ?
The republican separatists are everywhere though, and that's their intention.

Its despicable how these marches can go on through Catholic parts of the city, I mean aren't the marches literally targeting the Catholics? As a catholic, its really disheartening to see how they can be like this :/
It’s called living in a free country. Catholics have to accept the right of a a peaceful March.
@@MarlboroughBlenheim1 Its rarely peaceful with all the lowlife hangers on..These people made a religion out of protesting about the Catholic one so why would Catholics want them near their streets ..Protestants have to accept that society doesnt want to put up with any sectarian marches anymore..It creates hatred
@@stevenmitsy1 it’s called freedom of expression and freedom of speech. Too bad if Catholics don’t like it. If anyone misbehaves then of course they should be arrested.
@@stevenmitsy1 would you ban a BLM March through a white area, because of the actions of a minority? Once you start doing that, you are infringing on rights of expression. The majority of marchers in the parades are peaceful and are expressing their right to an opinion about history and religion which differs from the Catholic view. That is ok. Just as it would be ok for Catholics to express the contrary view, which they do. I agree there are some morons but you get them on both sides.
@@MarlboroughBlenheim1 Just because its allowed doesnt make it right..It infringes on the freedoms of good Catholic people who dont want to listen to that noise near their homes..I really feel that they should bang their wee drums in protestant areas where they it would be tolerated ..The quicker these sectarian matches end , on both sides , the better for society as a whole..It creates hatred like i mentioned before

Hate is not culture.
Yeah, it's amazing these nationalists never seem to get that...
The nationalist identity in Northern Ireland appears to be becoming ever stronger and Irish culture, history, language, sport etc being on the rise will bring this ancient province back to its celtic roots. I cannot see this transition being stemmed and I hope loyalists will accept such change.
No

@@JinjurJiant said the man from the smaller gene pool
ok truth is a dutchman beat a hald danish half scottish king with a french army almost 350 years ago. and irish are fighting each other for the outcome. only religion can do that
What exactly is " protestant culture" apart from in this context a revolting exhibition of bigotry and sectarianism?
Protestants are more individualistic and are known for their work ethic whereas catholics are known for being tyrannical and pedophiles.
Under no circumstances should these marches be permitted in Catholic neighborhoods. Keep in mind boyos that if you keep this up, your final march will be into the ocean. We outnumber you
Catholics have very big families!!!
These scenes remind one of the Civil Rights struggle in the 1960s American South.
Don't listen to that person that commented just look at their name. In the north we had out own civil right struggle that culminated in a 30 year long war called the troubles. Catholics were discriminated against in all walks of life. Catholics didn't have a vote yet some landowning protestants had up to 5 votes. All we wanted was one man one vote but the protestants didn't want us to be have them. The police force was 99% protestant so catholics were even discriminated against by the police force. There are images of police throwing petrol bombs into catholic homes.
You know, the northern Ireland civil rights association (NICRA) in 1969 took alot of inspiration from the civil rights struggle in 60s America
Your right the cop's are for the loyalist only.
Instead of burning crosses, they burn stacks of pallets draped with the tricolour. Other than that, yeah.
The Irish civil rights marches in the 60s Came from inspiration of martin Luther King etc. < This was leadup to the troubles
There is enough Klan walks & Showaddywaddy impersonators playing on our streets.
Ridiculous conduct by the police. Clearly a standoff situation. You don't wade in and start arresting a sit-down mob individually.
Think everyone had had enough at this point
You obviously don't know what you're talking about
I love how great the Irish and british get along. So heart warming!

More people need to do this, the Orangemen have been allowed to do this for so long and it's horrible. My family are Catholics and they have to live with this going on. Who cares if it's traditional? It's disgusting and if you support it, well, everyone has an opinion but we don't want to hear yours
It’s just a parade. Catholics can parade too.
@@noodlyappendage6729 it’s a parade celebrating how the Protestants killed many fucking Irish people. That’s like having a hitler parade in a Jewish community, or a Christofer Columbus parade in a Native American community.
@@noodlyappendage6729 it’s not a parade, it’s sectarian bigotry
@@johndevlin4318 Theres nothing wrong with sectarianism. It just means there are different sects. It makes like interesting. Catholics have their own fraternal organisations as do people from other religious backgrounds.
@@noodlyappendage6729 does religious and ethnic discrimination make life interesting for you? You’re a bigot.
This is not about Protestant vs Catholic, thats just a by-product. It's about land.
But boy isn't it handy to blame religion instead of the robbery that started the fight!

give it 10 years time Ireland will have her 6 county's back.....
Yous have been saying that for 100 years.
"Northern Ireland" isn't even 100 years old. Another typical uneducated planter by the sounds of it. You can't keep what you stole and your time is running out. I feel sorry for you bigots because Britain don't want you either
Niccolo Machiavelli You know what i meant. It more or less is 100 years bar 3 or 4. But the point stands is that nationalists have been saying that for all this time and have achieved little. The fact is most people in Northern Ireland wish to remain part of the UK both Protestant and Catholics alike. Besides the irony is very strong with you. You call me a bigot yet you are the one that is also commenting on this.
How does commenting on a video make someone a bigot by default? It's well known that your so called "culture" is steeped in deep hatred and intolerance. You aren't as British as you are anti-Irish. It won't be 10 years but the idea that 6 counties in an occupied country will remain separated from it's rightful owners is nonsense and you know it
The basic definition of being a bigot is more or less not agreeing with others opinions, which clearly you don't agree with ours. Besides this the main reason that there is any hatred is because this is a Majority unionist state yet the nationalists always seem to get their way, be it small issues or major issues it slowly gets to the point that people are going to retaliate and spew hatred to the other side, not always justified but understandable in some ways. The fact is the hatred is strong on both sides both are just as bad as each other. And as for being 'anti-irish' no that would suggest that we hate all Irish people which is not the case. The fact is we are anti republcan and anti nationalist that is the difference.
Clear them off the streets & Keep the North of Ireland Tidy 🇮🇪
It's time to bring this ancient province back to its pagan routes. It should be turned into a world heritage centre of celtic language, culture, music and sports. All roads and buildings sign posted in gaelic. It appears to be going that way already and I'm looking forward to visiting this ancient celtic province very soon.
Respect from Kavkaz🙌
How Protestants and Catholics, two groups of people who worship the same god, same Jesus and use the same bible don’t get on, just baffles the mind
It’s not really about religion , more of an ethno nationalist conflict
The Irish they have no idea why they are fighting, just as long as they can have a fight!
Errr nah mate it's cus we got discriminated against like fuck by cunts that want to march through Irish areas to show dominance
@@pfhrmb well said 🙌
My friend you simply don’t know an irishman, they fight for freedom
Is this derivative of William the Orange?
If there can't be peace from two different Christian groups with differing theological bible interpretations then there is no hope for Christianity... The bible stated that in the end days Christians would be hated... I can understand why
Well there obviously isn’t agreement - you might want to check on history and the wars, burnings, tortures, and persecutions in the and of Christianity within the religion and outside. It’s a man made religion like all of them and it shows.
how would you react to having something rammed down you throat that you find abhorrent ?????
@@stephenowens354 I don't find Christ abhorrent, it's the people who claim to be his followers but do Satan's work who I find abhorrent... and they tend to be religious people of many differing factions...
this isn’t about religion though, the whole conflict is about national identity
it’s nothing to do with religion that is just the best way of distinguishing someone as the irish which occupied ireland before invasion and the british and scottish who moved there took peoples land and called themselves irish (they’re the protestants)
Well I mean those orange lodges have been going for a couple of hundred years. They have walked that road every year I would assume. Then north belfast has all these recent blow ins over the last couple of years and they think they can put a stop to it.
Yep..
Sounds like the blowins are the ones with brains
I mean lol
Orange, your true monarch
You know this is less about faith, as both sides are Christian, the only difference is Protestants don't see Mary as being perfect, as she was born human and with sin, and all about politics, who controls the law, taxation, etc, etc. Kinda silly really. When the common ground is so easy to achieve if both sides work together. The USA is a good litmus test on that principle, we all 'more or less', as citizens get along.
It is SO MUCH more than the issue of the Virgin Mary. Ever even heard of the Pope?
As another replier said it is far more than just about Mary, if you're uneducated on the differences you don't have to put your opinion out there you know.
It’s nothing to do with religion, it’s irish nationalism versus those who want the north united with the UK. Most unionists are descendants of those from Great Britain, they settled in ireland by force and took slaughtered and plundered from the more vulnerable. Hence most unionists are protestants. It’s a way of determining someone’s heritage a scottish or english heritage versus an irish heritage. Irish are almost always catholic and vice versa
the Parades of Hate
as they should
Like Israel and Palestine over there. Wish they could all just live in peace.
It’s nothing like Israel and Palestine.
That sums it up no respect for any other community a shared society not thats our area thats ur area
its best if northern ireland is split into two, the Protestant Northern Ireland and the Catholic Northern Ireland
Cobblers the loyalists could always come back to the mainland
Lets see republicans march the Shankill road if you orangemen want to talk about " respect our culture " and all that jazz.

@@georgea7022 feck off
can you tell us a bit about the day tony?
Why does the MSM and friends always use the religious description, in Britain any sit down protest - e.g. the global warming bunch, are described as 'protestors' not which faith they're from. Also, I'd suggest using the Soylent Green method to remove the sit down bunch, those tippers are just the thing...:-)
James 2 vrs 24...... You see that a person is considered saved by what they do and NOT by faith alone.
Let's suppose a man hasn't bothered with Christ his whole life. Then as he is lying in hospital dying, a chaplain comes and talk to him about the need to be saved. That man thankfully puts his trust in Christ and dies a few days later. According to your view, that man will be condemned to Hell. In reality, this man will be passed safely over into Heaven.

No one gives a care about what god you believe in. They care what you think about the politics of northern ireland
Westminster should take back the descendants of the planters .
It’s very unfair on them ( planters) they haven’t
Settled or integrated into Irish society.
They have had generation after generation refusing to be part of the land where they were born.
I think it’s safe to say that they won’t ever settle now and would be better back in their home land in northern England and southern Scotland.
I’m sure there would be a great big orange welcome there for them for a day or two .

That's why your out of Ireland right?
Hopefully things are better now.
ok it needs a miracle but marching season could be a massive plus for NI, a contest of Bands from both sides instead of a giant wind up exercise, why? could be a huge tourist attraction, a celebration of peace. Look at where the Americans have taken it.
Even though this comment is three years old. It’s still quite possibly one of the dumbest things I’ve ever read in my entire life.
Bands across Ireland already compete. However make sure to remember that there is a difference between Catholics and Republicans. Many Catholics support remaining in the UK. Before ‘The Troubles’ many Catholics used to come out and watch the bands. The William King Memorial Band from Londonderry are considered to be the best in Ireland. And probably the best in the UK.
looking back I think my comment was based on removing a flash point where both could accept themselves in others, I also think the Walls should be removed, all these things hold onto conflict and divide what essentially is little difference but the little difference could also be a celebration and competition that will draw crowds from the mainland and beyond to watch these fabulous sights and sounds rather than just each other.
If anyone thinks that's totally dumb fair enough but it's strange how the men of war accepted each other but ordinary folk cannot, peace came from one brief moment of acceptance that both have the birth right to be there, I just think a few hours of the same every summer would be less hassle and grief and maybe that's only visible from the mainland where no one knows or cares which of the two religions anyone is because those traditions have gone and there isn't any walls.
Having said that I have no idea what I meant by: _look at where the Americans have taken it._
if it comes back to me I'll mention it.
@@mc2594 what you meant by that was the marching bands in the USA. Almost every college/university in the USA has one. They are a very positive thing. They are also a positive thing in the UK. The problem in Northern Ireland is that hardcore Irish Republicans activists exaggerate the problems of peaceful bands parading and come out en masse to be over confrontational with them. In many cases these bands have paraded through the same route for 200 years and after hardcore Irish Republican activists have moved in these parades are a problem all of a sudden. The UK’s streets belong to all UK citizens and all UK citizens should be able to parade. Our streets don’t only belong to hardcore Irish Republican activists.
@@mc2594 Really what we are talking about is Irish Republicanism not Irish Catholics. Although there is a cross over there have been many Irish Catholic Unionists in the past. Charles Arthur Russell, Baron Russell of Killowen is just one. And there are many Irish Catholic Unionists in the present like Stephen McCarthy who is standing as a UUP candidate in South Belfast. The UK from its inception was a multinational and multicultural state as it was a country made up of countries. England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland and now Northern Ireland. As we know thousand of Irish Catholics have served in Her Majesties Armed forces and many still do. Those Catholics play in their respective military marching bands. Maybe Northern Ireland just needs a civilian Catholic Unionist marching band. There are loads of Catholic Unionists in Northern Ireland in order to make that happen. ✌️
