Although Northern Ireland has been peaceful on paper for 23 years, the parties to the conflict have remained divided. Some argue that it is because of the so-called peace wall, which divides Republican and loyalist areas and thus prevents meetings and integration. Others say that the wall is a vital protection against aggression from the other side, and that if it is torn down, Belfast may once again be marked by violence, death and terror.

Some see them as a brutal terrorist organization. Others believe that the IRA is a freedom fighter - whose solidarity extends across national borders to other rebels' struggle against oppression and imperialism.

In today's Europe, it is difficult to avoid issues of migration and integration. This is perhaps even more true in the UK, given the country's imminent exit from the EU. It is against this background that the conversation with Suleiman Abdulahi from the organization Horn of Africa People's Aid Northern Ireland takes place.
