'Northern Ireland still suffers from its past, and it will take generations to escape sectarianism and for violence to end totally. Nonetheless, it is in a different place now than during the Troubles, and it will not go back to the old days."
-Jonathan Powell
After the Troubles officially ended following the many treaties including the Good Friday Agreement, many people are still unsatisfied with the way the Troubles turned out. Many yearly events still continue, such as the Orange Day Parades. The parades and other events only lead to protests and riots due to the unhappy portion of Irish Nationalists or Loyalists.
Many young Irish Nationalists still resist the British rule with their relentless rioting and protesting. While the generation of people who experienced the Troubles have the event fresh in their minds, they do not resist the rule as much as others.
