I see. Is that kind of a tense situation, or is it amicable?
I’m not entirely sure, both countries have people who want it reunited and others who want it to remain separate. Sometimes violence has been used to get that point across, more so in the previous decades.
It’s a very complicated situation and I’m not knowledgeable enough about it to have an opinion either way.
Understood, I appreciate the insights!
An end to official hostilities was reached in 1998 but there have remained tensions and occasional bouts of violence. Anti-British sentiment is not greatly uncommon and the recent rise of the far-right has stoked this somewhat.
Interesting, thank you
