A journalist's murder has brought a moment of unity that Northern Ireland must seize | Analysis by Nic Robertson
The world could have awoken this Good Friday indifferent to the simmering violence in Northern Ireland, indifferent to the stalled politics and shuttered chambers of its power-sharing assembly at Stormont.But on the eve of the 21st anniversary of the eponymous Good Friday agreement that was intended to end three decades of sectarian violence, a young journalist was shot dead.Lyra McKee was 29, an LGBT activist, and a portrayer and purveyor of life around her.
Brexit is further troubling the febrile scene, reviving questions about Northern Ireland's future that the peace process had laid to temporary rest in 1998.Trust has eroded, goodwill has fragmented, and all sides remain mired in disputes, with no resolution in sight. Twenty-one years before Lyra's murder, when she was just 8 years old, huge political effort was expended during peace talks to find compromise, end the fighting, and give her generation a chance of a better life.
