25 years ago today, on 10-April-1998, the Good Friday Accords were signed in Belfast, Northern Ireland. This settled the Troubles, which had started 30 years before. Many political parties in Northern Ireland, including the republican Sinn Fein and the Ulster Unionist Party and other smaller parties, agreed to cease firing, disarm and form a new government. The cease fire has held so far.
