Nationalists riot as Orangemen triumph
Article Abstract:
David Trimbel, Ulster Unionist led the march of 11,000 Orangemen in Belfast on July 12 1996, whilst elsewhere in the city there were burn-out cars and broken bottles, the remains of rioting which started on July 7 1996. The violence of the 1996 loyalist marches is expected to be remembered. Police in Londonderry are expecting further riots and claim that the events of the night of July 12 1996 were the worst for several tens of years. The security forces used hundreds of baton rounds in response to 900 hundred petrol bombs.

The present is Orange
Article Abstract:
The decision of the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) to allow the Orangemen to march in Portadown, Northern Ireland, in a Roman Catholic area, on July 11 1996, resulted in riots causing damage to buildings and to people being hurt. People living locally, clergy and politicians, criticised the RUC, but after forbidding the Orangemen to march since July 6 1996, the police decided that it would be preferable to give in as the alternative would have been for law and order to have collapsed.
