Footage from peace protest in Nicosia (Video)

Over the past week, the bicommunal group Unite Cyprus NOW has been organising nightly or near-nightly demonstrations at the Ledra Street checkpoint in Nicosia. A small but dedicated number of demonstrators have attended regularly, and tonight were joined by UN Secretary-General Special Advisor on Cyprus Espen Barth Eide.

 

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
