Be vigilant丨There have been no serious riots in the UK and Northern Ireland for many years. Pay attention to the risks of import and export!

There have been serious riots in the UK and Northern Ireland in the past few days, which has never been seen in many years. The traffic paralysis and congestion caused by the riots, the interruption of transportation, and the transfer and extraction of goods will be affected to a small extent. Foreign trade forwarders mainly pay attention to import and export risks.
According to the British "Times" report, riots occurred in many places in Northern Ireland for 6 consecutive nights. On the evening of the 7th, there was an escalation of violence "unseen in many years" in Belfast. The police were attacked by petrol bombs and masonry. , A bus and two cars were hijacked and set on fire, and a photographer was attacked. A total of 55 police officers have been injured.

Jonathan Roberts, Assistant Commissioner of the Northern Ireland Police Service, told the media that it was clear that the violence was "a certain degree of organization." "We have seen young people participating in serious chaos and committing serious criminal offences. It was supported and encouraged, and these actions were planned by adults at some point."
The Labour Party, the largest opposition party in the UK, alleged that the continued violent riots in Northern Ireland were caused by the out-of-control vacuum caused by the weak leadership of British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and the tension brought about by his Brexit agreement.
Although the British Prime Minister Johnson publicly condemned the violence, the British Secretary of State for Northern Ireland Brandon Lewis and the Chief Minister of Northern Ireland Arlene Foster have long urged participants to act calmly, but they have not achieved the effect of quelling the riots. According to the Police Service of Northern Ireland, most of the participants in the violent attack on the police are young people, the youngest being even 12 years old. Among the first seven people prosecuted by the police, the oldest was only 25 years old and the youngest was only 13 years old.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson stated that he is "deeply concerned" about the continuing violent riots and said that "the way to resolve differences is through dialogue, not violence or crime." Irish Prime Minister Michel Martin also tweeted that “totally condemn the violent riots” and “now is the time for the two governments and leaders of all parties to work together to resolve tensions and restore calm.”
Since the entry into force of the border inspection regulations after the UK left the European Union in January, Northern Ireland’s original constitutional status has been impacted and threatened by the “Brexit” solution, which has created a wider range of uneasiness and intensified tensions among the major parties. situation.
