#012. Ten Brick Wall
🎙️ Episode 12 — Ten Brick Wall
In this episode, we return to the Green Line in central Nicosia and uncover the quirky but telling story of the “Ten Brick Wall” — a small UN peacekeeping dispute that became a powerful metaphor for Cyprus’ divided history.
From there, we trace the events of 21 July to 16 August 1974: the ceasefires that failed, the Geneva talks that collapsed, and the full-scale Turkish offensive that reshaped the island. Families fled, refugees filled the roads, and the UN buffer zone as we know it today was born.
