It’s the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, #fotw

Berlin-Wall-falls

It’s only been two decades since the jeers of the Berlin Wall falling occured targetting the reunification of modern-day Germany and causing a domino effect in the Eastern Bloc states from soviet shackles. It seems that 20 years is a lot of time for change. In it, Germany went from a fragmented country to a world power, again. This time more on an economic basis and less on military capabilities. And ever since, Eastern states like Poland and the Czech Republic rid themselves of oppression and misguided communism. At any rate, it’s a good to celebrate. A foundation has opted to write any tweet one precedes with “#fotw” on the wall. Ask for other walls to fall. Like the West Bank Barrier or other borders that limit and steal freedoms from people.
