Some 400 demonstrators took part in the 11th Easter March in Bonn on Saturday, calling for an end to the wars in Ukraine, Israel and Palestine, Syria and over 40 other regions around the world; the A450 motorway had to be closed at the Siegburg junction on Saturday afternoon after a VW Polo caught fire; and a mysterious tower in Bonn Duisdorf turns out to be very nature-friendly. Our news in brief for Easter Sunday.
Since 2007, Andrea Quaden from Bonn has been working to help refugees. Before Easter, she returned from a mission on the Sea-Eye 4 rescue ship. The team was able to save 106 people from drowning in the Mediterranean, but for 96 refugees, help came too late.
