Summary
Belfast erupted in chaos last night after the arrest of Sudanese asylum seeker Hadi Alodid, charged with attempted murder, sparking arson attacks that targeted non-white residents, destroyed homes and cars, and left a two-month-old baby among the rescued. Families who’ve lived there for decades were forced to flee as flames consumed their lives’ belongings, while businesses shuttered and transport halted amid fears of further violence. Authorities urge calm as investigations begin into online incitement, amid rising debates over border security and immigration policy — all while political leaders condemn the violence as thuggery and cowardice, vowing to hold perpetrators accountable.
