A night of intense violence swept through Belfast, Northern Ireland, on Tuesday after a stabbing attack attributed to a Sudanese man. The incident unleashed what multiple outlets described as a racist pogrom, with scenes of chaos and fury spilling into the streets. Witnesses described children displaced from their homes and the life’s work of residents reduced to ashes. The clashes drew condemnation from across the political spectrum, and editorial cartoonists in Britain weighed in on the broader wave of anti-immigration sentiment fueling the unrest. The violence underscores the fragility of community relations in Northern Ireland, where long-standing tensions can be reignited with devastating speed.
