Summary
Houses, cars, and a bus were set on fire in Belfast last night in a night of violence that followed a knife attack on Monday
One pastor in north Belfast says black people's homes were targeted, while an MP tells the BBC there was a "race-based pogrom"
On one street, hundreds of masked men carrying bottles and bricks set bins on fire and shouted "foreigners out", our reporter says
Northern Ireland's First Minister Michelle O'Neill says "groups of masked men" were "burning families out of their homes"
The fire service says it was called to 62 incidents last night, most of them in the Belfast area. There was also disorder elsewhere in Northern Ireland, including Newtownabbey and Portadown
The violence followed a knife attack in Belfast on Monday night - the suspect, a 30-year-old Sudanese man, is due in court later
Police believe the suspect entered Northern Ireland across the Irish border in February 2023 having flown to Dublin from Paris. He claimed asylum and was granted leave to remain in the UK until 2028

Too much diversity?
,,, how very BBC. There wasn’t a problem to this extent until ethnic preferences for terminating a local’s life were exercised.
We can’t ever condone violence - but i want to puke knowing that they are going to make *this* a race issue when it’s a reaction by the Irish people to race based violence against them day after day after day that is ignored and/or explained away by the media and government.
The Belfast masked vigilante mob with torches is the first shot of the civil war in Great Britain. This will spread.
What a shame...
Some people did something
Anything that unites Protestants and Catholics in Northern Ireland like this did has got the populace pretty pissed off.
Because of this?
“Horrific scenes in North Belfast last night. An African migrant was caught on camera straddling a local Irish man and sawing at his neck with a knife, literally trying to cut his head off.
This is why Remigration isn’t fringe anymore, it is truly a form of kindness. Enough is enough.”
Yes
I don’t condone violence. But in certain circumstances it’s proof that the regular mechanisms of western society aren’t working. Note that I said some. There are subversive elements that see violence as a first choice rather than a last. Those people need to be dealt with appropriately.

Nice to see at least one part of Ireland has some balls to fight back against invasion and replacement.
Good...maybe a few balls do exist in Ireland...I hope it’s catchy.
They need to introduce their politicians to fire
They should stick to torching the hotels. The Irish will need those homes later.
thier ruling class has caused this
This is one for BLM......Belfast Lives Matter.
Good start
Michelle O’Neill Is one of the traitors that brought this invasion to Ireland.
Until that changes nothing will change.
