A shocking knife attack in Belfast left Stephen Ogilvie, a man in his 40s, fighting for his life after losing his left eye in a brutal assault by Sudanese migrant Hadi Alodid, who faces charges of attempted murder.
The horrific incident, which involved Ogilvie being repeatedly stabbed, sparked widespread unrest and violent anti-immigrant protests across the city, as protesters clashed with police and set vehicles on fire.
Political leaders, including UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, condemned the subsequent riots as "racist mob violence" and urged the community to maintain calm amidst growing tensions.
Alodid has been remanded in custody following his court appearance, where prosecutors highlighted the severity of the attack and the threats he made, intensifying fears about community safety and immigration issues.
Footage of the violent assault circulated widely on social media, amplifying public outrage and leading to increased scrutiny over immigration policies and the entry of asylum seekers into the UK.
The family of the victim called for peace and urged the public to refrain from escalating violence against immigrants, emphasizing the need for unity and understanding during this turbulent time.
