Belfast on edge after rioters set fire to homes

Residents of a neighbourhood in east Belfast are on edge following anti-immigration riots that ripped through the streets and saw masked protesters set fire to homes and cars on June 9.

The violent destruction comes after Northern Ireland Police charged Hadi Alodid, a Sudanese man, with attempted murder after he allegedly attacked another man with a knife. U.K. politicians and police, meanwhile, have urged for calm and vowed to increase police presence in the days to come.
