Is this just a temporary riot, or a sign that nationalist extremism is making a comeback in Europe?
In Belfast, Northern Ireland, part of the United Kingdom, anti-immigration protests erupted after a Sudanese man was charged in connection with a stabbing that left a local resident seriously injured.
The demonstrations quickly escalated into riots. Buses and several vehicles were set on fire, while riot police were deployed across the city.
Notably, around 200 masked youths were reportedly seen in the outskirts of Belfast amid concerns that extremist groups may be targeting immigrant communities.
The incident has reignited intense debates over immigration, public safety, and the growing influence of nationalist movements across Europe.
