Ugandan housemates Stella and Sumayah, living in west Belfast, recount a terrifying night as riots engulfed their street, with neighbouring houses set ablaze and emergency services advising them to stay indoors.
Two Ugandan care workers, Sumayah Nakazibwe and Stella Ariokot, were trapped in their Belfast home for four hours during riots. They witnessed masked youths burning cars and bins, and narrowly escaped after a pastor intervened. Other families, including Romanian and Nigerian, were also targeted.
