Belfast sees continued unrest and police deploy water cannon

Hadi Alodid, a 30-year-old Sudanese man, appeared before a judge in Belfast on Wednesday, June 10th, charged with attempted murder, possession of a bladed weapon, and making death threats. He was remanded in custody until July 8th, having refused legal representation and requiring an Arabic interpreter. This court appearance followed a second consecutive night of localized violence in Belfast. On Wednesday evening, British police deployed a water cannon to disperse demonstrators near the city. These incidents occurred amidst heightened tensions and a significant police presence, following Tuesday's "racist riots" where anti-immigrant protesters blocked routes and set fire to a bus, cars, and houses.
