‘My kids are crying’: Racist address list spreads fear in Belfast

A list of addresses targeting immigrant homes is circulating on social media in Belfast, sparking fear among the city’s minority ethnic communities as violence erupts across Northern Ireland. The addresses, spread across dozens of streets, are reportedly houses of multiple occupation (HMOs) where immigrants live. Many residents believe they are being directly threatened. Joseph and Solomon, both refugees from Eritrea now living legally in Belfast and working full-time, reside on a street where one property is listed. Joseph feared his own home was the target. “It’s obviously for us,” he said. The unrest has cast a harsh light on racism in the region, with families terrified for their safety. “My kids are crying,” one resident told local media.
