The protests in the Northern Irish capital followed violent riots targeting migrants. The unrest was sparked by an alleged knife attack by a Sudanese refugee, which had previously caused tensions. Demonstrators condemned the anti-immigrant attacks and called for unity.

Police deployed a large contingent to secure the rally. There were no immediate reports of arrests or injuries. Organizers stressed that violence against migrants is unacceptable and has divided society.
