"As Belfast burned, two Sudanese women braved the streets and sheltered those under attack
As mobs roamed Belfast's streets targeting anyone who looked foreign, Areej Fareh and Twasul Mohammed organised to help keep immigrant families safe
When the homes of two Sudanese families in Tiger Bay, north Belfast, were broken into by gangs of masked men earlier this week, the police took an hour to arrive.
A single mother and her two children hid as the downstairs of their home burned.
It seemed preferable to going out into the street. The gangs knew who they were. The gangs were targeting anyone who looked foreign.
In the other house, a father protecting his two children thought about how he was going to explain to his wife what had happened when she got home from a trip overseas.
Both of them are translators for the UK's National Health Service and both have cars for their work. Those cars, sitting on a street lined with loyalist murals, were burned."
