Fire and fallout in Ballymena: What's changed two months since the riots?

Riots in Ballymena two months ago targeted Roma immigrants, leading to an "exodus" from the area. Political leaders link tensions to lack of political leadership and housing issues, while community workers emphasize socioeconomic deprivation as a root cause. Ongoing protests, purportedly for protection, have also drawn criticism for targeting entire groups instead of individual offenders. Peaceful protests continue, calling for a focus on addressing violence against women and girls without targeting specific racial backgrounds.
