Sudan Events – Agencies\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

British police are gearing up for another night of violence amid concerns that far-right groups plan to target as many as 30 locations around the United Kingdom on Wednesday following a week of rioting and disorder.
\nAuthorities are mobilizing about 6,000 specially trained officers to respond to disorder throughout the UK, and London\u2019s Metropolitan Police Service said it would do “everything in our power” to protect the capital.
\nUK cities and towns across have been wracked by violence for the past week as angry mobs egged on by far-right extremists have clashed with police and counterdemonstrators sparked by the spread of misinformation about the identity of the suspect in a stabbing rampage that killed three young girls in the seaside community of Southport. The suspect was falsely identified as an immigrant and a Muslim.
\nRioters spouting anti-immigrant slogans have attacked mosques and hotels housing asylum-seekers, with reports emerging of violent counterattacks in some communities.
\nInternet chat groups have shared a list of law firms specializing in immigration and advice agencies as possible targets for gatherings Wednesday. The messages have invited people to “mask up” if attending.
\nPrime Minister Keir Starmer held a second consecutive meeting of the government\u2019s COBRA emergency response committee on Tuesday to coordinate the response to the crisis, which he has described as “far-right thuggery.”
\nPolice have already made more than 400 arrests around the country, and the government has pledged to prosecute and jail those responsible for the disorder.
\nThe government has also announced new measures to protect mosques.
\nLondon’s Mayor Sadiq Khan said in a post on X that the police, city hall and community leaders are working to protect targeted buildings and places of worship. Those involved in the disorder will feel the full force of the law, he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
