LOCAL campaign group United Against Racism ( UAR) has joined the North West Migrants Forum in condemning the threatening graffiti daubed on the house of a Sudanese family in the Fountain Estate in Derry.
Spokesperson Karen McCole said she does not believe the attack is representative of the area or the city.
“I have had the pleasure of meeting this family, they are fantastic people who give all they can back to the community,” Ms McCole said.
“There is no way that those responsible for this attack are acting in a way that represents the people of The Fountain.
“Derry is a place where people are welcomed no matter where they are from .
“United Against Racism send their love and solidarity to the victims of this racist attack.
“While politicians try to scapegoat asylum seekers and migrants, we must redouble our efforts to fight racist scaremongering, lies and misinformation. We are one community regardless of creed or colour.
“We will always look out for our neighbours.“
