TENSION in Tamworth, NSW, over Sudanese refugees in the community is set to ignite again, with two of the new arrivals yesterday pleading guilty to maliciously wounding a former co-worker.
Elfatah Yacub El-Haj and Mou Bol Alak admitted attacking two fellow refugees with a bottle and a hammer during a late-night home invasion in Tamworth last year.
A third Sudanese man, Mayan Achiek Toul, who is accused of waving a knife around and threatening to kill an occupant of the house, also intends to plead guilty to malicious wounding and assault.
The trio was living in Tamworth at the time of the incident and attacked the men who had previously worked with them at a local abattoir.
There had been friction among the group because the attackers had been dismissed from their positions at the Peel Valley Abattoir.
One of the victims was struck in the head with a broken bottle and a hammer during the attack while another received stomach wounds.
Ater Maker Ater, 25, who received cuts to his fingers, told police he believed he was attacked because he still held a job at the abattoir and his assailants did not.
Tamworth Council last year voted to reject a request to take further refugees from nations such as Sudan, Somalia and the Congo.
At the time, Tamworth Mayor James Trelour said the city was struggling with the 15 refugees it already had, stating they were having problems assimilating.
But, amid claims of racism, Mr Trelour was forced to apologise this month, announcing the council would work to accept a further five Sudanese families.
During a plea hearing in the District Court yesterday, Judge Greg Woods referred to the controversy.
"Are there any complications likely to arise out of this matter with Tamworth?" the judge asked.
"I know from the current publicity that there have been matters aired in public in Tamworth which may cause some excitement about this matter.
"Is there anything in it that requires me to make it a condition of bail they don't go back to Tamworth?"
The court was told it was already part of the mens' bail conditions that they remain in Sydney and not travel back to Tamworth.
"I think that would be more prudent," the judge said.
All three men were granted bail.
Toul will re-appear in court today when he is likely to enter pleas.
The two other men will face a sentencing hearing in March.
