Many refugees have fled Caia Park fearing for their safety

However, after 48 hours of violence which culminated in a stand-off between riot police and 200 people the refugees have said enough is enough.

Fearing for their safety, the Iraqi men fled their homes and asked community leaders and North Wales Police to find them new accommodation.

Asylum seeker Saman Hussein Nader has been in Wrexham for two years.

"People in Wrexham very bad, all of them," he said.

People hate me, I don't know why. We don't like trouble, just go to work and come back home Ali Hussein Karim Refugee

"When you go out, they see your hair black, they all hate you, all people nasty to you without any reason.

"I left my country because people they make trouble for me. I came to this country to save my life."

Speaking through an interpreter his friend Ali Hussein Karim said he would like to make friends with people but it has not happened.

"I'd like to get friends but people don't like me," he said.

Ali is a refugee and has been given leave to stay in the UK.

"People hate me, I don't know why. We don't like trouble, just go to work and come back home," he added.

Police were involved in a stand off with around 200 people

"I can imagine after seeing this kind of violence they think it represents Wrexham as a whole and it doesn't," said Marjorie Dykins, secretary of the Wrexham and District Refugee and Asylum Seekers support group.

"They have come from countries where there is torture and violence so they are sensitive to these sort of issues.

"A lot of the Iraqi Kurds had signs of torture on their body."

Mrs Dykins said it is difficult to ascertain how many refugees and asylum seekers live in Wrexham.

"A number of asylum seekers come into Wrexham and we have about 60 at any time," she said.

"The ones we know about are now refugees and when they are refugees they are free to go where they like.

"We don't know the numbers of refugees in the area. Refugees do want to integrate but when they see a big mob they do get frightened."

A minority of people living in Caia Park have demanded to know why the majority of Iraqi refugees living on the estate are young males.

"When you're single and a man it's more likely that you can flee and their families are persuading them to go," said Mrs Dykins.

However, Wrexham Council have stressed there are Iraqi families also living on the estate who have integrated well.
