According to reports in the local media, the incidents occurred during the final match of the "General Mamadi Doumbouya" cup played between the teams of N'Zerekore and Labe on Sunday.
THERE ARE MANY DEAD AND INJURED
As the match neared its end, tensions escalated when the Labe team players protested the penalty decision awarded in favor of the N'Zerekore team. The situation worsened as security forces used tear gas, causing spectators to rush towards the stadium's only exit. At least 100 people lost their lives in the violent clashes that broke out between rival fans during the match.
It was reported that some individuals died due to tear gas, while others attempted to climb the stadium walls, resulting in casualties in the ensuing stampede. Guinea's Prime Minister Amadou Oury Bah expressed his condolences to the deceased in a statement on social media on Monday evening, assuring that necessary steps were being taken to restore order. "The government is closely monitoring the situation and is calling on everyone to return to calm so that effective first aid can be provided to the injured," the Prime Minister added that the government would make a statement once information regarding the incident was gathered.
