A stampede at a football match in N’zérékoré, Guinea, led to the deaths of dozens of individuals, including possible children, amid clashes between fans and police. The chaos ignited after a controversial referee decision, prompting spectators to invade the pitch, prompting law enforcement to use tear gas. Prime Minister Mamadou Oury Bah has called for calm and stated that hospitals are aiding the injured. Local reports indicate the event was part of a tournament honoring President Mamadi Doumbouya, who took power after a coup in 2021.
