In a devastating turn of events, a football match in Nzérékoré, Guinea, ended in tragedy as a crowd crush claimed the lives of dozens of spectators. The incident occurred during a local tournament match between the teams of Labé and Nzérékoré, held in honor of Guinea's military leader, Mamady Doumbouya.

The chaos erupted following a controversial decision by the referee, which led to fans of the visiting team, Labé, throwing stones onto the pitch.

Harrowing footage from the scene shows fans scrambling to climb the stadium walls in a desperate attempt to escape.

Prime Minister Mamadou Oury Bah confirmed the tragic events, expressing deep sorrow and calling for calm as authorities work to restore order and provide aid to the injured. The exact number of casualties remains unclear, but reports indicate that many of the victims were children.

This incident is a stark reminder of the dangers posed by overcrowded stadiums and the need for stringent safety measures to prevent such tragedies in the future. The government has pledged to conduct a thorough investigation to determine the cause of the stampede and ensure accountability.
