Congo-Brazzaville Observes Mourning For Victims of Stampede
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

Congo-Brazzaville is observing a day of mourning on behalf of the 31 people that died in a stampede during an army recruitment drive at a stadium in the capital on Monday, November 20, night. 

The government authorised for flags to fly at half-mast and also for drinking places to be closed in honor and a mark of respect for the deceased. 

The government had originally announced that 37 people had died in the stampede, but it was later revised to 31 people. 

At present, about 145 people were injured, with 15 people still hospitalised.

An inquiry is under way to determine the cause of the stampede. 

Local sources have informed the BBC that young people aged between 18 and 25 years had trooped in enmasse to the stadium in Brazzaville with the hopes of being recruited into the army.

Approximately 42% of young people are unemployed in Congo-Brazzaville, with a lot of youths seeing the army as one of the few places where they can secure employment.

The army has meanwhile, released a statement saying that it had suspended recruitment in Brazzaville in the aftermath of the stampede.
