Dozens Killed In Stampede After Soccer Match

CONAKRY, Guinea (AP) — Fifty-six people were killed and dozens injured as security forces tried to quell clashes during a soccer match in southern Guinea’s largest city. Guinea’s Prime Minister Amadou Oury Bah said late Sunday on X that the stampede broke out on Sunday afternoon in the city of Nzerekore during a local tournament between the Labe and Nzerekore teams. Local media are reporting that the chaos followed a disputed penalty that angered fans, many of them clashing and pouring onto the open soccer field at the crowded stadium.
