Seven People Killed in Stampede at Concert in Congo’s Capital
Seven people were killed and many others were injured during a stampede at a music concert in Congo’s capital Saturday (July 27), authorities said.
An estimated 30,000 people attended the concert, which featured several other musicians and pastors, the management company Maajabu Gospel said in a statement. Videos that appeared to be from the scene and broadcast of the event showed large crowds gathered outside the stadium in front of barricades as they waited to enter. Congo has witnessed such stampedes in past years, often blamed on poor crowd control measures such as excessive use of force.
