In Abidjan, Ivory Coast, at least 60 people died and two hundred others were injured as crowds stampeded overnight during celebratory New Year’s fireworks.
The head of military rescue workers, Lieutenant Colonel Issa Sako, told public television that the flow of people coming to the entrance of the city’s main stadium to watch the fireworks caused a very large crush. He said in the crush, people were walked over and suffocated by the crowd.
