At least 60 people have been killed and more than 200 injured in a stampede following a New Year's fireworks display in Abidjan's Plateau district, on Tuesday where the majority of those trampled upon and killed were young people between the ages of 8 and 15 years.
According to published reports, thousands gathered at the Felix Houphouet Boigny Stadium to see the fireworks and after the display, a large crowd were trying to leave the festivities at the same time as another large crowd was arriving. The flood of people leaving and arriving the stadium became a stampede which led to the deaths and injured.
