CNN —A crowd crush at a football match in Guinea has caused multiple casualties, the country’s prime minister has confirmed, with one social media video showing fans scrambling to get out of a packed stadium. “The government deplores the incidents that marred the football match between the Labé and Nzérékoré teams this afternoon in Nzérékoré,” Prime Minister Bah Oury said in a statement. Video geolocated by CNN showed fans scaling a wall as they tried to flee the stadium in Nzérékoré in southeastern Guinea. Doumbouya, who seized power in a 2021 coup and has installed himself as president, is eyeing a potential presidential run in elections expected to be held in 2025. Doumbouya is one of several figures who have seized power in the volatile region since 2020.

☆ Residents ransack chimpanzee centre in Guinea after animal kills infant

Conakry, Guinea Reuters —People living near a chimpanzee research center in Guinea attacked the facility on Friday after a woman said one of the animals had killed her infant, the center’s managers said. Eyewitnesses said the crowd was reacting to the news that the mutilated body of an infant had been found 3 km (1.9 miles) from the Nimba Mountains Nature Reserve, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The research center said it had recorded six chimpanzee attacks on humans within the reserve since the start of the year. There are just seven left in Guinea’s Bossou forest, which forms part of the Nimba Mountains Nature Reserve, and is close to subsistence farming communities of the Nzerekore Region. The Nimba Mountains are also home to one of Guinea’s largest iron ore reserves, which has raised concern among environmentalists about the impact of mining on chimpanzees.
