BAMAKO, Mali — At least 36 people were killed in a stampede Monday when a crowd surged against a metal barrier after a Muslim ceremony, said Mali’s minister of interior security and civil protection.
Sadio Gassame said the stampede at Bamako’s Modibo Keita Stadium took place during a ceremony marking the Muslim holy period of Maouloud. The incident occurred as tens of thousands of people were attempting to leave through a metallic enclosure.
