New Year’s Eve celebrations have turned to tragedy in the Ivory Coast. At least 60 people, many of them children, were crushed to death during a New Year Fireworks display in the city of Abidjan. One witness said the stampede began when security forces tried to break up the crowd. Al Jazeera’s Mohamed Adow reports.

That does’nt makesense,it cant be true if its racist.
Aljazeera disables comments on too many videos. I say as long as they do this, we should give bad ratings to all aljazeera videos. If they treat their youtube audience with such contempt and disdain, they do not deserve any good ratings.
I will stop if i no longer see censorship of comments for at least a few days.
:/
deads and more deads terrible
Says you
Survival of the fittest works again.
Sad Story
How can you be so impatient to get home after a spectacle that you would push people forcing groups to step on other people? Never push in a crowd. If you are so impatient that you cannot keep from pushing others then don’t go out to crowded events. What a horrible way to start a new year.
To watch the fireworks.
@endtimelmission Really. This could have been avoided if they had the correct safety measures followed.
"when security forces tried to break up the crowd" it seems "security forces" help co-operation everywhere.
LOL!
Allasane you are a moron, you have order to maintain but you are a fucking idiot but then you can say like everyone else meh i aint perfect, what a copout, you wanna be president? be a father to your people first you dimwitt..
I’m not white you tard I’m black

My condolences to the families. Next time Big Screens so everyone can see, or an elevated platform. This sucks. so sad.
but its too small and too white to kick
stupid skinny ass bitch
It’s not racist if it’s true.
No you’re a loser that is me in my avatar dumbass I’m just light skin so fuck you
Go email them instead of spamming the videos, I’ll mark you for spam for now and give this video a thumbs up to spite you, happy new year.
not enough entries and exits. too small entries and exits.
thats why in newer stadiums the entries and exits tend to get bigger and bigger.
kfc was about to close.lol..
Deaths from fire stampede make sense. Deaths from Black Friday stampedes are decadent and retarded.
Did I say you had to? No, dumb fuck. I didn’t expect you to. Try trolling someone else, and GET OUT OF MY WAY.
sorry but you are an idiot. Of course if you message to protest, it helps to multiply the message by making it public.
They do literally shit in their own drinking water though, it’s actually a real problem in West African nations like this one and Liberia. There to poor to fund sewage projects so their citizen shit in the streets and near their water source.
My condloences to the people of Ivory Coast. The latest news report suspects (based on eyewitness accounts) that wooden barricades , which were not set up by the authorities, was put there, blocking the exit route so that pickpockets and phone thieves could execute their plan.
But, the when the baricades slowed the front crowd, there was a push from the back end of the crowd, which was caused the stampede.
another good look for humanity
fuck you you racist piece of shit
I have no clue as to what happened. A stampede in walking out of a door? Really?
I buy almost everything except food and clothing from online auctions sites. The site that has the best deals is
★ ☆ saveblast,Com ☆ ★
and I checked with the bbb and was told that it is all legit How they can sell gift cards, laptops, ,,
cameras, and all kinds of goodies that we all want for 50-90% off
I don’t know I do know that I bought my son an iPad there for less than $100 and my husband a $250
Loews gift cards for $48.Why would I even think about shopping anyplace else
Ah, reduced to personal attacks?(petty) Your message is one of annoyance to this audience, evident by your constant thumbs down rating. This is their channel they can block comments as much as they want. Continue to be a petty and immature human, I will rate the video based on content not of some presumed offence that "should" be taken because they have control over their own channel.
How does this kind of tragedy happen? So many people killed in a simple gathering of people.
why can i try my best if the cock is too small
eight years old ?they supposed to be at bed
OT: The dude @ 1:22 is kind of sexy

Completely missed the point.

why these children here in the first place ?
; Was ‘The Who’ playing there?
sounds plausible, something like this, combined with exits that are too small to begin with, are often to blame for such stampedes.
