Stampede caused by barricades: victims

Written By Unknown on Rabu, 02 Januari 2013 | 19.50

TWO survivors of the New Year's stampede in Ivory Coast that killed 61 people say barricades set up unofficially created the crush of thousands of people who were leaving a fireworks display.

The two survivors, who are hospitalised at Cocody Hospital, said on Wednesday that after the fireworks they were prevented from moving along the Boulevard de la Republic by wooden barricades.

Newspapers in Ivory Coast have speculated that the roadblocks were set up so pickpockets could steal money and mobile phones.

Ivory Coast President Alassane Ouattara, who declared three days of national mourning starting on Wednesday, has ordered an immediate investigation into the causes of the stampede.

He said the government would open a crisis centre to help families find missing people and to take testimony from witnesses.
