At least 24 people have died in a stampede at a beach concert in Conakry, the capital of Guinea, to mark the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.<\/p>\n
The president’s office has declared a week of national mourning after what it called a “tragic drama” at a concert by the Guinean rap group Instinct Killers.<\/p>\n
Dozens of people were injured, said police sources quoted by AFP.<\/p>\n
The concert took place on Tuesday evening on a beach in Ratoma, a northern suburb of Conakry.<\/p>\n
The authorities were “shocked by the tragic drama caused by mass movements at a cultural event,” said a statement from the president’s office.<\/p>\n
Hospital sources said there were 13 girls among the dead.<\/p>\n
