Authorities in Madagascar said at least 15 people were killed and 75 wounded in a stampede at a stadium after a military parade in Madagascar’s capital to mark the country’s Independence Day.
Joseph Ravoa-hangy Andriana-valona Hospital confirmed the casualties, said Secretary of State for the Gendarmerie General Richard Ravalo-manana.
Defence Minister, General Richard said it was unclear what had caused the stampede. Some witnesses said people were trying to push their way into the stadium but that authorities had only opened one small door.
