At least 37 dead after stampede at military stadium in Republic of Congo during recruitment event
Authorities in Republic of Congo say at least 37 people are dead following a stampede at a military stadium overnight. The death toll was released Tuesday by the prime minister's office. Long lines have formed outside recruitment centers each day over the past week as young people have sought to join the army, one of the few institutions offering work in Republic of Congo. As many as 700 people a day have registered, though there are only a total of 1,500 places available.
