00:00 At least 37 people were killed last night in St. Peter's Stadium, the capital of the
00:05 Republic of Congo, Brasbille, where thousands of young people came to ask for a job in the
00:10 country's army.
00:11 The Congolese Minister of Communications and Statements said that during the night of Monday
00:15 20 to Tuesday 21, November 20, a tragedy occurred at the Machel Ornans Stadium resulting in
00:22 death and injuries.

00:40 It was just a crowd, the crowd that rushed in front of the gate, and there were so many
00:45 people that we couldn't all get in.
00:48 And then some people fell and then others started stepping on them, and that's what
00:53 caused the accident.
00:57 The whole crowd behind me fell on top of me, and then I don't know what happened.
01:01 I found myself in an ambulance.
