We pray for the Republic of the Congo, where at least 37 people have died and 140 were injured in an overnight stampede during an army recruitment drive in a stadium in Brazzaville, the capital city. The situation unfolded when the country’s army announced the recruitment of 1500 people aged between 18 and 25. People forcibly opened the gates, resulting in many being trampled in the scramble. Authorities have confirmed ongoing investigations.
