Retraite aux flambeaux à Sédhiou : un incident fait 75 blessés
The torchlight procession organized last night came to an abrupt end halfway through due to a major incident. Too close a crowd within the procession caused several torches to ignite simultaneously, creating an immediate blaze. Seized by panic, many young people threw their torches to the ground, spreading the flammable liquid from the containers to those nearby.
A total of 75 people suffered burns, including three second-degree burns. They were all admitted to intensive care at the Amadou Tidiane Ba Regional Hospital.
As a sign of solidarity with the victims, the authorities immediately ended the event. Many families will not be in a celebratory mood.
