A celebration of new beginnings turned into tragedy in the capital of Uganda on New Year’s Eve.
Nine people died during a stampede at a concert and fireworks celebration Saturday in Kampala, the country’s largest city, the BBC reported. Officials said many of the victims were between 10 and 20 years old.
Sylvia Nakalema, a witness who got caught in the stampede, told The Guardian, that the fireworks show turned deadly when viewers descended stairs from a platform where they had been watching.
