Hundreds of people leaving a late-night rap concert in Guinea’s capital celebrating the end of Ramadan created a stampede that killed at least 33 people, officials said Wednesday. Witnesses said the stampede on a beach in the capital, Conakry, occurred after the show ended, as the large crowd tried to exit through a small gate. Some people fell and were trampled, prompting President Alpha Conde to declare a week of national mourning.
