When Mory Cisse dropped his 27-year-old brother off at a stadium in the southeastern Guinean city of Nzerekore to watch a soccer match after lunch on Sunday, he had no idea it would be the last time he saw him alive.
His brother had been in town for the funeral of their father who died last week, and the two had gone to watch the final of a tournament in honour of Guineas junta leader Mamady Doumbouya.
Cisse left before chaos erupted in the stadium, leading to a crush that killed at least 56 people, including his brother.
It was at 7 pm that a friend called me to tell me that the situation was very tense there at the stadium, Cisse said.
I was told to call my brothers number but it was not going through. It was when I went to the hospital that I found his body.
