Nzérékoré is a commercial and economic center and lies approximately 354 mi (570 km) southeast of Conakry.[7] The violence ended after the Guinean military imposed a curfew, and President Alpha Condé made a televised appeal for calm.[7] On 1 December 2024, Nzérékoré football stadium was the scene of violent clashes and a stampede that caused at least 56 deaths.After a disputed refereeing decision fans started to throw stones, triggering panic, after which the police joined in, firing tear gas.In the rush and scramble for the single stadium exit that followed, people fell to the ground and many, including children were trampled underfoot.
