Cameroon: At Least 8 Dead After Stampede to See the Football

Black lives matter.

Like, a lot.

Like, they are the most important thing on earth.

But they are not more important than a sports match. And sometimes they have to die so that other people can see the sports.

Football fans in Cameroon were crushed as they tried to get into a stadium to see the match.

The deadly stampede broke out outside Olembe Stadium before an Africa Cup of Nations football game between Cameroon and the Comoros Islands on Monday. The stampede was reportedly sparked by people frantically trying to get into the stadium to watch the match – which was won by Cameroon 2-1.

Naseri Paul Biya, who serves as governor of the central region of Cameroon, told AP that authorities were still assessing the death toll. AP later reported, citing a preliminary report by the local health authorities, that as many as 8 people lost their lives in the incident. At least 40 injured people were reportedly taken to a nearby hospital.

We all know what the solution to this is.

If we want to protect the most precious thing in the entire universe – black lives – we need to move the entire population of Cameroon to the UK, where they have very orderly procedures for entering football stadiums.

It should be an easy choice to make.

But unfortunately, we live in a world dominated by white supremacy.
