At least 16 people dead and eight others injured in a fire that engulfed an upmarket nightclub in Cameroon's capital Yaounde
The tragedy comes as the country hosts thousands of soccer players, fans and match officials from across the continent for the month-long African Football Cup of Nations tournament.
"The initial report shows 16 dead and eight seriously injured" after the "accidental fire" broke out on Saturday night, the communications ministry said on Sunday. "The tragedy, which was caused by explosions from the fireworks often used in these places, first consumed the building's ceiling, resulting in two very loud explosions, causing panic and a stampede," the ministry said.
"I don't have any information. I woke up this morning and they told me that my 38-year-old son is dead," said one woman, who gave her name as Fidele.In Douala, the economic capital in the south of the country, at least five discos have been partially or completely burned down in accidental fires over the past six years.
