Name
The Stadium gets its name from 28 September. The day Guinea famously voted NO in the French referendum, which ultimately led to the political independence of Guinea on 2 October 1958.[citation needed] Guinea-Conakry (formerly French Guinea) is the first former French colony in Sub-Saharan Africa to attain political independence.
28 September protest
On 28 September 2009 opposition party members demonstrated in the Stade du 28 Septembre, demanding that Guinean president Captain Moussa Dadis Camara step down. Security forces fired into the crowd killing 157 people and injuring 1,200.[1] In response to criticism from international human rights organisations, the government has said that only 56 people died and most were trampled by fleeing protesters.[2] The International Criminal Court is currently investigating the incident and the African Union asked for Camara's resignation.[3]
