God's Wrath Revealed Against Cote d’Ivoire

Flooding and frequent famines occur in Cote d’Ivoire.  A classic, though, was a recent event where 22 were killed at a football game, specifically:

At least 22 people have died in a crush at a football stadium during a World Cup qualifier in Ivory Coast.

More than 130 people were injured in the stampede at the Houphouet-Boigny arena in the West African country's city of Abidjan.

About 36,000 spectators were in the stadium, where hosts Ivory Coast beat Malawi 5-0.
The BBC's John James says it was packed for the return of Chelsea striker Didier Drogba, who scored twice.

Our correspondent says the authorities tried in vain to control the panicking crowd. One report said the police had fired tear gas to control the stampeding fans.

Wall collapses

The ministry of sport and the Ivorian Football Federation has confirmed the number of deaths and say the incident occurred when thousands of fans tried to squeeze into the city’s main stadium.

2 Kings 22:16-17 Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, even all the words of the book which the king of Judah hath read:  Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands; therefore my wrath shall be kindled against this place, and shall not be quenched.
