Algerians in riotous celebrations across France after team beat Super Eagles to make AFCON final

At least five persons were killed and 13 others injured in a traffic accident in eastern Algeria during celebrations of the country's qualification to the final of African Cup of Nations (AFCON) being held in Egypt.

Algeria beat Nigeria 2-1, getting the winning goal in the last seconds of the game from Riyad Mahrez.

The national radio channel 1 specified that the accident occurred on Sunday overnight in the eastern province of Jijel when a semi-trailer collided with a minivan carrying a group of supporters celebrating Algeria's victory in the semi-final.

Two supporters were killed immediately while three others succumbed to injuries in hospital.

The source added that 13 other supporters are in critical condition as they are receiving treatment.

In France, nearly 300 people were arrested in clashes amid the celebrations by fans of Algeria's national team.

Fans crowded in the streets for mass celebrations, throwing firecrackers, including at police, and climbed cars.

Dead BBQ human meat seller

This is not even the final match oh. Imagine how many that will die on Friday if they win Senegal!
Football is for fun and not violence please

Celebrations gone sour.

They where celebrating for those who will be moaning for them
Its a pity thy are eliminated before the final march

Aboki na Aboki

that's how they do in the north,
if they are happy and celebrating people die (remember

when buhari won during celebrations in the north people lost their lives )

when they are sad or offended, innocent people die

no value for life

Like the Yoruba saying goes..



Too much money has never killed anyone..Joy is what actually does the killing. Literal translation
